Actor Heath Ledger Found Dead in Manhattan Home
 

演員希斯•萊傑猝死於曼哈頓家中

Actor Heath Ledger, best known for his Oscar-nominated starring role in Brokeback Mountain, died Tuesday, January 22.
The 28-year-old movie star was discovered in the bedroom of his Manhattan apartment lying facedown and unresponsive by his masseuse, Diana Wolozin.
  演員希斯•萊傑最出名的是電影《斷背山》中獲得奧斯卡提名的角色,他在週二一月二十二日逝世。這位二十八歲的電影明星被他的女按摩師黛安娜•沃羅辛發現躺在他曼哈頓的公寓臥室中,面朝下俯臥而且毫無反應。
The cause of death had not been determined at press-time and an autopsy by medical examiners was inconclusive.
Initial reports said a variety of prescription and over-the-counter medications were found in Ledger's bedroom.
No illegal drugs were discovered by police and foul play had been ruled out in the actor's death.
  媒體發佈訊息時死亡原因還不清楚,也尚未確定是否要由醫檢人員進行解剖。最初的報導指出,在萊傑的臥室裡發現了各種處方藥及自行購自藥房的成藥。警方並未發現任何禁藥,死因也排除謀殺的可能性。
Some medical experts speculated that Ledger's death may have been accidental, brought on by a deadly mixture of medications.
In an interview given in the weeks leading up to his passing, Ledger admitted to being under a great deal of stress and having trouble sleeping.
The actor may also have been suffering from a bout of the flu, according to family members.
Among the drugs found by investigators were ones to treat insomnia and anxiety, as well as cold and flu medication.
  一些醫藥專家猜測,萊傑的死亡可能是混合用藥導致的致命意外。在他逝世前數週的一個訪問中,萊傑坦承他承受很大的壓力,而且有睡眠的問題。根據家人表示,他也可能受到流行性感冒折磨。在調查人員發現的藥品中,有些是用來治療失眠和焦慮,還有傷風和流行性感冒的藥物。
At the time of his death, Ledger's career appeared to be in full swing, with an upcoming starring role as The Joker in the latest entry in the Batman franchise, The Dark Knight.
Ledger burst onto the Hollywood scene as a tussle-haired heartthrob in films like The Patriot and A Knights Tale before gaining international critical acclaim as a cowboy wrestling with his sexuality in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain.
  就在萊傑死時,他的事業正蓬勃發展,接下來還將擔綱最新一集蝙蝠俠系列電影《黑暗武士》中的「小丑」一角。 萊傑以一頭蓬鬆捲髮的大眾情人形象竄上好萊塢大螢幕,曾演出《決戰時刻》和《騎士風雲錄》等電影,之後在李安的《斷背山》中飾演為情慾掙扎的牛仔而享譽國際。
Fellow actors reacted with shock and sadness to news of Ledger's death.
  合作的演員對萊傑的死訊紛紛表示震驚與哀悼。
"I had such great hope for him," said Mel Gibson, who starred alongside Ledger in 2000's The Patriot.
"He was just taking off and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family."
  與萊傑在《決戰時刻》中合作演出的梅爾•吉伯遜表示:「我對他非常看好。他才正要起飛,如此英年早逝實在是個沈痛的損失。我的思念與祈禱將與他及他的家人同在。」
