注释：

1. exclusive：|
独有的、独家的。学校的食堂是只给学生专用的——The dining room is for the exclusive use of the students. 经常听到新闻里提到独家报道、采访，其实也就是我们刚学的这个词：exclusive report. 对于文中提到的exclusive sponsorship agreement，稍稍动动脑子我们就可以得出结论，不就是“独家赞助的协议”的意思嘛！

2. exposure：
暴露。别以为这个词是平时我们很少用到的词，下雨、出太阳的时候没带伞遮雨/阳，就暴露在雨中/阳光下——exposure to the rain / sun.

3. appearance：
露面。有朋友很久没见了，如果他要突然出现在你门口：the sudden appearance of a friend，会不会让你很高兴呢？此外，appearance还可以表示“外表”：He was most particular about his appearance.（他很讲究外表。）

　　Tyrese有着一副令人觉得晕眩的英俊外貌，一副非同寻常的好嗓音，他于1999年春初次发行了一张以自己为名的白金唱片，其中热门的歌曲有"Lately" "Sweet Lady" 以及"Nobody Else"。他的音乐活力四射和符合潮流发展，充份展示了hip-hop和蓝调音乐的精髓。Tyrese是在一次令人难忘的可口可乐电视广告中初次为世人所知。他是一个多面手的艺人——词作家、音乐家、演员、模特以及社会激进主义份子。他的目标是将他的处世信条“没什么办不成的事”传达给与他的同龄人。

Tyrese　　作为牛仔系列服装公司的代言人，Tyrese将于2000年春季GUESS的国际广告活动中公开露面。在所有的私人聚会、表演场合以及公开露面的场合中，他都只穿GUESS公司的产品。

　　于洛杉矶举行的第27届美国年度音乐大奖对GUESS公司来说是有写特殊意义的——Tyrese赢得了最受欢迎蓝调音乐/灵魂音乐新人奖。他击败了新人702和Eve。千万记住观看两千年二月二十三号星期三的第四十二届格莱美大奖的颁奖典礼。Tyrese有望获得蓝调音乐最佳男音表现男歌手奖。
