Celine Dion is a superstar in both French and English. She is one of the most talented and successful artists of her generation. In May 2008, she received France’s highest award, but her beginnings were slightly more humble. She was the youngest of 14 children born to poor parents. Music was a key part of family life and her earliest dream was to be famous.

席琳·迪翁不仅在法语国家中是一名超级巨星,在英语国家她同样出名。她是同时代中最具天赋,也是最成功的艺术家之一。2008年5月,她获得了法国最高荣誉奖项,但是她事业的开始阶段并不是一帆风顺的。她出生于贫苦家庭,在14个兄弟姐妹中排名最后。音乐是家庭生活中至关重要的部分,她最初的梦想就是想成名。

When she was eighteen, at a Michael Jackson concert, she decided she wanted to be a star like him. She needed a change of image and had cosmetic and dental surgery. She also had English lessons to polish her accent for singing songs in English. Her English debut, the 1990 album ‘Unison’, brought her to the world’s attention.

18岁时,她去了迈克尔·杰克逊的演唱会,当时她就决定要像他一样成为明星。她需要改变形象,她接受了牙齿和整形手术。为了用英文唱歌,她还上了英语课来纠正发音。1990年,她发行了自己的首张英文专辑“Unison”,这让她获得了全世界的关注。
