Beyonce Giselle Knowles was born in Texas in 1981. She grew up singing and dancing and quickly developed the qualities that would make her an international superstar. Her talents were discovered by her dance teacher while she was a church choir soloist. She took Beyonce to local talent competitions, where she won no fewer than 30 of them.

1981年,碧昂丝·吉赛尔·诺斯出生于美国德克萨斯州。她从小就开始唱歌,跳舞,并迅速获得了成为国际巨星的条件。她的天赋被她的舞蹈老师所发现,当时她是一名教堂合唱团独唱。她带碧昂丝参加了当地的才能展示比赛,她在不下30人中脱颖而出。

Beyonce decided to form a singing group. She asked her best friend LaTavia Roberson to join her. She also invited along a cousin and a friend and together they formed a quartet called 'Destiny's Child'. Beyonce’s father saw their potential and quit his well-paid job to become the group’s manager. They shot to fame as the most successful female group of all time.

碧昂丝决定组成歌唱团。她邀请她最好的朋友拉塔薇亚·罗伯森来参加。她还邀请了她的一位兄妹和一位朋友一起参加,他们组成了名叫“estiny's Child”的四人组。碧昂丝的父亲发觉了她的天赋,并辞去了高薪工作来担任乐队经理。她们一举成名,并成为了历史上最成功的女子乐队。

It was touch and go at the beginning whether or not her father’s financial risk would pay off. In 1997, they signed with Columbia Records and their debut single, ‘Killing Time’, was the soundtrack to the film ‘Men In Black’. They recorded hit after hit and won dozens of awards. Beyonce went solo in 2000 and her career continued to take off.

无论当时她父亲的经济冒险是否成功,这都是转瞬即逝的事情。1997年,她们与哥伦比亚唱片公司签约,并制作了首张单曲,《Killing Time》也成为了《黑衣人》的电影配音。她们一次又一次打破记录,并收获了多项大奖。2000年,碧昂丝单飞,而她的事业继续腾飞。

Knowles won five awards at the 2004 Grammy Awards and a BRIT Award for International Female Solo Artist. She has recorded with the biggest names in music. Her career also went off in different directions. She became the first singer ever to model for ‘Sports Illustrated’ magazine and appeared in many movies. In April 2008, she married her long-time sweetheart, rapper Jay-Z.

在2004年格莱美大奖上,诺斯赢得了5项大奖,并在全英音乐奖上获得了最佳国际女歌手奖。她在音乐界有着无可比拟的人气。她的事业也全面开花。她也成为首个为体育画报杂志当模特的歌手,并出演了多部电影。2008年4月,她结束了爱情长跑与说唱歌手Jay-Z完婚。
