RIHANNA: A Star with a Beautiful Soul

One of the hottest singers today is Rihanna, who, at 32, has achieved more than most stars her age. So far, she has sold over 60 million albums and won nine Grammy awards. Besides her work in music, she has also built a successful business and used her money to help others.
Rihanna was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in Barbados. She had a troubled family life and turned to singing as an escape. At 16, she was discovered by a music producer and moved to America. Soon she released her first album, Music of the Sun, which sold close to two million copies. This was followed by more hit albums and songs, including “Umbrella,” “Diamond,” and “Stay.”
In 2017, Rihanna created Fenty Beauty, the first beauty brand to offer 40 different shades of foundation. As a black woman, she had noticed a lack of foundations for darker-skinned women. She therefore created a brand for every skin tone under the sun. “I wanted everyone to feel included,” Rihanna said, and people love the results.

 
蕾哈娜:人美心更美的流行天后

三十二歲的蕾哈娜是當今最火紅的歌手之一,她的成就遠超過同齡的大多數明星。到目前為止,她已賣出超過六千萬張專輯,並獲得九座葛萊美獎。除了音樂工作外,她也建立一項成功的事業,並用她的錢來幫助別人。
蕾哈娜出生在巴貝多,本名為蘿蘋.蕾哈娜.芬蒂。她的家庭生活問題很多,於是開始唱歌作為逃避的方式。十六歲時,她被一名音樂製作人發掘並搬到了美國。不久,她發行了第一張專輯《太陽之歌》,這張專輯賣了將近兩百萬張。接下來有更多張暢銷專輯和熱門歌曲,包括〈小雨傘〉、〈璀鑽〉和〈留下〉。
二○一七年,蕾哈娜創立了Fenty Beauty,這是第一個提供四十種不同色調的粉底的美容品牌。身為黑人女性,她注意到缺乏適合深色皮膚女性用的粉底。因此,她創造了一個適合世界上每一種膚色的品牌。蕾哈娜說:「我想要每個人都感覺受到包容」,而大家都喜歡此結果。

視訊通話

日本東京的墨田水族館(Sumida Aquarium)因新冠肺炎疫情而暫時關閉,館中原本已習慣遊客關注的花園鰻,又變回天生警覺性高,時不時就縮回洞穴裡,讓館中照顧牠們的工作人員難以檢查其狀況。因此,館方想出邀請民眾打視訊電話和花園鰻「聊天說話」,讓牠們再習慣受人矚目的感覺。


    lockdown  n.  封鎖;封城
      human interaction n. phr.  人際互動
      aquarium n.  水族館
      creature  n.  生物、動物
      garden eel n. phr.  花園鰻

外表長得像海草的花園鰻棲息在珊瑚礁區的砂質海底,是群棲的生物,其細長的身體隨著水流晃動之故,像極了花園中隨風搖擺的草,故得名「花園鰻」。
Due to Japan's coronavirus lockdown, an aquarium in Tokyo has asked the public to have video calls with its garden eels so that the creatures don't forget what humans look like.
由於日本新冠病毒封城之故,東京一間水族館要求民眾與其花園鰻進行視訊通話,好讓這些生物不會忘記人類 的長相。
