While you’ve probably seen at least one of his movies, you might be surprised to find out that he actually started out as a rapper. At 16 years old, Smith was trying to make it as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. After he teamed up with Jeff Townes, known as DJ Jazzy Jeff, his career took off. Unlike other rappers, Smith kept his songs free of curse words and focused on fun, storytelling raps. The pair’s second album won them the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance. Smith went on to star in the hit show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which ran for six seasons. Following his television success, Smith started playing small roles in movies. His big break came when he costarred in the cop film Bad Boys in 1995. Since then, Smith has become one of the most well-known names in Hollywood. He has acted in a huge variety of films and earned Oscar nominations for his leading roles in Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness. 五十一歲的威爾．史密斯以多部電影和開朗性格聞名，是好萊塢的傳奇人物。雖然你可能至少看過一部他的電影，但你可能會很驚訝發現他一開始其實是一名饒舌歌手。 十六歲時，史密斯試著用「新鮮王子」這個名字以饒舌歌手身分出道。在和傑夫．托尼斯（人稱DJ Jazzy Jeff）搭檔合作後，他的事業就飛黃騰達起來。和其他饒舌歌手不同，史密斯的歌曲不帶髒話，並且專注在好玩、說故事的饒舌歌曲上。這兩人的第二張專輯為他們贏得有史以來第一個葛萊美最佳饒舌表演獎。史密斯接著主演了熱門節目《新鮮王子妙事多》，該劇共播出了六季。 史密斯在電視節目演出成功後開始在電影中演出小角色。他在一九九五年獲得大好機會，共同主演了警察電影《絕地戰警》。在那之後，史密斯就成為好萊塢最赫赫有名的人物之一。他演過各式各樣的電影，並以《拳王阿里》和《當幸福來敲門》獲得奧斯卡最佳男主角獎提名。 Recently, Will Smith appeared in Disney’s Spies in Disguise as well as the live-action Aladdin film as the Genie. Audiences loved his funny, hip-hop take on the beloved character. In addition to this, he starred in Ang Lee’s Gemini Man, playing both 50- and 23-year-old versions of himself. When he’s not on the set, Smith spends time with his wife and children. He often uploads videos featuring his family on his YouTube channel, which has over six million subscribers. One of his channel’s videos documented his 50th birthday, which he celebrated by bungee jumping from a helicopter over the Grand Canyon. His goal was to raise money and awareness for Education Cannot Wait, a project by the nonprofit organization Global Citizen. Smith and his family do their best to give back, often through the Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation. Over a career that has taken him from the music scene to the small and silver screens, Smith has established himself as one of the biggest stars of his day. Now heading into his 35th year in the business, Smith continues to charm audiences around the world. 最近，威爾．史密斯出現在迪士尼的《變身特務》以及真人電影《阿拉丁》中飾演精靈。觀眾喜愛他對這個討喜角色風趣又有嘻哈風格的詮釋。除此之外，他在李安的《雙子殺手》中，飾演五十歲和二十三歲的自己。 史密斯不在片場時都花時間陪妻兒。他經常上傳以家人為主的影片到他的YouTube頻道上，該頻道有超過六百萬名訂閱者。他頻道中有一支影片記錄了他的五十歲生日，他從一架飛越大峽谷上空的直升機上高空彈跳來慶祝。他的目的是要為「教育不能等」基金募款並讓世人認識它，這是非營利組織「全球公民」的一項計畫。史密斯和家人經常透過「威爾與潔達．史密斯家庭基金會」盡力來回饋社會。 從音樂界到電視、電影界的職業生涯中，史密斯確立自己成為一代巨星。現在要邁入這個行業第三十五年，史密斯仍持續讓世界各地的觀眾為之傾倒。 73 Chinese Translation & Answer Key 中文翻譯與解答

He’s one of the most popular music producers in the world, but few have ever seen his face. The mystery surrounding Marshmello’s identity was, initially, one of the reasons for his popularity. Even famous DJ Skrillex was obsessed with finding out who Marshmello was. Marshmello’s look is defined by his marshmallow-shaped helmet that has its own air-conditioning and lighting system. A bright, all-white suit completes his marshmallow-themed look. As for the name, it comes from a comment a friend made, which described his music as “mellow” and easy to listen to. The multitalented Marshmello is not just a DJ but also a producer and a songwriter. He stays independent from record labels so that he’s free to make and release music the way he wants to. That hasn’t hurt his bottom line, though. He has worked together with some of the biggest names in pop music, like Bastille on the track “Happier,” and Selena Gomez on “Wolves.” His live shows can earn him over $100,000 per performance. 