7.碧昂斯过去曾患抑郁症后拥有了第二自我虚拟莎夏
Shortly after the success of The Writing's On The Wall tensions began to show in the group.
在专辑《The writing's on the wall》大获成功没多久，一种紧绷气氛便弥漫在组合成员之间。
Two members, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett started to complain about the way that Beyonce's father managed the bad complaining that he prioritized her interests over and above those of the other band members.
成员LaTavia Roberson和LeToya Luckett开始抱怨的碧昂斯的父亲的管理方式，她们觉得碧昂斯的利益被她父亲作为组合管理人放在了其他成员之上。而乐队的其他成员此时也同意将换掉这两位常常抱怨的成员。
The band members agreed to replace them with two alternatives, Farrah Franklin and Michelle Williams.
于是她们便被Farrah Franklin和Michelle Williams取而代之。
Upset with the split and saying that they had only meant to raise complaints not end up being forced out of the band (they found out that they had been fired while watching television, they were not told directly) LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Lucket issued court proceedings against Beyonce's father and the other band members.
LaTavia Roberson和LeToya Luckett大概只是想抱怨几句，却不曾想自己会被踢出组合（她们声称自己被踢出去的原因竟然是偷看了电视，而此前从来没有人告诉过她们不能私下看电视），一怒之下，她们二人将碧昂斯的父亲和组合其他成员告上了法庭。
Beyonce was widely blamed for the split in what became a long running and very unpleasant media battle.
碧昂斯因组合分裂而遭受公众谩骂，更不幸的是这次事件愈演愈烈，最后竟发展地演变成了一场历时不短的媒体口水战。

Her long term boyfriend dumped her at the same time as all this was going on and Farrah Franklin left shortly thereafter citing a poor and negative atmosphere in the group.
外界纷争不断的同时，碧昂斯被交往已久的男朋友无情甩掉，Farrah Franklin也在组合中掀起了不小的负面影响后离开了组合。
The lawsuit was finally settled in 2000 but the episode had left its scars.
官司终于在2000年终结，碧昂斯的心中却永远的留下了这次闹剧的伤疤。
Beyonce found it very difficult to leave her room, could not bring herself to eat and ended up suffering from a long lasting depression.
碧昂斯不想离开自己的房间，吃不下东西，最终患上了抑郁症，病情持续了很久的时间。
She found it almost impossible to speak out about the depression because of the success her band were enjoying at that time with their first Grammy Award and a range of other accolades.
她甚至不能对人讲她患上了抑郁症，因为那个时候他的组合刚刚赢得了第一座格莱美奖杯，每个人都沉浸在胜利的喜悦里。
Eventually she turned to her mother who helped her through the episode.
最终，碧昂斯只能向母亲求助，艰难地从抑郁中解脱出来。
Beyonce is naturally shy with a very different personality to her stage presence.
碧昂斯生性害羞，在舞台上却热情似火。
Initially she found it very difficult to separate the two and so created an alter-ego called Sasha Fierce in order to allow her to maintain her own private identity.
她发现自己很难将这两个人格区分开来，最终她创造出了一个虚拟的第二自我，并起名为虚拟莎夏，藉此希望自己可以拥有完整独立的人格。
Sasha Fierce even appeared by name in one of Beyonce's albums I am Sasha Fierce but not long thereafter Beyonce decided that she felt comfortable enough in her own skin to manage without her alter-ego and 'killed' her.
莎夏甚至是碧昂斯一张专辑的名字——《我是莎夏》。最终碧昂斯完全康复了，就算没有虚拟莎夏这个第二自我，也可以完美地在众人面前生活、表演了。

4.The Couple Are Incredibly Wealthy
4.这对夫妇豪得难以置信
Beyonce's successful and stellar career and her many endorsement agreements have made her a very wealthy woman indeed.
超一流的事业和代言合约让碧昂斯赚得盆满钵满。
Forbes magazine began to focus on her net worth in 2008 when it was estimated that her earnings were in the region of $80 million for that year which made her the best paid musical personality at that time, even more successful, in monetary terms than both Madonna and Celine Dion.
自2008年起，《福布斯》杂志开始关注她的资产净值，据估计其收入位于八千万美元区，这使她成为当年福布斯最会挣钱女艺人，甚至超过了麦当娜和席琳·迪翁。
She does not earn quite that much every year, in 2012 her solo earnings were a 'mere' $40 million.
但她并不是每年都挣这么多，2012年，其个人收入是“区区”四千万美元。
Jay Z 's successful career combined with his wife's earnings make them an extremely wealthy couple. In 2012 they topped the list of the World's Highest Paid Celebrity Couples when they earned a combined $78 million.
Jay Z成功的事业加上妻子碧昂斯的捞金能力使他们这一对夫妇极其富裕。在2012年，他们共赚得7800万美元，在全球收入最高夫妇榜单中登顶。

By 2013 her endorsements of Pepsi and HM were really paying off and she and Jay Z became the first billion dollar couple in the music industry.
2013年，她得到了百事和HM的全额代言费，这对夫妇也因此成为了音乐界第一对“十亿美元夫妇”。
This earned her the ranking of the fourth most powerful celebrity and by the end of 2014 MTV announced that she was the highest paid black musician ever.
碧昂斯也借此在世界最有权力的女性中排名第四，2014年末，MTV委员会表示，碧昂斯是有史以来薪酬最高的黑人女歌手。
As if this were not enough Beyonce's rise appears to be unstoppable and in 2014 she was ranked first on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list with earnings of $115 million in the previous year. Her net worth is currently believed to be (as of 2015) approximately $250 million.
然而，这似乎还不足以彰显她的富裕，2014年她在福布斯百位名人榜中，以上一年一亿一千五百万美元的收入排名第一。其资产净值目前（到2015年）被认为在2,5亿美元左右。
