Elizabeth Taylor

Barbara Walters: When you hear people saying¹, “Elizabeth Taylor, now she’s a 1)legend.”

Elizabeth Taylor: That always sounds to me like an 2)obituary. Um, I don’t feel dead² yet³. People have asked me why I don’t write a book, because I’m still living⁴ it. I’m still, my life⁵ is still writing⁶ chapters⁷. I’m not ready to sit and 3)contemplate the past. I’m too busy living the present. I’m looking forward⁸ to the future⁹.

芭芭拉·沃尔特：你有没有听人们说：“伊丽莎白·泰勒，她现在是一个传奇人物。”

伊丽莎白·泰勒：这听起来很像悼词。我觉得我还活着。有人问我为什么不写书立传，那是因为我至今还活在世上，我还活着。我的生活还在书写新的篇章。我不准备坐下来，思考过去。眼前的生活就够我忙的，我盼望未来。
