英语阅读训练第一段:

Everyone is different and everyone has that one thing that strikes fear in his or her heart. For Taylor Swift, it’s the threat of typing her name into the Google search bar.

每个人心中都有自己惧怕的东西。对泰勒·斯威夫特来说,在谷歌搜索栏中输入自己的名字是一件恐怖的事。

Marie Claire magazine had the 23-year-old songstress complete their “What’s on” questionnaire, in which we learned Swift’s top five biggest fears include: 1. Sea urchins 2. Googling myself 3. Earwigs 4. Cynics 5. Getting arrested.

这位23岁的女歌手填写的《嘉人》杂志问卷考核显示,斯威夫特最害怕的5样东西辨别是:1)海胆;2)在网上搜索自己的名字;3)蠼螋;4)愤世嫉俗者;5)被逮捕。

 

英语阅读训练第二段:

Swift truly seems concerned about getting arrested. She’s brought it up in past interviews and she just lost it when Justin Bieber convinced her to set fireworks off from a waterfront balcony, and made her believe she started a huge fire on a nearby boat – all of which was a prank for an episode of MTV’s “Punk’d”.

斯威夫特真的担心遭受拘捕。她在之前的采访中提到,贾斯汀·比伯曾说服她在一个海滨阳台燃放烟火,并让她相信这一举动使附近的船舶燃起了大火,当时她茫然不知所措——而这所有只是MTV电视台“明星整蛊王”节目的恶作剧。

“You know I had serious nightmares where I’d wake up in the middle of the night for, like, three weeks after that? I really thought that was it for me. I was thinking, ’Justin is 17, so he’s going to juvie, but I’m going to big-girl prison,’” Swift told Rolling Stone magazine in October 2012.“

你能假想我在那之后的三个星期始终从噩梦中惊醒吗?我真的信赖了。我在考虑,‘贾斯汀·比伯17岁,所以他会被关进少管所,而我会被关进成人女子监狱,’”斯威夫特于2012年10月接受滚石杂志采访时说。

 

英语阅读训练第三段:

She’s also spoken at length about her fear of Googling herself.

她还详细地谈到为什么会害怕在网上搜查自己的名字。

“I don’t have thick skin. If somebody says something mean, it will hurt my feelings. Anything bad that I read about myself, I’m just like … [fakes sobbing],” she told CMT in September 2011. “No, you can’t Google yourself or your self esteem will just go like that,” she said, making a motion with her hand downward.

“我不是厚脸皮的人。如果有人说了刻薄的话,我会很受伤。但凡读到什么有关我的坏话,我都会……[假装哭泣],”她在2011年9月接收CMT(城市音乐电视)采访时说,“不,你不能搜寻本人,否则你的自尊会像这样……”她边说边比了一个向下的手势。
