Sir Roger Moore, best known as the third actor to play James Bond, has sadly died aged 89.

　　曾七度饰演詹姆斯·邦德的演员罗杰·摩尔爵士逝世，享年89岁。

　　His official Twitter account confirmed the news revealing he’d passed away following a “short but brave battle with cancer”.

　　摩尔的推特官方账号确认了这一消息，表示他在去世前“与癌症病魔展开顽强斗争，时间短暂，勇气可嘉”。

　　"The love with which he was surrounded in his final days was so great it cannot be quantified in words alone,"the message, signed by his three children, adds.

　　这条消息得到了摩尔三名子女的签字确认，接着写道：“弥留之际，摩尔爵士的生活仍然充满了爱，这份爱如此深切，仅用言语实难表达。”

　　A private funeral will be held for the star in Monaco.

　　摩尔的私人葬礼将在摩纳哥举行。

　　Beyond being the longest-serving James Bond with seven 007 films under his belt Sir Roger will also be fondly remembered for his TV work in ‘The Saint’ and alongside Tony Curtis in ‘The Persuaders!’.

　　罗杰·摩尔是007扮演者中任期最长的邦德，先后七次出演007系列电影。此外，他在电视剧《圣徒》中又奉献了精彩表演，还同托尼·柯蒂斯主演了《说服者》。

　　Born in 1927 as an only child to Lily and George Moore, Roger grew up in Stockwell, London. After school he attended the university of Durham but didn’t graduate. He was conscripted for national service in 1946 rising to the rank of Captain.

　　罗杰·摩尔于1927年出生，是摩尔夫妇的独子，在伦敦的斯托克韦尔长大。摩尔高中毕业后进入杜伦大学学习，但于1946年进入军队服役并被授予上校军衔，因而未能从学校毕业。

　　After studying at RADA alongside Lois Maxwell, the future Miss Moneypenny, Moore left to find paid work as an actor and model, before being signed by MGM in 1954. He next signed a studio deal with Warner Bros. but it would be in TV’s ‘Ivanhoe’ where he made his name playing the eponymous hero.

　　后来罗杰·摩尔进入英国皇家戏剧艺术学院学习，他的同学还有日后在邦德系列电影中饰演军情6处M小姐秘书的露易丝·麦克斯维尔。摩尔离开学校后成为了一名演员兼模特，后于1954年和美高梅签下合约。他后来也曾与华纳兄弟公司签约，但真正让他为观众熟知的是电视剧《艾凡略》(又译《劫后英雄传》)中的同名角色。

　　Later his work as suave supercriminal Simon Templar in six series of ‘The Saint’ brought him to the attention of the producers of the James Bond franchise and he went on to play 007 a record seven times.

　　随后摩尔在六部《圣徒》电视剧中成功演绎了老于世故的超级罪犯赛门·邓普勒，他的出彩表演引起了邦德系列电影制片人的注意，摩尔从而创纪录地出演了七部007电影。

　　After Bond, Moore continued acting but in his later years he dedicated his life to charity work as a UNICEF ambassador.

　　不再出演邦德一角后，摩尔仍活跃在屏幕上。晚年的摩尔以联合国儿童基金会大使的身份积极投身慈善事业。

　　Moore’s last tweet on 9 May demonstrated the great man’s good humour even in the face of his illness, with the actor asking who could play him in HBO’s forthcoming Hervé Villechaize (Nick Nack) documentary.

　　尽管重病缠身，这位老戏骨仍然不时显露出自己极佳的幽默感。今年5月9日，摩尔本人发了最后一条推特，调侃HBO即将推出的有关赫夫·维勒查泽的纪录片中自己会由谁来扮演。
