From Shy Girl to Pop Star 从害羞的女孩到流行歌星
1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. 1 在本月的《青年世界》杂志中,我采访了19岁的亚洲流行歌明星肯蒂王。
Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. 肯蒂告诉我,她曾经非常害羞,所有她从事唱歌来应对自己的羞怯。
As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. 当她不再那么羞怯的时候,她敢在全班面前唱歌,然后在全校师生面前唱歌。
Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. 现在她一点儿也不害羞了,她喜欢在人群面前唱歌。
2 I asked Candy how life was different at er she became famous. 2 我问肯蒂，在她出名后，她的生活与之前是如何不同。
She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. 她解释说,有很多好处,比如可以总是去旅游，结交新的朋友。
“I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of at ention everywhere I go.” “过去，我在学校不怎么受欢迎,但现在无论我走到哪里，我都是万众瞩目的。”
However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. 然而,过多的关注也不是一件多好的事情。
“I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. “我一直担心我在别人看来表现如何,我必须非常小心我说的或做的一切。
And I don’t have much private time anymore. 另外，我没有太多的私人时间了。
Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.” 与朋友们外出，现在对我来说几乎是不可能的,因为我周围总是有保镖。”
3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? 肯蒂对所有那些想出名的年经人要说什么呢？
“Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. “嗯,”她慢慢地开始说,“你必须准备好要放弃你的正常生活。
You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. 你永远无法想象成功的道路是多么的困难。
Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. 很多次我想放弃,但是我都坚持住了。
You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. 真的需要很多才能和努力工作，你才能成功。
Only a very small number of people make it to the top.” 只有极少数的人能做到最好。”
