AMY SCHUMER WROTE HER COLLEGE THESIS ON the male gaze.
艾米·舒默的大學論文寫的就是男性凝視這一話題。
Fifteen years later, she struggles to conjure the details.
15年后的今天，回想論文的細節(jié)時她顯得有些吃力。
Did her subjects include Madame Bovary? Some Like It Hot?
論文主題寫到《包法利夫人》了嗎？寫到《熱情似火》了嗎？
Particulars aside, she’s been inspecting the ups and downs of womanhood in her comedy ever since,
拋開細節(jié)不談，從那時起到她的新作，即將于4月20日上映的《我覺得很美》，
right down to her latest project, the movie I Feel Pretty, out April 20.
可以說，她一直在審視自己創(chuàng)作的喜劇中女性的起起落落。
Schumer plays a woman who wishes she looked like a supermodel—
在她的新片中，舒默扮演了一個希望自己像個超模一樣的女性——
and after sustaining a head injury in a SoulCycle class, she wakes up believing she’s got Cindy Crawford looks.
在一節(jié)靈魂單車課上她頭部受了傷，醒來后確覺得自己長了一張辛迪·克勞馥的臉。
Her newfound confidence allows her to flourish in some ways, but it also makes her lose sight of herself.
這一新燃起的自信一定程度上讓她的人生開始走起了上坡路，但也讓她忘記了真實的自己。
Schumer plays this cocky bravado to great comedic effect,
舒默的表演給這種自以為是的逞能賦予了非常棒的戲劇效果，
and she sees the movie as a serious response to the unremitting notion
她認為，這部電影是在嚴肅地回應那種一直存在的，
that women try to locate their self-worth in physical beauty.
認為女性試圖從外表美中尋找自我價值的觀念。
“I was always like that, at 5 years old, just demanding equality,” she says.
“在我5歲的時候，我也總是會這么做，只是為了爭取平等，”她說。
“I thought it could all be fixed if you called attention to it.”
“我想如果能引起大家對這個問題的注意的話，這個問題還是可以完全解決的?！?/div>
She’s telling me about little Amy in a New York City hotel suite
她在給我講小艾米在紐約酒店套房的事，
where the handle to the bathroom door looks as if it belongs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s silver collection.
那是一間浴室門的把手看起來就像是大都會藝術博物館的銀器收藏一樣的套房。
On a table across the room is a wine glass, inexplicably filled with red rose petals.
房間對面的桌子上放著一只酒杯，里面莫名其妙地盛滿了紅玫瑰花瓣。
As Schumer puts it, “This is totally an affair hotel.”
正如舒默所說，“這完全是一家豪華酒店?！?/div>
Upon arriving fresh from an interview with Howard Stern,
剛接受完霍華德·斯特恩采訪回來，
she kicks of her skyscraping suede boots, props herself up on a pillow and—
她蹬掉了自己的恨天高麂皮靴子，挪了個枕頭過來靠在上面，然后——
because it’s just us and this is what women do when men aren’t around to raise an eyebrow—
因為只有我們兩人，這是女人在沒有男人在場對你的行為表示懷疑的時候才會做的事——
unbuttons her pants, post–Thanksgiving dinner style.
解開了褲子的紐扣，就像剛吃完感恩節(jié)晚餐時一樣。
It’s been a busy few years for Schumer, 36.
對于36歲的舒默來說，這幾年是比較忙碌的。
She wrote and starred in the 2015 comedy Trainwreck, picking up a Golden Globe nomination for acting;
2015年，她同時擔任了的喜劇《生活殘骸》的編劇和主演，因為該片她還榮獲了金球獎最佳表演獎提名；
released the best-selling book The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo in 2016; and in 2017 made her Broadway debut in a play by Steve Martin.
2016年出版了暢銷書《低腰紋身的女孩》；2017年她又首次登臺百老匯，演了史蒂夫·馬丁的一部戲劇。
But before all of that, on four seasons of her Peabody and Emmy-winning sketch-comedy show Inside Amy Schumer,
但在此之前，在榮獲了艾美獎的情景喜劇《艾米·舒默的內(nèi)心世界》的四季中，
she served up incisive satirical takes on the torments of modern womanhood.
她對現(xiàn)代女性所受的折磨進行了尖銳的諷刺。
One of her most viral sketches, “Girl, You Don’t Need Makeup,” parodies One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.”
這一季中，她最受歡迎的段子之一——《女孩，你不需要化妝》仿擬了單向樂隊的《讓你美麗的是什么》。
The original song purports to be about female empowerment while insidiously rewarding low self-esteem.
這首歌的主旨是一邊賦予女性權力一邊又暗暗獎勵自尊心很弱的人。
In the spoof, a gaggle of fresh-faced lads encourage Schumer to remove all her makeup, then change their minds upon seeing the result:
在這則惡搞視頻中，一群新面孔的小伙子慫恿舒默卸妝，在看到結果后又改變主意：
“I didn’t know that your lashes were so stubby and pale/ Just a little mascara and you’ll look female.”
“沒想到你的睫毛又粗顏色又淺啊/只要一點點睫毛膏，你就會有女人味兒了?！?/p>
