So whether you knew him personally or just as Finn Hudson, Cory reached out and he became a part of all of our hearts, and that's where he'll stay for ever. So thank you guys so much. Thank you."
The new bag, a graphic design in shape of a W, with its bold lines and innovative combination of materials, represents a fresh vision of the iconic Monogram. The enchanting beauty of Michelle Williams, who wears the sensual lace slips and mannish coats of Marc Jacobs’ Fall/Winter 2013 collection for Louis Vuitton, is revealed by Peter Lindbergh’s sensitive and striking portraits.
The actress was singled out by Louis Vuitton for the independent spirit with which she has forged her path through the Hollywood star system, defining herself by her outstanding talent, her passion for her craft, and her choice of daring and challenging roles. From Ang Lee’s Oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain (2005), Michelle Williams went on to give critically acclaimed performances, as it was the case with her role as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn, for which she earned a Golden Globe and her third Oscar nomination.
A timeless story, revolving around a friend of the House, a woman who embodies the unexpected through her personality and the care she takes in her choice of roles.
It's like falling in love. It’s … I fall in love with characters. It’s like falling in love in your life. You can't help it. You can't control it. You don't listen to what other people say. You just follow your heart. Everything else becomes kind of irrelevant （恋に落ちるようなものです。私は役に恋してしまうのです。実生活で恋に落ちるようなものです。どうにもできないのです。とめることはできません。他の人の言う事なんか耳に入らなくて、自分の思いに従うだけになります。その他のことは、どうでもよくなる感じです）
I don't really kind of mastermind it. I would hope to try to stay very present and open to whatever is moving me kind of in the moment. And generally that tends to be something that's challenging because if it’s not challenging then why do it. （計画を立て綿密に進めることはしません。その時に心を動かされたものに対して、その時の思いを大切にして、心を開くようにしたいと思っています。だいたい、それは困難なものになります。困難なものでなければ、やる価値がないでしょう）
My work on a movie starts, I mean, Marilyn started I started working on it a year before we started filming. These things require some .. they require your muscle memory. The more time you put into it, the more naturally it will come. （映画での私の仕事が始まるのは、マリリンモンローが始まったのは、撮影が始まる１年前に取り組み始めました。映画で必要になるのは、筋肉に覚えさせることが重要なのです。たくさんの時間を費やせば、より自然に出てくるようになります）
And ultimately the easier it'll make my job, the more free will make my job cuz my head won't be thinking, thinking, thinking so I like to take a lot of time to prepare. Maybe I'm just procrastinating now delaying. It's like … I don't know if somebody wants, can’t remember maybe I read it in a poem. And they said it's like jumping off a cliff in finding your wings on the way down. （そして最終的には、仕事が楽になり、もっと自由なものにしてくれます。心の中であれこれ考えることがなくなるようになるのです。ですから、準備にはたくさんの時間をかけたいのです。単に先延ばしに、遅らせているだけかもしれませんが。。誰かが望んでいることはわかりません。覚えていないのですが、詩にあったものを読んだと思うのですが。がけから飛び降りて、落下中に自分の翼を見つけるようなものなのです）

見切り発車というとかっこ悪いですが、jumping off a cliff in finding your wings on the way downなんて表現はかっこいいですね。まあ、試験の準備をしてこなかった時のかっこいい言い訳にも使えてしまいそうですが。。。
Bono’s daughter Eve Hewson will receive a degree from NYU at next week’s graduation ceremony, but the U2 frontman will not. We hear Bono politely turned down an offer to accept a graduate degree from the school, with sources telling us NYU also invited him to give the commencement speech at Yankee Stadium next Wednesday. A rep for Bono confirmed he was offered a degree, but not the speaking gig, explaining: “Bono was hugely honored to be asked by NYU to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. Given his daughter is part of the graduating class, they discussed the invitation as a family and decided they wanted to keep the day a quiet one for the family in which Bono could simply be a very proud father.” Power lawyer and NYU Law alum David Boies will give the commencement speech and accept the Doctor of Laws honorary degree. A rep for NYU told us: “The process NYU undergoes to select its commencement honorees is confidential.”
何気ない記事ですが、最初の部分を読むだけでも表現を学んでいけます。
Bono’s daughter Eve Hewson will receive a degree from NYU at next week’s graduation ceremony, but the U2 frontman will not. We hear Bono politely turned down an offer to accept a graduate degree from the school.
