纯情演绎“花样年华”

　　姓名：Carole Lavillonnière

　　年龄：22岁

　　性别：女

　　职业：网游《体育帝国》程序工程师

　　爱好：运动

　　采访完Carole，不禁对眼前这位首次走出欧洲，说话十分羞涩的法国姑娘发出由衷赞叹。“我每天努力工作希望能满足玩家的需求，听取他们的需求和建议。我希望玩家更乐意与我们分享他们的想法。我非常开心能开发这款体育MMO，体育是没有疆界的！”

　　圣诞将近，Carole扑闪着欧洲人特有的长睫毛望向远方，似乎在思念他的家乡。这个法国游戏女孩绝对是游戏圈里一道最特别的风景……

　　玩《体育帝国》 “我们为游戏注入新元素！”

　　新浪游戏：你在体育帝国具体负责什么？

　　我从事游戏开发，主要负责网球项目，附带足球和篮球。我现在开发观众模式，让玩家可以随时观看任意一场正在进行的足球和篮球比赛。

　　I'm a sports gameplay programmer. I've mostly worked on tennis, but also on soccer and basket. I'm currently programming the “spectator entry” that will allow players to watch and leave any ongoing soccer or basketball match anytime they want。

　　新浪游戏：女程序在中国游戏行业可是个稀有品种，你如何看待女孩子做游戏？在工作中会不会特意关照女性玩家，或从女性玩家的角度处理工作上的问题？

　　我们公司在巴黎有女程序和女策划，她们为游戏注入了许多新元素。但是开发一个游戏不仅仅知识策划的事情。如果你希望女玩家进入游戏，那么你需要在团队里有女性开发和策划的加入，因为男女的审美不同。在团队中我们女性同样发挥着重要的作用，我们更加关注细节；同时我认为男女搭配可以保持良好的工作氛围。

　　I’m not a game designer, so it’s not my job to design quests or missions, but we have female game designers in our team in Paris, and they definitely bring a lot to the game! But creating a game doesn’t take only game designers, and if you want female players in your game, I think it's essential to have female developers all over the team, as we have a different aesthetic sensibility. We also have an important role in the team, as colleagues: we tend to pay more attention to details, and moreover, mixing sexes at work helps keeping a good atmosphere, in my experience

　　新浪游戏：《体育帝国》里，你最喜欢那个游戏？平时会跟玩家一起玩吗？

　　我喜欢玩网球，不仅是因为我花了很多时间开发这个项目，而且因为这个项目符合我的游戏习惯。我不是一个骨灰玩家，我不喜欢长时间玩一个游戏，我更喜欢玩休闲一些的游戏。我宁愿跟朋友一起打网球而不是参加正式比赛去挣冠军。体育帝国的城市氛围也十分休闲，玩家十分热情，所以有时我只是上去逛逛和聊聊天

　　The sport I prefer is tennis, not only because I've been working on it a lot, but also because it suits my gaming habits: I’m not a hardcore gamer. I don’t like to play for hours. I prefer to play a casual tennis match with my friends rather than to take part in official competitions and fight for the top. Also, the atmosphere in the cities of Empire of Sports is very friendly, so I sometimes just go and do some chatting。

“有中国朋友说我像《天使爱美丽》里的女主角哦”

　　新浪游戏：觉得法国玩家有什么特点？尤其是法国女玩家？

　　玩MMO的时候，法国玩家比其他玩家抱怨更多，但是抱怨大多不是针对游戏。(笑)除此之外，法国玩家没有中国玩家这么投入。有些玩家喜欢玩MMO，但是他们同样也喜欢在家跟家人朋友一起游戏，也愿意为此掏钱。玩家对于游戏的偏好多种多样。越来越多的游戏围绕家庭题材，你可以在巴黎的地铁看到很多女性都在玩掌机

　　While playing MMOs, French players are complaining more than other players. But French people always complain a lot, it’s not specific to games. J Apart from that, French players are generally much less hardcore than Chinese ones. Some like to play MMOs, but they also like to play at home with friends and family, and they buy consoles for that matter. In terms of games’ genre, their tastes are diverse. More and more games are very family oriented, and in the subway in Paris, we can see more and more girls and women playing the DS。

　　新浪游戏：体育帝国有什么地方能吸引女孩子来玩？

　　体育帝国看上去更像一个真实的世界，对于女性玩家而言：她们会很容易的融入这个虚拟世界。同时，我们巴黎的活动设计师会为活动设计大量巴黎最新时尚服装道具，所以玩家在游戏中有更多的自由空间：你可以成为一个体育帝国潮人，女性玩家肯定会喜欢这个。

　　除此之外，女性喜欢没有暴力的环境，喜欢没有血腥杀戮的跟其他玩家互动。体育帝国的一些项目非常受女性玩家欢迎，比如跳舞。当然，我们更有强于其他MMO社区。

　　Our world looks and works a lot like the real world, which appeals to female players: they rapidly feel comfortable in it, as they already know the rules. Also, our event designer in Paris creates all the time new trendy clothes and equipment for our competitions and ingame happening, so there’s a very wide range of customization possibilities. One can be a real fashion victim in EOS, and female players definitely love that!

