费雯丽语录（中英对照）

 　　*That's one of the two words in the English language I most detest-pretty and the other is beautiful.

　　我最不愿听到的字眼有两个，一是漂亮、二是美丽。

　　*I have always believed that if you want something with your head soul you get it.

　　我相信如果你全心全意的想要某样东西，你实际上已经得到了。

　　*It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.

　　让观众笑比让观众哭难。

　　*Some critics saw fit to say that I was a great actress.I thought that was a foolish,wicked thing to say 　because it put such an onus¹ and such an responsibility onto mee,which I simply wasn't able to carry.

　　有些评论家说我是个伟大的女演员，我认为这个说法并不好。因为这样我将承担一些超出我能力范围的义务与责任。（此处意译了一下）

　　*My birth sign is Scorpio and they burn themselves out and eat themselves up and they are careless about themselves-like me.I swing between happiness and misery² and I cry easily.I am a mixture of my mother's determination and my father's optimism³. I am part prude and part non-conformist and I say what I think and dissemble.I am a mixture of French ,Irish and Yorkshire,and perhaps that's what it all is.

　　我是天蝎座的人，天蝎座的特点是喜欢竭尽全力去做事但却总是疏忽了自己，这一点真的与我很相象。当我在快乐与痛苦的两端游走时，总是很容易感伤哭泣。我继承了母亲的坚强意志与父亲的乐观精神。我既有遵循旧礼又不愿过分墨守成规。有时我会选择直接表达自己的想法，但隐忍也是我的性格。杂糅着来自法国和爱尔兰约克郡的血统，或许，这就是我。
