Xu:Goodluck,seeyouagain.

采访终于结束，整个过程也都算顺利。连Alice都很意外，像徐晨这样来自非英语国家且没有海外留学经历的中国明星，竟然能在没有翻译的环境下,完成一场90分钟以上的全英文采访，真的很难得。

虽然徐晨的口语与地道的“牛津腔”相比还有差距，但并不影响两人之间的交流，问到专业的问题，他也是对答如流，完全不需要太多的停顿。而且，他的口语水平在Alice采访过的其他中国明星里都算是中上水平。

两人从包间出来，一眼就看到了坐在外面卡座喝咖啡的编辑Carla和熙熙，采访顺利完成，Alice随即把录音笔和采访稿交给Carla过目，采访中的详细内容基本都记录在录音笔中，稿件上则是记录了徐晨回答的一些重要的问题。

“Goodjob!Justrecognizetoday'sdraftbeforenextweek,andthensendane-mailtoXixiincasemissMrXu'spersonalsuggestion.”Carla对Alice吩咐到。

“Gotit.MrXu'soralEnglishisgreat！ThisisthefirsttimethatIhaveanEnglishinterviewwithaChinesestarwithouttranslator.”Alice对这次采访相当满意。

“Inmysparetime,IwillspendquiteafewtimeonlearningEnglish,justlikewatchingAmericanmovies,singingEnglishsongs…andItakebusinessEnglishcourseabouttwiceaweek,so,Idon'tthinkit'stoughtome.”徐晨落落大方地解释了其中的原因。

的确，他近些年做音乐专辑的过程中经常要和国外一些知名的音乐人沟通切磋，参演一些大制作的电影也需要艺人有英文功底，再加上有时候去国外出差也需要会说英语，所以他私下里一直不忘“充电”，因为大学读的是艺术院校，他的英语基础稍差一些，付出的努力也比别人多很多。

熙熙之前帮他接的一些电影剧本中有不少剧情都是在国外拍摄的，开始进剧组的时候，他连背熟英文台词都很吃力，以致于导演每次拍到他的戏份都要NG多次，有时候剧组还不得不找后期重新配音，和其他英文不错的同行相比，他觉得很是尴尬。

而如今的他却能在没有翻译的情况下，游刃有余地接受这种长时间的英文专访，口语向来不太好的他能达到这个水平，自然是花了很多时间和心思的。就连熙熙和Amy都不知道，无论工作到多晚，徐晨都强迫自己每晚睡前必须背完一篇英语文章，的确是冰冻三尺，非一日之寒。
