Her death was announced on the band's social media accounts.

"A few hours ago I was told that my best friend in the whole world since the first day of 1975, had passed away," bandmate Stevie Nicks said in a handwritten note posted to Instagram.
“幾個小時前，我被告知，自1975 年，已經(jīng)過去了，”樂隊成員史蒂夫·尼克斯 (Stevie Nicks) 在發(fā)布到 Instagram 的手寫便條中說道。
 
McVie was a steady presence in a group that saw many membership changes since it formed in the late 1960s. Fleetwood Mac started out as a London blues band and developed into one of the defining makers of 1970s California pop-rock. From 1975 to 1980, the band sold tens of millions of records.
自 1960 年代后期成立以來，McVie 在這個經(jīng)歷了多次成員變動的團體中一直扮演著重要角色。 Fleetwood Mac 最初是一支倫敦藍調(diào)樂隊，后來發(fā)展成為 70 年代加州流行搖滾的標志性創(chuàng)作者之一。從1975年到1980年，樂隊賣出了數(shù)千萬張唱片。
   

"I was supposedly like the Mother Teresa who would hang out with everybody or just try and (keep) everything nice and cool and relaxed," she told Rolling Stone earlier this year. "But they were great people; they were great friends."
“我應該像特蕾莎修女一樣，會和每個人一起出去玩，或者只是嘗試（保持）一切美好、涼爽和放松，”她早些時候告訴滾石雜志今年。 “但他們是偉大的人；他們是好朋友。”
 
Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. At the ceremony they played McVie's song, Say You Love Me.
Fleetwood Mac 于 1998 年入選搖滾名人堂。在儀式上，他們演奏了 McVie 的歌曲 Say You Love Me。
 
McVie wrote or cowrote many of the band's most popular songs. Don't Stop, a piece inspired by the end of her marriage, gained surprising political meaning in 1992. An American presidential candidate chose the song and its repeated phrase "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow" to represent his 1992 campaign.
McVie 創(chuàng)作或共同創(chuàng)作了樂隊許多最受歡迎的歌曲。 Don't Stop 是一首受她婚姻終結啟發(fā)的歌曲，在 1992 年獲得了驚人的政治意義。一位美國總統(tǒng)候選人選擇了這首歌及其反復出現(xiàn)的短語“Don't stop thinking about tomorrow”來代表他 1992 年的競選活動。

The candidate, Bill Clinton, won the election and became president. Fleetwood Mac performed at his inauguration party.
候選人比爾·克林頓（Bill Clinton）贏得了選舉并成為總統(tǒng)。 Fleetwood Mac 在他的就職典禮上表演。

McVie was born Christine Anne Perfect in the British town of Bouth, Lancashire. She came from a musical family. Her father was a violinist and music teacher and her grandfather played organ at Westminster Abbey.
McVie 出生于英國蘭開夏郡布斯鎮(zhèn)的 Christine Anne Perfect。她出身于音樂世家。她的父親是小提琴家和音樂老師，她的祖父在威斯敏斯特教堂演奏管風琴。
 
McVie's two marriages, to John McVie and Eduardo Quintela, both ended in divorce. She was also involved with the Beach Boys' Dennis Wilson for several years. She wrote the song Only Over You about him.
McVie 與 John McVie 和 Eduardo Quintela 的兩次婚姻都以離婚告終。她還參與了海灘男孩的丹尼斯威爾遜多年。她寫了關于他的歌曲 Only Over You。

Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie formed a lasting friendship. They agreed that, as two of the rare women in rock and roll, they would always stand up for each other.
史蒂夫·尼克斯 (Stevie Nicks) 和克里斯汀·麥克維 (Christine McVie) 建立了持久的友誼。她們一致認為，作為搖滾樂界為數(shù)不多的兩位女性，她們將始終為彼此挺身而出。

But the group's huge success also led to conflicts and the desire for independent work. Over the years, Nicks became a star in her own right. McVie released solo albums, including Christine McVie and Christine Perfect, as well as a 2017 joint recording with bandmate Lindsey Buckingham, called Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie.
但樂隊的巨大成功也導致了沖突和獨立工作的渴望。多年來，尼克斯憑借自己的實力成為了明星。 McVie 發(fā)行了個人專輯，包括 Christine McVie 和 Christine Perfect，以及 2017 年與樂隊成員 Lindsey Buckingham 的聯(lián)合錄音，名為 Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie。
 
Mick Fleetwood and John McVie were there at the founding of Fleetwood Mac and were the only ones to remain all the way through.
米克·弗利特伍德 (Mick Fleetwood) 和約翰·麥克維 (John McVie) 在 Fleetwood Mac 成立時就在那里，并且是唯一一直堅持到現(xiàn)在的人。

"I moved to Kent, and I loved being able to walk around the streets, nobody knowing who I was," she said of her musical break during an interview this year with the Guardian.
“我搬到了肯特，我喜歡在街上走來走去，沒人知道我是誰是，”她在今年接受《衛(wèi)報》采訪時談到自己的音樂突破。
 
"Then of course I started to miss it. I called Mick and asked: ‘How would you feel about me coming back to the band?'" she said. "He got in touch with everybody and we had a band meeting over the phone and they all went: ‘Come baaaack!!' McVie said, "I felt regenerated and I felt like writing again."
“然后我當然開始想念它了。我打電話給米克問：‘你覺得我回到樂隊怎么樣？’”她說。 “他與每個人都取得了聯(lián)系，我們通過電話召開了一次樂隊會議，他們都說：‘來吧！’麥克維說：“我感覺重生了，我又想寫作了。”
