Shawn Mendes wore a huge smile on his face as he took to the beach in Miami on Saturday. The pop star — whose 24th birthday is August 8 — showed off his gym-honed abdomen in cranberry-colored swim trunks.

周六,肖恩·蒙德兹(Shawn Mendes)在迈阿密海滩,脸上挂着灿烂的笑容。这位在8月8日迎来24岁生日的流行歌手穿着蔓越莓色的泳裤,展示着他在健身房练出来的腹肌。


毕竟,不久之前,萌德就因为心理问题取消了本在进行中的世界巡演。



就像你们知道的那样,我不得不在过去几周内推迟演出,因为我还没有准备好接受回到巡演路上可能会带来的重重困难。在这次巡演开始时,我非常兴奋能够在疫情休息很长时间后现场演出,但是事实是我没有为在离开这么长时间后的艰难巡演完全做好准备。在和我的团队进行更多的交流以及和一群很棒的健康专家合作后,一切都变得更加明了,我需要一些以前从未有过的个人时间,让我能够脚踏实地,并且以更强的姿态回来。不幸的是,我必须要取消剩下的北美以及英国和欧洲的演出。但我会在休息足够之间之后回来,但同时,我也需要把我的健康放在第一位。这不代表我不会再写新的音乐了,我迫不及待在将来的巡演中和你们见面了。我知道你们为了看演出都等待了很久,和你们说这些我真的感到心碎,但我保证,在我足够好后我会立刻回到巡演,我爱你们,谢谢你们对我的支持和这一路以来对我的陪伴。


不是当红歌手第一次取消巡演,此前就有贾斯丁·比伯(Justin Bieber)、席琳·迪翁(Celine Dion)等在内的许多歌手也都曾取消过计划中的世界巡演,身为名人,他们享受着名气带来的关注,但也确实承担着巨大的心理压力。



萌德坦诚,在巡演开始后,因为和家人的分离,他会经常感到孤独和沮丧。


He previously told ET Canada about how touring impacts him emotionally.“There’s always this two-and-a-half-week point — I call it the two-and-a-half-week point — when you’re like, ‘Why am I so lonely and depressed after two and a half weeks? I got to get back home and see my family,'” he said.

他之前曾告诉ET Canada,巡演如何影响他的情绪。“总是有这个两周半的时间点——我称之为两周半的时间点——你会想,‘为什么我在两个半星期后如此孤独和沮丧?我必须回家看看我的家人。”他说。



不仅如此,在社交媒体时代,各种关注也会成为他压力的来源。


Though the singer has made it clear in the past that he enjoys touring, Mendes has said he struggles with other aspects of his pop-star job, including the pressure that comes with being active on social media. 

尽管这位歌手过去曾明确表示他喜欢巡演,但萌德表示,他在身为流行歌星其他方面的挣扎,包括在社交媒体上活跃所带来的压力。



萌德出生在加拿大安大略省,父母都是商人,还有个妹妹。


Shawn Mendes was born and raised in Pickering, Ontario, to Karen Mendes, a real estate agent, and Manuel Mendes, a businessman, who sells bar and restaurant supplies in Toronto. His father is from Algarve, Portugal, while his mother is from England. He has a younger sister named Aaliyah.

肖恩·蒙德兹在安大略省皮克林出生并长大,母亲是房地产经纪人凯伦·蒙德兹,父亲是在多伦多销售酒吧和餐厅用品的商人曼努埃尔·蒙德兹。他的父亲来自葡萄牙的阿尔加维,母亲来自英格兰。他有一个妹妹叫艾丽娅。

萌德从小就很擅长运动和唱歌,加入球队、合唱团,还上了表演课,可以说是早早为进入娱乐圈打好了基础!


Mendes graduated from Pine Ridge Secondary School in June 2016, where he played ice hockey and soccer, joined his high school glee club, and practised his stage presence in acting lessons (leading as Prince Charming at one point). He also auditioned for Disney Channel in Toronto.

