Cher, Britney Make Worst-Dressed List

Britney1  Mr. Blackwell's annual[1] "Worst-Dressed Women" list is out once again, among them we found Britney Spears, Fiona Apple and Cher had made their way to the top.

   Cher, however, wasn't the only recording artist to make the list, which proved to be the half reason music[2] industry notables this year. Celine Dion, referred to as a "profusion of confusion," took second place, followed by Queen Elizabeth, Martha Stewart, etc.

   Reaching #1 on the U.S. pop music charts with her 1999 debut[3] album Baby One More Time, the 17-year-old Britney Spears, also on this year's list.

Britney2   "Make no mistake, the winners in my Hall of Fashion Shame are picked solely on their stylistic presentation." Blackwell, who has now released his list 40 times, says. "In fact, many of the fashion-challenged women on this year's list are fabulous talents. But when it comes to choosing a wardrobe, they seem to have no exit in sight."

 

   

 

注释

[1]annual
每年的、年度的。很显然的是这个词和year是有所区别的,说到"有规律的每年发生的这个慨念"的时候,我们就可以用到这个词。例如:年度报告(annual report)。来看看这样一句话吧:--"How did you physical go?" Jack asked, "Didn't you take your annual yesterday?" 如果放在一个单句之中你肯定弄不明白到底什么意思,但上句中提到了身体状况,所以我们可以推出这句话的意思是:杰克询问对方的身体情况如何了,昨天有没有去做过年度体检。?

[2]music industry
音乐界。Industry 这个词单独用的时候是表示"工业、行业",但是正如我们所见,它和音乐放在一起就可以表示那个圈子,相似的例子还有film indusry(电影界)。

 

 
 
 

 

雪儿、布莱特尼上了"着装最差人士"名单

Cher  布莱克威尔先生的年度"着装最差的女人"名单又一次出台,在名单中我们可以发现布莱特尼·斯皮尔斯(Britney Spears)、菲娜·埃鄱(Fiona Apple)以及雪儿(Cher)名列前矛。

  雪儿在此名单上名列榜首,这也是她今年以来为什么会在音乐界备受关注的多半原因,然而她并非此名单上唯一的灌录唱片的艺人。接下来的,是被称为"乱穿衣服"的席林·迪翁(Celine Dion);然后是伊丽莎白女王(Queen Elizabeth)和玛莎·斯图尔特(Martha Stewart)等。

  以1999年首张专集中的"Baby One More Time"荣登全美流行音乐榜榜首,现年17的布莱特尼·斯皮尔斯(Britney Spears),也列在了今年的名单上。

  "这个名单是不会错的,那些在"流行服饰耻辱榜"上胜出的人,是我们根据她们在公开场合的着装风格而精心挑选出来的。"已经发布了40次名单的布莱克威尔说道:"今年名单上这些着装上有问题的人,实际上都有了不起的天份。但是一旦到了为自己添置行头的时候,她们就变得没有一点眼光。

 

   

[3]debut
初次(登台演出)、首次出现。A young pianist's debut(青年钢琴家的首次登台演出。)所以稍稍想想我们就知道了debut album 是"首张专集"的意思。
