有些人可能会问:“谷爱凌是谁?Some people might ask: "Who is Gu Ailing?"
她为什么这么有名?"Why is she so famous?"
今天我们就来聊聊这位年轻的滑雪运动员。Today we'll talk about this young skiing athlete.
谷爱凌的英文名字叫Eileen Gu。Gu Ailing's English name is Eileen Gu.

首先,我们来看看她的成长故事。First, let's look at her story growing up.
谷爱凌是在美国的旧金山出生的。Gu Ailing was born in San Francisco, USA.
旧金山是一个美国的城市,但是那里也有很多中国人。San Francisco is an American city, but it also has a large Chinese community.
她的爸爸是美国人,妈妈是中国人。Her father is American and her mother is Chinese.
所以,她是一个中美混血儿。So she is a Chinese-American mixed-heritage child.
因为妈妈是中国人,谷爱凌从小就受到中国文化的影响。Because her mother is Chinese, Gu Ailing grew up under the influence of Chinese culture.
她不但会说流利的英语,而且中文也说得特别好。Not only does she speak fluent English, but her Chinese is also exceptionally good.
如果你听她说话,你会觉得她就是一个地道的北京姑娘。If you listen to her speak, you'd think she's a native Beijing girl.
