塞尔菲诺维奇读信给粉丝的回信(2)
In answer to your questions, my real name is David Jones and I don’t have to tell you why I changed it. “Nobody’s going to make a monkey out of you” said my manager. My birthday is January 8th and I guess I’m 5’10”. There is a Fan Club here in England, but if things go well in the States then we’ll have one there I suppose. It’s a little early to even think about it.
在回答你的问题时，我的真名是大卫·琼斯，我不打算告诉你我为什么要改名字。我的经纪人说:“没有人会笑话你的。”我的生日是1月8日，我想应该是5月10号 “。在英国有一个粉丝俱乐部，但是如果在美国一切顺利的话，我想我们在当地也会组建一个粉丝俱乐部。现在想都还为时过早。
I hope one day to get to America. My manager tells me lots about it as he has been there many times with other acts he manages. I was watching an old film on TV the other night called “No Down Payment” a great film, but rather depressing if it is a true reflection of The American Way Of Life. However, shortly after that they showed a documentary about Robert Frost the American poet, filmed mainly at his home in Vermont, and that evened the score. I am sure that that is nearer the real America. I made my first movie last week. Just a fifteen minutes short, but it gave me some good experience for a full length deal I have starting in January.
我希望有一天能去美国。我的经纪人跟我说了很多，因为他已经和他管理的其他演员多次合作过。前几天晚上，我在电视上看了一部老电影，名字叫《没有首付》(No Down Payment)。这是一部很棒的电影，不过如果电影真实地反映了美国人的生活方式，那就太令人沮丧了。然而，在那之后不久，他们放映了一部关于美国诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特的纪录片，主要是在他佛蒙特州的家中取景的。我相信这更接近真正美国人的生活。上周，我拍了自己的第一部电影。虽然只是个15分钟的短片，但它给我带来一些不错的经验，让我可以在1月份开始一份（完整的）电影合约。
Thank you for being so kind as to write to me and do please write again and let me know some more about yourself.
谢谢你给我写信，请再写一次，让我对你有更多的了解。
Yours sincerely,
喜爱你的
