近日，著名歌手莫文蔚登上了热搜。原因是，她在新加坡记者会上突然宣布将不再举办大型巡演，令所有人错愕。
不过，她在采访中也表示自己永远不会退休，只是人生进入了下半场，自己想要寻求新的挑战——做出属于华人的音乐剧。
有相关媒体猜测，进入人生下半场的莫文蔚可能与著名歌手蔡健雅和著名导演李安合作拍摄音乐剧。来看看具体的报道。
温馨提示：可以边听边看↓↓（这首普特君很喜欢！）
It's official: Hong Kong pop diva Karen Mok will retire from concert touring after the end of her current world tour, aptly titled The Ultimate Karen Mok Show, which celebrates her 25 years in show business.
官宣了。随着为庆祝自己从业25年而举办的“绝色·世界巡回演唱会”接近尾声，香港流行音乐天后莫文蔚称结束后将不再举办巡演。
This means her one-night-only show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Jun 15 will mark the last time the singer-actress will stage a 'pop concert of this scale' here in Singapore.
这也就意味着莫文蔚6月15号晚在新加坡室内体育馆的演唱会将成为她最后一场“具有巡演规模”的演出。
“It's the gut feel that now it's the right time,” she told CNA Lifestyle during an interview in Singapore to promote the concert. “Even on day one, when I started my career, I told myself ‘One should really try to quit at the top, at the peak.’”
“直觉告诉我是时候了”，莫文蔚在新加坡为演唱会做宣传时这样说。“从我入行的第一天起，我就告诉自己‘要学会急流勇退，或者说是功成身退’”。
“It will be very difficult because first of all you need to know when your peak is, before you start going downhill,” she added ,with a laugh.
“这样做很难，因为在走下坡路之前你就需要知道自己何时才能到达成功的顶峰”，莫文蔚笑着说。
She explained that “because this industry is very addictive”, one would always feel that their next peak or next high “will be the next one”.
她还解释说“因为做这一行特别容易上瘾”，容易让人们产生一种感觉，即事业的下一个顶点或高峰期“会在下一个阶段到来”。
“And that it will keep getting better and better,” she said. “But no, at some point, it will max out. And you need to have the wisdom of that. I feel that now is the best time, for me to call it a day and move on to the next thing.”
“并且会感觉自己的事业会越来越蒸蒸日上”，莫文蔚说。“但是，事实不是这样的。事业在某个节点会达到巅峰。然后，你就需要做出明智的选择。我感觉现在就是最佳时机，是时候进入人生的下半场了。”
This is not to say that she thinks she will go downhill, and the almost 49-year-old (her birthday is Jun 2) would like to underscore.
这不是说莫文蔚会走下坡路，今年即将年满49岁（6月2日生日）的她还强调说。
“But you have to acknowledge that physical state, your stamina and all these other things,” she said. “Things that you have to consider as a performer and that you have to take into account.”
“但是，你需要清楚自己的身体状态，精力和其他一些因素”，她说。“你需要以一个表演者的身份去考虑你需要考虑的一些事情”。
Twenty-six long years in the entertainment business has seen her go from stride to stride: From releasing more than 30 music albums and picking up Golden Melody Awards (the most prestigious awards in Chinese music) along the way, to collecting accolades and nominations for her acting in a diverse filmography that includes God Of Cookery, Tempting Heart and Man of Tai Chi with Keanu Reeves.
长达26年的从业生涯见证了莫文蔚一步步的成长。她发行了30多张专辑，多次斩获台湾金曲奖（华语流行音乐最权威的奖项），出演包括《食神》，《心动》以及与基努·李维斯（Keanu Reeves）一同出演的《太极侠》在内的多部影片为她赢得广泛的赞誉和奖项提名。
But retiring from concert touring does not mean retiring from creating music, making movies or even future collaborations.
莫文蔚只是不再开巡演，这并不代表她彻底与音乐创作绝缘。她在未来还会与其他人进行电影或音乐上的合作。
莫文蔚在接受新加坡媒体采访时，还称期待与曾获得奥斯卡最佳导演奖的李安合作。她是这样说的。
'He is my hero... he can tackle any film genre' she gushed. 'I got to meet him when I performed at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony last year and I told him that if he should ever consider doing a film musical, he should remember me.'
