美国九岁小名模年入近30万美元

2010-07-06来源:和谐英语

年仅九岁的美国小女生Fatima Ptacek已然胜过很多大人,成为美国的新一代名模。她是多个国际著名时装品牌的代言人,还参演了凯瑟琳·泽塔·琼斯主演的喜剧电影《姐弟恋》等多部好莱坞大片!除此之外,她的梦想是念哈佛大学法学院,另外她还在学习中国的古文呢!

BEIJING, May 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Nine-year-old New York girl Fatima Ptacek considers herself a "normal kid", but that's not what other people think about her.

She is a fourth grader who has made around 280,000 U.S. dollars a year in modelling and acting since she was five years old.

Posing for Ralph Lauren, Benetton and Gap, smiling for the cover of magazines and picking up the occasional acting job, Fatima's life is far different from her peers.

However, Fatima thinks of it in a different way. "It's actually just another activity," says Fatima, "It's not a big, big thing. I don't think it's going to go to my head."

Her family hold the same opinion. Fatima's father Jack Ptacek, a retired detective, said, "She doesn't do it for the money at all. Up until recently, she thought we were paying to let her to be in commercials and have her picture taken." (直到最近,这孩子还以为是我们付了钱让她去拍照,她才有照片呢……小美女的老爸如是说)

What Fatima does like most nine-year-old girls are doing gymnastics, riding horses and studying Chinese.

The smart girl has big dreams. She said, "I definitely want to be a lawyer. I have to finish my professional acting career first. Once I get to college, I'll probably be too old for that stuff. I want to focus more on education because education is very important. I want to be the first female president. If I'm president I can stop a lot of injustice. I want to change the world just like (President) Obama."

当今的模特圈,如果你只知道摇钱树海蒂·克鲁姆或者惹火的提拉·班克斯,而不晓得9岁超模法提玛·普塔塞克,那么一定OUT啦!美国女孩法提玛·普塔塞克虽然还是一名四年级的学生,但已经成为目前美国最受欢迎且薪水最高“超级名模”之一。

2001年出生于纽约的法提玛·普塔塞克,在过去短短一年内凭借甜美可人的长相,不仅游走在各大时装舞台,还成为多个国际著名时装品牌的代言人。她还参与了著名女星凯瑟琳·泽塔·琼斯主演的喜剧电影《姐弟恋》等多部好莱坞大片,风头甚至超过女主角。而法提玛最大的梦想则是希望将来有一天能够参加美国总统大选,力求成为美国历史上第一位女总统。

身为超模的法提玛,并不是一个空有其表的“花瓶”。成绩优秀的她只要—有空闲,就会静下心来学习各种知识,为自己“充电”。法提玛尤其对中国文化充满了浓厚的兴趣,就连她平时所穿的服装上都会包含许多诸如刺绣之类的中国元素。而最让人出乎意料的是,痴迷中国文化的法提玛,每到周末甚至要花5小时的时间来学习晦涩难懂的中国古汉语——文言文。
