參考譯文

妮娜·杜波夫的出現，使得保加利亞人終于可以說他們成功進軍了好萊塢。年僅21歲時，妮娜·杜波夫便已憑借著其在廣受追捧的美劇《吸血鬼日記》中所扮演的埃琳娜·吉爾伯特，獲得了國際上的認可。

妮娜出生于保加利亞首都索非亞，但她在兩歲時便和父母移民到了加拿大。妮娜熱衷于藝術，在安大略省的多倫多，她更是獲得了發展其演藝天賦的機會。

她參加了舞蹈、體操、戲劇、音樂和視覺藝術方面的課程。然而，正是她的模特工作使她開始接拍商業廣告，轉而獲得了試鏡的機會。

2009年，妮娜憑借《吸血鬼日記》取得了重大突破。她扮演了一名在兩個吸血鬼兄弟間糾纏的年輕女孩。在第二季中，她還扮演了保加利亞籍的凱瑟琳·皮爾斯—一位來自兩兄弟的過去的吸血鬼。

在一共參演了20部美國和加拿大的電影及電視劇后，妮娜已經成為了好萊塢發展最快的明星之一。

在對她的采訪中，妮娜分享了她的計劃和對未來的期望。

作為一名年輕的好萊塢明星，你感覺怎樣？在電影中首次取得突破時，你又有什么想法和感受？

能夠成為一名職業演員是很令人滿足的。同時，這也是一個漫長的過程，不是一天兩天就能做到的，要經過很多的訓練和努力。但這對于我來說是一段美好的旅程，而現在我正處于一個對工作十分自信的狀態。我正不斷地接受挑戰，而且樂在其中。

就目前來看，你從自己的演藝經驗中學到了什么？作為一名演員，這些演藝經驗對你有什么好處？

在《吸血鬼日記》中，我得到了難得的機會—去扮演兩個完全不同的角色。這是一個少有且獨特的機會，我覺得可以在如此令人驚艷的電視劇中同時扮演兩個這么棒的角色實在太幸運啦！每天都是一個挑戰，但我喜歡挑戰，所以這是件非常好的事情！

你還這么年輕，你希望你的職業生涯如何發展呢？你如今正努力去實現的目標又是什么呢？

我會繼續對我的工作抱有很高的期望，我希望可以完善自我，繼續尋找具有挑戰性的角色并且拍攝好的電影和電視劇。我想要轉向電影界，并且嘗試不同類型的片種，比如浪漫喜劇片、劇情片和動作片。

為了追求你的演藝事業，你放棄了你的大學學業。作出這個選擇有多艱難？

曾經有一段時間，我一邊上著大學，一邊繼續當著一名女演員。但當我出演的角色變得越來越重要，接拍電影的機會陸續到來的時候，我不得不作出選擇。無論在什么事情上想獲得成功，你都必須投入全部的精力。我對于我的選擇充滿信心，而且很開心我選擇了我的演藝事業。我私底下會繼續閱讀和學習，而且會一直這么做。我從來不認為我會停止學習，直到我生命的最后一天，我都將不斷地拓展自己的知識。此時此刻，我覺得我正在做著對自己來說正確的事情。