　　Apart from that, women prefer non-violent environments, and interactions with other players in EOS don’t involve killing, or flaming, or dismembering other avatars. Some of our sports are very female friendly, like dancing, which are quite rare in MMOs. And of course, we have all the social networking tools and possibilities, like in all the other MMOs。

“我大爱的中国旗袍！”

　　在上海 “我觉得自己像个外星人！”

　　新浪游戏：你何时到中国来的？第一次来中国有什么印象？

　　我刚到中国两周，这是我第一次离开欧洲，对我来说很兴奋。上海很少见到欧洲女性，别人尤其是女人经常盯着我看。我觉得自己像个外星人！(哈哈)有时候他们跟我说话，但是我又不懂中文，所以只能通过手势交流。虽然手势也没什么作用，但是我很沮丧因为他们看上去很礼貌友善。

　　上海真大啊！我家在法国的一个小乡村，一共才10户人，我父母在那里养牛。当然，我现在在住在巴黎，巴黎比我老家大多了，但是还是没办法跟上海比。巴黎只有很少的摩天大楼，上海的高楼差不多是巴黎的60倍。就算别人帮忙，甚至打车(巴黎很难打到车)，我也很容易迷路。我感觉自己很渺小。

　　同样，巴黎的生活节奏也比上海慢。上海到处都是人，到处都是车。我刚到上海都有点害怕，但是这里非常有活力。上海的人都很友善，总是有人愿意帮助我，在饭店，在酒吧，在路上，只要有需要总有人伸出援手。在上海度过了一段美好时光，这是一段美妙的体验。

　　I arrived in China two weeks ago. I have never been out of Europe before, and it was very exotic to me. European women are rare in Shanghai, and people look a lot at me, especially women. I have the feeling to be an alien! Sometimes they want to speak to me, but I don't understand a word of Chinese, so I try to communicate with gestures, but it doesn’t work either, and I feel frustrated because they seem very nice and gentle。

　　And Shanghai is so big! I come from a little village in the countryside, with only 10 inhabitants, where my parents breed cows. Of course, now I live in Paris, and Paris is much bigger than my village, but it’s nothing like Shanghai. There are just a few skyscrapers in Paris. Shanghai is 60 times bigger! And even if people are trying to help, and if I can find a taxi anywhere (in Paris, you have to wait a long time to find one)， I get lost easily, and I feel very small in Shanghai。

　　Also, the rhythm is much slower in Paris. Here, there’s movement everywhere, people everywhere, cars and bikes everywhere! I was a bit scared at the beginning, but it’s also very energizing. And there’s always someone to help me: in the restaurants, in the bars, in the streets, whatever I need, someone is here for me. I feel very spoiled! I'm having a good time in China. It's really a fabulous experience。

　　新浪游戏：你喜欢中国菜吗？跟法国菜比起来如何？

　　我在法国经常去中国餐馆吃饭，但跟正宗的比还是不一样。中国菜非常好吃，我喜欢中餐的吃法。在法国，我们通常点一两道菜给自己吃。我们只吃自己点的菜。气氛也没这里这么热烈。通常，我们会有餐后的甜点，但是中国没有这个习俗。不过幸好这里没有，因为在结束进餐的时候我已经非常饱了。另外一个让我吃惊的地方是：中国人吃饭可以一直喝茶。在法国，我们通常在甜点后喝咖啡或茶。我们在法国吃饭规矩很多，我想这影响了我们享受美食。

　　I often go to so called “Chinese restaurants” in France, but they have nothing to do with the real ones. Chinese food is delicious. And I like how I can share the dishes in order to taste more things! In France, in a restaurant, we order one or two dishes just for ourselves. We don’t share. The atmosphere is much colder. Also, we often have a desert at the end of the meal, a sweet dish, and you don't have this habit here. But I’m glad there’s none, as there’s so much food here that I’m totally replete before the end of the meal! Another surprising thing to me is that you drink tea all along the meal. In France we are usually have just one coffee or one tea at the end, just after the desert. We have many rules in France, and I think they prevent us from enjoying our meals as much as you do。

　　谈恋爱 “法国男人不浪漫！”

　　新浪游戏：都说法国男人很浪漫，你觉得中国男人如何？有没有考虑找个中国男朋友？

　　我觉得这可能是个误解。可能法国男人知道如果给人留下个浪漫的印象，但是我觉得他们不浪漫。对我而言，中国和法国男人没有什么大差别。除此之外，我想女性都不回喜欢这些行为：他们总是选择简单的东西。为什么不找个中国男朋友呢？事实上，我遇到过几个很有魅力的。但是我还没准备好离开法国。我喜欢中国，但是我也想念我的家人和朋友。

　　That's a cliché to me. Maybe French men know how to give an impression of romanticism, but in my experience, they are not that romantic! French and Chinese men are not so different to me. Besides, I don't think women really like all these manners: they usually prefer things to be simpler. And why not finding a Chinese boyfriend? As a matter of fact, I've crossed some very charming ones… But I don't think I'm ready to leave France. I love China, but I'd miss my family and my friends。

　　新浪游戏：最后请对《体育帝国》的中国玩家说句话！

　　我们每天努力工作希望能满足玩家的需求，听取他们的需求和建议。但是我确信我们能做的更好。我希望玩家更乐意与我们分享他们的想法。我非常开行能开发这款体育MMO，体育是没有疆界的。它将不同国家。语言和文化的人聚集到一起。我想他们也会和我一样喜欢体育帝国！

　　We're working hard on Empire of Sports, everyday, trying to satisfy them, listening to their request and advises, but I’m sure we could do more and better, and my message for them is: don’t hesitate to share with us your ideas! Also, I’m very happy to work on a sports’ MMO: sport is universal; it’s one of the very few things that can bring together people from very different countries, language and cultures. And I hope they will like it as much as I do。
