本段译文 以两部经典电影闻名的美国演员伊娃·玛丽·森特于10月6日在洛杉矶家中去世，享年102岁。她的家人代表称，死因为自然原因。这则消息让人们再次关注她持续约70年的事业。然而，森特并没有遵循好莱坞明星通常的道路。在很早就获得电影界最高奖项后，她常常选择减少工作。
Saint’s first movie was On the Waterfront in 1954. She played Edie Doyle , a young woman searching for the truth about her brother’s death . The role brought her an Academy Award for best supporting actress . She was nine months pregnant when she received it , and her first child was born two days later . Five years after that success , she appeared with Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest . The two parts were very different . One was gentle and honest ; the other was clever and mysterious . Together , they showed her range
本段译文 森特的第一部电影是1954年的《码头风云》。她饰演伊迪·多伊尔，一位寻找哥哥死亡真相的年轻女子。这个角色为她赢得奥斯卡最佳女配角奖。领奖时她已怀孕九个月，两天后生下第一个孩子。那次成功五年后，她在阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克的《西北偏北》中与加里·格兰特共同出演。两个角色十分不同：一个温和坦率，另一个聪明而神秘。它们共同展现了她的表演范围。
Success could have led to a long list of major studio films . Instead , Saint protected her independence . The Associated Press reported that she refused the kind of studio agreement that could control an actor’s choices for years . She also turned down many parts because she wanted time with her husband , director Jeffrey Hayden , and their two children . The couple were married for 65 years , until Hayden died in 2016. For Saint , family life was not something to fit around work . It helped set the limits of her work .
本段译文 成功本可以为她带来一长串大型制片厂电影。森特却选择保护自己的独立性。据美联社报道，她拒绝了那类可能多年控制演员选择的制片厂合约。她还拒绝许多角色，因为她想留出时间陪伴丈夫、导演杰弗里·海登，以及他们的两个孩子。两人的婚姻持续了65年，直到海登于2016年去世。对森特而言，家庭生活不是要被塞进工作空隙中的事情，它帮助她划定工作的边界。
This choice did not end her career . It changed its shape . Saint moved between films , television , radio , and the stage . She won an Emmy for the 1990 television drama People Like Us . She also continued acting at an age when many performers had already retired . Her later work included Superman Returns and the animated series The Legend of Korra . Bowling Green State University , where she studied , said her career covered 70 years and more than 160 productions
本段译文 这一选择没有结束她的事业，而是改变了它的形态。森特在电影、电视、广播和舞台之间转换。她凭1990年的电视剧《People Like Us》获得艾美奖。许多表演者早已退休时，她仍继续演戏。她后期的作品包括《超人归来》和动画剧集《科拉传奇》。她就读过的鲍灵格林州立大学称，她的事业横跨70年，参与了160多部作品。
Saint’s story changes a common idea about ambition . A successful career does not always require the greatest possible number of roles . She became famous through a few powerful performances , then kept enough control to build a life beyond the screen . Her death closes a direct link to Hollywood’s earlier age . But her choices still raise a modern question : should career success be measured only by how much work a person accepts
本段译文 森特的故事改变了人们对进取心的一种常见看法。成功的事业并不总是需要尽可能多的角色。她凭少数几个有力的表演成名，随后保有足够的自主权，在银幕之外建立自己的生活。她的去世结束了人们与好莱坞早期时代的一条直接联系。但她的选择仍提出一个现代问题：衡量事业成功时，是否只能看一个人接受了多少工作？
