“There are five kinds of actresses,” Mark Twain once wrote. “Bad actresses, fair actresses, good actresses, great actresses—and then there is Sarah Bernhardt.” No one was, or ever had been, quite like her. The French performer was celebrated not only for her enchanting voice, but also as “the queen of the pose and the princess of the gesture”. She played the greatest roles written by Dumas, Molière and Shakespeare and is thought to have inspired the character of La Berma in Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time”.

“女演员有五种，”马克·吐温曾经写道。“糟糕的女演员，一般的女演员，优秀的女演员，伟大的女演员——然后还有莎拉·伯恩哈特。”没有人，或者说从来没有人像她一样。这位法guo演员不仅因其迷人的嗓音而闻名，还被誉为“造型女王和姿态公主”。她扮演过大仲马、莫里哀和莎士比亚笔下最好的角色，还被认为是普鲁斯特《追忆似水年华》中拉·贝尔玛这个角色的灵感来源。

Bernhardt had been acting from a young age, but did not break out until her late 20s, when she played Phèdre in Racine’s tragedy at the Comédie-­Française. The theatre company was prestigious, yet soon it was Bernhardt the public was flocking to see. After a successful tour of Britain she cut them loose and embarked on the first of several lucrative tours of America. She travelled in a manner appropriate to a modern-­day diva, making use of a personal train carriage which carried her maid, cook and leading man.

伯恩哈特从年轻时就开始演戏，但直到快30岁了才有所突破，那是在法guo国家大剧院，她在拉辛的悲剧中扮演Phèdre。剧院公司久负盛名，然而很快公众们蜂拥而至，却只是为了看伯恩哈特。在一次成功的英guo巡演之后，她离开了他们，并开始了第一次赚很多💰的美guo巡演。她以一种合乎于现代天后的方式旅行，使用私人火车车厢，载着她的女仆、厨师和男主角。

可以选的含义这么多，怎么办呢？我们其实只要通过上下文去理解就行，文中fair前面有bad，后面有good、great，我们就可以明白，fair在这里是介于bad和good之间的一个程度，也就是“普通的、一般的”。
