[精彩开场]
说到时下红红火火的大学生创业，是不是也曾你心动过呢？微软，雅虎等等都是这类创业的经典案例了，我们现在登陆的沪江也是个很好的例子哦！：）
通常我们把这类年轻有为的成功创业者归类于“早年得志”--- an early bloomer.

[名词解释]
既然我们知道了”an early bloomer”是“早年得志”的意思，那么与之对应的“大器晚成”该作如何解呢？” Great minds mature slowly”? 呵呵，这么说的话，估计中国人也不能一下子反应过来吧，其实有个非常形象、对应的说法，不知道你想到了么？对，就是”a late bloomer”.请看下面的这句话：

While it’s true that we envy an early bloomer, it doesn’t mean that we don’t admire a late bloomer.
早年得志固然让人羡慕不已，大器晚成也让人非常敬佩呢！

同时，an early bloomer和a late bloomer还有（生理上）早熟和晚熟的意思。

Being a "late bloomer" is totally normal and nothing to be ashamed of。
身体晚熟是完全正常的，没有什么好害羞的。

[作业]
1）请翻译下面划线部分的句子：
A girl and her parents may all have mixed feelings about the beginning of her period. Your daughter will be curious and a little excited about this mysterious new level of physical maturity. At the same time, she may not be happy about the physical discomforts and inconveniences. She may feel irritated or even intensely embarrassed by the necessity of changing pads or tampons regularly and making sure she has everything she needs with her all the time. These feelings may increase if she's an early bloomer whose period starts at age nine, or just earlier than her friends. Let her know that you understand her feelings.

2）谈谈你所知的名人中，有哪些是a late bloomer（大器晚成者）的呢？
