Oscar winning actor & writer Tom Hanks gives the Oxford Union an acting lesson

章节 1：汤姆·汉克斯的表演课：抛开自我意识，说出真实

📝 本节摘要：

汤姆·汉克斯在牛津辩论社为全场观众上了一堂表演课。他引用斯宾塞·屈塞的话，指出演员必须放下自我意识，“站到位，说真话”，每一种情绪都要在当下真实地再现，而不是伪装出来。随后他带领观众做“重复练习”，反复念台词“Is there something I can do for you”：先以本色念，再设定情境：心情愉快地去赴约时，遇见一位摔倒的老人。最后他又把情境换成市政厅咨询台的工作人员。

[原文] [Tom Hanks]: There are no small parts, there are only small actors. Thank you. All right. Wow. Well, thank you, thank you. All right, okay, all right. The way in, what you have to get over in order to do what I do for a living, and a handful of other people in this room also do for a living, is you have to get past any sense of self-consciousness. You cannot care what you look like or what you sound like. You cannot care if you are sounding ar— but you, you cannot be artificial. You can only get up, hit the marks and tell the truth, no matter what the line is, no matter what the circumstance is, no matter what the emotion is, that you must not fake but recreate at that individual moment. Spencer Tracy said you have to hit the marks and tell the truth. That is a very

[译文] [Tom Hanks]: 没有小角色，只有小演员。谢谢。好了。哇。好，谢谢，谢谢大家。好，好的，好。要入门，要做我赖以为生的这份工作（在座也有几位是靠这个吃饭的），你必须跨过的一道坎，就是摆脱一切自我意识。你不能在意自己看起来怎么样、听起来怎么样。你不能在意自己听起来是不是……但你，你绝不能装腔作势。你唯一能做的，就是站起来，站到位，说真话。不管台词是什么，不管情境是什么，不管情绪是什么，你都不能假装，而要在那个当下把它重新创造出来。斯宾塞·屈塞（Spencer Tracy）说过，你要站到位，说真话。这是一件非常

[原文] [Tom Hanks]: hard thing to do naturally. So we are all going to take part in an acting class tonight, every single one of you. All right, this first, this first and probably most precious exercise is called repetitions. If you take an acting class, which in all honesty I never did, but if you take an acting class, one of the ways you break down self-consciousness, which is your own concept of what you look like and how you sound, you do this, this, this little exercise called repetitions. I'm going to give you a line. It's a very simple line. And what you have to do, and we're going to do it out loud so everybody can get past any of that, no one's going to be called on the carpet, but everybody does have to participate, otherwise I'll… you, you have to say these words: "Is there something I

[译文] [Tom Hanks]: 难自然做到的事。所以今晚我们所有人都要上一堂表演课，在座每一位都要参加。好，第一个练习，第一个、大概也是最珍贵的练习，叫做“重复练习”。如果你去上表演课——说实话我从来没上过——但如果你去上表演课，打破自我意识（也就是你对自己长相和声音的那份在意）的方法之一，就是做这个，这个，这个叫“重复练习”的小练习。我会给你们一句台词，非常简单的一句。你们要做的是——我们要大声念出来，好让每个人都能放下那些顾虑，没人会被点名批评，但每个人都必须参与，不然我就……你们，你们要说这几个字：“有什么

[原文] [Tom Hanks]: can do for you?" But you can't just say the words. You have to wring out every possible meaning, every possible cadence, every possible variation of that line of dialogue: "Is there something I can do for you?" In a repetitions class, you would have to stand in front of everybody else in the class and keep saying it again and again and again in a different form, and you only lose your chance to do that when you repeat yourself. All right, so the line is "Is there something I can do for you?" And we are all going to now say that as many different ways as we can. All right, you're just you. You're nobody else, you're just who you are. Okay, the line once again is "Is there something I can do for you?" All ready? Ready, let's begin. In three, two, one. "Is there something I can do

[译文] [Tom Hanks]: 我能为你做的吗？”但你不能光把字念出来。你得把这句台词所有可能的含义、所有可能的语调节奏、所有可能的变化都榨出来：“有什么我能为你做的吗？”在重复练习课上，你得站在全班同学面前，一遍又一遍地用不同的方式说这句话，只有当你重复了自己之前的说法，才会失去继续的机会。好，台词就是：“有什么我能为你做的吗？”现在我们所有人要用尽可能多的方式把它说出来。好，你就是你自己，不是别人，你就是你本来的样子。好，台词再说一遍：“有什么我能为你做的吗？”都准备好了吗？准备，开始。三、二、一。“有什么我能为你做的

[原文] [Tom Hanks]: All right, fine. So you know the words, and you've already experienced them. Okay, now I'm going to give you the circumstance. You are you, all right? You are having a magnificent day. You're going to go off and you're going to have a cup of coffee with someone that you have a great crush on, and you believe that person has a great crush on you. You're at the beginning of a marvelous relationship with someone who you think is going to perhaps give you, if not a lifetime of happiness, a few weeks or a few months. All right, you're done with your work for the day. You don't have any… you get to sleep in late tomorrow. It's going to be a lovely, lovely evening, and you are going to go and have a delightful exchange with someone you're looking forward to. But up in front of you, an

[译文] [Tom Hanks]: 好，不错。你们已经知道台词了，也已经体验过了。好，现在我给你们设定一个情境。你就是你自己，好吗？你今天过得棒极了。你正要去跟一个你特别心动的人喝杯咖啡，而且你觉得对方也特别喜欢你。你们正处在一段美妙关系的开端，你觉得这个人也许能带给你——就算不是一辈子的幸福，也有几周或几个月的快乐。好，你今天的工作都做完了，你没有任何……明天还能睡个懒觉。这将是一个美好、美好的夜晚，你要去和一个你满心期待的人愉快地相处。可就在你前面，一位

[原文] [Tom Hanks]: elderly person carrying a package has tripped and fallen down onto their knees. All right, what do you say at that moment? "Is there something I can do for you?" Okay, ready? So, all right, now, now, okay, all right. You have, we have the circumstance: it's icy, it's cold, and someone who looks like your grand… one of your grandparents, or an elderly neighbor, has fallen down and landed on one knee, and you say… in three, two, one. Let's try it again. Ready? Three, two, one. All right, let's try one more, and it must be different from what you just did. Okay, ready? One… three, two, one. "…do for you?" Okay, very good, and cut. Excellent. Well, all right. Now, the same exact words, "Is there something I can do for you?", except now you are a civic employee. You work in an information booth at City Hall. All you do all day

[译文] [Tom Hanks]: 拿着包裹的老人绊了一跤，跪倒在地。好，那一刻你会说什么？“有什么我能为你做的吗？”好，准备好了吗？那么，好，现在，现在，好的，好。你们有了，我们有了情境：路上结着冰，天很冷，一个看起来像你的祖……像你祖父母之一，或者像你某位年长邻居的人摔倒了，一条腿跪在地上，然后你说……三、二、一。我们再来一次。准备？三、二、一。好，再来最后一次，而且必须和刚才说的不一样。好，准备？一……三、二、一。“……为你做的吗？”好，非常好，咔！太棒了。好，那么。现在还是一模一样的台词，“有什么我能为你做的吗？”只不过现在你是一名市政职员，在市政厅的咨询台工作。你一整天做的事
