A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
开始
Started
When I started making my own records, I had this idea of drowning out the singer and putting the rest in the foreground. It was the background that interested me.
当我开始制作我自己的唱片时,我有一个想法,那就是把歌手淹没,把其他的都放在前台。我感兴趣的是背景。
From then on in, me and Sonny started makin' records. My first records, Sonny was backin' me up. Sonny wasn't singin' natural at the time; he was singin' falsetto.
从那时起,我和桑尼开始制作唱片。我的第一张唱片,山尼支持我。桑儿当时唱得并不自然;他唱的是假声。
I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter and that people would listen - that was when I started feeling good in my life.
在我开始写作之前,我是一个不同的人。当我意识到我可以成为一名作曲家,人们会倾听时,我的生活开始变得美好起来。
When I first started to get into writing, it was via music. I'd generate ideas for songs that would turn into stories, then they'd turn into novels. I was biased toward music.
当我第一次开始写作时,是通过音乐。我会想出一些歌曲的创意,然后把它们变成故事,再把它们变成小说。我对音乐有偏见。
Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame.
对我来说,刚开始登台演出是件大事。回到高中,每个人都在摇滚乐队,而我是一个歌手/作曲家。这看起来有点蹩脚。
I got a tiny part in a play, auditioned for another one and got that as well. Not only that, the first finished on the Saturday and the other started on the Monday which is like an actor's dream!
我在一个剧中得到一个小角色,参加了另一个角色的试演,也得到了那个角色。不仅如此,第一个周六结束,另一个周一开始,这就像一个演员的梦想!
I started acting when I was seven. And I went to a local drama school which is very well-known in London. Because of that, I started getting jobs, and I worked all the time as a child, pretty much non-stop.
我七岁开始演戏。我去了当地的戏剧学校,这在伦敦非常有名。正因为如此,我开始找工作,像个孩子一样,我一直不停地工作。
Then, there was Greenpeace, I remember that when they first started out with the boats in the waters, and the guys in the boats between the whales and the boats that will hunting the whales with spear guns.
然后是绿色和平组织,我记得他们刚开始的时候是带着船在水里航行,那些人在鲸鱼和用鱼叉猎捕鲸鱼的船之间航行。
My career has suddenly started to be the one that I'd always wanted, not in terms of level of success, but in terms of - and this is what I've been banging on about - playing different parts in different media.
我的职业生涯突然开始成为我一直想要的,不是从成功的程度,而是——这就是我一直在强调的——在不同的媒体中扮演不同的角色。
I think then, when we started receiving the first of the user feedback, feedback from people that I had not specifically told about it, but had spread from friend to friend and then they were giving us feedback.
我想,当我们开始收到第一个用户的反馈时,这些反馈来自那些我没有特别告诉他们的人,而是在朋友之间传播的,然后他们给了我们反馈。
They are a fairly aggressive conservation organization that was started to protect the great whales particularly, but in general all marine life around the world. So those are the people I'm trying to attach my name to.
他们是一个相当激进的保护组织,成立之初是为了保护大鲸,但总的来说是为了保护世界上所有的海洋生物。这些就是我想要把我的名字和他们联系起来的人。
I'm not a bad driver. And I never will be because I took lessons when I was quite a boy. I never had to pass a test because there wasn't such a thing when I first started driving a motor car. So I didn't have to pass one.
我开车不差。我永远也不会,因为我小时候上过课。我从来不用通过考试,因为当我第一次开始驾驶汽车的时候还没有这样的东西。所以我不用通过。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I've started to think that maybe I wouldn't mind passing my demented genius on to some small thing who can set fire and breathe profanity.
我开始想,也许我不介意把我那疯狂的天赋传授给一个能放火、能说脏话的小东西。
I started off wanting very much to be a newscaster.

When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.

I started playing music when I was really young.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.
