洛天依的新年演出只吸引了300个左右观众，但这位虚拟歌手是颗冉冉上升的新星，她的视频已经有1.5亿的播放量。请看本报周五的报道：

Luo Tianyi’s New Years’ Day performance was sparsely attended by pop star standards, with only about 300 people in the audience. Then again, she wasn’t there either.

To actually see Luo, one of China’s rising superstars, some 150 million tuned in to the livestream on their TVs and mobile devices. The teen singer is a vocaloid, the first Mandarin-speaking, computer-generated, voice-synthesized pop star.

报道中的vocaloid指“虚拟歌手”，由vocal （人声）和-oid （类似）组成，也就是“模拟人声”的意思。例如humanoid就是“仿真机器人”。
