Michelle Obama took home her second Grammy Award on Sunday, beating out tough competition in the storytelling category.
周日,米歇爾·奧巴馬擊敗了激烈的競爭對手,在最佳敘事類獎項中獲得了她的第二個格萊美獎。
The former first lady, 60, won the award for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording at this year’s pre-telecast ceremony for doing the voiceover on her latest book, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times.
這位60歲的前第一夫人在今年的頒獎典禮前獲得了最佳有聲讀物、旁白和故事錄音獎,她為自己的新書《我們攜帶的光:在不確定的時代戰(zhàn)勝》配音。
The category also included Sen. Bernie Sanders (for his audio book It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism), Meryl Streep (for narrating Brian Selznick’s Big Tree), William Shatner (for Boldly Go: Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder), and record producer Rick Rubin (for The Creative Act: A Way of Being).
該獎項還包括參議員伯尼·桑德斯(因其有聲書《對資本主義感到憤怒是可以的》)、梅麗爾·斯特里普(因為布萊恩·塞爾茲尼克的《大樹》配音)、威廉·沙特納(因《大膽前行:對敬畏和奇跡的生活的反思》)和唱片制作人里克·魯賓(因《創(chuàng)造性行為:一種存在方式》)。
The Light We Carry, published in November 2022, is a collection of Obama’s experiences as a political figure, a mother, a spouse and a woman in the world. In telling stories that offer “insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power,” Obama’s work for her third book has earned her a spot on the New York Times’ Bestseller list and nabbed her an Emmy nomination through a Netflix special with Oprah.
《我們攜帶的光》于2022年11月出版,是奧巴馬作為一個政治人物、一個母親、一個配偶和一個女人在世界上的經(jīng)歷的集合。通過講述“對變化、挑戰(zhàn)和力量的深刻反思”,奧巴馬的第三本書為她贏得了《紐約時報》暢銷書排行榜上的一席之地,并通過與奧普拉的Netflix特別節(jié)目為她贏得了艾美獎提名。
Half a memoir and half a self-help book, Obama’s nonfiction project arose from the world’s ongoing political unrest and uncertainty in face of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE before the book’s release, she shared her coping mechanisms and lessons gleaned from reflecting on her life during the anxious years of 2020-2021.
這本書一半是回憶錄,一半是自助書,奧巴馬的非虛構(gòu)作品源于全球持續(xù)的政治動蕩和面對COVID-19大流行的不確定性。在這本書出版前,她接受了《人物》雜志的獨家采訪,分享了她在2020-2021年焦慮歲月中反思自己生活的應(yīng)對機制和經(jīng)驗教訓(xùn)。
“These are the things I say to myself when I need to pick myself up,” she told PEOPLE. “This is how I stay visible in a world that doesn't necessarily see a tall Black woman. This is how I stay armored up when I'm attacked. The book is that offering.
“當(dāng)我需要振作起來的時候,我會對自己說這些話,”她告訴《人物》雜志。“這就是我如何在一個不一定會看到高個子黑人女性的世界中引人注目的方式。這就是我被攻擊時全副武裝的方法。這本書就是祭品。
Obama previously won a Grammy in 2020 for the audiobook of her first memoir, Becoming. Although she wasn’t present to accept the award, presenter Esperanza Spalding said she would “gladly accept on her behalf.”
奧巴馬曾在2020年憑借她的第一本回憶錄有聲書《成為》獲得格萊美獎。雖然她沒有到場領(lǐng)獎,但主持人埃斯佩朗莎·斯伯丁表示,她將“很高興代表她領(lǐng)獎”。
With her win for The Light We Carry, she ties her Grammy count with husband and former President Barack Obama, who also has two awards in the spoken word category.
憑借《我們攜帶的光》獲獎,她與丈夫、前總統(tǒng)巴拉克•奧巴馬追平了格萊美獎的數(shù)量,奧巴馬也獲得了兩項演講類獎項。
