Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley said she was honoured to confer the title.
该国总理米娅·阿莫·莫特利表示，她很荣幸能够为蕾哈娜授予该头衔。
"Rihanna has a deep love for this country and this is reflected in her philanthropy, especially in the areas of health and education. She also shows her patriotism in the way she gives back to this country and continues to treasure the island as her home," the prime minister said in a statement.
这位总理在一份声明中表示：“蕾哈娜对这个国家深深的爱，体现在她的慈善事业中，特别是在健康和教育方面。她的爱国精神还体现在回馈祖国并继续将这个岛国作为她的家的行动上。”
"She has also demonstrated, beyond her success as a pop icon, significant creative acumen and shrewdness in business. It is therefore fitting that we engage and empower her to play a more definitive role as we work to transform Barbados."
“除了作为流行偶像获得巨大成功之外，她还展示了巨大的创造力和敏锐的商业头脑。因此，在我们努力改造巴巴多斯的过程中，我们应该让她多加参与并赋予她更明确的使命。”
Rihanna is one of the best-selling singers of all time, with 250 million record sales globally. She has also enjoyed success as an actress and fashion designer, and launched a widely-praised makeup collection last year.
蕾哈娜是有史以来最卖座的歌手之一，全球唱片销量达到2.5亿。她还是一名女演员和时装设计师，并于去年推出了受到广泛赞誉的彩妆系列。
The singer was born in Saint Michael in Barbados, and grew up in the capital, Bridgetown. She lived there until her teen years when she was discovered by an American record producer, who helped her break into the US charts.
这位歌手出生于巴巴多斯的圣迈克尔，并在该国首都布里奇敦长大。她一直住在那里，直到十几岁时被一位美国唱片制作人发掘，并帮助她打入美国排行榜。
In a statement accepting her new role, the singer (who is now described as Ambassador Fenty by the Barbados government) said she "couldn't be more proud to take on such a prestigious title" in her home country.
在接受她的新角色的一份声明中，这位歌手（现在被巴巴多斯政府称为芬缇大使）表示：“在她的祖国能够取得这样一个声望很高的头衔，她感到非常自豪”。
"Every Barbadian is going to have to play their role in this current effort, and I'm ready and excited to take on the responsibility. I look forward to working with Prime Minister Mottley and her team to re-imagine Barbados."
“每个巴巴多斯人必须在当前的努力中发挥自己的作用，我已经准备好承担任务。我期待着与莫特利总理和她的团队合作，重新打造巴巴多斯。”
