There was a young theater student who was barely scraping by working as a waitress in restaurants. She had applied for many scholarships but was denied every time. She had great hopes of becoming a great actress playing on the big screen, but at the time she could scarcely make a living, she had to scratch and scrape for every scrap of food that she had. She was like a scavenger. She also had scholarly ambitions, but her hopes were scattered by failure after failure. She had scoured the papers for auditions day after day and scrambled to go to every audition. Eventually, she developed a scheme of finding out the schedules of talent scouts who were scouring for talented actresses, hoping to score with one of them.

有个年轻的戏剧学院学生靠在餐馆当服务员勉强维持生活。她多次申请奖学金，但每次都被否决了。她的伟大理想是当一个出现在大屏幕上的大明星，但当时她几乎没有办法维持生活——她不得不东抓一把、西抠一点来拼凑自己吃的每一块食物。这让她活得简直就像一个食腐动物。她也有学术野心，但一次又一次的失败打散了她的希望，破灭了她的梦想。她日复一日地搜寻试演资料，匆忙奔波于一次又一次的试演中。最后，她终于制定了一个方案，探听到了那些专门寻找天才女演员的星探们的时间计划表，希望能得到某一位星探的好评价。

She went to one of those auditions, and it was a stage production of Gone with the Wind. She was auditioning for the part of Scarlett. She was asked to play a summer scene in which there was scorching heat. Standing back stage, she wasn’t scared. She had studied the script and realized the scope of her role. She had prepared her parasol and fan as the script designated. The scenery was lush, as expected for summer. When the actor who played Ashley entered the stage, he was a gentleman and carried the scent of a scholar. The actors acted so well, especially the young woman, and the stage was so scenic that the talent scout felt he had a real scoop in getting this actress. Finally, the talent scout invited the young theater student to be an actress in an upcoming Hollywood movie.

她参加了一个试演，这次试演是把电影《乱世佳人》搬上舞台，她试演斯嘉丽的角色。场景选定在夏天，天气炙热无比。她镇定自若地站在布景前，毫无受到惊吓的样子。在此之前，她也已经仔细研读过剧本，非常清楚自己的角色范围。另外，她还预备好了剧本中要求的阳伞和扇子作为道具。由于是夏天，所以风景很迷人，草木繁茂。扮演阿希礼的男演员走上了舞台。阿希礼是一个绅士，身上带有一种浓浓的学者气质。演员们的演出都非常精彩，女演员尤其出色，同时舞台布景也风景如画。这一切都让星探感觉到自己已经挖掘到了真正合适的女演员。最后，星探邀请那位年轻的戏剧掌院的学生在即将开拍的一部好莱坞影片中担任女演员。
