Westlife intro
The story begins a long long time ago (well, not quite, but.. y’know...!) in a town named Sligo in the West of Ireland. Three guys named Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan had performed in the school musical Grease together, and after their success on stage, had decided to form a band, called 6 as 1, and later changing their name to I.O.YOU.
Mark, Kian and Shane in I.O.YOU (also pictured are Derek, Graham and Michael)
The group released a single "Together Girl Forever" in Ireland, and after limited success, Shane’s mother, Mae, contacted the manager of Boyzone, Louis Walsh, to try and persuade him to take a look at the guys and to possibly sign them up. Although Louis was impressed he felt he didn’t have the time to manage yet another band. But...luckily for us... he contacted Ronan Keating of Boyzone, who agreed to co-manage the new band with Louis. And so ’Rolo Management’ was formed.

The lineup of I.O.YOU was changed - 3 members (Derek, Graham and Michael) being asked to leave, and auditions were then held in Dublin to find two new members for the group. Nicky Byrne and Bryan McFadden were eventually chosen...Westlife were born!

The group (who were originally known as Westside - their name having been changed by Ronan who felt that I.O.YOU was too boyband-esque) first supported the Backstreet Boys in Dublin, and then toured the UK and Ireland with Boyzone in November 1998. They stunned audiences on the Smash Hits Tour around the UK, winning "Best New Tour Act" at the Smash Hits Awards in November 1998.

However, the group were obliged to change their name from Westside to Westlife early in 1999 when it was discovered that a number of existing bands shared the same name.
Undeterred, Westlife went on to release their first single Swear it Again in April 1999 which went straight to the top of the British and Irish charts, becoming the biggest-selling debut single ever in Ireland.
As of November 2005, far Westlife have released eighteen singles in the UK, with a massive thirteen number ones!
Their double A-side of I Have a Dream and Seasons in the Sun became the UK Christmas number one of 1999. Their eagerly-awaited debut album was released in the UK in November 1999 and has acheived triple platinum status. Winning Record of the Year for Flying Without Wings in 1999 and My Love in the following year, as well as gaining numerous awards left right and centre, it is clear that Westlife have achieved much acclaim and enjoyed a lot of success. Already in their brief career Westlife have broken records as fast as they have set them - their second album, Coast To Coast went triple platinum in Ireland after only one day of release, and their seventh single release, My Love, gave them a place in chart history as they became the only band in UK chart history to have their first seven singles debut at number one.
2002 saw the group release their first Greatest Hits album, and Westlife’s subsequent album, Turnaround, released November 2003, continued Westlife’s success, going straight into the charts at number one.
March 2004 saw a new chapter begin for the group as Bryan McFadden announced his departure from the band, citing his desire to spend more time with his young family. Rumours suggested that this might be the beginning of the end for the group, however Westlife have set the critics wrong once again.
Westlife - now a four-piece in the tradition of all great pop acts - remain Ireland’s most well-known and biggest selling pop export and undoubtedly one of the world’s biggest pop groups. Their latest album, Face to Face, released November 2005, became their 7th number 1 album in the UK in as many years.
With soulful harmonies, angelic voices, drop-dead good looks, and the management of pop svengali Louis Walsh behind them, their much-anticipated tour in 2006 mean that Westlife look set to enjoy chart success for many years to come!

求波兰女诗人辛波丝卡的《Love at First Sight》波兰原文

一见钟情
辛波丝卡
They’re both convinced
他们两人都相信
that a sudden passion joined them.
是一股突发的热情让他俩交会。
Such certainty is beautiful,
这样的笃定是美丽的，
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.
但变化无常更是美丽。
Since they’d never met before, they’re sure
既然从未见过面，所以他们确定
that there’d been nothing between them.
彼此并无任何瓜葛。
But what’s the word from the streets, staircases, hallways---
但是听听自街道、楼梯、走廊传出的话语——
perhaps they’ve passed by each other a million times?
他俩或许擦肩而过一百万次了吧？
I want to ask them
我想问他们
if they don’t remember---
是否记不得了——
a moment face to face
在旋转门
in some revolving door?
面对面那一刻？
perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd?
或者在人群中喃喃说出的“对不起”？
a cut "wrong number" caught in the receiver?
或者在听筒截获的唐突的“打错了”？
but I know the answer.
然而我早知他们的答案。
No, they don’t remember.
是的，他们记不得了。
They’d be amazed to hear
他们会感到诧异，倘若得知
that Chance has been toying with them now for years.
缘分已玩弄他们多年。
Not quite ready yet
尚未完全做好，
to become their Destiny,
成为他们命运的准备，
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
缘分将他们推近，驱离，
it barred their path,
阻挡他们的去路，
stifling a laugh,
憋住笑声
and then leaped aside.
然后闪到一边。
There were signs and signals,
有一些迹象和信号存在，
even if they couldn’t read them yet.
即使他们尚无法解读。
Perhaps three years ago
也许在三年前
or just last Tuesday
或者就在上个星期二
a certain leaf fluttered from one shoulder to another?
有某片叶子飘舞于肩与肩之间？
Something was dropped and then picked up.
有东西掉了又捡了起来？
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished
天晓得，也许是那个
into childhood’s thicket?
消失于童年灌木丛中的球？
There were doorknobs and doorbells
还有事前已被触摸
where one touch had covered another
层层覆盖的
beforehand.
门把和门铃。
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
检查完毕后并排放置的手提箱。
One night, perhaps, the same dream,
有一晚，也许同样的梦，
grown hazy by morning.
到了早晨变得模糊。
Every beginning
每个开始
is only a sequel, after all,
毕竟都只是续篇，
and the book of events
而充满情节的书本
is always open halfway through.
总是从一半开始看起.
Love at First Sight
Wislawa Szymborska
Both are convincedthat a sudden surge of emotion bound them together.Beautiful is such a certainty,but uncertainty is more beautiful.Because they didn’t know each other earlier, they suppose thatnothing was happening between them.What of the streets, stairways and corridorswhere they could have passed each other long ago?I’d like to ask themwhether they remember-- perhaps in a revolving doorever being face to face?an "excuse me" in a crowdor a voice "wrong number" in the receiver.But I know their answer:no, they don’t remember.They’d be greatly astonishedto learn that for a long timechance had been playing with them.Not yet wholly readyto transform into fate for themit approached them, then backed off,stood in their wayand, suppressing a giggle,jumped to the side. There were signs, signals:but what of it if they were illegible.Perhaps three years ago,or last Tuesdaydid a certain leaflet flyfrom shoulder to shoulder?There was something lost and picked up.Who knows but what it was a ballin the bushes of childhood.There were doorknobs and bellson which earliertouch piled on touch.Bags beside each other in the luggage room.Perhaps they had the same dream on a certain night,suddenly erased after waking.Every beginningis but a continuation,and the book of eventsis never more than half open.-translated by Walter Whipple
