阿黛尔,带给我们的不只音乐

According to reports， Adele is including a note in her tour program saying she may never tour again. “Touring is a peculiar thing， which doesn’t suit me particularly well...I might never see you again at a live show. Who knows？ But I will remember this for the rest of my life.”

It is a big loss for music fans. In addition to being an amazing performer， she’s a pretty fantastic person. So， let’s know more about her beyond her music by her quotations.

据报道，阿黛尔曾在自己的巡演中写下短笺，说她可能以后不再做巡演。她写道：“巡演是很特别的事情，它不太适合我……我可能再也不会在演唱会现场看到你们了。谁知道呢？但是我永远都会记得这一切。”

阿黛尔的决定对于粉丝来说是一个巨大的损失。她不仅表演杰出，为人也极其出色。那么，让我们一起透过阿黛尔的语录去感受她音乐以外的魅力吧。

3. When I was eight， I wanted to be 12. When I turned 12， I just wanted to be 18. Then after that I stopped wanting to be older. Now I’m ticking the 16―24 boxes just to see if I can blag it.

我8岁时，希望自己12岁。我12岁时，希望自己18岁。但那之后，我不想再长大。如今，我只会在16到24岁的方格里打钩，只想看看自己是否能蒙混过关。

4. The focus on my appearance has really surprised me. I’ve always been a size 14 to 16， I don’t care about clothes...
