最近我也在背这个,所以给你提出以下意见,
1、原文：From Shy Girl to Pop Star
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.
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.‖
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.‖
是这篇吧?
2、以下为中文翻译：
为了这个月的《年轻世界》杂志,我采访了 19 岁的亚洲明星坎迪·王.坎迪告诉我她过去 非常害羞,于是开始唱歌来对付她的羞怯.当她变得更好一些时,她敢于在全班同学面前唱 歌,然后为全校唱歌.现在她不再羞怯了,并且很喜欢在观众面前唱歌.
我问坎迪在她成名之后生活有怎样的不同.她解释说有很多好的事情,如总是能够旅游和认 识新朋友.“我过去在学校里不受欢迎,但是现在我去哪里都受到极大关注.”然而,太多的 关注也可能是一件坏事.“我总是不得不为怎样出现在别人面前而担忧,并且我必须注意我 说的话和我所做的事.还有我不再有很多私人的时间.现在对我来说和朋友们一起闲逛几乎 是不可能的,:因为在我的周围总是有警卫.”
坎迪必须对所有的想出名的那些年轻人说些什么呢?“好,”她开始慢慢地说,“你必须准备 好放弃你的正常生活.你永远无法想象通往成功的路是多么困难.许多次我考虑放弃,但我 继续战斗.你真的需要很多才艺和努力工作才能取得成功.只有很少一部分人做到最好.”
3、仅供参考背诵方法：
（首先,我要告诉你,我们学校每天的英语背诵量差不多有这篇文章两倍的词汇量,刚开始我每天都要背上40分钟,浪费时间,且第二天忘得快,后来总结归纳,发现背这些东西是有方法的!）
（1）先通读几遍英文原文,把不认识的英文生词,句子划出来.
（2）然后对照中文意思再看几遍英文,直到几乎把整个文章的发展脉络整理清楚.
（3）然后朗读原文,在不读错、口齿清楚的情况下要一遍比一遍读的流畅,清晰,直到完全做到“熟读”为止.
（4）分段背.把你认为文章的各个观点,或者是起因经过结果分割开来,最多不要超过5段,如果前三点你都做的很到位,那么一段段就会背的很快,
（5）最后经过逻辑连接,就能很快流畅地背出全文,且效率高!
亲故,看在我这么认真地给你advice,都是亲手打的啊~
