(Reporter= R, Elvis Presley=E)

R: So Elvis, you were born on 8 th January 1935, weren’t you?

E: Yes, that’s right. I was born in a place called Mississippi(密西西比).

R: Mississippi’s pretty famous, isn’t it?

E: Yes. Mostly because people find it difficult to spell!

R: So, tell me something about your childhood. Life wasn’t easy, was it?

E: No, not really. We were a poor family. My father was a milkman, so he didn’t make much money. I was the only kid who went to school with no shoes on. After I left school, I became a part-time(兼职的) truck driver.

R: But it was your father who bought you your first instruction(乐器), wasn’t it?

E: No, actually it was my mum. She bought me on my 10th birthday. I’ll never forget that. I’ll never forget my mother.

R: She died when you were quite young, didn’t she?

E: I was 24 when she died.

R: You’re always liked listening to rock and roll, haven’t you?

E: Yes. I grew up loving music. I listened to blue, pop and gospel music. I love any type of music, especially loud music and of course, rock and roll is always my favorite.

R: You haven’t always had your own recording studio(录音室), have you?

E: No, I made my first record in a studio owned by someone else. That was in 1954.

R: People say your music has changed as you’ve grown older. It’s become a bit more commercial(商业化), hasn’t it?

E: I don’t know. People say all kinds of things about me. They say I’ve put on weight, too. I’m not too fat, am I?

R: It doesn’t really matter. You’ll always be the greatest musical artist of the 20th century, however much you weigh!
