18 FAITH HILL

 

                                           

 

 

Barbara: You won three Grammy’s last month, wow!

Faith: That was a little 1)stingy there, wasn’t it?

Barbara: What did you want? Five? What has this year been like for you?

Faith: It’s...

Barbara:  That good?

Faith: Yeah, that good. It’s been a dream.

Barbara:  But you know, your looks have gotten --- I don’t know--- 2)sassier, the clothes have gotten sexier. Yeah? A little?

Faith: Probably.

Barbara:  Some people have said that the whole, the new look, the hair, the... you know the 3)divine sexy clothes, isthat you're trying to be a pop star rather than a country star? You've read this?

Faith: So what, country women aren’t sexy? I mean that's what...

Barbara:  Well I think what they're trying to say is critical¹ is, “Faith isn't pure country anymore.” You've heard that you know, “Faith is 4)outgrown, this country isn't good enough for her.”

Faith: That's too bad. You know I think that's... I don't know.

Barbara:  Is country still good enough?

Faith: Absolutely, I'm a country girl. You know I am regardless² of what I wear and what I say and you know I've never tried to be anything that I'm not.

Barbara:  You're going to have career choices to make because you're getting movie offers now. Do you want that? Do you want to take that next step and go into films?

Faith: I do, but I need to be very good at it. I mean I have, I can get in to a meeting. I can get my foot in the door, but I need to be really, really good.

 

费丝希尔性感太快

 

芭芭拉：上个月你赢了三项格莱美奖，哗！

费丝：是不是有点太少了？

芭芭拉：你想要多少啊？五项吗？你这一年过得怎样？

费丝：还……

芭芭拉：很好？

费丝：是的，很好。就像做梦一样。

芭芭拉：可你知道，你的模样变得--我不知道--更时髦了，衣着也更性感了。是吗？是有一点吧？

费丝：可能吧。

芭芭拉：有人说，你的新面貌、头发等等，你知道，还有这些漂亮的性感衣服，是不是你想要成为流行歌曲明星而不是民谣明星呢？你听到过这种说法吗？

费丝：那又怎样呢，难道唱民谣的就不能性感吗？我是说……

芭芭拉：我想他们想要说的是：“费丝不再是纯粹的民谣歌手。”你听说过这些吗--“费丝认为民谣对她还不够好，她要做别的发展。”

费丝：那太糟了，我想那简直……我不知道。

芭芭拉：你认为民谣还够好吗？

费丝：当然，我是个乡下姑娘。你知道，不管我穿什么和说什么，你知道我是绝不会去装成另一个人的。

芭芭拉：由于现在有人请你去拍电影，你在事业上又面临着选择了。你希望如此吗？你希望努力朝影坛发展吗？

费丝：我是想，可我要在这方面做得很好才行。我是说我可以试一试，初步地探一下，但那得要做得很好、很好才行。
