全文翻譯：
Described by his peers and family as “a bloody exasperating child,” Paul Bono got a reputation at an early age for both forgetting things and arguing a lot. He was also wickedly curious. From a strange cross of punk rock and blues music plus a bad attitude, a star was born.
被同儕和家人形容為「一個非常讓人頭痛的小孩」，保羅‧博諾（Paul Bono）從小就因為愛忘東西和愛爭辯而出了名。他也有著強烈的好奇心。從朋克搖滾和藍調音樂的奇特融合，再加上一種惡劣的態度，一顆明星就此誕生。
Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, in 1960, Paul Hewson (known as his stage name Bono) is the second child of Bobby and Iris Hewson. Like any other person, Paul has suffered many ups and downs in his life. At age 14, Paul experienced the loss of his beloved mother. Some people say that she died at her father’s funeral and others say it was a few days after. Whenever it was, it must have been a terrible thing for the young boy.
保羅‧休森（Paul Hewson，藝名 Bono）於1960年出生並成長於愛爾蘭都柏林，是鮑比與愛莉絲‧休森的第二個孩子。就像其他人一樣，保羅經歷過人生的高低起伏。14歲時，他失去了摯愛的母親。有些人說她是在她父親的葬禮上過世的，也有些人說是幾天後。不論是哪一天，對這位少年來說，這肯定是一件極為痛苦的事。
It was not long after his mother’s death that Paul got his new name. His high school mate, Guggi, gave him the name Bono Vox. Initially, Bono did not like the name; however, when he learned it translated to “good voice,” he accepted it. Later, Bono Vox shortened his name to Bono.
在母親去世後不久，保羅得到了他的藝名。他的高中同學 Guggi 給他取名為 Bono Vox。一開始他不喜歡這個名字；然而當他知道這個名字意思是「好聲音」時，他接受了它。之後，Bono Vox 簡化為 Bono。
On 25 September 1976, Bono responded to an advertisement on a bulletin board at Mount Temple posted by a fellow student to form a rock band. This band later became known as “U2.” Bono writes the lyrics for almost all U2 songs, which often have social and political themes.
1976年9月25日，Bono 回應了 Mount Temple 學校布告欄上一位同學張貼的組團廣告。這支樂團後來就是大家熟知的「U2」。Bono 幾乎為所有的 U2 歌曲寫詞，而這些歌詞通常帶有社會和政治的主題。
Known for his popularity, fame, and fortune, the controversial star was awarded the 1999 MTV Free Your Mind Award for his work with charities. Bono continues to contribute heavily to debt relief in Africa.
這位因名氣、人氣和財富而廣受關注、也具爭議性的明星，因為他在慈善方面的貢獻，於1999年獲得 MTV「解放思想獎」（Free Your Mind Award）。Bono 也持續大力投入非洲債務減免的工作。
With U2, Bono has won numerous awards, including Grammy Awards, Golden Globe Award, and so on. As the co-founder of DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa), Bono has given his commitment to end poverty in his lifetime.
和 U2 一起，Bono 獲得了許多獎項，包括葛萊美獎、金球獎等。他也是 DATA（債務、愛滋、貿易、非洲）組織的共同創辦人，並承諾在他有生之年致力終結貧窮。
With his charm, and a sometimes unfavorable mix of politics and music, Bono continues to travel the world with dedication, making a compassionate contribution to future generations. In a word, “Bono,” a name that echoes worldwide, has made his footprint in history.
憑著他的魅力，以及有時讓人爭議的政治與音樂結合，Bono 持續全球奔走，懷著熱情為下一代做出充滿同理心的貢獻。簡而言之，「Bono」這個響遍全球的名字，已在歷史上留下深遠的足跡。