他去年賺了超過四千萬美元但仍然拒絕告訴任何人他的名字。他是世界上最受歡迎的音樂製作人之一，但很少人看過他的臉。一開始，棉花糖身分神祕是他受歡迎的原因之一。甚至連著名的DJ史奇雷克斯都熱衷於查明棉花糖是誰。 棉花糖的外表是由他那頂棉花糖形狀的頭盔所界定，這頂頭盔有自己的空調和照明系統。一身明亮、全白的服裝讓他以棉花糖為主題的外表變得完整。至於名字則是來自一位朋友的評論，說他的音樂柔和且輕鬆悅耳。 多才多藝的棉花糖不僅是一名DJ，還是音樂製作人和詞曲作者。他獨立於唱片公司之外，這樣就可以用他想要的方式自由製作和發行音樂。不過，那無損於他的財務盈虧。他曾和流行樂中幾位鼎鼎有名的大明星合作，如巴士底樂團的歌曲〈Happier〉以及席琳娜．戈梅茲的〈狼群〉。他的現場演出每場可為他賺入超過十萬美元。 Nobody has been able to confirm Marshmello’s real name, and the man in white has been cagey in interviews―often only indicating yes or no or typing an answer on his laptop. Marshmello first appeared in 2015 and was known for his remixes of popular songs, such as Anne-Marie’s “Friends.” Later, his first album Joytime reached number five on the Billboard US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. The DJ’s biggest success so far was an unusual one. He recorded a 30-minute concert within the online video game Fortnite. With their weapons turned off, players could dance, fly, and dodge flying balls while Marshmello played. There was even a special dance that gamers could have their characters perform: the Marsh Walk. Marshmello said he was happy that some people got to experience their first concert in the game. You might imagine that all this attention would go to Marshmello’s head. However, you’ll be happy to hear that the producer is keeping it real. Marshmello tweeted that he would never take off his helmet because he does not want or need fame. His only goal: to create something positive that people can connect with. 沒有人能夠確認棉花糖的真實姓名，而這名穿著一身白的男子在採訪中總是惜話如金——通常只是表示是或否，或是在他的筆電上輸入答案。棉花糖最早在二○一五年出場表演，並以混編流行歌曲聞名，比如安—瑪莉的〈Friends〉。後來他的首張專輯《Joytime》登上美國《告示牌》舞蹈/電子專輯排行榜第五名。 這名DJ到目前為止最成功之處極為特別。他在線上電玩遊戲《要塞英雄》中錄製了一段三十分鐘的音樂會。放下武器，玩家可以在棉花糖演出時跳舞、飛行和玩躲避飛球。玩家甚至可以讓他們的角色表演一種特殊舞蹈：棉花糖走步。棉花糖表示他很高興有些人能在遊戲中體驗到他們的第一場音樂會。 你可能會猜想這些關注會讓棉花糖沖昏了頭。然而，你會很高興聽到這名製作人持續做自己。棉花糖在推特上發文表示他永遠不會拿下頭盔，因為他不想要也不需要名聲。他唯一的目標是創造人們能產生共鳴的正面事物。

The 25-year-old San Francisco native, whose real name is Ari Leff, first found fame in 2015, but he’s been writing music for years. Lauv was interested in music from a young age and started learning the guitar at 11. Shortly after, he decided to try his hand at composing his own music. He wrote constantly about relationships and breakups, baring his soul in deeply personal songs. The irony, of course, is that up till then he himself had never been in a relationship! The young American went on to study music technology at NYU, figuring he’d do his best work behind the scenes. While writing and producing songs for other artists, he came across an interview with the musician Paul Simon. In it, Simon said that his approach to writing songs was a process of uncovering his deepest feelings. From then on, Lauv decided he would use music to explore his personal identity. He adopted the name Lauv, from the Latvian word for “lion,” as a nod to both his mother’s background and his zodiac sign, Leo. 如果歌曲融合電子舞曲節拍、令人難忘的流行樂副歌和充滿感情的歌詞聽起來像是你喜歡的東西，你就會喜歡Lauv的歌。這名二十五歲的舊金山人本名是Ari Leff，他在二○一五年開始成名，但他已經創作音樂好多年了。 Lauv從小就對音樂感興趣，並於十一歲開始學吉他。不久之後，他決定嘗試創作自己的音樂。他經常寫關於感情和分手的歌曲，透過個人歌曲傾訴衷腸。當然，諷刺的是直到那時，他自己從來沒有談過戀愛！ 這名美國年輕人接著到紐約大學學習音樂科技，認為從事幕後工作會表現得最好。在替其他藝人作詞作曲時，他無意間看到音樂人保羅．賽門的訪談。在訪談中，賽門表示他寫歌的方法就是揭露他最深刻感受的過程。從那之後，Lauv決定用音樂來探索個人認同。他取了Lauv這個名字（源自拉托維亞語的「獅子」）來向母親的出身背景和他的星座獅子座致敬。 