蒙德兹于2016年6月从Pine Ridge中学毕业,他在中学时期打冰球和足球,还加入了高乐合唱团,并在表演课上练习了他的舞台表演(还曾演过白马王子),还参加了多伦多迪士尼频道的试镜。

萌德通过看YouTube视频自学了弹吉他,最早也会在YouTube上面发布自己的翻唱视频,直到2013年,萌德开始在Vine上分享自己翻唱歌曲的视频,才开始真正得到关注。


2014年,萌德的音乐才能得到了赏识,并且收获了和唱片公司的正式合约。很快,他就发行了首张EP,不过,他真正走红还是从2015年的专辑“Handwritten”开始的。


Handwritten debuted atop the US Billboard 200, making Mendes one of five artists ever to debut at number one before the age of 18. The single "Stitches" reached number one in the UK and the top 10 in the US and Canada.

“Handwritten”一经发行就登上了美国公告牌专辑榜榜首,使萌德成为五位在18岁之前拿下冠专的艺术家之一。单曲Stitches在英国也登上了榜单第一,在美国和加拿大则排名前十。

作为创作歌手,萌德可以算是无敌高产,几乎每两年就会发新专辑!


His second studio album Illuminate (2016) also debuted at number one in the US, with its singles "Treat You Better" and "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" reaching the top 10 in several countries.  

2016年,他的第二张录音室专辑“Illuminate”也在美国空降第一,单曲Treat You Better和There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back在多个国家进入榜单前十名。



His self-titled third studio album (2018) was supported by the lead single "In My Blood". The album's number one debut in the US made Mendes the third-youngest artist to achieve three number one albums.

2018年,他的第三张同名专辑中主打单曲In My Blood。这张专辑在美国空降第一,使萌德成为历史上第三年轻的获得三张冠军专辑的艺人。


In 2019, he released the hit singles "If I Can't Have You" and "Señorita", with the latter peaking atop the US Billboard Hot 100. His fourth studio album, Wonder (2020), made Mendes the youngest male artist ever to top the Billboard 200 with four studio albums.

2019年,他发行了热门单曲If I Can't Have You和Señorita,后者还登顶美国公告牌单曲榜。2020年,萌德发布第四张录音室专辑“Wonder”,使他成为有史以来拥有四张冠军专辑的最年轻的男艺人。



2019年,21岁的萌德还成功入榜福布斯前100名,成为年纪最小的入围者。


There’s nothing holding Shawn Mendes back: he’s the youngest entertainer on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list. The newcomer clocked $38 million in pretax income from the period between June 2018 to June 2019.

没有什么能阻止肖恩·蒙德兹:他是福布斯榜单上最年轻的艺人。这位新人在2018年6月至2019年6月期间的税前收入为3800万美元。



The pop heartthrob lands the No. 98 spot on our ranking thanks mostly to a strong showing on the road. He played just over two dozen festivals across the country before embarking on the European leg of Shawn Mendes The Tour in March. Mendes played 27 European shows within our scoring period, grossing some $700,000 per stop.

这位流行明星在排名中位居第98位,主要归功于在巡演上的强劲表现。在三月份开始的欧洲巡演之前,他在全国参加了几十场音乐节。蒙德兹在我们的计算周期内进行了27场欧洲演出,每场总收入约为70万美元。



在个人生活方面,萌德一直在与困扰自己的焦虑作斗争,并且对于这件事十分坦诚。


Mendes has been open about his struggles with anxiety, which he disclosed publicly through "In My Blood", a track from his third studio album. He declared that he had been undergoing therapy in order to help him deal with the mental health condition.

蒙德兹一直对他与焦虑的斗争持开放态度,他通过第三张录音室专辑中的曲目In My Blood公开透露了这一点。他说自己一直在接受治疗,以帮助他应对心理健康状况。



I spoke to a therapist a couple of times ... Therapy is what works for you. Therapy is listening to music and running on the treadmill, therapy is going to dinner with your friends—it's something that distracts you, that helps you heal and so it just depends on what you think therapy is. I made a conscious effort to be more connected to the people in my life. I found I was closing myself off from everybody, thinking that would help me battle it then realizing the only way I was going to battle it was completely opening up and letting people in.

