　　Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment Tuesday afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment's bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a ①masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence's housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse's arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times at first stated that the apartment ②in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but a publicist for the actress later said that Olsen did not own a unit in the building in which Ledger was found. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that ③foul play was not suspected and that pills had been found near Ledger's body.

　　A native of Australia, Ledger shot to fame as a teen heartthrob in 10 Things I Hate About You before graduating to more adult roles, most notably his Oscar-nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain.

Earlier this year, Ledger ④wrapped filming on the Batman film The Dark Knight, in which he played The Joker; the film is currently set for release this summer.

　　希斯·莱杰是土生土长的澳大利亚人，他在《对面恶女看过来》中一鸣惊人成为少女杀手，继而接手演绎了更多的成年人角色，并终因《断背山》中的角色而得到了奥斯卡提名名噪一时。他曾与“断背”中的女演员蜜雪儿·威廉丝订婚并有一女，但几个月前两人分手。年初莱杰刚刚④完成蝙蝠侠电影《黑暗骑士》的拍摄，他在其中出演小丑一角；该片现已完成待今夏公映。直到报道截止时，尚无关于这位演员死亡的更多细节。

　　【NOTES】

　　①masseuse:女按摩师，男的是massager。

　　②in question:上述的…不过也有怀疑的意思

　　③foul play:原意是“犯规”，引申为谋杀。

　　④wrap:其实是Wind, Reel And Print的首字母缩写。最早是导演用来表示作为一部电影拍摄完成的信号，但在上世纪20年代后则表示电影完成了前期拍摄就待后期制作了。中文里面相应的，应该是“杀青”。
