A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
在一起
Together
Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that.
是的，我的母亲是一名歌手，我的父亲弹钢琴和键盘。他们在一个乐队里，虽然他们也有固定的工作，因为他们有孩子之类的。
When I walked to school in the mornings I would start out alone but would pick up four other boys along the way. We would set out together after school across the village green.
当我早上步行去学校的时候，我会一个人出发，但一路上会接其他四个男孩。放学后，我们会一起穿过村庄的草地出发。
The Band was always famous for its retirements; we'd go and play and get a little petty cash together, and then not see each other till it was time to fill our pockets up again.
这支乐队一向以退休而闻名;我们一起去玩吧，弄点儿零用现金，然后等到口袋里又装满东西的时候再见面。
Now Christmas is come, Let us beat up the drum, And call all our neighbors together, And when they appear, Let us make them such cheer, As will keep out the wind and the weather.
现在圣诞节来了，让我们敲起鼓来，把我们所有的邻居都召集到一起，当他们出现的时候，让我们让他们高兴起来，这样就可以挡风遮雨了。
A jazz musician can improvise based on his knowledge of music. He understands how things go together. For a chef, once you have that basis, that's when cuisine is truly exciting.
爵士音乐家可以根据他的音乐知识即兴创作。他知道事情是如何进行的。对于一个厨师来说，一旦你有了这个基础，那就是烹饪真正令人兴奋的时候。
The people don't have to be together right now, in a month, or in a year. If those two people are meant to be, then they will eventually be together somehow at some time in life.
人们不需要现在就在一起，一个月，或者一年。如果这两个人是命中注定的，那么他们终有一天会在一起。
Yeah, well, it did earlier - but as Bobby and I have played together, our thing as a unit has become so strong that they kind of had to get in where they fit in. And most people do.
是的，是的，之前是这样的——但是随着博比和我一起踢球，我们作为一个整体的力量变得如此强大，以至于他们不得不适应他们所处的位置。大多数人都是这样。
I've got some news... I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon.
我有个消息…我很高兴地宣布，西蒙和我即将迎来我们的第一个孩子。我想让你直接从我这里听到这个消息，显然我们欣喜若狂。
We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together; we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians.
我们总是觉得写歌很有创意。我们一起写;我们只是进入一个房间，或者偶尔进入跳蚤的车库。我们只是即兴创作，就像爵士音乐家一样。
I learned that if you bring black people together, you bring them together with a song. To this day, I don't understand how people think they can bring anybody together without a song.
我了解到，如果你把黑人聚集在一起，你就可以用一首歌把他们聚集在一起。直到今天，我还是不明白人们为什么认为他们可以不用一首歌就能把所有人聚在一起。
Well, I don't know. It's long, it's longer than both of the other books put together, so it's more ambitious. I think I get under the skin of the people a lot more than in the other books.
嗯，我不知道。它很长，比其他两本书加起来还要长，所以它更有野心。我认为我比其他书更能触及人们的内心。
The most evocative thing to me is probably when a writer and a group of performers can collectively put together something compelling that asks the really simple question: 'How do we live?'
对我来说，最能唤起我回忆的可能是，当一名作家和一群表演者能够共同提出一些引人注目的问题，提出一个非常简单的问题:“我们如何生活?”
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I think it was probably down to the fact that we weren't together personally as a band. We weren't pulling in the same direction. I always feel if you're having a good time in the studio it actually comes across on the tape and that was a bit of a miserable album for us.
我想这可能是因为我们个人作为一个乐队没有在一起。我们没有往同一个方向拉。我总觉得如果你在录音室里玩得很开心，你会在磁带上看到，这对我们来说是一个很糟糕的专辑。
We did it together. Not one individual carried this team.
我们一起做的。没有一个人带领这个团队。
Every Friday we'd do a final practice 'walk-through' for the game, and I just remember we were always out on the field dancing and singing together.
每个星期五，我们都会为比赛做最后一次“演练”，我只记得我们总是一起在球场上唱歌跳舞。