丁重に断るは、politely turned down an offerのようにpolitelyをつければいいのか、それにwill receive a degreeがbut以降ではwill notで終わっていたり、a degree from NYUがa graduate degree from the schoolと言い換えられているなといろいろ自分なりの気づきを見付けられるでしょう。
英語でのコミュニケーションの観点からも大いに参考にできます。A rep for Bonoとボノの代理の言葉が以下です
“Bono was hugely honored to be asked by NYU to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. Given his daughter is part of the graduating class, they discussed the invitation as a family and decided they wanted to keep the day a quiet one for the family in which Bono could simply be a very proud father.”
まず、was hugely honored と大変光栄であることを伝えて、申し出をしてくれた団体を立てていますよね。その後Given his daughter is part of the graduating classとGivenを使って状況説明をしています。Bono could simply be a very proud fatherなんて表現で断るのもスマートですよね。こういう話の組み立ては是非ともまねしていきたいです。

> Rose: Both of these things we've been talking about today, music on the one hand and some commitment to make a better world, do they feed each other?
>> If music played a role for me it's probably as a kid looking out my bathroom window and listening to music having bob dylan or john len then or bob marley whispering words of dissent and encouragement into my ear.
What I got from their music was a simple idea that the world outside the window was not fixed. And it was more malleable than every else is telling you. We're telling you that the world can be changed and that you must change, too.
And I got this from songs and I've tried to demonstrate it as -- a band. Sometimes people say, oh, you " I won't play that song. That's the only John Lennon song I don't like.
They'd say "what do you mean? " I'd say no, no, I don't like -- I loved so many things about john lennon, you know? He wrote the blueprint. But imagining wasn't one of them. I'm more of a doing, more of an actions, more of a building and dreaming to me is a thing of the '60s.
Doing is a thing that we have to be a part of now and our manager paul McGuinness who I love and adore used to say to me, look, just describing the problem is the duty of the artist. Don't feel you have to go and do something about them.
But I can't -- I'm just whatever way I'm wired I feel I always want to -- to get involved in the thing so when we were part of live aid all those years ago and I saw the stories of those people that live far away with such december pyre, everyday despair, myself and ali got up and moved there for, like, five weeks and that turned my life upside down and following my nose, following my curiosity to understand people better, understand the world better, understand myself better.
What I got from their music was a simple idea that the world outside the window was not fixed. And it was more malleable than every else is telling you.と音楽を通じて、世界は固定されたものではなく変えることができると教えられた。We're telling you that the world can be changed and that you must change, too.と世界だけでなく、自分を変えていくことも入っていますね。
また、ジョンレノンのイマジンに不満な点をあげれば行動がないこと。He wrote the blueprint. But imagining wasn't one of them. I'm more of a doing, more of an actions, more of a building and dreaming to me is a thing of the '60s.と言っています。このあたりは社会派ロック的な態度が出ていますね。
The Royal Shakespeare Company increased attendance by 30% with 0% toil and trouble. ロイヤル・シェイクスピア・カンパニーは、辛苦と勞苦もなく観客を30％増やしました。
アクセンチュアのロイヤル・シェイクスピア・カンパニーの支援事例として上記の表現が使われていました。まあ、ここでのtoil and troubleはシェイクスピアの有名な語を使うことで雰囲気を出すだけで、手間をかけずに導入できたことを伝えているだけでしょう。
ただ、恐らくこのtoil and trouble元ネタであろう『マクベス』の第四幕第一場の場面は結構印象的だったのでご紹介します。double / trouble / bubbleと音で遊んでいるのもいいですね。音の楽しさを伝えているものは河合先生の訳になるでしょうか。 Double, double toil and trouble Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
ACT IV SCENE I. A cavern. In the middle, a boiling cauldron. Thunder. Enter the three Witches First Witch Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd. 三度鳴いたよ、虎猫が。
Second Witch Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined. 四度鳴いたよ、針鼠。
Third Witch Harpier cries 'Tis time, 'tis time. 時間が来たぞと化け物鳥
First Witch Round about the cauldron go; In the poison'd entrails throw. Toad, that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty-one Swelter'd venom sleeping got, Boil thou first i' the charmed pot. 釜のまわりをぐるぐる回り、 毒の腸、放り込め、 まずはこれなるヒキガエル、 冷たい石の下に寝て ひと月かいた毒の汗、 魔法の釜で煮込みましょ。
ALL Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. 増やせ、不幸を、ぶつぶつぶつ。 燃やせ、猛毒、ぐつぐつぐつ。