我和治疗师谈过几次......治疗对你有用。治疗就是听着音乐在跑步机上跑步,是和你的朋友共进晚餐——它会分散你的注意力,帮助你康复,所以这取决于你认为治疗是什么。我有意识地努力与我生活中的人建立更多的联系。我发现我把自己和所有人隔离开来,以为这会帮助我与之抗争,然后我意识到与之抗争的唯一方法就是完全敞开心扉,并让人们进入。 


个人感情方面,萌德最广为人知的就是2019年和同样身为当红歌手的卡米拉·卡贝洛(Camila Cabello)之间的恋情,两人之间的第一次合作可以追溯到2015年。



In June 2019, he dropped his steamy and sultry single titled 'Señorita' with Camila Cabello. The single was a big hit among the audience and the collaboration was much loved. Both singers had previously collaborated in 2015 for a song titled 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'.

2019年6月,萌德发布了与Camila Cabello合作的魅力四射的单曲Señorita。这首歌大受听众欢迎,很多人都喜欢这两人之间的合作。两位歌手此前曾在2015年合作过一首名为I Know What You Did Last Summer的歌曲。



在热门单曲Señorita发行一个月后,两人的恋情正式公开。


In July 2019, the duo announced their steamy relationship in public. On July 29, Mendes and Cabello made headlines when they were spotted locking lips in the ocean in Miami. In August 2019, the couple was caught on camera sharing a steamy kiss at Mendes' 21st birthday party in Brooklyn, New York. Cabello later declared her love for her boyfriend on Instagram, writing, "Happy birthday to this magical human, I love you!!!!"

2019年7月,两人公开宣布了他们的亲密关系。7月29日,蒙德兹和卡贝洛在迈阿密海滩被拍到了接吻,并且成为头条新闻。2019年8月,这对情侣被拍到在纽约布鲁克林的蒙德兹21岁生日派对上热吻。卡贝洛后来在Instagram上表达了对男友的爱,并写道:“祝这个魔法般的人生日快乐,我爱你!”



2019年的全美音乐奖上,俩人的表演更是火花四射!

On their second anniversary in July 2021, the Canadian singer shared a kissing photo with his love while in the Caribbean. 

2021年7月的两周年纪念日,这位加拿大歌手分享了和爱人在加勒比海接吻的照片。



两人还一起出席了2021年的Met Gala红毯活动。


In September 2021, the duo walked on the red carpet of the Met Gala together as a couple and couldn't keep their hands off each other.

2021年9月,两人以情侣的身份一起走在Met Gala的红地毯上,紧握双手。



但最后,这段大张旗鼓的恋情还是走向了终结,两人都承认,这段过于公开的恋爱让他们感到很大压力。


In November 2021, the former couple shocked their fans when they announced their breakup via Instagram after dating for over two years.

2021年11月,这对情侣在约会两年多后通过Instagram宣布分手,粉丝们都感到震惊。



“大家好,我们决定结束我们的浪漫关系,但作为人类,我们对彼此的爱比以往任何时候都更加强烈,我们以最好的朋友开始了我们的关系,并将继续成为最好的朋友。我们非常感谢你们一直以来的支持。卡米拉和肖恩。”


但在分手之后,两人还是被拍到一起遛狗,或许现在两人真的已经释怀,恢复了曾经的朋友关系。


In January 2022, Mendes and Cabello reunited in Miami, two months after they split up for a walk in the park with their dog Tarzan.

2022年1月,蒙德兹和卡贝洛在迈阿密团聚,两个月后,他们和狗狗Tarzan在公园散步。

在和卡妹约会之前,萌德似乎还曾经短暂地和海莉·比伯Hailey Bieber)约会过(当然人家那时候还没有情系小贾啦)。


In 2017, Mendes dated model Hailey Bieber and they were caught kissing at an MTV EMAs afterparty. They then walked the red carpet at the 2018 Met Gala together. Despite the dating rumors, Shawn stated that they were only friends. 

2017 年,蒙德兹与模特海莉·比伯约会,他们在MTV EMA的派对后被拍到接吻。然后,他们一起走上了2018年Met Gala的红地毯。尽管有约会谣言,肖恩表示他们只是朋友。



现在,萌德似乎也已经有了新的恋情。


Now, Mendes is rumored to be dating YouTuber and influencer Hitomi Mochizuki, 24, she has over 400K followers.

现在,据传蒙德兹正在与24岁的油管博主和网红Hitomi Mochizuki约会,她拥有超过40万粉丝。
