胖胖的Lauren Alaina看起來并不像個(gè)明星，但這個(gè)年輕女孩卻成功書寫了自己的“美國夢(mèng)”——她于2011年贏得了?？怂箯V播公司《美國偶像》（American Idol）第十季的亞軍，從一個(gè)默默無聞的鄉(xiāng)村女孩變成了一顆冉冉升起的明星。

Lauren Alaina出生在美國佐治亞州的一個(gè)小城市。她三歲即表現(xiàn)出了非凡的歌唱天賦，無論在教堂、餐廳、合唱團(tuán)還是家庭聚會(huì)，只要有機(jī)會(huì)，她就一定會(huì)一展歌喉。長(zhǎng)大后，唱功了得且兼具創(chuàng)作才華的Lauren Alaina開始參加各種歌唱比賽，在那個(gè)小城市里，她選擇的是一條“鮮有人走過的路”。她沒有家庭背景，沒有驚艷的外表，有的只是一顆百折不撓的心。為了自己的音樂夢(mèng)想，她在餐廳當(dāng)服務(wù)生，在酒吧當(dāng)駐唱，把眾人的質(zhì)疑和嘲笑拋之腦后。2011年，身經(jīng)百戰(zhàn)的她終于獲得了《美國偶像》的亞軍。正如她在這首“Road Less Traveled”中所唱的：“You won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules. （如果墨守成規(guī)，你就無法成功。）”

Lauren Alaina的歌之所以打動(dòng)人心，就是因?yàn)樗臀覀円粯?，都是平凡卻勇敢的追夢(mèng)人。Lauren Alaina并沒有世俗定義的美貌，甚至還有些胖，但沒人敢否認(rèn)她的魅力。也許正因?yàn)槿绱耍诟枨械谝欢尉吞岢隽速|(zhì)疑：Why do you keep on staring？ That mirror， mirror， it ain't fair at all. （你為什么一直盯著鏡子看呢？鏡子一點(diǎn)都不公平。）接著便給出了對(duì)許多女孩子來說振聾發(fā)聵的提醒：Dress sizes can't define. Don't let the world decide what's beautiful. （裙子尺碼不能定義你。不要讓這個(gè)世界決定什么是美麗。）世上本無事，庸人自擾之。與其拿外界的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)苛求自己，不如立志成為書寫規(guī)則的強(qiáng)者。

Why do you keep on staring

That mirror， mirror， it ain't fair at all

Hmmm

Dress sizes can't define

Don't let the world decide what's beautiful

No

▲ You won't make yourself a name

If you follow the rules

History gets made

When you're acting a fool

So don't hold it back and just run it

Show what you got and just own it

No， they can't tear you apart ▲

★ If you trust your rebel heart

Ride it into battle

Don't be afraid

Take the road less traveled

Wear out your boots

And kick up the gravel

Don't be afraid

Take the road less traveled on ★

☆ Oh whoa oh whoa

Take the road less traveled on ☆

Don't follow anyone

March to the rhythm of a different drum

Hmmm

Why do we analyze

Break out and criticize the crazy ones

Oh

（Refrain ▲）

（Refrain ★）

（Refrain ☆ ☆）

Put your hands up

Show me that you're one of a kind

Put your hands up

Let me hear your voice tonight

Oh

（Refrain ★ ★ ☆）

Wear out your boots

And kick up the gravel

Don't be afraid

Take the road less traveled on

Traveled on

Take the road less traveled on
