Oprah Winfrey—The Most Influential1 Woman Today
歐普拉.溫芙蕾:最具影響力的女性
by Helen Yeh
5/17(THU)
Few celebrities today have gained as much fame and respect as American entrepreneur and former talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Hailed by CNN as the most influential woman of her time, Winfrey is a true inspiration who has made extraordinary contributions to society.
Born in 1954 in Mississippi, Winfrey grew up in poverty and suffered abuse as a child. Despite her rough beginnings, she excelled in high school and won a full scholarship to Tennessee State University. There, Winfrey began working in radio and television.
Her talent soon led her to host The Oprah Winfrey Show. Covering topics from health and spirituality to personal relationships and money management, the talk show entertained and educated its viewers daily. Crying along with her guests and talking openly about her own struggles on the show, Winfrey made people feel like she was one of them. The Oprah Winfrey Show ran for 25 years and remains the highest-rated talk show in American history today.
But Winfrey’s achievements don’t end there. In 1985, she earned an Oscar nomination for her moving depiction of an early 20th-century African American woman in The Color Purple. She also founded O, The Oprah Magazine, which explores various topics related to women and encourages readers to “live their best lives.” More recently, Winfrey started her own TV channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network, further increasing her influence.
今天很少有名人像美國企業家和昔日的脫口秀主持人歐普拉.溫芙蕾一樣,得到這麼多的聲望和尊敬。溫芙蕾被CNN譽為同時代最具影響力的女性,著實是一位對社會有傑出貢獻且激勵人心的人。
溫芙蕾一九五四年出生於密西西比州,她在貧困中成長且在孩提時遭受虐待。儘管出身艱困的環境,但她高中時表現傑出,並且得到田納西州立大學的全額獎學金。就讀大學時,溫芙蕾開始在廣播電台和電視台工作。
她的才華很快就讓她主持了《歐普拉.溫芙蕾秀》。這個脫口秀的主題包含健康、精神層面到人際關係和金錢管理,每天都帶給觀眾歡樂並教育他們。溫芙蕾在節目上和來賓一起哭泣,也坦率地談論自身的奮鬥,她讓人們覺得她是他們的一分子。《歐普拉.溫芙蕾秀》播出了二十五年,至今仍是美國史上收視率最高的脫口秀節目。
但溫芙蕾的成就不僅止於此。一九八五年,她在《紫色姐妹花》中詮釋一位二十世紀初的非裔美國女性表現感人而獲得奧斯卡提名。她也創辦了《O:歐普拉雜誌》,這本雜誌探討各種跟女性有關的主題並鼓勵讀者「活出最精采的人生」。就在最近,溫芙蕾開辦了自己的電視頻道「歐普拉電視網」,進一步增加她的影響力。
