“I’m really surprised this is going so well,” says Paul Giamatti early on in our conversation. It’s a typically sardonic remark from the American actor famed for his Oscar-nominated roles in the mordant movies Sideways and The Holdovers and the TV show Billions. Yet the cause of his concern today is not existential but technological. “I’m an extremely wary user of technology,” he says. “I always feel like I have some strange negative body charge or something, because nothing ever works for me.”
「我真的很驚訝事情進展得如此順利,」保羅•吉亞瑪提(Paul Giamatti)在我們談話初期說道。這是這位美國演員典型的諷刺性評論,他因在諷刺電影《杯酒人生》和《留校聯盟》以及電視劇《億萬》中獲得奧斯卡提名的角色而聞名。然而,今天讓他擔憂的原因不是存在主義,而是技術問題。「我對技術非常謹慎,」他說。「我總覺得自己有某種奇怪的負電荷,因爲對我來說,什麼都不管用。」