In 2015, Lauv released his first song “The Other” online. To his surprise, it went viral. Since then, he has signed a record deal, released his debut album, How I’m Feeling, had success on the Billboard charts, and gone on a world tour. It has been a wild ride, but Lauv isn’t stopping yet. He has teamed up with both Troye Sivan on “i’m so tired” and K-pop sensation BTS on “Who.” Lauv is committed to staying true to himself, which means being honest about his struggles with depression and anxiety. He often writes about his emotional state in his songs, but it has also prevented him from writing music at times. That’s why it was important to Lauv to open up about it both in his music and by working with charities to remove the stigma about mental health issues. He hopes that by telling the truth, people will see that this condition isn’t unusual, and other sufferers will feel less alone. With catchy songs that you can identify with, it’s easy to see why Lauv has become such a star. Indeed, there’s a lot to love about Lauv. 二○一五年Lauv在網路上發表他的首支單曲〈The Other〉。令他意外的是，這首歌爆紅了。在那之後，他和一間唱片公司簽約、發行首張大碟《How I’m Feeling》、在美國《告示牌》排行榜取得成功，並進行了世界巡演。這是一趟刺激的旅程，但Lauv還沒有要停下腳步。他和特洛伊．希文合作單曲〈i’m so tired〉，也和名聲大噪的韓國流行音樂天團防彈少年團合作歌曲〈Who〉。 Lauv承諾要真實的做自己，這表示對自己與憂鬱症和焦慮症的奮鬥過程要誠實以對。他經常在歌曲中書寫他的情緒狀態，但有時這也會阻礙他寫歌。那就是為什麼對Lauv來說，要消除這個心理健康問題的汙名，在音樂中以及與慈善機構的合作中能暢所欲言很重要。他希望透過說實話，人們會知道這個健康問題並不罕見，而其他受苦的人也不會感到那麼孤單。 有了讓你產生共鳴的琅琅上口的歌曲，你很容易就能明白為什麼Lauv會成為這樣的一位明星。的確，Lauv有很多值得喜愛的地方。 Live Interactive English Live互動英語 NO. 230 June 2020年6月號 4 Live關鍵時事新聞 9 焦點話題 10 大師名作選 Hearts and Hands 〈心與手〉 〈心與手〉為美國短篇小說大師歐．亨利（O.

To play that part, you need someone who is courageous, beautiful, and caring. Luckily, Gal Gadot matches that description perfectly. With her long brown hair and athletic build, she certainly looks the part. Born in Israel, Gadot achieved early success thanks to her looks, winning the Miss Israel competition when she was 18. This victory eventually led to a modeling career, but first she would have to complete her required two-year military service. She took on the challenge with grace, working as an instructor in the Israeli defense force. “You give two or three years, and it’s not about you,” she said in a 2016 interview. ‘You learn discipline and respect.” After beginning her acting career in an Israeli TV show, Gadot made her feature film debut in 2009’s Fast & Furious. She would later star in several entries of the popular franchise. But it was her performance as Wonder Woman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and the heroine’s eponymous film in 2017 that Gadot is best known for. This would turn out to be the role of a lifetime for the Israeli actress. 神力女超人是超級英雄宇宙中最強大的女性角色之一。要飾演那個角色，你需要一位勇敢、美麗和有愛心的人。幸運的是，蓋兒．加朵完全符合那個描述。 她有一頭棕色的長髮和健壯的體態，看起來確實很適合這個角色。加朵出生在以色列，由於外表的緣故很早就獲得成功，十八歲時就贏得以色列小姐選美比賽。這個勝利後來便開啟了她的模特兒生涯，但她得先完成必要的兩年兵役。她優雅地接受挑戰，在以色列國防軍團擔任教官。她在二○一六年的一次採訪中表示：「你付出兩年或三年，這跟你自己無關。你學會紀律和尊重。」 在以色列電視節目中開始她的演藝事業後，蓋兒．加朵在二○○九年的《玩命關頭》中首次演出電影長片。她之後在這個人氣系列作中演出了好幾次。不過，讓她最廣為人知的是她在《蝙蝠俠對超人：正義曙光》以及二○一七年神力女超人同名電影中的演出。結果，對這位以色列女星來說，這會是她一生中最重要的角色。 Wonder Woman broke box office records and turned Gadot into a household name. She became one of the highest-paid actresses globally and landed a spot on Time’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people. Gadot used her fame to work with Pencils of Promise, an organization promoting equal access to education for children. As a mother of two, it should come as no surprise that she is using her fame to raise funds to build schools in underprivileged areas around the world. Recently, Gadot reprised the role that made her famous in the latest Wonder Woman movie, Wonder Woman 1984. However, in addition to her superhero duties, she has started working as a producer with her own production company.

