充满激情、魅力非凡的英国演员本尼迪克特康伯巴奇已成为才华横溢而又多产的男主角。 作者Tom Shone。

enedict Cumberbatch is talking a mile a minute, as he does when he’s anxious or happy or a combination of both, which he frequently is these days. Over lunch inSoho, the 37-year-old British actor is talking about the screening he attendedthe night before, a tough cut of The Fifth Estate, his film with director Boll Condon about WikeLeaks founder Julian Assange. It was the first time he’d seen it. A woman from Adelaide told Cumberbatch he got Assange’s Australian twang just right, “so I was psyched about that,” but he was upset to see himself slouch in one or two scenes.
当本尼迪克特康伯巴奇焦虑或是高兴或是二者并存时，他讲话会像列车飞驰一样，而这些日子他正好常常处于这种情绪中。在Soho区共进午餐时，这位37岁的演员谈起他头一晚观看电影第五阶层的粗剪版本的情况。这部他主演的关于维基解密创始人阿桑奇的电影由比尔康顿导演。一位来自阿德莱德（澳大利亚港口城市）的女士告诉康伯巴奇他模仿阿桑奇的澳大利亚鼻音非常到位，“所以对这点我很兴奋，”但是他对自己在一两幕戏中表现出的懒散感到非常烦恼。

“Somebody said to me the other day, ‘You’re an overnight success’—but it didn’t happen overnight.” says Cumberbatch, ordering beet-and-avocado salad. “Weirdly, when I was young I always wanted to be 32. I just thought it was the age when things wound get to that comfortable driving-seat position: a young father, careerthat was stable. That was the age I’ve always been romantic about. I think Iwas an old soul。 A teacher once compared me to William Blake, which was a little worrying; I never saw visions of angels in trees in graveyards by the side of the road.”
“某天有人对我说，‘你是一夜成名’——但实际上真的不是一夜之间发生的。”康伯巴奇边点甜菜和鳄梨沙拉边说道，“很怪的是，当我年轻的时候，我一直想长到32岁。我就是觉得这应该是生活中所有事情都各就各位了的一个阶段：年轻的父亲，事业稳定。那是让我一直抱有罗曼蒂克幻想的年龄。我想我有个古老的灵魂。一位老师曾经把我比作威廉·布莱克（译注：威廉·布莱克，英国第一位重要的浪漫主义诗人、版画家，虔诚的基督教徒。主要诗作有诗集《纯真之歌》、《经验之歌》等。早期作品简洁明快，中后期作品趋向玄妙深沉，充满神秘色彩。 他一生中与妻子相依为命，以绘画和雕版的劳酬过着简单平静的创作生活。后来诗人叶芝等人重编了他的诗集，人们才惊讶于他的虔诚与深刻。接着是他的书信和笔记的陆续发表，他的神启式的伟大画作也逐渐被世人所认知，于是诗人与画家布莱克在艺术界的崇高地位从此确立无疑。）。这其实有点让人烦恼，我可从没在路边的墓地中看到天使降临在树木间的景象。”

Offsetting the tousled, raffish, slightly boyish air is that rich, Burtonesque baritone of his, last heard terrorizing the crew of the starship Enterprisein the sci-fi blockbuster Star Trek into Darkness. Bill Condon calls it “a cello,” in which case conversation with him can resemble a Haydn concerto, allegro con brio, The man can talk. When I ask him whether he talked to Streep about the niceties of playing a real-life person, he delivers a ten-minute answer (10:32, to be precise), brilliantly digressive, touching on Assange and Margaret Thatcher, on process and music and notes, but the actual answer, strictly speaking, is: no. “I’m sorry; did I get off-track?” he says, blinking innocently, as if abashed by his own brilliance. He says his mother always knows when he’s about to start another season of Sherlock because he starts talking double speed. “His voice-mail messages are one of the great highlights of our friendship,” says the actress Rebbeca Hall, who has known him since she was thirteen and saw him in a production of The Taming of the Shrew at Harrow. “They contain an entire conversation. They’re just joyous.”
头发乱蓬蓬，坏小子似的，有点孩子气的气质完全被他的男中音弥补了。这声音最近刚让科幻巨制“星际迷航暗黑无界”中企业号飞船的船员们陷入了恐慌。比尔·康顿将其称之为大提琴音。于是与他的对话可以被比作海顿的协奏曲，有活力的快板。这男人真的很能说。当我问他是否曾与斯特里普探讨扮演真实存在的人物的好处时，他奉上了一段长达十分钟的回答，确切地说，是10分钟32秒。跑题跑得相当妙，从阿桑奇谈到玛格丽特·撒切尔，从音乐谈到拍摄须知，但实际上答案说白了就两个字“没有”。“真是抱歉，我是不是跑题了？”他说道，无辜地眨着眼睛，好像被自己的才华搞得很囧似的。他说他母亲总能知道他什么时候开始拍摄新一季的神探夏洛克，因为他会开始语速加倍。“他的语音留言是我们友谊中的一大亮点，”女演员丽贝卡·豪尔说道，她从十三岁时在哈罗公学观看本尼参演的“驯悍记”时起就认识他了。“他的语音留言包含了一整段对话。实在是太欢乐了。”

