\"It's a completely new time for me now， and it's exciting. I feel like I'm coming back as a new artist with a whole new perspective that's all my own. I needed to know as a woman， what I like and who I wanted to be; not be who I was supposed to be in the eyes of others. I needed to be creative again on my own terms.\"

—Delta Goodrem

“這對我來說是一個全新的、激動人心的時期。我感覺我以一個有著自己觀點(diǎn)的新藝術(shù)家的新形象回來了。我需要知道作為一個女人我喜歡什么，我想成為什么，而不是別人期望我成為什么。我需要在我的年代里再次變得富有創(chuàng)造性。”

——黛爾塔·古德萊姆

黛爾塔的童年

Delta Goodrem was born on 9 November 1984 in Sydney. She showed a strong interest in music and performing from a very young age. At the age of seven， she appeared in a commercial for the Galoob toy company and began playing piano at ten years of age while taking up singing， dancing and acting lessons. She had several minor roles in episodes of successful Australian television shows including Hey Dad...!， A Country Practice and Police Rescue.

黛爾塔·古德萊姆于1984年11月9日出生于悉尼。很小的時候，她就顯示出了對音樂和表演的濃厚興趣。7歲時，她在一個Galoob玩具公司的商業(yè)廣告中現(xiàn)身。10歲就在學(xué)習(xí)唱歌、跳舞和表演的時候開始學(xué)習(xí)鋼琴。古德萊姆還在一系列澳大利亞成功的情景劇，例如《嘿，爸爸》《國家行動》和《警察救援》中扮演了小角色。

When Goodrem was at the age of13， Glenn Wheatley， the manager behind many successful Australian artists， interested in Goodrem's potential as a recording artist， signed Goodrem an artist development deal. Between June 1999 and September 2000， she worked with producers Paul Higgins and Trevor Carter for an album called Delta， which saw \"an ambitious 15-year-old keen to emulate the pop sound of the Spice Girls， Britney Spears and Mandy Moore.\"

13歲的時候，古德萊姆和Glenn Wheatley簽署了一個藝術(shù)家發(fā)展協(xié)定。Glenn Wheatley是很多澳大利亞成功藝術(shù)家的經(jīng)理，他對古德萊姆作為一個歌手的潛質(zhì)很感興趣。1999年6月到2000年9月期間，她和制作人Paul Higgins和Trevor Carte一起創(chuàng)作了專輯Delta，里面展示了“一個雄心勃勃的15歲小孩極力模仿風(fēng)味女孩Britney Spears 和Mandy Moore的聲音。”

2001-2003:事業(yè)騰飛

At the age of 15， Goodrem signed a record deal with Sony and began work on an album of pop-dance songs including the unsuccessful debut single I Don't Care . The album and proposed second single A Year Ago Today were pushed aside as a result， allowing Goodrem and Sony to re-evaluate her future musical direction. In 2002， Goodrem took up the role as shy school girl and aspiring singer Nina Tucker in the popular soap Neighbors， which helped re-launch Goodrem's music career.The piano-based ballad Born to Try co-written by Audius Mtawarira premiered on the show and became her first ARIA number one and UK Top 3. Goodrem's role on the show scored her a Logie for \"Most Popular New Talent\" at the 2003 Logie Awards and two other nominations at the 2004 Logie Awards.

15歲的時候，古德萊姆和索尼公司簽署了一個唱片協(xié)議。然后開始制作一個流行舞蹈歌曲的唱片。唱片里她的處女作單曲I Don't Care沒有成功。因此唱片和第二首單曲A Year Ago Today都被放到了一邊，古德萊姆和索尼開始重新考慮她未來的音樂方向。2002年，古德萊姆在流行肥皂劇Neighbors中扮演了一個靦腆的女孩和有抱負(fù)的歌手Nina Tucker。這次演出幫助了古德萊姆音樂事業(yè)的再次騰飛。和Audius Mtawarira一起合作的鋼琴民謠Born to Try在這個肥皂劇里初次公演。這首單曲成了她的第一首排名ARIA第一和英國第三的歌曲。古德萊姆在劇中的角色為她贏得了2003年Logie的“最受歡迎新人獎”和2004年Logie獎的兩項(xiàng)其他提名。

In January 2003， Lost Without You again topped the ARIA singles chartand reached number four in the UK， increasing Goodrem's popularity. Her album Innocent Eyes was released in March and debuted at number-one on the ARIA album charts. It was the highest selling album in Australia of 2003 and sold over a million copies in Australia alone， 2.5 million worldwide. The album also charted highly in the UK， peaking at 2.

