I have always wanted to be a news reporter. When I was about 10 years old, I would write my own news stories and publish them in my own newspaper. In reality, the newspaper was just a piece of paper on which I’d written my stories and drew my pictures, but it was my first taste of the power of the press.
我一直想成為一名新聞記者。當(dāng)我大約10歲的時候,我會自己撰稿新聞事件,并發(fā)表在自己創(chuàng)建的報紙上。事實上,所謂的“報紙”就是一張紙,我在上面寫新聞,配圖,但這是我第一次領(lǐng)略到新聞媒體的力量。

When I got to college, I worked on the university newspaper and started out as a copy editor, editing stories and writing headlines. Then, I began to cover news events, getting my first bylines. I can’t tell you how excited I was to see my name in print for the first time!
上大學(xué)時,我在校報工作,一開始是文案編輯,負(fù)責(zé)編輯故事和寫標(biāo)題。然后,我開始報道新聞事件,獲得了第一個署名。我無法形容第一次看到自己名字出現(xiàn)在報紙上的心情有多激動!
Since then, I’ve worked at several newspapers. I started out at the bottom, writing obituaries and news briefs. Then, I got a regular beat and wrote some features and investigative reports. I’ve even written the occasional editorial.
從那以后,我先后在幾家報社工作過。從最底層做起,寫訃告和新聞簡報。然后,我有了一個固定的職責(zé),寫一些專題和調(diào)查報告。我甚至還寫過幾次社論。
What next? You never know in the newspaper business, but I’m shooting for a Pulitzer!
接下來會如何?你永遠(yuǎn)難以預(yù)料在報紙行業(yè)的前景,但我正在爭取普利策獎!