Over a career that has taken him from the squared circle to the silver screen, “The Rock” has entertained countless fans and done his best to give back. Born in California in 1972, Johnson quickly became familiar with the family business: professional wrestling. Both his father and grandfather were wrestling stars, and even his grandmother was involved in wrestling as a promoter. Early on, he participated in football, wrestling, and track at schools in both New Zealand and the United States. After his studies concluded, Johnson decided to play professional football in Canada. Unfortunately, Johnson was cut from his football team just two months into his debut season. Soon after, he followed in his father’s—and grandfather’s—footsteps. He joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1996 as a “sports entertainer,” a term that refers to the WWF’s wrestling matches being more like performance art than actual fights. Fans disliked Johnson at first, but once he assumed the character of “The Rock,” he turned into one of the WWF’s biggest stars. In fact, one of Johnson’s signature phrases, “Smackdown,” became so popular that it was added to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary as a new word! 每位演員的成名之路都不同，但德威恩． 強森走的路卻是其中最獨特的一條。從摔角場到大銀幕的職業生涯中，巨石強森娛樂了無數的粉絲，並竭盡所能地回饋。 強森在一九七二年出生於加州，他很快就熟悉了家族事業：職業摔角。他父親和外祖父都是摔角明星，甚至外祖母也承辦過摔角比賽。早期，他在紐西蘭和美國的學校參加了足球、摔角和徑賽運動。學業完成後，強森決定在加拿大踢職業足球。 可惜，強森加入足球隊第一個賽季才兩個月就被踢出球隊。不久後，他追隨父親和外祖父的腳步。他在一九九六年加入了世界摔角聯盟（WWF）成為一名「體育表演員」，這個詞指的是世界摔角聯盟的摔角比賽比較像是表演藝術，而不是實際搏鬥。摔角迷一開始不喜歡強森，但他一擔任「巨石強森」這個角色後就成了世界摔角聯盟最著名的明星之一。事實上，強森的口頭禪之一Smackdown（擊倒）變得非常熱門，以致於被加進韋伯字典成為新字。 Johnson credits his appearance on the American show Saturday Night Live in the year 2000 with helping him become an actor. Since then, he has gone on to feature in dozens of Hollywood productions, including Get Smart, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and the Fast & Furious series. He can also be seen in Jungle Cruise, based on the Disney ride of the same name. Even though Johnson never made it as a professional football player, he never forgot his football days at his alma mater. In 2007, he and his ex-wife donated one million dollars to the University of Miami to improve its football facilities. Johnson also has a charity, the Dwayne Johnson Rock Foundation, that works with at-risk and terminally ill children. In addition to this, Johnson has his own movie production company, Seven Bucks Productions. The name comes from the amount of money Johnson had left after his stint in Canadian football. But Johnson’s luck sure has changed since then. Last year, he topped Forbes magazine’s list as the world’s highest-paid actor, earning $89.4 million in the previous year. And perhaps more important than his financial success, Johnson’s fellow actors routinely describe him as energetic, focused, and devoted—three qualities that have helped him greatly on his unique path to the top of Hollywood. 強森認為他能成為演員要歸功於在二○○○年參加美國節目《週六夜現場》。從那之後，他陸續主演了數十部好萊塢作品，包括《特務行不行》、《野蠻遊戲：瘋狂叢林》和《玩命關頭》系列電影。他也出現在《叢林奇航》中，這是根據迪士尼同名遊樂設施改編的電影。 雖然強森從未成為職業足球選手，卻從未忘記在母校踢足球的日子。二○○七年，他和前妻捐贈了一百萬美元給邁阿密大學來改善足球設施。強森還有一個慈善機構「巨石強森基金會」，處理處於危險和身染重病孩童相關的工作。 除此之外，強森還有自己的電影製作公司「七塊錢製作」。這個名字來自強森在離開加拿大足球生涯後剩下的錢。但強森的運氣在那以後確實有了不同。去年，他登上《富比世》雜誌全世界最高薪演員排行榜冠軍，前一年賺了八千九百四十萬美元。而或許比財務成功更重要的是，強森的拍片夥伴經常描述他精力充沛、專注且熱衷於工作——這三項特質在他邁向好萊塢巔峰的獨特道路上讓他獲益良多。 Live Interactive English Live互動英語 NO. 231 July 2020年7月號 4 Live關鍵時事新聞 9 焦點話題 10 大師名作選 Charles 〈查爾斯〉 14 食物起源 The Skinny on Sausages 千變萬化的美味香腸 18 日常好用句 I have a frog in my throat. 我喉嚨不舒服。 19 主題式會話 Talking about Cultural Differences 談論文化差異 22 科學知識 The Secret of How Bats Keep Viruses at Bay 蝙蝠百毒不侵的祕密 26 建築趨勢 What’s in a Skyscraper? 與天爭高——摩天大樓進化史 30 克漏字 Have Your Cake . . . and Eat It! 吃飽來塊蛋糕、滿足你的「甜點胃」！ 