对于王源的入选:《时代》杂志说,王源并不是那种“纹着纹身的流行音乐偶像”,但这丝毫不影响TFBOYS的影响力:
With lyrics like “polish your leather shoes, put on a suit … arrive at every place with head held high,” Wang is not exactly the tattooed bad boy of Chinese pop. But that hasn’t stopped his singing trio, TFBoys, from ruling the charts. Since its founding four years ago, TFBoys has amassed more than 20 million fans on the Twitter-like microblog Weibo and reportedly sells some $17 million worth of branded merchandise every month.
唱着“皮鞋擦亮,换上西装……昂首到达每一个地方”的歌词,王源并不是那种纹着纹身的坏男孩形象的流行偶像。但这并不影响王源所在的三人组合TFBOYS称霸各类排行榜。组合成立四年以来,TFBOYS的微博粉丝达到2000万,据说他们每月带动1700万美元的周边品牌商品的销售。
除了作为TFBOYS组合中的一员,王源本人还参演过电影、电视剧,还曾被任命为联合国儿童基金会青年教育使者。
王源出演《青云志》
And Wang, who goes by the English name Roy, is poised for even greater success: As a solo act, he has also appeared in a bevy of movie and television roles, and was appointed a UNICEF Special Advocate for Education.
王源的英文名是Roy,他正向更大的成功迈进。他曾独自出演过一些电影和电视剧,并曾被任命为联合国儿童基金会青年教育使者。
今年年初,王源受邀在纽约联合国总部出席联合国经社理事会2017青年论坛(ECOSOC Youth Forum 2017)。
会上,王源作了2分钟左右的英文发言,呼吁关注优质教育,自信淡定,向世界传达中国青年的声音,赢得了与会者的掌声。
演讲结束,王源松了口气,全场与会者鼓掌

王源在演讲中说道:
My passion for 2030 is that every young person can access good quality education, girls have the same potential to achieve amazing things as boys.
我期望在2030年,每个年轻人都能获得优质教育。女孩和男孩一样,都有潜力创造精彩。

除了王源,双语君(微信ID:Chinadaily_Mobile)再为大家介绍几位榜单上的青少年,看看人家的十来岁都在做什么。
演技爆棚的米莉·波比·布朗
Millie Bobby Brown, 13
凭借大热剧集《怪奇物语》(Stranger Things)中的Eleven一炮而红的小演员米莉·波比·布朗(Millie Bobby Brown),是上榜年龄最小的孩子之一,年仅13岁。
看过《怪奇物语》的朋友都知道,这部剧情节紧凑、科幻悬疑引人入胜,人物智商集体在线,小演员们秒杀流量明星的精彩演技更是让人惊喜连连。
而这一众小演员中人气最高的当属米莉·波比·布朗,演技炸裂,圈粉无数。
《时代》评语写道:
She plays Eleven, a mysterious girl — part science experiment, part prodigy, part awkward teen — who uses telekinesis to ward off evil.
她饰演神秘女孩小十一,一个科学实验爱好者、天才少女和别扭青少年的结合体,她能用心里遥感驱走恶魔。
But there's remarkable nuance in Brown's performance, the kind that is able to convey melancholy beneath magic. It has made Eleven the standout character on a show brimming with them.
但布朗的演绎有着令人惊叹的细腻微妙之感,能够在魔力之下传递出忧郁气质。这使得小十一在这部演技出众的剧集中脱颖而出。
Brown's own profile has risen as well. Since the show's July 2016 debut, the British actress has rapped at the Golden Globes, signed with IMG Models and appeared on the covers of Entertainment Weekly, InStyle and more.
布朗本人的知名度也迅速攀升。自《怪奇物语》2016年7月播出以来,这位英国小演员已经在金球奖上唱过rap,和顶级模特公司IMG Models签约,登上《娱乐周刊》、《 InStyle》等杂志封面。
One secret to Brown's success? Not overthinking her craft. “Eleven is part of me and always will be. I don't try with her,” she told TIME during a Stranger Things set visit earlier this year. “I don't even know my lines for today's scene … and that's what makes it so instinctual.”
