Olivia Rodrigo: A Star with a Big Heart
奧莉維亞：慷慨善良的明星
“Every day is an opportunity to learn more about who you are,” says singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo. Though these words of wisdom apply to us all, they’re especially true for the 22-year-old star, who rose to almost instant musical fame in 2021. Making it big at such a young age was a shock to the artist. However, it also gave her a chance to tell stories that explore who she is and resonate with people around the world.
「每一天都是更加了解自己的機會」，詞曲創作歌手奧莉維亞．羅德里戈這麼說。雖然這句睿智的話適用我們每個人，但對這位二十二歲的明星來說尤其如此，她於二○二一年在樂壇幾乎一夕成名。這麼年輕就功成名就對這位藝人而言是一件令人震驚的事。然而，這也讓她有機會去講述探索自我以及與世界各地的人產生共鳴的故事。

Born and raised in California, Rodrigo started acting as a child. She appeared in Disney shows like Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. But her first passion was music, and she began creating her own tunes at age 12. Years later, Rodrigo’s first album, Sour, was an immediate success, with the song “Drivers License” breaking streaming records in its first week. In 2023, she followed up with the album Guts, which strengthened her reputation for powerful emotional tracks.
羅德里戈在加州出生長大，從小便開始演戲。她曾參演過《音樂玩家》和《歌舞青春：再譜樂曲系列》等迪士尼節目。但她最初的熱愛是音樂，並在十二歲就開始創作自己的歌曲。多年後，羅德里戈的首張專輯《Sour》一炮而紅，其中〈駕照〉一曲在發行第一週就打破了串流播放紀錄。二○二三年，她接著推出專輯《Guts》，鞏固了她擅長詮釋情感充沛的歌曲的名聲。

The singer is currently on her Guts World Tour. Being part Filipina, Rodrigo was especially excited for her show in Manila because it marked her first performance in the Philippines. She even set ticket prices at less than ＄30 to make the concert affordable for more fans.
這位歌手目前正在進行她的「Guts世界巡迴演唱會」。羅德里戈有部分的菲律賓血統，她對於在馬尼拉的演出感到特別興奮，因為這是她在菲律賓的首次演出。她甚至將票價定在三十美元以下，好讓更多歌迷都能負擔得起這場演唱會。

Rodrigo is more than just a performer, though. She cares deeply about helping others and uses her voice to support causes that matter. All of the profits from her Manila show, for example, went to a charity that provides female health care in the Philippines. She also helped raise over ＄6 million for research into a cure for a rare skin condition that can be fatal. 
不過，羅德里戈不僅僅是一名表演者。她還非常關心於助人，並利用自己的發言權來支持重要的公益事業。例如，她將馬尼拉演出的所有收益都捐給了一家在菲律賓為女性提供醫療保健服務的慈善機構。她還協助募集了超過六百萬美元，用於研究一種可能致命的罕見皮膚疾病的療法。

One of Rodrigo’s first nonmusical projects saw her team up with Instagram to promote positive social media use. “Posting kind comments is an easy way to brighten up someone’s day,” the star said. Through such initiatives, Rodrigo encourages her fans to lift each other up and make a difference in the world through kindness and care. 
羅德里戈早期的非音樂公益項目之一是與Instagram合作，提倡正面使用社群媒體。這位明星表示：「發布善意的評論是讓別人的一天充滿歡樂的簡單方法」。透過這樣的倡議，羅德里戈鼓勵歌迷相互鼓舞，並透過善意與關懷來改變世界。

Rodrigo’s journey shows how you can follow your dreams while also improving others’ lives along the way. Not content with simply making music, she uses her influence to bring about positive change wherever she goes. So, no matter where life takes the singer, her message will always be clear: Be true to yourself and make the world a better place.
羅德里戈的旅程展示了你如何在追夢的同時也能改善他人的生活。她並不滿足於單純創作音樂，不管到哪裡她都利用自己的影響力帶來正面的改變。因此，無論生命將這位歌手帶向何方，她的訊息將始終明確：忠於自己，並讓世界變得更美好。
