“第五元素”Milla Jovovich      



　　看过电影《第五元素》的人一定不会忘记片中的女主角，她饰演的外星人基本上不会讲人类的语言，但是整个人物留给大家的印象却是如此深刻。有人说她的魅力全部来自她的眼睛……
Milla Jovovich has been modeling and acting for over 10 years. She can be seen in ads for many L'Oreal products & Christian Dior and in many magazines. 　　　　　
　　
　　 **L'Oreal：法国化妆品公司：奥雷阿尔。和我们熟知的Christ- ian Dior一样，都是著名化妆品牌。Christian Dior又常常简称为CD。
At a time when most young ladies were bemoaning their first pimples and crushes to their diaries, 11-year-old Milla Jovovich was being photographed by celebrity shutterbug Richard Avedon as one of Revlon's "Most Unforgettable Women in the World," and earning $3,500 for a day's work.
　　
　　 ** bemoan：哀叹，惋惜。因为脸上长青春豆而伤心难过，成人可能觉得夸张，但是对十七八岁的女孩来说可是一件不小的事情。所以bemoan这个有些夸张的词运用到这里并不为过。
　　
　　 ** shutterbug：看看这个词：shutter + bug，shutter是“照相机快门”的意思，bug是“热衷者”，那么shutterbug就是指那些把快门按得“嚓嚓”响的“摄影迷”。另外还有movie bug(影迷)，basketball bug(篮球迷)等等。











Backed by her mother-manager, the exotic young beauty pursued work as a child actor (her first part came in the 1988 Disney TV movie The Night Train to Kathmandu) and succeeded in landing a modeling contract with Prima at the age of 11.
　　
　　 ** succeed in doing sth.：这是succeed最常用的短语：成功地做某事。在她妈妈的支持下milla1998年参与拍摄了第一部戏，之后成为prima公司的签约模特，当时她才11岁。
Until her appearance in The Fifth Element, Milla's cinematic offerings largely disappointed. But, in French director Luc Besson's $80-million Blade Runner-esque spectacle, she seemed to finally find the perfect role: sporting bright orange dreads with lemon roots and an absolutely fabulous Ace bandage costume created by designer Jean Paul Gaultier.
　　
　　 ** -esque：这是构成形容词的后缀，表示“……样式的”。例如：picturesque（如画的）。"Blade Runner-esque"指的就是“《银翼杀手》风格的……”。Milla以前的电影作品大多令人失望，直到《第五元素》中的表演才大受欢迎。
　　
　　 ** dreads：这里可不是“恐惧”的意思，而是dreadlock的缩写，指“骇人”的长发髻。 Costume：戏装、服装。Milla在《第五元素》中的打扮还真够别致——满头橙色的小辫子在头发根处染成柠檬黄、A型的绷带戏服。可别小瞧这几根横着竖着的布条，这可是大设计师Jean Paul Gaultier的作品。
