Weird Butterfly Ceremony

課文：

At about 16, Thomas had to make a decision. Did he really want to devote his life to acting? Many people in the public “aren’t quite letting you be you because they see you as something special,” he says. Also, bonds make during filming were often broken soon after the project finished. Despite these things, he found enough joy and satisfaction in the work to continue.

let you be you：讓你做自己
bond…broken：深厚情誼消散

Actually, Thomas seems to find joy in difficulty itself. He played 10-year-old Adolf Hitler in a TV movie and a teenage Paul McCartney in Nowhere Boy. The subject of his film Death of a Superhero made it his most challenging film. Still, he found a positive message in its story of a schoolboy with cancer.

challenging：具有挑戰性的、有難度的

Thomas now enjoys roles in Game of Thrones and the upcoming Maze Runner films. Popular as those projects may be, most still recognize him as Sam in Love Actually. Sam seems to run after Thomas, just as he ran through Heathrow airport to his sweetheart.
