10 Still Dreaming

Chapter 10 Still Dreaming From the beginning, Dolly Parton wanted to perform live for a crowd. The joy of sharing her music has never left her. She says, "it's a lovefest with me and my audience." Her fans give her energy. She has toured almost every year since

从一开始，多莉·帕顿就想为观众现场表演。 分享她的音乐的快乐从未离开过她。 她说：“这是我和我的观众的最爱。” 她的粉丝给了她能量。从那以后，她几乎每年都要巡演

2002. In 2011, she had a very successful tour in Australia. You might wonder why people halfway around the world from Tennessee would be so crazy for a country-music star. Dolly's honest personality and her songs are universal. Everybody experiences the same kinds of joy and pain in life. Dolly is still recording, writing, touring, and appearing on TV. Recently she published a book, Dream More, where she shares her thoughts about life. She still looks glitzy, but is as down-to-earth as ever. No one works harder, and no one has more fun. She has a million ideas and always keeps a pencil and paper handy to write them down. Dolly Parton is still dreaming big. What are her dreams now? She says she wants to write more books and do music for children. She wants to write a Broadway musical based on her life. She wants to own her own cosmetics company. And more! In her late sixties, she still has the energy of ten people. Dolly says, "The older I get, the earlier I get up." She won't stop working. It's what she loves. Her wish is to keep performing

2002. 2011年，她在澳大利亚进行了一次非常成功的巡演。 你可能想知道为什么来自田纳西州的人们会如此疯狂地追求一个乡村音乐明星。 多莉诚实的个性和她的歌曲是普遍的。 每个人在生活中都会经历同样的快乐和痛苦。 多莉仍然在录音、写作、巡演和上电视。 最近，她出版了一本名为《多做梦》的书，在书中她分享了自己对生活的看法。 她看起来依然光鲜亮丽，但却一如既往地脚踏实地。 没有人比我更努力，也没有人比我更开心。 她有无数的想法，总是随身带着铅笔和纸，以便把它们写下来。 多莉·帕顿仍然有着远大的梦想。 她现在的梦想是什么？她说她想写更多的书，为孩子们做音乐。 她想根据自己的生活写一部百老汇音乐剧。 她想拥有自己的化妆品公司。 和更多!她年近六旬，精力仍然相当于十个人。 多莉说：“我年纪越大，起得越早。” 她不会停止工作。这是她喜欢的。 她的愿望是继续表演

and die in the middle of a song on stage with a smile on her face... at age one-hundred and twenty! Dolly Parton has made a lot of money and given away a lot of money. Famous around the world, she never has strayed from her roots. On the lawn in front of the courthouse in Sevierville, Tennessee, there is a life-size bronze statue of her. It was put there by the people who knew her best. The statue is of young barefoot Dolly in rolled-up jeans sitting on a rock with her guitar... dreaming.

然后带着微笑死在舞台上的一首歌中… 已经一百二十岁了！多莉·帕顿赚了很多钱，也捐了很多钱。 享誉全球的她从未离开过自己的根。 在田纳西州塞维尔市法院前的草坪上，矗立着她的真人大小的铜像。 是最了解她的人放的。 雕像上，年轻的多莉光着脚，穿着卷起的牛仔裤，拿着吉他坐在一块石头上。 在做梦。