32 焦點人物 Dwayne Johnson: Far from Rock Bottom 巨石強森：從摔角選手到電影明星 36 文化生活 Are Subtitles Still a Turnoff for Western Audiences? 看不看字幕，東西大不同！ 40 生活情境對話 Ordering Fast Food 速食點餐英語 •英語聽力測驗 44 旅遊好去處 Yellowstone National Park: Mother Nature's Masterpiece 黃石國家公園：大自然的傑作 48 唱歌學英語 Studying English with Songs: Blinding Lights 威肯：〈Blinding Lights〉 49 閱讀策略 Birds of Paradise: Nature's Beauties 天堂鳥：絕美的化身 55 翻譯練習 Translation Practice 翻譯練習 58 社會議題 Political Correctness: A War of Words 政治正確性的論戰 64 電影快報 63 Movie Trailer English 看預告片學英文 66 General English Proficiency Test 全民英檢中級模擬閱讀試題 73 Chinese Translation & Answer Key 中文翻譯與解答

Since arriving in Hollywood from her native Australia 10 years ago, she has been in two dozen movies and is one of the best actresses in Hollywood today. She also founded her own production company and, in 2017, made Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. So what is Robbie’s secret to success? Though her talent is a key factor, it’s her drive and her contributions to reshaping Hollywood for women that have made her stand out. As an actress, Robbie is extremely versatile. In her breakthrough role, she starred as the tough, Brooklyn-accented Naomi LaPaglia in The Wolf of Wall Street, clearly outshining her male costar, Leonardo DiCaprio. Robbie went on to play a wide range of other characters, including Jane Porter, Tarzan’s love interest in The Legend of Tarzan, and Harley Quinn, a crazy, roller-skating psychiatrist, in Suicide Squad. But it wasn’t until 2017, when Robbie played the real-life figure skater Tonya Harding in I, Tonya, that her acting won the hearts of everyone. The movie, which Robbie also produced, earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. 二十九歲的瑪格．羅比有許多值得欽佩之處。自從十年前從家鄉澳洲來到好萊塢後，她已經演出了二十多部電影，是當今好萊塢最優秀的女演員之一。她還創立了自己的製作公司，並在二○一七年成為《時代》雜誌全球百大最具影響力人物。所以羅比成功的祕訣是什麼？雖然她的才華是主要的因素，但讓她脫穎而出的正是她的衝勁以及重塑好萊塢女性形象的貢獻。 作為一名演員，羅比非常多才多藝。在她的突破性角色中，她在《華爾街之狼》裡飾演了粗暴、帶有布魯克林口音的娜歐蜜．拉帕格利亞，顯然比聯袂主演的男星李奧納多．狄卡皮歐還要出色。羅比繼續飾演其他各式各樣的角色，包括珍．波特（《泰山傳奇》中泰山的戀愛對象）以及《自殺突擊隊》裡的哈莉．奎茵（一名瘋狂、穿著溜冰鞋的精神科醫師）。 但直到二○一七年羅比在《老娘叫譚雅》中飾演真實生活中的花式溜冰選手譚雅．哈丁，她的演技才擄獲了大家的心。這部羅比也參與製作的電影為她贏得了奧斯卡最佳女主角的提名。 Growing up, Margot Robbie knew she had to fight her way to the top. She was born on a farm in Queensland, Australia, and her father abandoned the family when Robbie was little, leaving her mother to raise her and her three siblings. While studying drama in high school, Robbie held three jobs to help make ends meet. Later, she got a role in a popular Australian TV soap opera after calling the company multiple times and refusing to take no for an answer. Three years later, she left the show for Hollywood. Besides acting, Robbie has done notable work in film production. With I, Tonya under her belt, Robbie took on new projects such as Birds of Prey, featuring Harley Quinn, and Promising Young Woman, about a tragedy-stricken, vengeance-seeking young woman. It’s not surprising that female characters are the focus of these films. Speaking publicly, Robbie pointed out that many women in Hollywood have to “struggle for the right to earn a living, [and] the right to be heard.” Through acting and film production, Robbie gives women stronger representation in the movie business―and that’s certainly a welcome contribution. 在成長過程中，瑪格．羅比知道她得努力才能爬上顛峰。她出生在澳洲昆士蘭省的一個農場，父親在羅比還小的時候就拋下家庭，留下母親撫養她和三個兄弟姐妹。在中學唸戲劇時，羅比兼了三份差來維持收支平衡。後來，她在一部受歡迎的澳洲電視肥皂劇中獲得一角，是在她打了很多次電話給該公司且不接受拒絕作為回答後。三年後，她離開這個節目前往好萊塢。 除了演戲以外，羅比在電影製作方面也做得有聲有色。由於有《老娘叫譚雅》的經驗，羅比還接下新的電影企劃，像是以小丑女為主角的《猛禽小隊：小丑女大解放》，以及《有希望的年輕女人》，此片是關於一位遭遇不幸而尋求復仇的年輕女子。 這些電影聚焦在女性角色上並不意外。羅比曾公開指出，在好萊塢許多女性得要「為謀生和發表意見的權利奮鬥」。透過演出和電影製作，羅比賦予女性在電影業更深刻的描繪——那無疑是一項令人欣喜的貢獻。

