F: Maybe you could become famous for another reason, besides acting. What about Eva Perόn?
A: What about Eva Perόn? Or should I say "Evita", didn't Madonna play her in the movie?
F: Yes, she did. Evita was an actress, but she became famous for being the First Lady of Argentina. Maybe you could try another approch,.
A: We are complete opposites, I mean she grew up very poor with five brothers and sisters, a mother, and no father.
F: Yes, I know your parents are rich and you are an only chirld. Did you know Eca's mother did not send her to school, but made her work in the kitchens of rich families?

A: 女演员 F: 朋友
A: 唉, 我真希望自己能成为名人.
F: 除了表演这一行之外, 也许在其他方面你也能出名。 象伊娃·庇隆那样怎么样?
A: 伊娃·庇隆吗? 或者我应该说是"埃维塔", 是不是电影中麦当娜扮演的那个?
F: 是的，就是她. 埃维塔是个演员, 但她出名是因为她是阿根廷第一夫人. 也许你可以试试其他途径.
A: 我们两完全不同， 我是说她的家境贫寒, 她和无个兄弟姐妹及母亲生活在一起， 但没有父亲.
F: 是的，我知道你父母很富有, 你还是独生女. 你知道伊娃的妈妈为什么不送她去学校, 而是让她在富人家的厨房干活?
A: 我绝对不会干这样的活. 她16岁就离家出走去了布宜诺斯艾利斯, 后来就当了演员。 我认为这个决定做的很好.
F: 之后，1944年伊娃遇到了年轻的陆军上校胡安·庇隆. 一年后,他们结了婚.1946年, 她帮助他竞选总统,最终获胜.
A: 然后,伊娃创办了自己的基金会, 在阿根廷建了几百所学校和医院. 多么了不起的女人!
F: 此外，伊娃倡导妇女教育，还帮助阿根廷穷苦工人在曾经剥削他们的国家里争取到了发言权和应有的尊重。
A: 那你是说我应该嫁个政治家了？要不就做妇女权利的维护者？
F: 不，不全是这样。我知识想你能从伊娃身上学到很多东西。很多人认为她是个政治家，而不是演员．
A: 阿根廷的历史上从来就没有女政治家，不过人们就是信任她．嗯... ...也许我也可以那样做做。
F: 不幸的是，她的政治生涯只维持了４年。1950年她被查出患有癌症，1952年去世．
A: 我们从埃维塔的故事所能学到的是，与命运抗争并不是不可能的．
F: 在当时，妇女的位置是在家里，而不是在办公室．
A: 也许我能做些志愿者的工作？我愿意帮助他人．多么令人鼓舞的故事！
