下面 <P>[IMG]http://www.hongen.com/eng/fun/life/img/0218mod7.jpg[/IMG]</P><P>Laetitia Maria Laure Casta was born on May 11, 1978 in Port-Audemer in Normandy, France. Her childhood was spent in Normandy's countryside- playing in the rivers and the woods with her older brother. Back then, she was such a tomboy that she was often mistaken for a little boy. </P><P>[IMG]http://www.hongen.com/eng/fun/life/img/0218mod2.jpg[/IMG]</P><P>When she was fifteen, Laetitia was discovered while vacationing with her family on a beach in Corsica. She was making sand castles with her little sister when a photographer for Madison Models approached her. He handed her father a business card and an invitation to bring his daughter to Paris for some test shots. Suspicious at first, her parents eventually <B>caved [1]</B> to Laetitia's pleas.</P><P>[IMG]http://www.hongen.com/eng/fun/life/img/0218mod4.jpg[/IMG]</P><P>Within weeks of her first shoot, she was walking the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier. Having never worn <B>make-up [2]</B>, she screamed when she caught her reflection in the mirror. But anyway, by the time of sixteen, she had landed three magazine covers.</P><P>Until she turned 21, Laetitia lived at home with her parents. Now she shares an apartment in London with her older brother, Jean-Baptiste. Her favorite activities include painting, writing, going to the cinema, <B>go-carting [3]</B> with her brother and dancing to disco music. Proving not to be just a pretty face, Laetitia holds a<B> brown belt [4]</B> in Judo. </P><P>[IMG]http://www.hongen.com/eng/fun/life/img/0218mod3.jpg[/IMG]</P><P>1978年5月11日Laetitia Maria Laure Casta生于法国诺曼底的Port-Audemer。她的童年生活是在诺曼底的乡下渡过的——跟她哥哥在河流、森林中嬉戏。那时候她顽皮得不象个女孩，所以经常有人将她误认成男孩。</P><P>Laetitia是在十五岁那年被星探发现的，当时她和和家人在科西嘉岛的海滩渡假。她和妹妹正玩砌沙子城堡的时候，一个为麦迪森模特公司工作的摄影师走近了她。他将名片递给Laetitia的父亲，并邀请他带Laetitia去巴黎试镜。尽管开始Laetitia的父母有些半信半疑，但是后来还是架不住Laetitia的苦苦哀求，接受了摄影师的邀请。</P><P>在她初次露面的前几周时间里，她在T型台上为Jean Paul Gaultier这个牌子展示服装。因为她以前从来没有化过妆，所以当她看到镜子里的自己时，忍不住尖叫起来。但不管怎么说，到了16岁的时候，Laetitia已经成了三份时装杂志的封面女郎。</P><P>Laetitia 21岁之前都和父母一起住在家中。现在她和哥哥Jean-Baptiste一起住在伦敦的一家公寓里。她最喜欢的活动包括画画、写作、看电影、和哥哥玩微型赛车以及随着迪斯科音乐跳舞。为了证明自己不仅仅是有张漂亮脸蛋，Laetitia还是个配有褐带的三段柔道手。 </P><P><B>注释： </B></P><P><B>1. cave</B>：众所周知cave是“洞穴”的意思，用作动词也通常表示“洞穴的坍塌，内陷”，看看这个句子：You need to go to sleep.Your face ready to cave in. 到底什么意思呢？这个词还有另外一个我们平时用得不是很多的用法——由于疲劳垮下来。现在再回头看看？很容易了吧？</P><P><B>2. make-up</B>：
女孩子喜欢让自己漂漂亮亮的，那么脸蛋就成了最好动手的地方：She makes up her face.（她往脸上施脂粉。）此外make-up 还可以用来表达“捏造”。以前上学的时候总会有一两个人总是迟到，所以我就常听到各种各样的理由，可信程度有多少？大家都知啦！He made up excuses for his being late.（他为迟到编造各种借口。）</P><P><B>3. go-cart</B>：
可别把这个家伙当成动词，它实际上是一个名词表示童车、学步车、手推车等等。这个词还有一个双胞胎兄弟——go-kart。 </P><P><B>4. brown belt</B>：
柔道等运动中低于黑腰带级的褐色腰带级。</P>
