Standing up for us
好萊塢00后演技派“小十一”為同齡人發聲
Two years ago, at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts tea party in Los Angeles, Millie Bobby Brown was a charming darling. Whenever she met someone, she would extend her hand and say, "Hi! I'm Millie Bobby Brown. So glad to meet you!"
兩年前，英國電影和電視藝術學院在洛杉磯舉辦了一場茶話會。這次派對上的米莉·博比·布朗簡直是個迷人的甜心。不論遇到誰，她都會握手致意：“你好！我是米莉·博比·布朗。很高興遇見你！”
Best known for starring as Eleven, a young girl with psychokinetic abilities, in the hit sci-fi TV series Stranger Things, Brown is “an icon for her generation”, as W magazine put it.
布朗最為知名的角色是熱門科幻劇集《怪奇物語》中擁有超能力的小女孩小十一，正如《W》雜志所言，布朗是“她那一代人的代表人物”。
To play Eleven, Brown had to cut off her long hair and shave her head, which is something that would be quite difficult for any teenager. But the British actress did it without a second thought. This is perhaps what sets her apart from fellow child stars. "On the one hand, it was cool. When you're bald, rain feels like a head massage. I'd walk in the rain, and people would look at me like I was crazy," she told W. "But on the other hand, people stared at me, wondering whether I was sick. Some would even laugh at me, without knowing whether I was or wasn't sick."
為了出演“小十一”一角，布朗剪掉了長發，剃了光頭，這對任何一個少年而言都絕非易事。但這位英國女演員卻毫不猶豫地這么做了。這或許正是她有別于其他童星之處。“從一方面來說，這很酷。下雨時雨點打在光頭上就像是在給頭皮做按摩。我會在雨中漫步，人們都看著我，覺得我瘋了，”她在接受《W》雜志采訪時表示。“但另一方面，人們也會盯著我看，想知道我是不是生病了。一些人在不知道我是否生病的情況下，甚至還會嘲笑我。”
These people certainly hurt Brown's feelings, but they also taught her something about compassion. "In the end, being bald was the best thing I ever did – being different changed my life. I wanted to embrace my baldness and, hopefully, inspire people," she said.
這些人無疑傷害了布朗，但他們也教會了她同情心。“最終，剃光頭成了我干過的最棒的一件事 —— 與眾不同改變了我的人生。我想欣然接受這個發型，并且希望激勵他人，”她說道。
Her bravery won her the honor of the youngest UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador last month.
她的這種勇氣讓她上個月成為了聯合國兒童基金會最年輕的親善大使。
"It's a huge honor to become UNICEF's newest and youngest ever Goodwill Ambassador," the 14-year-old, who has supported the children's charity since 2016, wrote on social media platform Instagram. "I am looking forward to meeting as many children and young people as I can, hearing their stories, and speaking out on their behalf."
“成為聯合國兒童基金會最年輕的新任親善大使是莫大的榮譽，”今年14歲的她自2016年以來便一直支持著兒童慈善事業，她在社交媒體平臺Instagram上如此寫道。“我期待盡我所能見到更多的孩子和年輕人，聆聽他們的故事，為他們發聲。”
"Children are their own best advocates," Henrietta Fore, UNICEF's executive director said in an announcement. "I know that Millie will use her passion to defend the rights of vulnerable children and young people everywhere."
“孩子是他們自己最佳的倡導者，”聯合國兒童基金會執行主任亨麗埃塔·福爾在一份聲明中表示。“我知道米莉會用她的熱情來維護全球各地脆弱的兒童和年輕人，保護他們的權益不受損害。”
