(Reporter Lin Yanwen) 首次来上海，想坐轮船游黄浦江 Visiting Shanghai for the first time, want to take a boat tour in Huangpu River 青年报（以下简称“青”）：前一天晚上就到上海了，第一次来，对上海什么印象？ Youth Daily (YD hereafter): arrived in Shanghai last night, what is your impression about Shanghai for first time visit? 李敏镐（以下简称“李”）：首先是在机场感受到粉丝们的热情，很多粉丝来接机，大概有三四百个，大家的热情让我很感动。 Lee Min Ho (LMH hereafter): Firstly, I can feel the enthusiasm of fans at the airport. Many of them, around 300-400 people, welcome me. I am very touched by their passion. 青：之前对上海有了解吗？想去哪里玩呢？ YD: Do you know anything about Shanghai? Any places you want to visit? 李：真的很想去逛一下夜景。因为我住的酒店房间就能看到黄浦江，昨晚也看到轮船了，很想坐着船夜游。 LMH: Really want to go sightseeing of the night view. Since I can see Huangpu River from my hotel room, I can also see the ferries. I really want to take a boat trip at nighttime 青：小吃呢？上海的小吃也是非常有名的，有特别想吃的吗？晚饭吃了什么？ YD: How about food? Foods in Shanghai is popular, anything particular you want to try? What did you have for dinner? 李：其实飞机刚落地之后，就去吃了一顿上海菜，觉得味道非常好，但是时间太短了，很多小吃没来得及吃，我怕这几天的时候也不够吃个遍。（转而调皮地问记者，“有没有什么小吃可以推荐的？”） LMH: Actually I had a meal in Shanghai cuisine upon arrival. It’s very delicious. But time is too short; there are many snacks that I haven’t tried. I am afraid there won’t be enough time for me to try them all . (He then playfully asked the reporter if she had any recommendation) 美丽女演员，第一个想起林志玲 Beautiful Actress, Lin Zhiling is the first come into mind 青：想进军中国市场，演中国电影吗？ YD: Do you want to act in Chinese movie and enter the China market? 李：其实我看过很多中国的电影，从小就特别喜欢看，尤其是很多港片，包括《英雄本色》、《无间道》，都是我很喜欢的，中国的电影，只要有机会和邀请，我都愿意演。 LMH: On fact I have watched many Chinese movies. I like to watch them since I were young, especially a lot of Hong Kong films, “A better tomorrow”, “Infernal Affairs” are the ones I love. For Chinese film, if there is a chance and invitation, I am willing to try. 青：越来越多的中国女演员在日韩很受欢迎，汤唯也出席了不久前的韩国青龙奖颁奖礼，你印象最深的、或者认为最美的女演员是谁？ YD: There are more Chinese actresses becoming popular in Japan & Korea. Tang Wei also attended the Blue Dragon Awards recently. Which actress is the most impressive/ the most beautiful in your mind? 李：如果说想合作的话，梁朝伟和刘德华都是我想要合作的，包括汤唯也是，上次刚见过。现在问我哪个女演员（最美）……林志玲挺美的。 LMH: If talking about the ones I want to work with, Tony Leung Chiu-wai & Andy Lau Tak-wah are the ones. And also Tang Wei, whom I have met. Now you asked about the beautiful actress… Lin Zhiling is beautiful. 青：现在越来越多的韩国演员到中国来发展，你觉得那么多韩国男星中，自己最大的优势和优点在哪里呢？大家都叫你“长腿哥哥”，你觉得腿长和身材比例是你的优势吗？ YD: There are more & more Korean actor develop their career in China. What do you think are your biggest strengths and advantages? Everyone calls you “long-leg oppa”, do you think you long legs & body is an advantage? 李：（害羞地笑了几秒钟后）个子高也算是生下来的福分吧，因为我父母个子也很高，其实现在韩国女孩也喜欢高个子的。大家放心，为了粉丝们我会一直努力健身，保持好身材的。至于优势，我觉得自己是个热衷于专注角色创作的人。 LMH: (smile for a few seconds shyly) It’s a blessing from god to have a tall body, since my parents are tall as well. Actually girls in Korea also like tall guys. No worry, I will continue to exercise and keep my body shape for my fans. For advantages, I think I am a person who is keen to focus on creating character. 性格很开朗，爱情也会主动出击 Very outgoing personality, will take initiation for love 青：《城市猎人》让更多的中国影迷喜欢上了你，你给自己打几分呢？ YD: “City Hunter” makes more Chinese fans fell in love with you, how do you rate your performance? 李：其实每次我演完一部戏都没给自己打过高分，基本都在50分以下，但每次观众的喜爱都超过了我的预期。说实话我对自己的演技有很多不满意的地方，比如《城市猎人》开拍前我经过了几个月的专业打斗训练，如果给我六个月或更长时间，应该会打得更好。 LMH: Actually I have never rated myself a high marks after every project, basically all are below 50. But every time the love from audience is more than I expected. Frankly speaking, I am not very satisfied with my acting in many aspects. For example, for the fight scenes in City Hunter, I have received training for a few months, but I think I can do much better if I can be trained for 6 months or more 青：演了那么多角色，哪个和你自己最接近？感情方面喜欢怎样的女生? YD: among all the characters you have played, which is the closest to your true self? Which type of girl you like? 李：我觉得角色和我本人是很互补的，每个角色都会有百分之五十的相像，比如《城市猎人》里面的李润成，我觉得自己和他比较相似的一面是开朗乐观，又喜欢独立思考想事情。不过，感情上我并不会像那个角色那样，喜欢一个人就会主动问她“你爱我吗”。 LMH: I think the character and my true self are complementary; every role would have 50% look alike. Such as City Hunter’s Lee Yoon Sung, I think we are alike on the side of his optimistic, cheerful and think independently; but regarding the side about love, I would not like the role I played. I would take the initiation to say “do you love me” if I love someone Source: why.com.cn Translation: meow / loveghs.wordpress.com P.S. did the translation in a rush, there might be many typos or inaccurate translation, please bear with me.
