艾玛·沃特森(Emma Watson, 1990~),英国女演员,出生于法国巴黎,九岁时被选中在电影《哈利·波特》中饰演赫敏·格兰杰,一举成名。接下来的十年间,艾玛陆续拍摄了八部《哈利·波特》系列影片。2011年,艾玛·沃特森获得第13届青少年选择奖最佳科幻电影女演员和最佳夏日电影女星。事业如日中天时,艾玛却选择进入大学深造,并以优异成绩毕业。此后她除了继续发展演艺事业,还成为联合国的亲善大使,成为闻名全球的青少年偶像。

Emma Watson entered our lives as the perfect Hermione Granger in 2001, and 14 years later, we're just as much in love with this charming, intelligent Brit, as ever. You may or may not be a Potter head1), but there's nobody on this planet (no, we're not exaggerating) who is not charmed by the perfection that is Emma Watson.

Despite achieving stardom at the young age of 11, she's never gone the Hollywood spoiled child route. In fact, she made all attempts to stay as "normal" as possible. She said, "Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn't advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn't wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a coed2) dorm. Looking back, that was crazy."

She also works really hard. She said, "I was very well educated. My dad paid for me to go to a very good school but, you know, when my parents divorced, we didn't have any money for a while. And so I worked hard every single day that I was at that school to make him proud of me and for him to know that I appreciated it. And I do, and I still do."

If we had to imagine what Hermione Granger would have grown up to be like, we would say she'd be the Emma Watson of the wizarding world because there really is no way to separate the two. Much like her famous Type A3) on screen persona4), in the last few years, Emma has added more feathers to her cap5) than we imagined being humanly possible. Actor, scholar, model, UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. In her role of the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, she's supported powerful causes to the best of her ability and brought them all the attention they deserve.

We might never know where Hermione Granger ends and Emma Watson begins. She gave us the most accurate description of our favourite girl from the Potter universe. "Young girls are told you have to be a delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be a warrior."

2001年,艾玛·沃特森以完美的赫敏·格兰杰的形象走进了我们的生活,14年后(编注:英文原文发表于2015年),我们对这个迷人而聪慧的英国女孩依然爱之如故。无论你是不是哈利·波特迷,这个世界上没有一个人(不,我们并不是在夸大其词)不为艾玛·沃特森这个完美的女孩着迷。

尽管年仅11岁就成了明星,她并未走上好莱坞被惯坏了的小孩的道路。事实上,她尽一切努力使自己尽可能保持“普通”。她曾说:“无视名气就是我表达叛逆的有趣方式。我坚持当个普通人,做普通的事。去美国上大学,还和一个完全不认识的人当室友,这或许并不可取。在男女混合宿舍跟另外八个人共用一间浴室或许也不明智。如今回过头去看,当时的做法真是疯狂。”

她还格外努力。她说:“我从小受到很好的教育。爸爸出钱供我读一所非常好的学校,可是,你知道的,当我的父母离婚后,有一段时间我们没有钱。因此,在那所学校的每一天我都非常努力,为的是让他为我骄傲,让他知道我很感激他。我现在也很努力,仍然在努力。”

如果非要让我们想象赫敏·格兰杰长大后会是什么样,我们会说她会成为魔法世界里的艾玛·沃特森,因为实在无法把她们两人分割开。与她在银幕上塑造的那个众所周知的A型人格的角色很相似,在过去的几年中,艾玛所取得的引以为豪的成就比我们所能想象的还要多,非常人所及。她是演员、学者、模特,还是联合国妇女亲善大使。在联合国妇女亲善大使的岗位上,她竭尽所能支持那些有影响力的运动,为它们争取到应有的关注。

我们或许永远也无法将赫敏·格兰杰和艾玛·沃特森截然分开。对于哈利·波特世界中我们最喜欢的这个女孩,她给了我们最准确的描述,“人们告诉年轻女孩,你们要做娇贵的公主。而赫敏却教她们:你可以成为战士。”
