讀《FT·金融時報》學英語：《哈利·波特》和《虎膽龍威》演員阿蘭·里克曼去世，享年69歲

His sonorous, languid voice was his calling card-making even throwaway lines of dialogue sound thought-out and authoritative.
他那洪亮而慵懶的聲線是他的名片——讓每一段對話中的即興臺詞聽起來謹慎而權威。

It could also be laced with threat, something he employed to great effect in Die Hard, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and the eight Potter films, where he played scheming potions master Severus Snape.
這聲音中也許還帶著些威脅的味道。里克曼將這一技巧運用在《虎膽龍威》和《俠盜羅賓漢》中，還有八部《哈利·波特》系列電影，其中他飾演詭計多端的魔藥大師西弗勒斯·斯內普。

But he could also take on romantic leads, as in Anthony Minghella's 1991 drama Truly, Madly, Deeply and later turned his hand to directing.
但他也演得來愛情片主角，比如Anthony Minghella 1991年的劇情片《Truly, Madly, Deeply》，后來他又嘗試親自導演。
