s Renee explaining why she wanted to play the part of Beatrix Potter. Insert Because she'
s absolutely fascinating and her story is so rich: her life, you know, her experiences, her achievements, what she contributed to English history, not just to English culture. It just fascinates me. Neil: Absolutely fascinating. Jean: Absolutely fascinating C 绝对的引人入胜. Fascinating 已经是一个有力的 形容词,如果要想再加强它的意思就要用 absolutely, 而不是 very. 英语里一 般用 very 来修饰一些意思不是特别强烈的形容词,比如 interesting C very interesting. 不过我们也要注意的是, absolutely 一般只适合修饰有力的,意 思强劲的形容词,用到其它词上就不合适了, absolutely interesting 听起来 就不对了. Neil: On BBC Learning English today we'
ve been hearing from the American actress Renee Zellweger. Jean: She'
s best known for portraying the character Bridget Jones, but now she'
s playing another famous Englishwoman, Beatrix Potter. Neil: But her greatest success came in a film called Cold Mountain, about relationships during the American Civil War. She won an Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress. Jean: 她靠着在描写美国内战时期的一部爱情片 Cold Mountain 《冷山》当中的女配 角赢得了奥斯卡金像奖. She must have been so pleased to get the award. Neil: Well, she was, but she thinks her experience of making the film is more important to her than the Oscar. Insert The reward is getting to live it: the friendships, the memories, I mean think about the experience. It was a nice night, but that was a life experience and I'
ll never forget that. I mean that was six months of living in a place that I would never have had occasion to visit C so many things that I would never have seen. Neil: She thinks that the Oscar ceremony was a nice night, but making the film was a life experience. Jean: 人生中一段重要的经历 C a life experience. Neil: It was a life experience because of the friendships she made and the good memories she has. Jean: She says she lived in a place she would never have visited, for six months. Neil: Yeah, the film was about America, but it was actually filmed in Romania in south-east Europe. Jean: 这是一部发生在美国的故事,而影片其实是在欧洲东南部的罗马尼亚拍摄的. Neil: And she saw things she would never have seen if she hadn'
t gone to Romania. Here'
s Renee again. Insert The reward is getting to live it: the friendships, the memories, I mean think about the experience. It was a nice night, but that was a life experience and I'
ll never forget that. I mean that was six months of living in a place that I would never have had occasion to visit C so many things that I would never have seen. Jean: It seems to me that Renee Zellweger'
s got almost the perfect life. Neil: You mean she'
s a rich, famous and successful Hollywood film star? Jean: Sounds good to me. Neil: But is there anything that she doesn'
t like about her life? Jean: Here'
s Renee. Insert It'
s very uncomfortable for people to have to put up with the circus that revolves around you sometimes and I'
m just not good at it - I'
m just not good at it and I'
m coming to accept that certain things will just never sit well with me. Neil: Oh no, she says it'
s like a circus surrounding her sometimes. Jean: 在英语里, circus 这个词原意是马戏团的意思,不过现在也被用来形容围绕一 场事件或者一位名人的媒体喧杂. Neil: And it makes her and people around her feel very uncomfortable. Jean: She says she'
