THE WOMAN I WAS BORN TO BE

Book ID/图书代码： 06580010B39316

English Summary/英文概要： In April 2009, a modest middle-aged woman from a village in Scotland was catapulted to global fame when the YouTube video of her audition for "Britain’s Got Talent" touched the hearts of millions all over the world. From singing karaoke in local pubs to live performance with an eighty-piece orchestra in Japan’s legendary Budokan arena and a record-breaking debut album, Susan Boyle has become an international superstar. This astonishing transformation has not always been easy for Susan, faced with all the trappings of celebrity, but in the whirlwind of attention and expectation, she has always found calm and clarity in music. Susan was born to sing. Now, for the first time, Susan tells the story of her life and the challenges she has struggled to overcome with faith, fortitude and an unfailing sense of humour. ’When I strutted onto the stage for that audition, I was a scared wee lassie, still grieving for my mother, not caring how I looked. I think I’ve grown up a lot in the last year, become more of a lady, and I’m not so frightened anymore. I’m telling my story to try and show that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, that you shouldn’t just look at the label - you must look at the whole person, emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I hope that it will show that dreams are not impossible, if you’ve got courage and a willingness to go on no matter what the circumstances.’

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2009年4月，一个谦逊的来自苏格兰农庄的中年妇女凭借其在英国达人秀上的表演一举成名，打动了全世界千百万人的心。从在乡村酒吧里唱K到在日本传奇的武道馆剧场迎合着管弦八重奏进行现场表演，再到首张专辑的破纪录热卖，Susan Boyle已成为了国际巨星。这一令人惊叹的华丽变身对Susan来说并不容易，她面对过名人遭遇的所有陷阱，但在期待和关注的漩涡中，她总能在音乐中找到平静清醒的避风港。Susan生就一副好歌喉。如今，Susan首次讲述自己的人生，告诉大家她是如何凭借信心、努力和幽默感战胜一个又一个挑战的。“当我走上试镜台时，我害怕极了，心里还在为母亲悲痛，无心介怀自己的穿着。在过去的一年里，我成长了很多，更像个淑女了，而且不再害怕了。我讲述自己的故事是为了告诉你不要以貌取人，不能凡事只看表面――你应该看整个人，情绪上，身体上，思想上，精神上。我希望传达一个信息，梦想不是遥不可及的，只要你有勇气，有意愿去为之努力，不管外界环境如何。”(兼职翻译-SXX)
