講解
TODAY’s key word is Income
Income 收入,收益
A person's income is the money that they earn or receive。
The cost of living is now so high that you need to earn a good income just to keep your head above water.
現在生活費用太高了,你需要有相當的收入才能勉強維持生活。
To keep your head above water 避免欠債。
這里To keep your head above water is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt.
言歸正傳,今天我們要說的這個income 收入,是鄉村歌曲小天后 Taylor swift 的收入。
這位小天后不光是前男友多,錢也是多的不要不要的。你猜,她每年的收入有多少呢?
Taylor Swift has been named the highest-paid musician in the world after reportedly earning more than one million dollars a day for the duration of 2015。
一天一百萬美元!我需要找個角落靜一靜,重新思考人生。
Forbes magazine(福布斯) has claimed she could hit full-blown billionaire(億萬富翁) status well before her 30th birthday and ultimately(最后) become one of the world’s wealthiest women.
人美,歌甜,男友多,還不缺錢,弱弱的問一下,她是怎么辦到的?總結一下,主要是一下幾點原因。
1.專輯大賣。
The stunning star released her fifth studio album in October last year and the hugely-successful record sold 1.287 million in its first week。
2. 工作認真
Last year, we saw her storm the globe performing 85 jam-packed dates, in North America, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
一年85場演唱會,遍及地球各個角落, 光門票收入就夠吃一年青島大蝦了。
3.理財能手。
Her father Scott is a wealth management adviser, and mother Andrea is a former mutual fund executive. 請問你家還缺孩子嗎?
除此以外,她和雅頓合作,發售了三款自己的香水,代言健怡可樂,代言keds 的鞋。那代言費是嘩嘩的進賬。
4.最后,也是非常非常重要的一點---前男友們。
Taylor Swift的前男友們站在一起那才是偶像天團。(具體都有誰,請問度娘)分一次手,送一首歌,這首歌還能賺好多錢。
It is really a good deal.
那這些歌里到底唱了點什么呢?還是學好英語,才能聽懂啊。大家一起努力 fighting (結尾再來兩句她的歌?)