她的成功秘诀是什么? 不刻意雕琢。今年初她在《怪奇物语》片场接受《时代》采访时说:“小十一就是我的一部分,永远都是。我不用太努力去演她。我现在甚至还不知道今天这场戏的台词……这样演出来才更像是出于本能和直觉。”
超模新星凯雅·杰柏
Kaia Gerber, 16
模特界升起的一颗冉冉新星凯雅·杰柏(Kaia Ge 40 37926 40 15287 0 0 3916 0 0:00:09 0:00:03 0:00:06 3915rber)也榜上有名。
凯雅·杰柏是传奇超模辛迪·克劳馥(Cindy Crawford)的女儿,年仅16岁,身高已超过180cm。
母女两好像一个模子刻出来的。
除了拥有天生的超模身段,她的五官精致、台步佳、节奏感强、气场压人,小姑娘前途不可估量!
对了,她还有个颜值超高的哥哥Presley,也是模特。
来看看《时代》对她的评语:
The daughter of legendary supermodel Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber has clearly inherited her mother's fashion savvy.
传奇超模辛迪·克劳馥和兰德·杰柏的女儿显然继承了母亲的时尚触感。
Since gracing the cover of Vogue Paris with her mom at 14, Gerber has made a name for herself as a high fashion model and snagged campaigns for major brands like Versace and Alexander Wang.
自从14岁与母亲登上《Vogue Paris》的封面,杰柏就一炮而红成为高级时尚模特,拿下范思哲、亚历山大·王等著名品牌的代言活动。
And in 2017 Gerber became one of the most in-demand runway models at New York Fashion Week, walking in more than a dozen high-profile shows during her first year on the catwalk.
2017年,杰柏还成为纽约时装周上最炙手可热的走秀模特,虽然这是她第一年出现在T台秀场,但已经走了十多场备受瞩目的时装秀。
演艺圈上榜的熟面孔还有贝克汉姆和维多利亚的儿子,18岁的布鲁克林(Brooklyn Beckham)。
深受大家喜爱的童星范宁(Elle Fanning)也上榜了。
她3岁就开始演戏,在《我是山姆》(I Am Sam)中演自己姐姐的小时候。
保护蜜蜂的小天使
Mikaila Ulmer, 13
为了保护频临灭绝的蜜蜂,厄尔默卖起了蜂蜜口味的柠檬水。她的产品已遍布美国食品超市的货架。
Like most kids her age, Ulmer used to hate bees. "I absolutely despised anything that buzzed," she says. But shortly after she was stung, twice, in 2009, the Texas native developed a fascination with them.
厄尔默与同龄人一样,曾经很讨厌蜜蜂。她说:“我原来真的很烦所有嗡嗡作响的东西”。2009年被蜜蜂蛰了两次以后,她开始对蜜蜂产生了浓厚兴趣。
That's when she learned that honeybees are critical to the ecosystem, and also going extinct. So Ulmer decided to help — with lemonade. Using her great grandmother's recipe, Ulmer made a blend, sweetened with local honey, to sell at community business fairs, donating 10% of her profits to honeybee advocate groups.
她开始了解到濒临灭绝的蜜蜂其实对生态环境至关重要。为了保护蜜蜂,这个德州女孩决定去卖柠檬水。厄尔默利用曾祖母的配方,在柠檬中混合了当地蜂蜜,把酸甜的柠檬水卖给社区市场,并拿出盈利的10%捐赠给蜜蜂保护组织。
到了2014年,厄尔默的这份副业已蒸蒸日上。她创办了Me & Bees柠檬水品牌,打入了全美300多家食品超市。此外,厄尔默还运营着非盈利组织健康蜂房基金会(Healthy Hive Foundation),向公众普及蜜蜂面临的生存挑战。
众筹小能手
Salvador Gómez Colón, 15
飓风“玛利亚”肆虐后,萨瓦多·古美·科龙的家园遭受重创,这位众筹小能手带领当地居民们呼唤援手、寻找光明。
飓风“玛利亚”席卷美国属地波多黎各后,全岛电力设施被毁,很多社区一年之内难以恢复供电,这其中就包括科龙的家圣胡安社区。灾难后科龙的家一片狼藉,甚至粮食也开始限量供给(his family started to ration food),科龙和邻居们被恐惧笼罩着。
"Then I asked myself, How could I give people hope?" he says. The answer: Light and Hope for Puerto Rico, a Generosity campaign he started to raise money for solar lamps, hand-operated washing machines and other supplies for his neighbors in need.
“慢慢地我开始问自己,怎么给大家带来希望”。于是 Colón 发起了“波多黎各的光明和希望”公益活动,众筹购买社区所需的太阳能路灯、洗衣机和其他所需物资。
In four days, he raised $36,000; the total now stands at $75,000 and counting. Colón estimates that the money will be able to help at least 1,000 people. But he knows it's only a start — and that the world should remember Puerto Rico still needs aid.
