第一段：多莉·帕顿离世

英文原文 Dolly Parton, a rhinestone-studded, rags-to-riches daughter of Appalachia who for six decades ruled country music — and much of pop culture — with an outsize personality and down-home wit enshrined her as one of America's most cherished originals, died on Tuesday in Nashville. She was 80. Her death was announced in a video posted on social media by her nephew Bryan Seaver. No cause was provided. Concerns about Ms. Parton's health were raised last year as she postponed and later canceled a Las Vegas residency, and intensified to the point that she took to social media in October to announce, "I ain't dead yet." This May, she said that she had responded well to treatment after her immune and digestive systems had, as she put it, "got all out of whack" in recent years.

中文翻译 多莉·帕顿，这位镶满莱茵石、白手起家的阿巴拉契亚女儿，在长达六十年里以其非凡的个性和朴素的机智统治着乡村音乐界—乃至整个流行文化—被誉为美国最受爱戴的原创艺术家之一，于周二在纳什维尔去世，享年80岁。 她的侄子布莱恩·西弗在社交媒体上发布的一段视频中宣布了她的死讯。死因未予透露。去年，由于她推迟并最终取消了拉斯维加斯驻唱演出，人们对帕顿女士的健康状况产生了担忧；到了10月，她在社交媒体上宣布"我还没死呢"，这种担忧达到了顶峰。今年5月，她表示近年来自己的免疫和消化系统"完全失调"，但她对治疗反应良好。