2003年1月，Lost Without You再次排到ARIA的單曲第一和英國第四，大大增加了古德萊姆的名聲。她的專輯Innocent Eyes在3月份發(fā)布，剛剛發(fā)布就在ARIA唱片排行榜名列第一。這張專輯是2003年澳大利亞銷量最高的。僅僅在澳大利亞就銷售了超過100萬張，全球銷售了250萬張。這張專輯在英國的排行也很高，排到了第二位。

Not Me， Not I， released following the announcement Goodrem had been diagnosed with cancer， became her fourth consecutive ARIA number-one single.

Not Me， Not I是在宣布她身患癌癥以后發(fā)行的，成為了她連續(xù)第四張ARIA排行第一的單曲。

2007年至今

Her latest album， self titled， Delta， was released on October 20， 2007. Goodrem has described the material as \"...a lot lighter\"， compared to her previous album Mistaken Identity. The album debuted on number-one in the Australian album chart. On 10 August， Goodrem was in Los Angeles to film the music video for In This Life ， the first single. The video revealed a sexier image for the singer， The video premiered on August 31， 2007.

她以自己名字命名的最新專輯Delta，于2007年10月20日發(fā)行。古德萊姆描述它的時候稱，和前一張專輯Mistaken Identity 比“輕柔了很多”。這張專輯在澳大利亞專輯排行榜排名第一。8月10日，古德萊姆在洛杉磯拍攝第一首單曲In This Life的MV。這個ＭＶ展示了歌手的性感形象。ＭＶ在2007年8月31日正式亮相。

On September 15 2007， Goodrem released In This Life ， the first single from her forthcoming album. The second single of the album is Believe Again. The video for the song was one of the most expensive ones made in the Australian music history.

2007年9月15日，古德萊姆發(fā)布了In This Life， 這是她即將發(fā)布的專輯的第一首單曲。第二首是Believe Again，這首歌的視頻是澳大利亞音樂歷史上花費(fèi)最多的一個。

個人魅力：與癌癥抗?fàn)帲^不屈服

On 8 July 2003， at the age of 18， Goodrem was diagnosed with cancer. As a result， she was forced to put all working commitments on hold while undertaking treatment for the disease. As part of her treatment， Goodrem undertook chemotherapy and radiation therapy，which resulted in the loss of her hair.

2003年7月8日，18歲的古德萊姆被確診身患癌癥。她在接受治療的時候不得不停下手上的事務(wù)。作為治療的一部分，古德萊姆接受了化療和放射治療，導(dǎo)致了她的頭發(fā)脫落。

News of her diagnosis made newspaper and television headlines and an outpouring of support was shown by fans and the general public. Much of Goodrem's 2004 album Mistaken Identity —in particular Extraordinary Day — is inspired by her battle.

她的病情成為了電視和報紙的頭條。她得到了歌迷和民眾潮水般的支持。2004年的專輯Mistaken Identity的大部分，特別是單曲《特別的日子》都是從和癌癥的抗?fàn)幹蝎@得靈感的。

Born to try

生為拼搏

Doing everything that I believe in

Going by the rules that I've been taught

More understanding of what's around me

And protected from the walls of love

心中的信仰是我行動的源泉

他人的教導(dǎo)是我行事的準(zhǔn)則

我要更多地了解這個世界

并在愛的呵護(hù)下成長

All that you see is me

And all I truly believe

That I was born to try

I've learned to love

Be understanding

And believe in life

But you've got to make choices

Be wrong or right

Sometimes you've got to sacrifice

the things you like

But I was born to try

你的眼里全是我

我更相信 生為拼搏

我已學(xué)會如何去愛

已懂得要相互諒解

并對生活充滿信心

但你得做出選擇

不管對錯

有時你只能舍棄所愛

生為拼搏
