A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
唱歌
Singing
I wasn't really the most charming person, socially - it took me a long time to develop my people skills - but the one place I was always comfortable was onstage, acting or singing.
我并不是真正最有魅力的人，在社交方面——我花了很长时间来培养我的人际交往能力——但我总是觉得最舒服的地方是舞台上，表演或唱歌。
No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?
没有;我们像往常一样问错了问题。烟囱上的知更鸟在唱什么并不重要。真正而恰当的问题是:为什么它是美丽的?
I was singing in a mall, and I picked a girl to come up onstage with me. As I was grabbing her hand, I fell off the stage. It felt like I was in the air forever, flying like Superman.
我在一个购物中心唱歌，我选了一个女孩和我一起上台。当我抓住她的手时，我从舞台上摔了下来。我感觉自己永远在空中，像超人一样飞翔。
I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for doing. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend, so it does get irritating.
我喜欢唱歌——唱歌是我的拿手好戏。现在它变成了我出名的事情——比如和我妈妈争吵或者和我男朋友争吵，所以它确实很烦人。
The logic was, there weren't too many female comedians, so I thought I might as well try a field that had fewer competitors than the field I was in, which was acting, singing and dancing.
其逻辑是，当时没有太多的女性喜剧演员，所以我想我不妨尝试一个竞争对手比我所在的领域少的领域，那就是表演、唱歌和跳舞。
I just had to find something else to fulfill me. Always being a singer and writing, it was a blessing. My brother started making music that was the kind of music I always saw myself singing.
我得找点别的事来充实自己。作为一个歌手和作家，这是一种福气。我哥哥开始创作音乐，那是我经常看到自己唱的那种音乐。
To teach a child an instrument without first giving him preparatory training and without developing singing, reading and dictating to the highest level along with the playing is to build upon sand.
教一个孩子一种乐器，而不先给他准备训练，也不培养他唱歌、读书、听写和演奏的最高水平，这是建立在沙上的。
The Tinted Windows shows were very fun but it's very different for me as a performer. I'm not playing music - I'm just singing and I missed that. I miss rocking out on keys, drums, guitar... whatever it is.
色彩斑斓的橱窗表演很有趣，但对我这个表演者来说却很不一样。我不是在演奏音乐，我只是在唱歌，我错过了。我想念在琴键、鼓、吉他上摇摆的日子……不管它是什么。
My singing wasn't horrible, but my dancing really made it look silly. It's not like I'm a horrible singer that can't sing. But I don't have the consistency or the presentation skills that a good performer has.
我的歌声并不可怕，但我的舞蹈真的让它看起来很傻。我又不是一个不会唱歌的糟糕歌手。但是我没有一个好的执行者所具有的一致性和表达技巧。
It was he who impressed, time and again, the necessity of singing as nature intended, and - I remember - he constantly warned, don't let the public know that you work. So I went slowly. I never forced the voice.
正是他一次又一次地提醒人们，歌唱是自然的需要，而且——我记得——他经常警告说，不要让公众知道你在工作。所以我走得很慢。我从来没有强迫过这个声音。
So many schools are getting rid of music programs and it's really sad because I know that when I started singing and stuff it was something that I always wanted to do and I never believed in myself to be able to do it.
很多学校都取消了音乐课程，这真的很让人难过，因为我知道当我开始唱歌的时候，我一直想做这件事，但我从来没有相信自己能做到。
By that point, I had started taking singing lessons. And after the first session, I mean, I was surprised that the windows didn't shatter. And after the third session, I really didn't know where this voice had come from.
那时，我已经开始上歌唱课了。在第一节课之后，我的意思是，我很惊讶窗户没有破碎。在第三次治疗之后，我真的不知道这个声音是从哪里来的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Inspiration is enough to give expression to the tone in singing, especially when the song is without words.
灵感足以表达歌唱的音调，尤其是当歌曲没有歌词的时候。
My heart is like a singing bird.
我的心像一只歌唱的鸟。
I'm not in it for the money. I like music. I love to write music. I can't imagine myself not playing or singing or writing. It would just drive me crazy if I didn't.
我不是为了钱。我喜欢音乐。我喜欢写音乐。我无法想象自己不弹琴、不唱歌、不写作。如果我不这么做，我会发疯的。
Well, the music industry is littered with actors who belatedly came to singing.
嗯，音乐界到处都是姗姗来迟才开始唱歌的演员。
What I say is from my heart. You must be sincere. So when I sing a song, people are supposed to feel it.
我说的话是发自内心的。你必须是真诚的。所以当我唱歌的时候，人们应该能感觉到。
I think singing it when it's done well is extremely natural. It feels great.
我认为唱得好的时候再唱是非常自然的。感觉很好。