nvvopn Kobe’s Giant Legacy 永遠的小飛俠——懷念科比．布萊恩 Remembering One of Basketball’s All-Time Greats UNIDENTIFIED MALE NBA COMMENTATOR Kobe’s got the Lakers’ last … MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT For basketball, at 6’6, Kobe Bryant wasn’t particularly tall, but by every measure, as a player and a person, he was a giant. Kobe Bean Bryant was born August 23, 1978, the son of former NBA player Joe Bryant. He started playing basketball when he was three, but it was his spectacular high school career at Lower Merion High School just outside Philly that earned him national recognition. He was quickly drafted into the NBA—at the time, the youngest player in the league’s history. UNIDENTIFIED MALE No one talking about any shortness or a weakness in his game. JERRY WEST, FORMER LOS ANGELES LAKERS GENERAL MANAGER Greatness lies ahead for this young man. [I] thought he was gonna be absolutely fantastic. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT The Charlotte Hornets selected Bryant as their 13th pick and immediately traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers. KOBE BRYANT, FORMER NBA PLAYER I think a lot of people … even when I came out of high school, I think people were, kind of, kinda giving me the cold shoulder to begin with, ’cause I think, unfortunately, some people wanted me to fail because I defied the odds. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Bryant would not just beat the odds … UNIDENTIFIED MALE NBA ANNOUNCER Kobe Bryant. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT … in his 20-year career with the Lakers, he would crush them. His amazing talent and fierce, competitive nature made him one of sport’s most famous and decorated athletes. He would win five NBA championships— earning him superstar status with a generation of fans. BASKETBALL FANS Kobe. Kobe. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT He also won two NBA Finals MVP awards and a regular season MVP in 2008. The same year, he won his first Olympic gold medal as a member of the U.S. team. Here he is talking about what that Olympic thrill felt like. KOBE BRYANT, FORMER NBA PLAYER I’m feeling excited. I mean, it’s a great opportunity, and, you know, I think for us to draw the first game playing against the host team is a little tough, but we understand the enthusiasm here in the city and, you know … and we’re proud and just … we really can’t wait to get going. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Bryant would strike Olympic gold again in 2012. He would also earn 18 NBA All-Star selections. It was Bryant who was at the center of one of the NBA’s most memorable games [on] January 22, 2006, when he scored 81 points with the Lakers, defeating Toronto. But there was also controversy. In 2003, he was charged with sexual assault, accused of attacking a 19-year-old hotel employee. The charge would later be dropped; the case [was] settled in civil court. Recovering from adversity would become another Kobe trademark. Bryant refused to admit he was hurt, even when he was—famously shooting free throws after rupturing his Achilles tendon. Time would eventually prove to be his greatest opponent. In the fall of 2015, he announced his plans to retire. The Black Mamba, as he called himself, played his final game [on] April 13, 2016. He did not go quietly. He made a jaw-dropping 60 points on 50 shots in a Lakers win against the Utah Jazz that sent the Los Angeles Staples Center into a frenzy. BASKETBALL FANS Kobe. Kobe. Kobe. Kobe. KOBE BRYANT, FORMER NBA PLAYER The coolest thing is that my kids actually saw me play like I used to play. You know what I mean? It was like, “Whoa, Dad!” I said, “Yeah, I used to do this pretty often.” They’re like, “Really?” Like, “Dude, YouTube it.” MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT His answer that night would tip his hand of the