Hi, I'm Emma Thompson and I'm about to spill all the tea on Audible's new original, Becoming Meg Dashwood. So, let's start by pouring some tea. See, I can do that without even looking at it. It's so natural to me.
大家好...

大家好，我是艾玛·汤普森，接下来要为大家揭秘Audible全新原创作品《成为梅格·达什伍德》的幕后故事。那么，先倒杯茶吧。瞧，我都不用看就能倒好。这对我来说再自然不过了。
So, here we are with a barely visible advert for Audible. Just doing that very slowly so we get that on camera.
现在我们看到的是Audible的隐形广告。动作放慢些，确保镜头捕捉到。
So, first question. How would you describe this version of Meg in just three words?
第一个问题：用三个词形容这部作品里的梅格？
Reckless, roaring heroine.
鲁莽，歇斯底里的女主角。
Meg is often overlooked in the original Sense and Sensibility. What does this story allow us to explore that the original Austin novel couldn't?
梅格在《理智与情感》得原著里语境与情感表达中常被忽视，在这部作品能让我们探索到奥斯汀原著未能展现的哪些内容？
First of all, she's not really present in the original book because she just isn't. It's not about her and Austin wasn't very interested in her. This story explores all sorts of things that I don't think would have occurred necessarily to to Austin, including um feminism, female suffrage, being a lesbian. So yeah, I guess that's what it allows us to explore, everything that Jane Austin couldn't. 
首先，她并未真正出现在原著中，因为故事本身并不围绕她展开。奥斯汀对她的兴趣也微乎其微。这个故事探讨了诸多奥斯汀可能从未想到的话题，比如女权主义、女性选举权、女同性恋身份等。可以说，这正是它让我们得以探索的领域——那些简·奥斯汀本人未曾触及的领域。
How did it feel to reimagine a Regency era world through a queer and feminist lens?
以女同和女权主义的视角重新构想摄政时期的世界，这种体验是怎样的？
There haven't been many stories about Regency era lesbians. Obviously, it's because those stories haven't been told, haven't been written because they had to be hidden because it was not only outlawed but probably viewed as monstrous, unnatural as all forms of other kinds of sexuality were viewed in that time.
关于摄政时期女同性恋的故事鲜见记载。这些故事之所以未被书写或传颂，究其原因是当时社会不仅明令禁止，更将她们视为异类——正如那个时代对其他性取向的普遍偏见，她们被视作畸形且违背自然的存在。
So, we are taken on a real journey into the underbelly certainly of life which Austin avoided always. She never went into the the alleys and the the the the hidden tributaries of life because that was not her interest. She was very interested anyway in what was happening around her. I mean her genius for observation um is what makes her novel so so extraordinary. Yeah, it's a really good question actually.
因此我们得以深入探索奥斯汀始终回避的生活阴暗面。她从未涉足那些隐秘的巷弄与生活的支流，因为那并非她得兴趣所在。她真正关心的是周遭发生的一切，她对事物的敏锐洞察天赋造就了她小说的非凡魅力。嗯，这确实是个极好的问题。
The relationship between sisters is central in Austin's work. That's true, of course, because her relationship with her own sister, Cassandra, was so so intense and deep. How does that sisterhood evolve in this version?
姐妹关系在奥斯汀作品中占据核心地位。确实如此，因为她与亲妹卡桑德拉的情感纽带极其紧密深厚。那么姐妹情谊在这部改编作品中如何演变？
Well, it's very wonderful in this version, because what Rebecca Humphrey has done is she's taken Margaret, and given her the eyes of a young woman questioning everything. She's looking at her sisters and wondering why they do what they do. Wondering why Marianne, having fallen in love with Willoughby, settles for Colonel Brandon, who she doesn't love in the same way. She doesn't understand that.
这个版本的改编得非常精彩。丽贝卡·汉弗莱将玛格丽特塑造成一位充满质疑的年轻女性，她审视着姐妹们的行为，追问她们为何如此行事。她不解玛丽安为何在爱上威洛比后，却甘愿与自己并不对等的布兰登上校妥协。
She thinks Eleanor is deeply repressed and doesn't know how to access her feelings. And what are her feelings? She's got no idea. She loves them deeply and she loves her mother deeply, but she doesn't want to go down any of those routes. She's estranged essentially from the family by her own feelings, by her own desires, and by her need to rebel against the laws and the constraints that she sees as deforming. You know, that's something that you can tell stories about every day, is it not?
她认为埃莉诺深陷情感压抑，始终无法触及内心的真实感受。而她自己又如何？她完全无从知晓。她深爱着母亲，也爱着家人，却不愿在情感上做出任何妥协。正是这些矛盾，让她与家族渐行渐远——既因内心渴望，也因反抗那些扭曲人性的法律与束缚，这不正是我们日常生活中常能见到的真实写照吗？
So, how did the audio format shape your performance?
那么，有声书形式对你的表演有什么影响呢？
Well, I didn't have to sit in makeup and hair from 5:00 a.m. in the morning every day, which was, "Let me tell you, bliss."
嗯，我不用每天清晨五点就坐在化妆间里，这简直是“天赐的幸福”。
If Jane Austin could hear this version of Meg's story, what do you think she'd say?
如果简·奥斯汀能听到这个版本的梅格故事，你觉得她会说什么？
I might have to have a sip of tea before I answer that. I think she'd probably ask for a a stiff drink. I think she'd say, "Thank you for making her so much more interesting than she is in my book."
我得先喝口茶再回答。她大概会要杯烈酒，然后说：“谢谢你把她塑造得比我书里有趣多了。”
