Whitney Houston
Whitney Elizabeth Houston, pop singer, died on February 11th, aged 48. THE year was 1985, the scene（场面） Whitney Houston's second sellout（售完） concert in Carnegie Hall in New York. There were almost 3,000 in the audience, and from somewhere among them, as she launched into "I am Changing", a voice rang out（发出）: "Sing it, Whitney honey! Sing us the truth! " But what was the truth? Apparently it blazed（燃烧） before them, a huge, pure, beautiful voice from an impeccably（无可挑剔的） poised（泰然自若的）） young woman who had strode out（大步流星的走出） in an evening gown（女子晚礼服）, radiating（流露出） self-confidence. She didn't move much on stage: every ounce（盎司） of power was reserved for filling the hall with spine-tingling（脊柱发麻） ballads（民歌） of longed-for love. Her fans could see that this was God-given, a gift hauled up（拉出） from deep inside。
惠特尼·休斯顿
流行歌手惠特尼·伊丽莎白·休斯顿于2月11日去世，享年48岁。当年是1985年，惠特尼·休斯顿在纽约卡内基音乐厅举行了第二场音乐会。观众中有近3,000名观众，当她进入“我正在改变”时，从他们中间的某个地方响起了一个声音：“唱歌，惠特尼亲爱的！给我们唱真相！”但是，真相是什么？显然，在他们面前闪耀着巨大，纯净，优美的声音，来自一个举止优雅的年轻女子，她穿着晚礼服大步向前，散发出自信。她在舞台上动作不大：保留了每盎司的力量，将充满渴望的爱情的刺痛的歌谣填满整个大厅。她的粉丝们看到这是上帝赐予的，是从内心深处拉来的礼物。

as when the little girl in the New Hope gospel（真理信条） choir（唱诗班） had closed her eyes tight and soloed（独唱） "Guide me, O thou（请求你） Great Jehovah" in church, and the Holy Spirit had rolled out（铺开）over that congregation（集会）. Others, though, could see she was a product of careful packaging（包装） by Clive Davis of Arista Records, who had spotted（发现） her in a New York night club, signed her at 19 and then waited two years for the right string-lush（豪华的） ballads（民谣） to come along（出现）; who had cut back the frizzy（卷曲的） hair, lightened（减轻） the make-up（化妆品）, changed the dress, and launched her on the world so perfect hat， by 1986 she was Billboard artist of the year, an instant（瞬间的） sensation（感觉）. Like Cinderella, she said. And, like Cinderella, she claimed her ambitions were small. All she wanted was to go to the mall and find true love, like any other 21-year-old. But as a soul singer her heritage was already royal rather than rags（破布）: daughter of Cissy Houston of the Sweet Inspirations, cousin of Dionne Warwick, god-daughter of Aretha Franklin ("Auntie Ree"), all of whom she'd learned from when her braids（辫子） still got in the way（妨碍了） of the microphone. Hard-headed（头脑清醒的）, she had chosen to build her career the way Mr Davis advised her: "Longevity（长寿）, that's what it's all about." Besides（除此之外）, she enjoyed being a princess-possessor（公主持有者） of multiple（多重） platinum（白金） discs, holder of six Grammys（格莱美奖）, earner of more money and seller of more records than any female star before her. She would order her entourage（随行人员） around and sack（解雇） them repeatedly（屡次）, trusting only her mother not to "talk shit to my ear" or "blow smoke up my ass"。
就像新希望福音合唱团中的小女孩紧闭双眼并在教堂里独奏“引导我，你伟大的耶和华”，圣灵在那会众上铺开一样。不过，其他人可能会看到她是Arista Records的克莱夫·戴维斯（Clive Davis）精心包装的产物，她发现她在纽约的一家夜总会，在19岁时签下了她，然后等了两年才准备好合适的弦弦民谣。 ;她剪短了卷曲的头发，减轻了妆容，改变了裙子，并在1986年将她戴上了如此完美的帽子，成为当年的Billboard艺术家，立刻引起了轰动。她说，像灰姑