“It’s almost like a primitive ritual, a weird Dionysian experience among nice middle-class women who are devoted to him,” says Danny Boyle, who directed the actor in the acclaimed London stage productiong of Frankenstein in 2011, with Cumberbatch alternating the roles of scientist and monster. “I think he gets annoyed that people think of him as being a cerebral, intellectual actor,” Boyle adds. “He’s an immersive actor; he’s physical. You have to keep feeding him, trying to keep him stimulated. The engine has to be stoked all the time. The joke is that Hollywood thinks it’s investigating him right now to see what he’s made of. The truth is: He’s investigating them.”
“在那些无比忠诚于他的可爱的中产阶级女性们中间掀起的简直就像某种原始仪式，某种酒神狂欢节式的体验。”丹尼·博伊尔说到。他在2011年伦敦上演的广受赞誉的舞台剧“弗兰肯斯坦的灵与肉”中指导过这位演员。这出戏里康伯巴奇每晚轮流扮演科学家和怪物。“我觉得他因为大家都把他看成智力超群，纯粹擅长脑力的演员而烦恼，他也是可以展现身体的。你需要不断地给他输送新鲜养分，使他保持亢奋。引擎需要随时飞转才行。有意思的是好莱坞觉得他们现在正在研究他，想搞清楚他是怎么回事，但实际上是他在研究他们。”

Murray’s up a set,” Cumberbatch tells me excitedly on the phone from London a few days later. He’s packed, ready to go to the Glastonbury Festival, whose lineup this year includes the Rolling Stones and Phoenix. “I feel more in my 20s than I did when I was in my 20s,” he tells me, having spent those years in a committed relationship with the actress Olivia Poulet, whom he met at university and from whom he split in 2010. “It happened very gradually, very mutually,” he says. “We’re still very good friends. There was no acrimony, I love her, adore her, always will.” After the breakup, he embarked on a hot-air expedition over the plain of Namibia: “It was the most romantic thing I’ve ever done on my own. Everyone else was coupled up. It was horrible.
“穆雷赢了！”几天后康伯巴奇兴奋地在从伦敦打来的电话里告诉我。（译注：应该是指穆雷温网夺冠的事吧）他已经打包好了准备前往英国格拉斯顿伯里音乐节，今年的阵容包括滚石乐队和凤凰乐队。“我感觉比我真正二十几岁时还更像二十多岁。”他告诉我。那些岁月他是和前女友女演员奥利维亚波利特一起度过的，两人关系稳定，但是于2010年分手。“事情是逐渐发生的，双方的感觉是一致的，”他说道，“我们现在还是很好的朋友。完全没有任何不愉快。我爱她，喜欢她，永远都会。”分手之后，他去了纳米比亚平原进行热气球探险。那是我自己独自一人做过的最浪漫的事了。其他人都是成双成对的，很可恶。

The only other place he gets the same release is acting, he says. After playing Assange and appearing in August, he has roles in Steve McQueen’s 12Years a Slave; Peter Jackson’s Hobbit sequel, in which he gives voice to Smaug the dragon; and The Imitation Game, in which he plays mathematician Alan Turing. “If I were lucky enough to be in the 4 percent of our population that’s working, that’s the first blessing. Second blessing is if you get any decent work; the third blessing is if you get variety of work….” There’s a fourth blessing and a fifth blessing as well (“the fifth being that it’s going my way”). More than likely, there is a sixth and a seventh blessing I never even get to hear about. He keeps talking right up to the second he says goodbye—“OK, great, bye”—turns, and marches off down Sullivan Street, beneath a sweltering New York sun.
他说唯一能让他得到类似释放的领域就是表演了。在扮演了阿桑奇并在“八月：奥色治郡”中出镜之后，他又出现在史蒂夫•麦奎因的“为奴十二年”和彼得•杰克逊的“霍比特人”续集中，他为后者里的巨龙四毛哥献声。接下来他将在“模仿游戏”中扮演数学家阿兰•图灵。“如果我有幸属于全部人口中那4%有工作的人，这就是第一重福祉了。第二重福祉是能得到一份好工作，第三重福祉是得到多样的工作……”接下来还有第四重和第五重福祉（第五重是“按照我的方式发展”）。不用说肯定还有我没能听到的第六重和第七重福祉。他一直高谈阔论到说再见那一秒¬——“好，很好，再见。”——转弯，沿着苏利文大街前进，在纽约的骄阳下。

这次感觉翻得比较渣，大伙儿凑合看吧。
