The Beckhams moved to America
When David Beckham moved to Los Angeles of America with his family, his three sons hadn’t any probles with the new surroundings. His wife Victoria, a famous singer, said smilingly, “The children are very happy to hear that they can live in California, where there is famous Disneyland.”
Victoria said to the press that many people were curious about their life. She said that she was an ordinary woman, and just married a football star and had three children. But people thought differently. The fact that she married Beckham showed that she was not an ordinary woman. Before moving to America, Victoria thought her children would feel sad, but to her surprise, they were very glad to live in Los Angeles, because were much nearer to Disneyland than before. In order to let people know more about the Beckhams, NBC made a special program about the family. In fact, so many people are concerning the Beckhams, we think that Victoria shouldn’t say that she is just an ordinary woman. (from www.nmet168.com)

贝克汉姆举家迁美
贝克汉姆举家搬到美国洛杉矶后，3个儿子完全没有适应不良的问题，他的妻子著名歌手维多利亚笑着说：“他们乐得很，听到能住到有迪士尼乐园的加州，都举双手赞成。”
不久前维多利亚接受访问时表示，很多人对她的生活很好奇。她说她就如一般的女人，只是嫁给了一个足球明星，有着3个小孩，过着有点梦幻般的生活罢了。她这段话似乎有点虚伪，因为能嫁给黄金右脚贝克汉姆就不能说还是一般的女人。由于举家搬迁到美国，维多莉亚和贝克汉姆一开始还会担心儿子们会排斥，没想到小朋友反而乐得搬到洛杉矶，可以离他们最喜欢的迪士尼乐园近一点。NBC电视台为了让观众一窥贝克汉姆全家人生活，还制作播出了1个小时的特别报导。有这样的媒体关注，相信维多莉亚不应该再说自己还是个普通女人。
