[00:00:00] Chapter 1 第一 A Taste of Success 成功的体验 Carmen is a Hollywood actress. She's been working in front of a camera for most of her life, 卡门是好莱坞的一位女演员。她大部分时间都是在摄影机前度过的。 [00:00:11] but she still gets the jitters right before the lights come on.

[00:00:13] 尽管如此，每当水银灯亮起来时，她仍会感到紧张。 [00:00:16] Helen is a novice to the Hollywood scene and has just be friended Carmen.

[00:00:19] 海伦是好莱坞银屏的新人，她刚刚和卡门交上朋友。 [00:00:22] Carmen:Now where did I put my sunglasses?

[00:00:23] 卡门：我的太阳镜放在哪儿了？ [00:00:24] Helen:Over there, right under your nose.

[00:00:25] 海伦：在那儿，就在你的鼻子底下。 [00:00:26] Carmen:Right. I just get so nervous before one of these things.

[00:00:28] 卡门：噢，在这些事情面前我很紧张。 [00:00:30] Helen:Carmen, I thought you had gotten over your stage fright years ago.

[00:00:33] 海伦：卡门，我原认为很多年以前你就已经不再怯场了。 [00:00:35] Carmen:No. I regress to my childhood years every time I'm shooting a film.

[00:00:37] 卡门：不，我回想起小时候拍电影时， Right before I go on camera, I tense up. It's like I never got over my fear of being laughed at. [00:00:43] 每当我要站在镜头前我就会紧张起来。看来我永远不能克服被喝倒彩的恐惧。

[00:00:46] Helen:Really? Who would have guessed? [00:00:47] 海伦：噢，谁想得到呢？

[00:00:49] Carmen:I know. Everyone thinks that once you've had a state of success you're invulnerable. [00:00:51] 卡门：我知道。人人都认为只要你尝过成功的滋味你就会变得很坚强。
