10. 제2의 오프라 윈프리, 슈퍼모델 타이라 뱅크스

 

Tyra Banks was once a top supermodel gracing the covers of the world's elite fashion magazines, but incredibly, today, she is much more than that.

 - grace the cover of: 잡지 등의 표지를 장식하다

 

She is the host of several TV shows that air in more than ten countries. She reminds many people of Oprah Winfrey because both are successful black women hosting their own TV shows.

 - remind A of B: A에게 B를 상기/연상하게 하다

 

Ms. Banks landed her first modeling job in the 11th grade.

 - land job: 일자리를 얻다

 cf. land prize: 상을 타다

 

To become a better runway model, she moved to France, where after only a week in Paris, she had been invited to 25 shows.

 - runway = catwalk: 패션쇼장의 무대, 건물 밖/다리 등에 만들어져 있는 좁은 통로

 - runway: 활주로

 

To launch her career in television, she played Will Smith's friend on the hit comedy Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. These days, she hosts the hit show America's Next Top Model as well as The Tyra Banks Show. The latter is very similar to The Oprah Winfrey Show in that she discusses issues from her childhood and expresses her opinions openly to viewers. To pay tribute to Ms. Banks' dedication and talent, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded her a Daytime Emmy Award in 2008.

 - pay tribute to: ...에게 경의를 표하다
