Dolly Parton, who rose from humble beginnings to the greatest heights of American music and became one of the country’s most philanthropic, unifying and beloved stars, died Tuesday at her home in Nashville, according to a family statement. She was 80.
据家属声明，多莉·帕顿——从卑微起点登上美国音乐之巅、成为这个国家最有慈善心、最团结人心、最受爱戴的明星之一——周二在纳什维尔的家中去世。享年 80 岁。
The statement, attributed to her nephew Bryan Seaver, said Parton died “peacefully.” A small, private service will be held for her close family, the statement added.
据家属声明（署名其侄子 Bryan Seaver）称，帕顿「安详」离世。声明还说，将为至亲家人举行一场小型私人告别仪式。
In a career that spanned over half a century, Parton captured the American experience, penning more than 3,000 songs. Those included “Coat of Many Colors,” a quiet ode to her mother, who stitched together garments in the family’s rural Tennessee home. She wrote and performed songs of love and heartbreak, like “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You.” “9 to 5,” the title track from the movie of the same name, in which Parton also starred, became an anthem for American women and workers.
在横跨半个多世纪的职业生涯里，帕顿捕捉了美国人的经历，写下 3000 多首歌。其中包括《Coat of Many Colors》——一首献给母亲的安静颂歌，母亲在田纳西乡下的家里缝补衣裳。她写下并演唱关于爱与心碎的歌，如《Jolene》和《I Will Always Love You》。《9 to 5》——同名电影的主题曲（帕顿也参演）——成为美国女性与打工人的赞歌。
Parton went on to release 49 albums and win 11 Grammys, and became one of the most successful country crossover artists of all time, scoring regular hits on the pop charts, including “Islands in the Stream,” a duet with Kenny Rogers.
帕顿后来发行了 49 张专辑、拿下 11 座格莱美，成为史上最成功的乡村跨界艺人之一，在流行榜上屡有热门，包括与肯尼·罗杰斯合唱的《Islands in the Stream》。
Later in life, she funneled her massive success into philanthropy, founding a library program that has gifted more than 300 million books to children around the world.
晚年，她把巨大的成功倾注于慈善，创立了一个图书馆项目，已向全世界的儿童赠出超过 3 亿本书。
