艾瑪·沃特森擁有多重身份。她是英國女演員、模特、超級(jí)學(xué)霸、社會(huì)活動(dòng)家。

Early Life

Emma Watson was born on April 15， 1990， in Paris， France. Her parents are both British lawyers. When Watson was 5， she moved back to Oxfordshire（牛津郡）in England with her mother and brother. Watson grew up on camera at the age of 9 as one of Harry Potters best friends， Hermione Granger， throughout the entire3 film series. Watson attended the Stagecoach Theatre Arts School at Oxford. She studied singing， acting and dancing， and performed in school plays.

She spent 11 of her childhood years filming Harry Potter. She worked at least 12 hours per day and had to be at work before 6：30 in the morning. For the role of Hermione， she even kept the same haircut for nearly a decade4. While other peoples childhoods belong to themselves， Watsons belongs to Hermione.

Actress Career

Watson had never acted professionally5 when her theater teachers suggested an audition6 for an upcoming7 movie based on the first novel of the best-selling Harry Potter series. A 9-year-old Watson auditioned eight times for the role that would make her an international star.

The British child actress would become known around the world for her roles as the young wizard8 fighting between good and evil9. Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone was released10 in November 2001. Watsons 11-year-old film debut11 was a huge success.

After committing12 to the Harry Potter series for a decade， Watson has transformed13 into a popular adult model and actress， in the popular films The Perks of Being a Wallflower， My Week with Marilyn and Beauty and the Beast. Though Watsons been closely connected with her Harry Potter character， as a young actress， she wanted to be seen as more.

Despite her young age， Watson has become very popular， and her career in the movie industry has developed quite rapidly. During her relatively short career， she won 25 awards and was nominated14 35 times.

Education

Though Watson spent her earlier years on film sets， she kept up with her lessons， with five hours of tutoring15 each day. She took all high school exams， and achieved high scores in every subject. Watson took a year off from school to film the final two Harry Potter movies， but she was committed to furthering her education. With commitment to her education， Watson enrolled1 6 at Brown University， Rhode Island in the fall of 2009. Brown is one of the oldest universities in the USA， which is a part of the system of the best educational establishments in the United States， so-called Ivy League. Watsons focus was the study of history， philosophy， and English literature.

Watson said she chose an American university over a British education because the American system allows students to study many subjects at once1 7. Brown was also a place， Watson said， where she could more easily blend in1 8. “I want to be normal，” she said， “I really want anonymity1 9.”

Social Activies

Watson actively fights for womens rights. Watson had visited Bangladesh and Zambia to promote2 0 the education of girls in these countries.

In June 2014， Watson became a Goodwill Ambassador（大使）for UN Women. In fact， this honor started its work in January 2011 and was created to fight discrimination（歧視） against women in twelve major areas of modern life such as education， health， employment， human rights and others.

童年生活

1990年4月15日，艾瑪·沃特森出生于法國巴黎。她的父母都是英國的律師。5歲那年，沃特森隨母親和弟弟搬到英國的牛津郡生活。9歲時(shí)她被選中出演哈利·波特最好的朋友之一——赫敏·格蘭杰，并陸續(xù)拍攝了《哈利·波特》系列影片。沃特森曾就讀于坐落在英國牛津的驛馬藝術(shù)學(xué)校。她學(xué)習(xí)唱歌、表演、舞蹈，參加學(xué)校組織的戲劇表演。

在拍攝系列電影《哈利·波特》的11年里，她一天工作12個(gè)小時(shí)，每天早上6點(diǎn)半之前就開始工作。她甚至因?yàn)槌鲅莺彰粢唤?，?0年都沒有改變過發(fā)型。別人的童年和少女時(shí)代屬于自己，艾瑪卻屬于赫敏。

演藝生涯

當(dāng)沃特森的戲劇老師建議她參加《哈利·波特》系列電影的角色選拔時(shí)，她還從未參與過任何專業(yè)的演出。這部當(dāng)時(shí)即將上映的電影，是基于銷售之冠——《哈利·波特》系列中第一本小說改編而來的。9歲的沃特森經(jīng)歷8次試鏡之后，終于贏得這個(gè)使她成為國際巨星的角色。

這位英國童星在影片中飾演為正義而戰(zhàn)的年輕巫師，并因此享譽(yù)世界。 2001年，沃特森的銀幕處女作《哈利·波特與魔法石》上映，獲得巨大成功，這年她11歲。

在《哈利·波特》系列電影中活躍10年之后，沃特森成功轉(zhuǎn)型為一名頗受歡迎的模特和演員。她參演了一系列流行電影，比如《壁花少年》《我與夢(mèng)露的一周》《美女與野獸》。雖然人們依舊把沃特森和《哈利·波特》中的角色聯(lián)系在一起，但這位年輕女演員一直在嘗試不同的角色，希望被更多的人看到。

盡管還很年輕，沃特森已頗具名氣，她的電影事業(yè)發(fā)展迅速。在相對(duì)短暫的演藝生涯里，她就獲得了25項(xiàng)大獎(jiǎng)、35次提名。

超級(jí)“學(xué)霸”

盡管沃特森的青少年時(shí)代都奉獻(xiàn)給了電影舞臺(tái)，但她從未放松自己的學(xué)業(yè)。每天上至少5個(gè)小時(shí)的輔導(dǎo)課，她還參加了高中階段所有的考試，每門功課都獲得高分。為了拍攝《哈利·波特》最后兩部電影，沃特森曾休學(xué)1年，但她最終堅(jiān)持完成了學(xué)業(yè)，并于2009年秋天成功考入美國的頂尖名校——位于羅德島州的布朗大學(xué)。這所大學(xué)是美國歷史最悠久的學(xué)校之一，也是常春藤（美國最著名的教育體系聯(lián)盟）名校之一。沃特森主要的學(xué)習(xí)方向是歷史、哲學(xué)和英國文學(xué)。

沃特森說，她選擇在美國讀大學(xué)，是因?yàn)槊绹慕逃到y(tǒng)允許學(xué)生同時(shí)修讀多門課程。她還提到 ：“我想成為一名普通人。我真的很想隱姓埋名?！倍祭蚀髮W(xué)能給她提供這樣的平臺(tái)，讓她以普通人的身份輕松融入進(jìn)去。

社交活動(dòng)

沃特森一直為爭(zhēng)取女性權(quán)利而戰(zhàn)。她曾到訪孟加拉國、贊比亞等國家，幫助改善當(dāng)?shù)嘏⒌氖芙逃闆r。

2014年6月，沃特森當(dāng)選為“聯(lián)合國婦女親善大使”。事實(shí)上，這項(xiàng)殊榮從2011年1月就已發(fā)揮作用，旨在反對(duì)女性在當(dāng)今社會(huì)12個(gè)重要領(lǐng)域上遭受的不公平待遇，比如教育、健康、就業(yè)、人權(quán)等。
