Why CL won't stop until she's conquered America
CL在YouTube上的视频点击量达到上百万次。美国时尚设计师亚历山大·王和杰瑞米·斯科特把她视作自己的密友和女神（muse）。曼斯德·曼也在她的新专辑《嗨起来》(LIFED)MV中出任主演。
Her videos on YouTube are viewed by millions, American fashion designers Alexander Wang and Jeremy Scott regard her as their friend and muse, and Method Man features in her latest music video
“不管走到哪里，我都可以看到她的粉丝，智利、巴西，甚至遍布全欧洲。她不仅仅是一名亚韩明星，她更是一位全球巨星。”在纽约时装周(New York Fashion Week)杰瑞米·斯科特对CNN Style的后台人员说到。
"I go around the world, I've seen her fans in Chile, in Brazil, obviously all through Europe. I mean she's not just a Korean or an Asian phenomenon, she really is a global superstar." Jeremy Scott tells CNN Style backstage at New York Fashion Week.
你可能不知道CL或李彩琳是谁，但她将用自己的方式成为超级巨星(mega-star)。
You may be forgiven for not yet knowing who CL, or Lee Chae-rin, is, but if she has her way, she'll soon be a mega-star.
韩流天后 K-pop Queen
韩流明星CL，是2NE1组合的队长，该组合在2014年发行的专辑《迷恋》成为全美音乐200强排行榜历史上销量最高(best-selling)及排名最靠前（highest-charting）的韩语专辑。
A K-pop poster girl, CL fronted the all-girl group 2NE1, whose 2014 album "Crush" became the best-selling and highest-charting Korean album in US Billboard 200history.
在此之前，CL已经发行了自己的单曲《坏丫头》（The Badest Female）。
In the year prior to the band's US Billboard success, CL had already released her first solo track "The Baddest Female".
2014年她正式宣布自己将作为独唱艺人（solo artist）进军美国市场，并签约美国音乐公司斯科特·布劳恩，该公司的代表艺人有亚瑟和爱莉安娜·格兰德。
She announced her intentions to formally debut as a solo artist in the US in 2014, and partnered with American music agent Scooter Braun, who has represented Usher and Ariana Grande, among others.
席卷全美 Breaking America
就像许多明星一样，CL的演艺事业也经历过一些坎坷（knocks）。
Like many young stars, CL's experience has not been without a few knocks.
我的粉丝如今都是喜欢上网的人，所以遍布在世界各地。如果我可以激励（inspire）他们，我会很开心，当然如果他们不喜欢我，我也不会介意。
"These days, I mean my fans are internet kids. So they're everywhere ... I'm happy you know, if I can inspire them, or even if they hate me.
“讨厌一个人或一件事需要很多精力，所以我很感谢讨厌我的人!！”她说。
"It takes so much more effort and energy to hate something or someone or anything so, I appreciate the hate!" she says.
但是25岁的CL准备去美国开展她的事业，并与美国的观众产生音乐共鸣（resonate）。
But the 25-year-old is determined to see her music resonate with an American audience.
“我花费了大量的精力和时间打入美国市场，我要这么做也必须这么做，这关乎我怎么做，传达什么样的信息，我代表谁以及我是谁。我想把它做好，所以才筹划了这么久。”
"I feel like I put so much energy and time into it that I, I'm going to, I have to do it. I think it's also about how you do it and what the message is and who I represent and who I am. So I want to do it right, and that's why it's taking so long."
