《中英對照讀新聞》Merkel movie set for 2017 - but who will play her? 梅克爾電影可能於2017年上映－但誰會扮演她？

◎顧佳欣

A movie about the life of German Chancellor Angela Merkel looks set to hit the big screen in 2017 under plans announced by a TV production company on Tuesday.

一家電視製作公司週二表示，一部關於德國總理安吉拉．梅克爾生平的電影可能在2017年登上大銀幕。

But the big question of who will take on the role of the 60-year-old often described as the world’s most powerful woman is not expected to be decided until later this year, said the company, AVE.

但製作公司AVE指出，由誰來扮演這位60歲、常被形容為全世界最有權勢的女性的大問題，要到今年稍晚才會決定。

Merkel -- a pastor’s daughter and trained scientist who was raised in communist East Germany -- became Germany’s first female chancellor in November 2005.

梅克爾--在共產東德出生成長，一個牧師的女兒及訓練有素的科學家--在2005年11月成為德國第一位女總理。

During the last election year in 2013, the notoriously guarded conservative leader revealed small glimpses into her private life -- saying she finds "nice eyes" attractive in men and can easily handle an all-night summit without sleep.

在上次2013年的選舉年，這位以謹慎出名的保守派領袖揭露了一點點的私生活--說她認為有「漂亮雙眼」的男性具魅力，並可以輕鬆地整夜不睡主持通宵的會議。
