　　本站近日全球独家专访了这位在古墓丽影玩家圈里非常具有影响力的人物。

　　记者：你是什么时候开始接触古墓丽影游戏的？(When did you start playing Tomb raider game?)

　　梅隆妮： 最早是《古墓丽影2》，我当时拿到了一个试玩碟，一下子就被劳拉吸引了，然后把第一部也补上了，从那以后我是每部都不落下。
　　(I first started playing Tomb Raider after receiving a demo disc with Tomb Raider 2 on it. I was so inspired by Lara that I just HAD to get the first and second games - my obsession with the series continued from there as I have continued playing every new title onward.)

　　记者：你最喜欢古墓丽影哪一部？喜欢的原因是什么？(Which Tomb Raider game is your favorite? Why?)

　　梅隆妮： 这个问题不好答，不过真要选的话，那我就选《古墓丽影3》。游戏里的场景非常壮观，我还特别喜欢那些偷药包的小猴子！我觉得第三部里面对游戏的地点设定很突出，从51区，到西太平洋，都是每一个探险家的梦想之地！游戏难度的设计也很合我意。
　　另外最新的《古墓丽影：崛起》也很棒。关卡设计的很有吸引力，开放式的探索模式做得太好了！
　　(It's a hard call, but ultimately I would have to say Tomb Raider 3 is my favorite in the series. The locations are incredible, and I love the pesky little medipack stealing monkeys! Tomb Raider 3 did an excellent job providing level variety. From Area 51, to the South Pacific, to London, and more - an explorer's dream! I also loved the challenging difficulty.
　　I think Rise of the Tomb Raider is definitely one of the greatest as well. The level design is fantastic, and the amount of exploration is unbelievable!)

　　记者：你认为劳拉·克劳馥对你带来了什么影响？你觉得自己哪些特质跟劳拉很像？劳拉的哪些特质对你来说是很难具备的？(How does Lara Croft inspire you? Do you see any of your own personality with in Lara Croft? What part of her personality/character do you think would be the hardest to undertake?)

　　梅隆妮：劳拉·克劳馥坚强独立的性格一直在影响着我人生的成长。当我遇到生活中困难的时候，或者在我追寻梦想遇到挫折的时候，我总会去把自己想象成劳拉然后努力克服一切。我觉得我和劳拉的共同点就是不轻易言弃，如果我想达到什么目标，我一定会想方设法努力去实现它。
　　不过比起劳拉来，我要比她内敛一些，劳拉从来都是敢说敢做，相比较我的性格要敏感很多，我不太善于直来直去。
　　(Lara Croft has inspired me throughout my life, while growing up and even now as an adult. She is such a strong and independent character, and when times got tough for me, or I was nervous about the risks of chasing my dreams, I thought of Lara Croft's strength and how I could be strong too. I think what I have most in common with Lara is that I never give up when the going gets tough. If I want something, I get it, no matter how many times I have to pick myself up along the way.
　　However, in my personality I'm a bit more passive than Lara. She is never afraid to speak her mind, but I'm quite sensitive, so I definitely hold my words sometimes. )

　　记者：你是从什么时候开始做网络直播的？ 你直播的都是什么样的游戏？我们能把你的直播主页公开给中国的玩家吗？(When did you start streaming? What kind of games are you streaming most about? Can we include your streaming page (such as twitch) to the fans in China?)

　　梅隆妮：最早是从2012年开始做直播的，不过中间有过断断续续。从前几年开始我把更多的注意力放在了我的直播上，能够通过现场以玩游戏的形式和全世界的玩家互动是非常有意思的事情！
　　我会直播很多不同种类的游戏，很大部分是一些刚刚上市的新游戏，比如最近的《守望先锋》。哦，还有《英雄联盟》。 当然所有跟古墓丽影有关的游戏（重启版和经典版）我也会直播。
　　很欢迎中国的玩家参与我的现场直播！
　　(I originally started streaming in 2012, but I took some breaks here and there along the way. The past couple years I have definitely been a lot more active on my streams - I have so much fun being able to hang out with people from around the world while gaming! I'm a variety streamer so I like to play a lot of new release titles, and of course anything and everything Tomb Raider (the new games as well as the classics). I also have fun playing some competitive titles like Overwatch and League of Legends.
　　And yes, you are welcome to include my streaming page :)

