 释义：三、1、Carlos Acosta是世界上最伟大的芭蕾舞演员之一。他是伦敦科芬特花园的第一位黑人主要舞蹈家。他闻名于世界，在他的祖国古巴，他是一个民族英雄。

卡洛斯1973出生于哈瓦那，他是一个贫困家庭中11个孩子中最小的孩子。他的父亲是一名卡车司机，他的母亲经常遭受健康问题的困扰。

他小时候经常旷课。因为他附近的街道提供了大量的娱乐，他花时间和朋友一起踢足球、跳霹雳舞和突袭附近的芒果园。他是一个精力过剩的孩子并且他是街头霹雳舞冠军，但他却不想当专业舞蹈演员。当他九岁的时候，他的父亲送他去了芭蕾舞学校。卡洛斯讨厌它。他告诉父亲他想做别的事情。在芭蕾舞学校，卡洛斯并不总是一个好学生，也不想成为舞蹈家。但当他13岁的时候，卡洛斯看到了古巴国家芭蕾舞团，他非常喜欢芭蕾舞，以至于他改变了对芭蕾舞的看法。他决定努力工作，三年后，16岁时，他第一次来到欧洲。那一年，他赢得了四个主要的舞蹈比赛，并闻名于世界各地。

现在他是国际明星，在很多国家都跳舞，但是他每年还是回古巴看望家人好几次。因为在这里有他的亲戚和过往的回忆。在他的心里，这是唯一的国家，这是他唯一不会成为外国人的地方。他第一次学会说话，第一次学会跳舞都在古巴！他说在古巴孩子学会先跳舞然后说话，他们会在一起谈论热浪和大海，谈论舞蹈、音乐和幸福。这是一代又一代流传下来的东西。
