Born in Jerusalem， the holy land of Christianity， Natalie Portman seems to be a girl blessed1 by god.

出生于耶路撒冷這個(gè)基督教的圣地，娜塔麗·波特曼似乎是個(gè)被上帝祝福的女孩。

There is no question that Natalie has always been a lucky girl. When she was only 13 years old， she defeated2 thousands of children and got the chance to act in Leon. In the following years， Natalie was also picked to take part in some movies as the leading actress， which won a great fame for her. Everything was so smooth3. It seemed that Natalie could enjoy her rest life， just relying on her beauty and luck.

毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，娜塔麗一直是個(gè)幸運(yùn)的女孩。當(dāng)她只有13歲時(shí)，她就打敗了數(shù)以千計(jì)的孩子，得到了參演《殺手萊昂》的機(jī)會(huì)。隨后的幾年中，娜塔麗又被選中出演幾部電影的女主角，這使她聲名大噪。一切都如此順利，娜塔麗似乎只需要依靠她的美貌與幸運(yùn)，就能舒舒服服過(guò)完一生。

However， Natalie was not a blind girl. She knew she had to improve herself instead of taking things as they are. And she did it. She started learning ballet at 4； she tried lots of forms of acting； she graduated from Harvard University， the best university in the world； she studied in terrorism4 after acting in V For Vendetta， and gave reports about it in Columbia University.

然而，娜塔麗不是個(gè)盲目的女孩。她深知必須不斷提升自己，而不是止步不前。而她也確實(shí)做到了。她四歲起學(xué)習(xí)芭蕾；她嘗試各種表演形式；她從全世界最好的大學(xué)——哈佛大學(xué)畢業(yè)；演完《V字仇殺隊(duì)》后，她著力于研究恐怖主義，并以此主題給哥倫比亞大學(xué)的學(xué)生做報(bào)告。

What Natalie learned really helped her was when she received the invitation to act in Black Swan. The heroine5 of the movie， Nina， is a ballet dancer and she spends most of time on practice. A new play， The Swan Lake needs two swan princesses， a white one and a black one. Nina was so hungry to get the chance to perform in it， so she created another herself in her brain. That meant Natalie had to show two kinds of characters， which were totally opposite. Besides， this role calls for superb dancing. It may be difficult for other actresses， but not for Natalie. She couldnt be more familiar with ballet. What s more， majored in psychology6， Natalie could understand the characters deeper and control her performance better.

當(dāng)娜塔麗接到主演《黑天鵝》的邀請(qǐng)時(shí)，她所學(xué)的那些東西真真正正地幫了她大忙。這部電影的女主人公尼娜是一個(gè)芭蕾舞演員，每天花大量時(shí)間練習(xí)舞蹈。在一個(gè)新編的芭蕾舞劇《天鵝湖》中，需要一黑一白兩個(gè)天鵝公主。尼娜十分渴望這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，于是在腦中臆想出來(lái)另一個(gè)自己。這樣的劇情安排意味著娜塔麗必須表現(xiàn)出兩種迥然對(duì)立的性格。更重要的是，這個(gè)角色要求女主角有深厚的舞蹈功底。這對(duì)于其他女演員來(lái)說(shuō)也許十分困難，但于娜塔麗則輕而易舉了。她對(duì)芭蕾舞再熟悉不過(guò)了，再加上她大學(xué)主修心理學(xué)，娜塔麗能夠更深層次地理解角色，并更好地控制自己的表演。

With this movie， Natalie won the Oscar Award for best actress. Meanwhile， she also met her Mr. Right， Benjamin Millepied. You see， nothing could be that easy， even Natalies success was built on her diligence7. Apart from Natalies success， her devotion on protecting environment also has to be mentioned. She is a vegetarian， opposing8 animal fur and suggesting man-made materials. She even established9 her own brand， The Natalie Portman Collection， to encourage people to protect nature.

借由此片，娜塔麗獲得了奧斯卡最佳女主角獎(jiǎng)，同時(shí)，她也因此片而結(jié)緣了她的真命天子——本杰明·米派德。由此看來(lái)，世上沒(méi)有什么容易的事，即使是娜塔麗的成功也是建立在她勤奮好學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)上的。除卻她的成功，更值得一提的是她為環(huán)保做出的貢獻(xiàn)。娜塔麗是個(gè)素食主義者，她抵制使用動(dòng)物毛皮，倡導(dǎo)使用人造材料。她甚至創(chuàng)立了自己的品牌“The Natalie Portman Collection”，鼓勵(lì)人們保護(hù)大自然。

Natalie has always been regarded as the second Audrey Hepburn till now. People like her， not only because of her perfect performance and beautiful face， but also due to her innocence and kindness. Many years ago， Audrey Hepburn was the walking angel in our eyes. She devoted herself to helping poor sick children. Today， as a public person， Natalie experiences also pass on the positive message that we should protect the earth. There are many prettier girls， but not many could be as modest10 as her， as kind as her，

一直以來(lái)娜塔麗都被譽(yù)為“第二個(gè)奧黛麗·赫本”。人們喜歡她不僅因?yàn)樗恋哪樀昂途康难菁?，更是因?yàn)樗募冋媾c善良。多年前，奧黛麗·赫本曾畢生致力于幫助窮困潦倒的孩子，我們?cè)曀秊椤靶凶咴诜查g的天使”。如今，作為一個(gè)公眾人物的娜塔麗也用行動(dòng)傳遞著保護(hù)環(huán)境的正能量。比她美麗的姑娘有許多，但鮮有像她這般謙遜好學(xué)，心地善良的。

Born in Jerusalem， Natalie is like a messenger of god. She sends the inspiration11 and all bright things. A complete human， a successful woman， a shining goddess， thats her， Natalie Portman， a real Jerusalem goddess.

娜塔麗出生在耶路撒冷這座圣城，似乎就是上帝派來(lái)的使者。她傳遞著鼓舞人心的能量以及一切光明美好的事物。一個(gè)完整的人，一位成功的女性，一個(gè)閃耀的女神，這就是她，娜塔麗·波特曼 ，一位真正的來(lái)自耶路撒冷女神。