accomplishment for which perhaps he was most proud—being the father of four daughters: 17-year-old Natalia, 13-year-old Gianna, three-year-old Bianka and seven-month-old Capri. Bryant himself said after retirement, he didn’t watch too much basketball, but his daughter Gianna’s love of the game sparked his interest in coaching. KOBE BRYANT, FORMER NBA PLAYER Coaching the kids is fun. It just kind of came out of nowhere because my daughter just decided she wanted to play about two and a half years ago, you know, and, so, [I] started coaching her a little bit, and then she made the … a local all-star team. We really just kinda sit back and let them process things and figure things out ’cause we are playing for the long game of them being the best basketball players they can be, but it’s fun to sit there and watch them hoop. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Father and daughter were on their way to one of Gianna’s games when tragedy struck. Bryant was not just an award-winner on the court. KOBE BRYANT, NARRATOR, “DEAR BASKETBALL” Five … four … three … two … one. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT In 2018, he won an Academy Award for his short film Dear Basketball, based on the poem he wrote when he was retiring from the game. KOBE BRYANT, NARRATOR, “DEAR BASKETBALL” Love you always, Kobe. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Martin Savidge, CNN. 不知名男性NBA球評 柯比拿到湖人隊最後的…… CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 在籃球界，身高六呎六吋的柯比．布萊恩不算特別高，不過從各個角度來看，作為一名球員和一個人，他都是位巨人。 柯比．比恩．布萊恩生於一九七八年八月二十三日，是前NBA球員喬．布萊恩之子。他三歲開始打籃球，不過讓他贏得全國認可的是他在費城郊區的勞爾梅理恩高中亮眼的高中生涯。他很快就被選進了NBA，在當時他是聯盟史上最年輕的球員。 不知名男性 他比賽時，沒有人會講他有任何不足或弱點。 前洛杉磯湖人隊總經理 傑瑞．衛斯特→ 這個年輕人前途無量。我認為他肯定會大放異彩。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 夏洛特黃蜂隊在第十三順位選了布萊恩，並立刻把他交易到洛杉磯湖人隊。 前NBA球員 柯比．布萊恩 我想很多人……即使在我剛踏出高中時，我想人們有點，一開始有點刻意無視我，因為很不幸地，我覺得有些人希望我失敗，因為我克服了萬難。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 布萊恩不只克服了萬難…… 不知名男性NBA司儀 柯比．布萊恩。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 ……他在湖人隊二十年的職業生涯中，他粉碎了障礙。他驚人的天賦和強悍的競爭本色讓他成為運動界最知名、成績斐然的運動員之一。他贏得五座NBA冠軍，使他搏得超級巨星的地位和一整個世代的球迷。 籃球迷 柯比。柯比。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 他也贏過兩次NBA總決賽最有價值球員獎，並在二○○八年拿下例行賽最有價值球員。同年，他以美國隊成員的身分贏得首面奧運金牌。以下是他談到對奧運激情的感受。 前NBA球員 柯比．布萊恩 我覺得很興奮。這是很棒的機會，我想對我們來說，第一場比賽對上地主隊是有點辛苦，不過我們明白這座城市的熱情，我們自信滿滿，而且就是……我們真的等不及要開打了。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 布萊恩在二○一二年再度贏得奧運金牌。他也十八度入選NBA全明星隊。 二○○六年一月二十二日——這是NBA最令人難忘的比賽之一，布萊恩是這場比賽的焦點，他為湖人隊拿下八十一分，擊敗多倫多隊。 不過也起過爭議。 二○○三年，他被控性侵，遭指控攻擊一名十九歲的旅館員工。這項指控後來被撤銷；該案件在民事法庭和解。 在困境中重生成為柯比的另一個標誌。布萊恩不願承認自己受傷，即便事實如此──為人所知的是他在跟腱斷裂後還投了罰球。最終證明，時間是他最大的對手。 二○一五年秋天，他宣布了退休計畫。黑曼巴──這是他給自己的稱號──在二○一六年四月十三日打了自己最後一場的比賽。他可不是悄然離去。在這場湖人隊擊敗猶他爵士隊的比賽中，他以令人瞠目結舌的五十次投籃、獨得六十分的成績讓洛杉磯史坦波中心陷入瘋狂。 籃球迷 柯比。柯比。柯比。柯比。 前NBA球員 柯比．布萊恩 最酷的是我的孩子其實有看到我像以前打球那樣打球。你懂我的意思嗎？他們說：「哇，老爸！」我說：「對啊，我以前還蠻常這樣打的。」他們會說：「真的嗎？」我就說：「小傢伙，去YouTube上看看啊。」 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 他當晚的回答透漏了也許是他最驕傲的成就——作為四個女兒的父親：十七歲的納塔莉雅、十三歲的吉安娜、三歲的碧安卡和七個月大的卡普里。 布萊恩自己說退休後他不太看籃球賽，不過他女兒吉安娜對籃球的熱愛激起了他當教練的興趣。 前NBA球員 柯比．布萊恩 指導孩子很好玩。這有點像是意外的插曲，因為我女兒在大約兩年半前才決定她想打球，所以我開始教她一點點，然後她進了地方上的全明星隊。 我們真的只是輕鬆看待，讓他們去處理，把事情搞懂，因為我們要打的是一場長久的比賽，要讓他們盡其所能成為最好的籃球員，不過坐在那邊看他們投籃是挺好玩的。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 悲劇發生時，這對父女是在前往吉安娜一場比賽的路上。 布萊恩不只在球場上得獎。 《親愛的籃球》旁白 柯比．布萊恩 五……四……三……二……一。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 二○一八年他以自製短片《致親愛的籃球》贏得一座奧斯卡金像獎，這部片是以他退休時寫的一首詩為藍本。 《親愛的籃球》旁白 柯比．布萊恩 永遠愛你的，柯比。 CNN特派員 馬汀．塞維吉 本台記者馬汀．塞維吉的報導。 政治 A Presidential Trial 一張圖搞懂川普彈劾案 Looking Back at the Events That Led to Donald Trump’s Impeachment 美國眾議院通過表決，以濫權和妨礙國會調查兩項罪名彈劾總統川普，使他成為美國歷史上第三位遭彈劾的總統。CNN簡要回溯此事件的前因後果。 體育 Kobe’s Giant Legacy 永遠的小飛俠──懷念柯比．布萊恩 Remembering One of Basketball’s All-Time Greats NBA傳奇球星柯比．