原声BBC英语每日一句 live my career through

请先听一下,再看原文。

“I lived my career, kind of, through the spotlight. And the spotlight is always on you. And you have to be a certain person, you have to create a certain person, and you have to be yourself.”

背景:英国足球明星大卫-贝克汉姆刚出版了一本带有150幅图片的自传。这是一段BBC记者在自传出版当天的采访录音。

译文参考:我的职业生涯差不多都是生活在聚光灯下。聚光灯总是在你[我]身上。你[我]必须表现成为某种人,你[我]必须创造出某种人,而且你必须是你自己。

kind of = 某个程度上,差不多

live my career through = 我的职业生涯是在……度过,也可以说 live my life through…

spotlight= 聚光灯,公众注意的中心, 其它用法 in the spotlight

be yourself = 是你自己,保持自己的本色

口语练习:

I have lived my career through [勤奋工作/教书/……]

I don’t like to be in the spotlight.