　　记者：我注意到当今的游戏世界里有越来越多的女性玩家，很多女性玩家也同时是古墓丽影的忠实粉丝，你认为女性玩家对古墓丽影系列带来了什么变化？对整个电游产业有什么影响吗？(It seems to me there are more and more girls playing video games nowadays, and many of them are Tomb Raider Fans, what is your thoughts about female players impact on the Tomb Raider series and the gaming industry overall?)

　　梅隆妮： 我认为现实里玩游戏的女孩子其实要比大家想象的多得多。因为一直以来女性玩家比较保守安静，整个游戏大环境很多时候对女性玩家是不太友好的，我们都遇到过这样那样的性别歧视，这也是很多女性玩家不愿意公开做直播的原因。不过随着游戏产业对女性玩家的支持度和关注力的提高，女性玩家的地位也逐渐上升。当然还是会有一些不友善的玩家说一些难听的话语，但是更多的玩家还是非常支持我们的，因为在游戏世界里，我们都应该以平等的态度去享受游戏给我们带来的乐趣。
　　很多女性玩家的确也是古墓丽影的粉丝。过去的15年里我通过古墓丽影粉丝群认识了很多朋友，我也一直活跃在论坛里，看到许许多多人都在被劳拉影响着，而这些人都是来自世界各地，大家都通过古墓丽影融入在了一起，感觉就像一个大家庭一样。劳拉以一种积极的方式改变了很多人的人生，也把我们连在了一起。
　　(I think more girls have been playing games than most realize, but they were a bit more quiet about it in the past. The gaming community can be very harsh to females at times, and we deal with a lot of sexist comments. In many ways this is what keeps a lot of female gamers from streaming or being active in the gaming community in general. However, now more than ever the support for female gamers has drastically improved. Of course there are still mean people out there who will say hateful things, but there are a lot of good people who stick up for us and who know that anyone can be a gamer - gender does not change any of that. We are all the same and we should all be happy to share the same passion that is gaming.
　　Many female gamers are in fact Tomb Raider fans. I've made lots of friends from the Tomb Raider community over the past 15 years that I have been active on forums, and it is wonderful to see how many people are inspired by Lara. What I think is wonderful about the community is that we are so diverse. Everyone is welcome in the community and we are all a big family. Lara has changed many of our lives in such a positive way and it has brought us all together. ) 

　　记者：看你最新的状态是要COSPLAY劳拉参加圣地亚哥的动漫展，对吗？ 我们能公开一些你COSPLAY劳拉的照片吗？( It seems you will attend the San Diego Comic Cons and cosplay Lara Croft,  do you mind if we include a few photos of your cosplay as Lara?)

　　梅隆妮： 当然可以啦！
　　Yes, please do!

　　记者：你喜欢旅行吗？ 有没有想到将来去中国？( Do you like travel? Any future thoughts of visiting China in the future?)

　　梅隆妮：我超爱旅行！每次旅行我都感觉自己是在跟随劳拉的脚步。我一直很想很想去中国（感谢《古墓丽影2》），如果我去的话肯定告诉你！
　　(I LOVE to travel! Any time I get to go somewhere new I feel like I am following in Lara's footsteps. I have wanted to visit China for a very long time (thanks to Tomb Raider 2), and when that happens, I will definitely let you know!)

　　记者：有没有特别想对中国粉丝说的话？(Do you have any questions or comments you would like to make to your fans here in China?)

　　隆妮：感谢你们的采访！我很爱古墓丽影这个大家庭，我感觉我们都像是一家人一样。我想给所有的中国粉丝一个大大的拥抱和开心的笑容！
　　(I just want to say thank you for interviewing me. I have so much love for the Tomb Raider community and I feel like we are all family. Sending all of you in China big hugs and happy smiles! )
