今天分享的是奧普拉·溫弗瑞的故事。

Oprah Winfrey is one of the most successful women in the history of the United States of America. Winfrey was born in a small town in Mississippi in 1954 into a poor family. She is now one of the richest people in the world, and the richest black Americans in the country. She was also named as the richest African American in the 20th Century. Winfrey is known to most Americans through her daytime show called "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Her show is very popular among television viewers because she likes to tackle the tough issues many other daytime TV hosts avoid.
奧普拉·溫弗瑞是美國曆史上最成功的女性之一。溫弗莉1954出生在密西西比州的一個小鎮上一個貧窮的家庭。她現在是世界上最富有的人之一，也是這個國家最富有的黑人。她也被命名二十世紀爲最富有的非裔美國人。溫弗莉通過她白天的節目“奧普拉溫弗莉秀”而名聲大噪。她的節目很受觀衆歡迎，因爲她喜歡處理其他主播避而不談的棘手的問題。

Winfrey's early life was difficult. She lived with her mother and grandmother at times. While living with her grandmother, she learned to read by the age of three, and had memorized many bible passages. Her mother was an unwed teenager at the time of her birth, and had a difficult time raising her. Winfrey had two half-sisters. One died young as a result of cocaine addiction, and she did not learn about her other sister until 2010. Winfrey also was not certain who her father was.

Winfrey suffered from sexual abuse from her uncle, cousin, and family friend, and became pregnant at 14. She lost her baby shortly after birth though. Winfrey survived her early years, and at 17 won a local beauty contest before getting her first break in the media industry as a radio newscaster. This was her first step into the media market.
