From Shy Girl to Pop Star 翻译：从害羞女孩到流行歌手

For this month's Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she's not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. 翻译：本月的《世界青年》杂志，我采访了19岁的亚洲流行歌手王坎迪。坎迪告诉我，她过去真的很害羞，于是她开始从事唱歌事业以应对她的害羞。当她转好的时候，她敢于在全班同学面前唱歌，然后又对着整个学校。现在，她一点也不害羞了，而且还喜欢在人群面前唱歌。

I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. 'I didn't use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go. 'However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. 'I always have to worry about how I appear to others, and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don't have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me. ' 翻译：我问坎迪在她成名之后，生活有何不同。她解释说有许多的好事，比如能够去旅行以及总是能认识新朋友。“我过去在学校并不受欢迎，但是现在无论我到哪里，总是被人关注。”然而，过多的关注也可能是件坏事。“我总是得担心我是如何出现在别人面前的，我还得非常小心我说什么或做什么。我完全没有太多的私人时间。现在与朋友们外出对我来说几乎不再可能，因为老有保安守在我的周围。”

What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous?' Well, 'she begins slowly, 'you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top. ' 翻译：坎迪必须对所有那些想成名的年轻人说点什么？“嗯，”她慢慢地开始说道，“你必须准备好放弃你的正常生活。你可能无法想象成功的道路到底有多艰难。许多次我都想放弃，但我奋力坚持了下来。你确实需要许多天分并且下苦工才可以成功。只有极少数人能够成就大事业。”