布萊恩1月26日因直升機意外逝世，震驚全球，各界名人和球迷紛紛表達哀悼及不捨。本文回顧他職涯中的重要里程碑。 科技 The Bro-Bot 人工智慧未來進行式──多功能社交機器人 The Use of 5G Technology in Powering Social Robots 5G世代來臨，各種應用也如雨後春筍般興起。瑞典一家公司推出一款社交機器人，利用超高網速，讓人工智慧能夠更即時、準確地做出反饋，與人類互動。 科技 Food Mission 火星任務的關鍵──太空人吃什麼？ The Difficulties of Feeding Astronauts on a Mars Voyage 人類太空任務的時間和距離越來越長，成功與否的關鍵之一是——太空人怎麼填飽肚子？本文帶各位一窺太空食物的演進及發展的困難點。 經濟 Europe’s Unity 歐盟的運作、整合與未來 Inside the Workings of the European Union 成立超過60年的歐盟是世界上最大的貿易集團，也曾是全球最大的經濟體，如此龐大的經濟同盟是怎麼整合、運作、做決策的呢？ 科技 Gadgets & Gizmos 2020消費性電子大展 聚焦科技新亮點 What Is on Offer at 2020’s Consumer Electronics Show 全球規模最大的年度消費性電子大展在美國拉斯維加斯登場。2020年最新、最吸睛的科技齊聚一堂，快來一睹為快！ 人物 The Mystery of Melania 最神秘、另類的美國第一夫人——梅蘭妮亞．川普 Looking at the Public Image of the United States’ First Lady 美國第一夫人梅蘭妮亞．川普上任三年多，仍維持一貫的低調作風，與性格鮮明、強勢的唐納．川普形成強烈對比。 趣聞 Share, Actually 2019 網路發燒話題大集合 The Hottest Viral Trends of 2019 2019年最熱最夯的網路議題你跟上了嗎？從炸雞爭霸戰、世界最讚蛋、〈鯊魚寶寶〉到瓶蓋挑戰，一次盤點報你知！ 藝文 The Cinematic Question 經典電影中的影像敘事魅力 The Cinematography and Impact of Classic Movies 一部電影是否經典，答案因人而異。知名影評人提出幾個評比要素，來看看你喜愛的電影是否符合這些條件。 商業 RealReal or FakeFake? 二手精品商機夯 上網購買風險高？ The Problems with Reselling Luxury Goods Online 美國二手精品轉售平台RealReal去年風光上市，卻接連爆出假貨疑雲，該公司的鑑識團隊能否做好把關，有待時間證明。 CNN 全球瞭望 Iran Launches Missiles at US Bases in Iraq 伊朗對美軍伊拉克基地發射飛彈 Australia Devastated by Bushfires 澳洲森林大火肆虐 Recap of the Golden Globes 金球獎精采看點總回顧 CNN主編教你唸 科技公司 CNN新聞片語 全方位搞懂CNN The Powerhouse behind the NBA 大衛．史騰――把NBA 送上國際舞台的幕後推手

What are you reading? H: It’s a biography of Grace Hopper. She helped invent one of the first computer languages. D: I’ve never seen you read nonfiction before. When did you take it up? H: You’re joking, right? I read nonfiction all the time. D: Like what? I only own a cookbook and dictionary. H: I really enjoy reading books about travel. D: Do you mean travel guides? H: No. I’m talking about travel journals. Besides useful information, they have interesting and humorous stories. Part A 戴芬妮：嘿，那看起來不像小說，你在看什麼？ 荷馬：是葛麗絲‧ 霍普的自傳，她是協助創造第一代電腦語言的一員。 戴芬妮：我之前從沒看過你閱讀非小說類的書籍，你什麼時候開始涉獵的？ 荷馬：妳在開玩笑嗎？我一直以來都會讀非小說類的書。 戴芬妮：比方說？我只有一本食譜和字典而已。 荷馬：我非常喜歡看旅遊相關書籍。 戴芬妮：你是指旅遊指南嗎？ 荷馬：不是，我說的是旅遊日誌。它們除了實用資訊之外，還有有趣又幽默的故事。還有有趣又幽默的故事。 Part B Homer and Daphne have a deeper discussion about books. 荷馬和戴芬妮更深入聊關於書的話題。 (Homer = H ; Daphne = D) H: Don’t get me wrong—I also love reading fiction. I especially enjoy poetry and mysteries. D: I don’t get the former one, so I don’t read it. However, I love the latter to death. H: I just finished one about a financial genius. He found a way to make a lot of money quickly. D: Then, someone killed him because they were greedy and wanted his money and power. H: I see you read it already. D: Of course! That book was a real page-turner. H: It’s one of my favorites. D: Mine too. Part B 荷馬：別誤會，我也喜歡看虛構文學，尤其是詩集和推理小說。 戴芬妮：我對詩一知半解，所以不讀。不過，我非常喜歡推理小說。 荷馬：我剛看完一本關於金融天才的推理小說，他找到一個快速致富的方法。 戴芬妮：然後，因為有人貪得無厭，想要得到那位天才的金錢與權力，所以就殺了他。 荷馬：想必妳已經讀過了。 戴芬妮：當然！那本書非常引人入勝。 荷馬：那是我最喜歡的推理小說之一。 戴芬妮：我也是。 Part C Daphne and Homer learn more about each other’s taste in books. 戴芬妮和荷馬得知更多彼此對書籍的喜好。 (Daphne = D ; Homer = H) D: As a kid, I couldn’t get enough of fairy tales and fantasies. H: Was it the handsome prince rescuing the beautiful princess and saving the day? D: No. I fell in love with the principle that anything is possible. Also, the universe didn’t just exist in one form. H: No way! That’s how I felt about comic books. D: I never got into those because I like to use my own imagination. H: Now I do, but I didn’t as a kid. D: So comics helped you? H: Yes, they gave me a very precious gift. Part C 戴芬妮：小時候，我非常喜歡童話和奇幻故事。 荷馬：是因為有帥氣的王子拯救美麗的公主，然後化險為夷的情節嗎？ 戴芬妮：不，我喜歡的是凡事皆有可能的原則，還有這個宇宙不是只以單一樣貌存在。 荷馬：不會吧！那正是我對漫畫的想法。 戴芬妮：我對漫畫從不感興趣，因為我喜歡運用自己的想像力。 荷馬：我現在喜歡這麼做，但我小時候沒什麼想像力。 戴芬妮：所以漫畫有幫助到你？ 荷馬：是的，它們給了我非常珍貴的禮物。
