From Shy Girl to Pop Star 从害羞的女孩到流行歌星
For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. 为了这个月的《青年世界》杂志,我采访了19岁的亚洲流行歌明星王坎迪。Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. 坎迪告诉我,她过去真的很害羞,于是她开始唱歌来对付她的害羞。 As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the who Unit4 I used to be afraid of the dark
As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. 当她变得好一点的时候,她敢在全班同学面前唱歌,后来为全校同学唱歌。
Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. 现在她不再害羞了,并且她喜欢在众人面前唱歌。
2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. 我问坎迪成名之后的生活有何不同。
She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. 她解释说有很多事情,比如可以一直旅游和结交新朋友。 “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” “过去我在学校不是很受欢迎,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. “我总是担心我在别人看来表现如何,并且不得不注意我所说的或所做的。 And I don’t have much private time anymore. 另外，我不再有很多私人时间了。
Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.” 现在与朋友们闲逛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? 坎迪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. 真的需要很多天赋和努力的工作，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。”
