A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
记录
Record
You could put this record on and not get jarred half-way through. I wanted it to be all cut from one cloth, and that was the way we took it through the whole production process.
你可以把这张唱片放上去，而不让它半途而废。我想把它从一块布上剪下来，这就是我们在整个生产过程中采用的方法。
There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.
有一大堆未完成的东西。然后我有歌词书。我发现唱完一首歌却不能录下来是件令人沮丧的事……所以我没有写一百万首歌。
We don't really make bad records, though some people might like some more than others. And we have never really done a bad show. So I think in a way maybe we've been taken for granted.
我们的记录并不差，尽管有些人可能更喜欢一些。我们从来没有演得很差。所以我认为在某种程度上，我们被认为是理所当然的。
I state for the record that I have never sought funds from any POW family, nor led them to believe in any way that we were going on a mission to rescue their specific missing loved one.
我郑重声明，我从来没有向战俘家属寻求过资金，也没有让他们相信我们是在执行一项拯救他们失踪亲人的任务。
I'm very happy with this new record. It's dealing with different aspects of love-it's me making a statement about people doing something with their lives. It is about caring for others.
我对这张新唱片很满意。它涉及到爱的不同方面——它是我对人们用他们的生命做些什么的声明。它是关于关心他人。
This is just strictly me wanting to make a record that is the real deal. It is all the stuff that I have learned and know that I remember. It's what I perceive as country music is about.
这只是严格地说，我想做一个真正的记录。这是我学到的所有东西，我知道我记得。这就是我所理解的乡村音乐。
We never sit down before we start making a record and talk about this new sonic palette that we are going to try to explore. We always let the record kind of reveal itself to us over time.
我们从来没有坐下来之前，我们开始录制和谈论这个新的声音调色板，我们将尝试探索。随着时间的推移，我们总是让唱片向我们展示自己。
When I first got my record deal, I was like, 'I just want to sing,' and I never put much thought into what really goes into a record. But as I got older, I developed a passion for writing.
当我第一次拿到唱片合约的时候，我就想，‘我只想唱歌’，但我从来没有过多考虑过唱片的真正价值。但随着年龄的增长，我对写作产生了热情。
Our record number of teenagers must become our record number of high school and college graduates and our record number of teachers, scientists, doctors, lawyers, and skilled professionals.
我们创纪录的青少年人数必须成为我们创纪录的高中和大学毕业生人数，成为我们创纪录的教师、科学家、医生、律师和熟练专业人员人数。
My last two records that I made were both quite pointed in one direction and I think I do my best stuff when it's all over the map, when there's a couple traditional things, a couple pretty rocking things.
我做的最后两张唱片都是指向一个方向的，我认为我做得最好的时候是在地图上到处都是，当有一些传统的东西，一些很震撼的东西。
The record business is dangerous to the health of bands and individuals, which is something I'm just now learning. But it's not dangerous in any of the ways people think; it's not that they try to make you compromise your art. That's not the problem.
唱片行业对乐队和个人的健康是危险的，这是我刚刚学到的。但它并不像人们所想的那样危险;并不是说他们试图让你在艺术上妥协。这不是问题所在。
When the first record came out, I'd go down to radio stations pretty much every day to get the record played, and I would walk in and they'd tell us how much they loved the record, but they weren't sure how much they could play it because they were already playing a girl.
当第一个记录出来,我去电台几乎每天都记录了,我走在,他们会告诉我们他们有多爱,但是他们不确定他们可以玩多少,因为他们已经玩一个女孩。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
艺术是一个人表达自己的欲望，记录他的个性对他所生活的世界的反应。
I'm not exactly sure how many kids I have, but yes, I do miss them officially, for the record. In case any of them are listening, I love you.
我不确定我有多少孩子，但我确实很想念他们，郑重声明。如果有人在听，我爱你。
I'd like to do my first record I ever made, A Church, a Courtroom, and Then Goodbye.

I told the record company I didn't feel the need to be at red-carpet events. I wanted a career. But I wanted to keep myself intact as a person.
我告诉唱片公司，我觉得没有必要参加红地毯上的活动。我想要一份事业。但我想保持自己作为一个完整的人。
Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.
那些唱片公司根本不知道发生了什么。