四天之内,他就筹集了3.6万美元,目前总额已达7.5万美元并且还在增长。已筹资金可以用来帮助至少1000名受灾者,但科龙认为这才刚开始,应让大家知道波多黎各还需要更多援助。
为难民教育奔走的少女
Muzoon Almellehan, 19
她是联合国儿童基金会最年轻的亲善大使,为数百万难民儿童争取上学机会。
For the millions of children living in refugee camps, the outlook is bleak: only half are enrolled in primary school and less than a quarter in secondary school, which severely limits their upward mobility.
对于数百万生活在难民营里的儿童来说,他们的前途是黯淡无光的,只有一半的人有机会上小学,能上中学的不到四分之一,这严重阻碍了他们继续向上发展。
"They don't have many options," says Almellehan, who experienced these conditions firsthand after she fled Syria for Jordan in 2013. Now she's fighting to change that.
2013年,阿尔美勒汗从叙利亚逃难到约旦时就经历了难民的苦难。“他们的选择机会并不多,”她说。如今阿尔美勒汗正在努力改变这一现状。
In June, Almellehan became UNICEF's youngest ever goodwill ambassador. As part of her duties, she travels the world to evangelize the importance of education, especially in places like Chad, where the militant group Boko Haram has forced children out of school.
今年6月,阿尔美勒汗成为联合国儿童基金会最年轻的亲善大使。她的职责之一是周游各地宣传教育的重要性,尤其是乍得,那里的武装组织博科圣地迫使学生辍学。
Ultimately, though, Almellehan plans to return to Syria. "Our country needs a strong generation," she says.
阿尔美勒汗打算最终回到叙利亚。她说:“我们的国家需要强壮的新一代。”
领结小王子
Moziah Bridges, 15
这个15岁的阳光男孩创立了自己的领结品牌,如今已是坐拥150万美元的小商人。
At age 9, Bridges launched his own handmade bow-tie business from his grandmother's kitchen table. Now Mo's Bows is worth about $1.5 million.
布里奇斯9岁时就在祖母的餐桌上开发自己的手工领结生意了,现在他的品牌Mo's Bows价值达到150万美元。
最近,他还和NBA签了一笔大单,不过布里奇斯的野心可不止这么一点。
He plans to expand globally, breaking into new clothing markets (he just released a line of neckties), while working toward graduating from high school and getting his driver's license.
他计划将业务拓展到全球,打入新的服装市场(最近他还推出了一个领带系列),同时他还要忙着从高中毕业,并且拿到驾照。
布里奇斯把自己的成功归功于与生俱来的时尚品味(inborn sense of style),他说自己“去操场都得穿西装打领带”(go to the playground in a suit and tie)。
“My all-time goal is to be a fashion mogul and a good person overall,”says Bridges.
“我的终极理想是成为一个时尚大咖和一个还不错的人,”布里奇斯说。
少年科学家
Krtin Nithiyanandam, 17
Nithiyanandam是印度裔的英国人,这个17岁的少年已经在研究阿尔兹海默症、生物塑料、乳腺癌了,是一个了不起的小科学家。
He may not have graduated high school yet, but Nithiyanandam—whose interest in science was sparked after getting ear surgery as a kid—already has a resume that rivals many professional researchers.
别看Nithiyanandam还没高中毕业,他已经拥有一份不输很多专业研究者的履历了。小时候耳朵做手术的经历让他对科学产生了兴趣。
来看看这个少年科学家的履历:
➤In 2015, when he was only 15, the UK native developed an antibody that can help detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease, a project that earned him a $25,000 award at the Google Science Fair.
2015年,这名15岁的英国少年发现了一种可以检测阿尔兹海默症早期症状的抗体,这个项目为他赢得了谷歌科学大会2.5万美元的奖金。
➤This September, he won another award for creating a bioplastic that can clear wastewater of toxins.
今年9月,他又因为发明出一种可以清理污水中的毒素的生物塑料赢得另外一个奖项。
➤Meanwhile, Nithiyanandam is working on a method to make triple negative breast cancer more treatable.
同时,Nithiyanandam还在研究如何更好地治疗三阴性乳腺癌。
Nithiyanandam找了52家机构才找到愿意支持自己研究阿尔兹海默症的人,因此,他对同龄人的建议是:
Don't be afraid of being rejected.
不要害怕被拒绝。
看完这些有志青年的故事,你的内心是否有所触动?
