Since Martha Payne's fight against a council ban on her publishing photographs of her school dinners became an internet sensation, she has been inundated1 with promises of book, TV and movie deals. 英国小女孩玛莎-佩恩把学校供应的午餐拍照并上传至其博客,遭到政府禁止,此事在网上引发热议。目前,佩恩已经收到书籍、电视、电影等大量邀约。 Martha Payne's blog NeverSeconds has logged more than three million page. The selfless Scottish schoolgirl has now agreed to team up with Nick Nairn, the celebrity2 chef, to help Argyll and Bute Council provide more nutritious3 meals for her and her classmates. The move emerged as Roddy McCuish, the SNP-run local authority's leader, admitted the council had been wrong and offered to apologise to Martha when they meet later this week. He said the council's communications department is to be overhauled4(彻底检修) after a public relations disaster that saw Martha's case become the world's third most talked about subject on the social networking site Twitter. David Payne, her father, yesterday said his daughter remains5 unfazed by the global attention, which drew more than five million people to her blog, NeverSeconds, where she posts photographs of her school dinners and rates them out of ten. "Since this started, we've had offers to appear on television shows from all around the world – daytime TV from Japan and from America. We've had Hollywood agents talking about a book and TV and maybe a film," the smallholder said. "But we've turned them all down. Martha will be back in school on Monday and no doubt writing her blog." However, she and her fellow pupils at Lochgilphead Primary School have agreed to help the council create a new menu. Martha has now raised more than £75,000 for development charity Mary's Meals after 5,500 people contributed. Her blog attracted the attention of Mr Nairn and Jamie Oliver last month when she posted a picture of a meal consisting of a pizza and solitary6 potato croquette(炸肉饼) , saying she would struggle to concentrate in lessons because of the miserly portions. Soon thousands of people from around the world were visiting the website to see what Martha had eaten that day, leaving comments and sending in photographs of their own lunches. But the council banned her from taking pictures last week, citing coverage7 in a Scottish tabloid8(小报) newspaper calling for the school's dinner ladies to be sacked. 点击收听单词发音