“他是我的英雄...他可以拍任何题材的电影”，莫文蔚谈起李安时全是溢美之词。“去年，我在金马奖表演的时候见到他了，我告诉他可以考虑拍一部歌舞片，他应该还记得”。
On the Singapore front, she would love to collaborate directly with Singapore's Tanya Chua ('I know her very well') and perhaps land a part in the Crazy Rich Asians sequel.
面对新加坡媒体，莫文蔚还说她很想与蔡健雅（“我跟她很熟”）合作，她两可能在《摘金奇缘》续集当中出演某个角色。
How about a Crazy Rich Asians musical instead, we suggest?
把《摘金奇缘》拍成音乐剧，你看这个提议如何？
'Oh wow! Why not? I think that would be really fun!' she replied. 'Thanks for the idea!'
“哇！为什么不呢？我想那会非常有意思”，莫文蔚回应说。“谢谢你出的好主意”！
自称为“工作狂”的莫文蔚“人生下半场”会有哪些计划呢？在中国将音乐剧发展成一项产业可能会是其中之一。
“You look at China or this whole greater China, it’s so massive! It would be stupid to not have a musical theatre industry,” she said. “We need something like that. London has their West End, and New York has Broadway. I think Chinese audiences are ready for their own version.”
“中国地大物博，所以非常适合发展音乐剧产业”，莫文蔚说。“我们需要自己的音乐剧。伦敦有西区，纽约有百老汇。我认为中国观众正在翘首以盼”。
Mok, who once played Mimi in the Asian tour of the Broadway hit Rent in 2005, believes that “musical theatre is the highest form of performing”.
2005年，百老汇音乐剧《吉屋出租》亚洲巡演，扮演“Mimi”的正是莫文蔚。她认为“音乐剧是表演的最高形式”。
“You have to incorporate singing, dancing, acting – and do it all at once,” she said. “I think I'm in the position to do that. It's kind of like my job. My mission. My calling.
“你需要将唱歌、跳舞和表演融于一体，一次性完成”，莫文蔚说。“我认为我很适合演音乐剧，有点像我的工作，同时也是我的使命和我的责任。”
“I hope the first project that I do will not be a franchise like the Lion King or something,” she added with a smile. “To actually grow such an industry we need original material so hopefully I will be able to make some contributions towards this.”
“我希望出演的第一场音乐剧不是像《狮子王》和其他一些作品那样经典”，莫文蔚笑着说。“发展音乐剧产业，我们需要原创题材，我希望能为此尽自己的一份绵薄之力”。
所以，不论是爱豆的演唱会，还是见面会等相关一切活动，有机会的话就去争取。别等到失去机会让自己遗憾。
讲完大道理，再来看看网友的脑洞，有网友在遗憾自己没去看过莫文蔚的演唱会，而许多网友则将所有关注点放在了莫文蔚的腿上，也难怪在搜索引擎上搜“莫文蔚”提示的第一个关键词是“腿”。
随意感受一下。你是不是很难相信，这居然是一个快49岁的歌手的身材........尤其是腿，众网友表示超级羡慕了。
其实，在某次接受采访时，莫文蔚表示，变老是一件很自然的事情。关键在于自律，要记得保持自律，保持良好的生活和锻炼习惯。正是对自己身材一直保持严格管理，才让莫文蔚在如此年纪依然拥有魔鬼般的身材。
了解莫文蔚了吧？她就是这样一个喜欢不断迎接新挑战的人，相信你通过她的这次“急流勇退”已经看出来了。但是，通过下面这次在央视《开讲啦》的演讲，相信你更能全方位的了解她，更能理解她这次的决定。
正如莫文蔚所说，“每个人应该偶尔要跳出去，离开自己熟悉的环境，要面对一些陌生的环境，面对陌生的地方和人，你只能透过这样子才可以重新认识自己，或者发现自己。”
你是不是也深有体会呢？是不是也更理解了这次她“不再开大型巡演”的选择了呢？
