  谷爱凌这位18-year-old Olympic gold medalist用实际行动告诉我们:美貌、智慧和勇气是可以并存的!多少迷弟迷妹对她的喜爱是始于颜值,最终陷于实力。赛场内她是会飞的冰雪公主,赛场外,一次次的采访让我们不禁感叹,到底是什么样的教育和经历,可以让一位18岁的少女如此思维敏捷又热情洋溢。CNN在报道她夺冠时使用的标题是Teenage Olympic sensation Eileen Gu wins gold. And crashes the Chinese internet. 十分形象又真实的描述了谷爱凌的现状。(下回想描述一位当红热搜人物,就可以用“某某crash the Internet”。同时,这位爆火的人物可以被称为“sensation”,例如The band became a sensation overnight.)

  下面我们来看看关于谷爱凌的新闻报道以及采访节选,来感受一下这位冰雪公主的智慧吧!

  Beijing (CNN) Eileen Gu fans temporarily crashed China’s leading social media platform on Tuesday, as tens of millions rushed online to celebrate the teenage freeski sensation winning her first gold medal of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

  这里注意temporarily的美式发音/ˌtempəˈrerəli/重音位置。

  除了social media, 我们也会经常听到social networking.

  American-born Gu, 18, jumped into the top position at the women’s big air competition with her third run, scoring 94.5 with a 1620 and a perfect landing -- making her total score 188.25 in the event’s debut at the Winter Olympics.

  She narrowly beat out France’s Tess Ledeux, who took silver with a score of 187.50.

  debut这个词注意t不发音哦。

  narrowly beat out somebody表示“险胜”。

  “That was the best moment of my life. The happiest moment, day, whatever -- of my life. I just cannot believe what just happened. Even if I didn’t land it, I felt it would send a message out to the world and hopefully encourage more girls to break their own boundaries,” she added. “That was my biggest goal going into my last run. I reminded myself to have fun and enjoy the moment and that, no matter what, I was so grateful to even have this opportunity to even be here.”

  land something表示to win, secure 例如:land a big contract.

  break their own boundaries非常好的搭配和表达,“挑战自己打破界限”。

  最后一句请熟读并背诵,总有一天会用到。

  Fans filled the stands to cheer for Gu, who was born and raised in California but decided in 2019 to compete for China. Known as the “snow princess” among her Chinese fans, Gu -- already a reigning world champion -- has become the unofficial face of China’s Olympic ambitions, and saw her popularity skyrocket in the lead-up to the Games.

  be born and raised 生长在…

  reign除了可以指“统治国家”,还可以指“在某一领域处于统治地位”(to be the best or most important in a particular situation or area of skill)例如:In the field of classical music, he still reigns supreme.

  Gu’s victory sparked joyous scenes online. The topic dominated searches on China’s Twitter-like platform Weibo, where seven of the 10 top trending topics were all about Gu’s win. Fans on her Weibo, where she has 2.6 million followers, left more than 90,000 comments in less than 30 minutes after her win. Related hashtags, such as “Gu Ailing won the gold medal”, received more than 300 million views within an hour -- eventually crashing the entire Weibo site due to the massive number of users.

  想描写一个人爆火,这段可以直接背下来了!

  霸占微博热搜:The topic dominated searches on China’s Twitter-like platform Weibo.

  热门话题:trending topics

  标签:hashtag,即#.

  大量用户:别只想到many和lots of,massive听起来才是人山人海。

  Chinese authorities were also unusually quick to congratulate Gu. “We are glad to hear that Gu Ailing, a Beijing athlete, won a precious gold medal for the Chinese sports delegation and honored the country with her perfect performance in the final of the women’s freestyle ski platform at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games,” said the Beijing Municipal Government and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Beijing Committee, referring to Gu by her Chinese name.

  要记住“中国体育代表团”的说法哦!Chinese sports delegation.

  Since joining China’s national team, Gu’s face has been splashed across magazine covers and billboards in the country. She has landed numerous sponsorships and brand deals, and is fast becoming one of China’s hottest young stars -- though her newfound success has also come with increased scrutiny from critics in the West.

  Apart from her skiing career, she’s also a model, brand ambassador, and was accepted into Stanford University, which she plans to attend in the fall.

  此处,splash用的超级棒!它表示to display or publicize very noticeably. 瞬间就有画面感了是不是!

  赞助和品牌代言:sponsorships and brand deals, 大量的还可以用numerous哦!

  “随之而来的是…”可以用come with, 例如蜘蛛侠里的经典台词:With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

  最后一段,应该就是人生赢家的通用描写模板了吧!

  祝福我们的冰雪公主,继续发光发亮吧!
