A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

独自一人

Alone

I'm not a rock star. Sure I am, to a certain extent because of the situation, but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star, I say leave me alone, I'm not a rock star. I'm not in it for the fame, I'm in it because I like to play.

我不是摇滚明星。当然,在某种程度上,我是这样的,因为这种情况,但当孩子们问我当摇滚明星感觉如何时,我说,别管我,我不是摇滚明星。我参加比赛不是为了出名,而是因为我喜欢打球。

I wrote and produced millions and millions of selling records, so my publishing company alone was worth millions of dollars. I didn't have to work anymore in life because when the rappers started sampling... I'm the most sampled artist in history.

我创作和制作了数以百万计的畅销唱片,因此仅我的出版公司就价值数百万美元。我在生活中不用再工作了,因为当说唱歌手开始取样时……我是历史上采样最多的艺术家。

However, as a parent, as a grandparent, as a former educator, I know that these practices alone when we are dealing with young children are insufficient. We will never control this rising epidemic without greater accountability from the food industry.

然而,作为一个家长,作为一个祖父母,作为一个前教育工作者,我知道,当我们与年幼的孩子打交道时,仅靠这些做法是不够的。如果食品行业不承担更大的责任,我们将永远无法控制这一不断上升的流行病。

This communication alone, by the comparison of the antagonisms, rivalries, movements which give birth to decisive moments, permits the evolution of the soul, whereby a man realizes himself on earth. It is impossible to be concerned with anything else in art.

只有这种交流,通过对产生决定性时刻的对立、对抗和运动的比较,才允许灵魂的进化,从而使人在地球上实现自我。在艺术上不可能再关心别的事情。

I did a lot of writing for a lot of different kinds of bands that I was in and out of during those five years and that left me with a little body of songs that I liked better when I played alone, so I ended up going out solo and very soon made my first album.

我的写作做了很多很多不同的乐队,我是在在这五年里,给我留下一点的歌曲,我更喜欢当我独自一人,所以我最终独自外出,很快使我的第一张专辑。

I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.

我想有时候你需要做的就是听别人说同样的话,然后意识到你并不孤单。我试着在歌曲中注入一些希望,无论在什么情况下,这样就不仅仅是肮脏,苦差事和痛苦的生活。

I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can't find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be.

我爱我的朋友和家人,但我也爱他们找不到我,我可以花一整天的时间阅读或独自行走,在沉默中,远离所有人的八千英里。独自一人在异国他乡遥不可及是我最喜欢的事情之一。

Throughout my whole life, as a performer, I've never played with a band. I've always played alone, so I was never required to stay in rhythm or anything. So it was a real different experience for me to start playing with a band. There were so many basic things for me to learn.

在我的一生中,作为一个演员,我从来没有和乐队一起演奏过。我总是一个人玩,所以我从来没有被要求保持节奏或其他。所以对我来说,开始和乐队一起演奏是一种完全不同的体验。有很多基本的东西需要我去学习。

I tour alone. There's no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts; I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.

我一个人旅游。没有声音检查,没有备份。我和主人住在一起;我在一个家庭里,它真的很有营养。我只需要记住演出结束后不要穿着睡衣跑进客厅。每一天,我们都在建立一种新的关系。这既奇怪又奇妙。

I think I meant that, given the circumstances of my childhood, I had the illusion that it's easier to be alone. To have your relationships be casual and also to pose as a solitary person, because it was more romantic. You know, I was raised on the idea of the ramblin' man and the loner.

我想我的意思是,考虑到我童年的环境,我有一种错觉,认为独处更容易。让你们的关系变得随意,也要装成一个孤独的人,因为这样更浪漫。你知道,我从小就被流浪的男人和孤独的人抚养长大。
