A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
仪器
Instrument
Yes, I always say that we're a National League band. What I mean is, if you play an instrument, you have to sing. So I always call our drummer up. Even the drummer has to take a turn on the microphone.
是的，我总是说我们是全国联盟的乐队。我的意思是，如果你演奏乐器，你必须唱歌。所以我总是给我们的鼓手打电话。甚至鼓手也得打开麦克风。
But I've come to the point in my evolution on the instrument where I realize that I can't play the same stuff that just a guitar player or organ player would play - and I need to embrace that in a big way.
但在我的乐器发展过程中，我意识到我不能演奏出仅仅是吉他手或管风琴手才能演奏的东西——我需要在很大程度上接受这一点。
If you have a great-sounding guitar that's a quality instrument and a good amp, and you know how to make the guitar talk, that's the key. It starts with the guitar and knowing what it should sound and feel like.
如果你有一把听起来很棒的吉他，那是一把高质量的乐器和一个好的音箱，而且你知道如何让吉他说话，那是关键。它从吉他开始，知道它应该是什么样的声音和感觉。
I'd actually say that every musician is a human being, and that not everybody likes being social. But with music, there are all these ingredients to the business that have nothing to do with writing songs or playing an instrument.
我想说的是，每个音乐家都是一个人，并不是每个人都喜欢社交。但在音乐方面，所有这些因素都与写歌或演奏乐器无关。
With Whitney she has such a unique sound and powerful instrument that she made those songs her own. She might as well have written them because she brought such a power and passion to them that were very unique. She has a great gift.
与惠特尼在一起，她拥有如此独特的声音和强大的乐器，她使这些歌曲自己。她还不如把它们写下来，因为她给它们带来了如此独特的力量和激情。她很有天赋。
When you become an instrument in God's hands as He transfers someone from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of His Son, you make a difference in the person's eternal destiny. Not only that, but Satan also receives a devastating blow.
当你成为神手中的工具，把一个人从黑暗的国度转移到他儿子的国度，你就改变了这个人永恒的命运。不仅如此，撒旦也受到了毁灭性的打击。
When I went to school, you had to take art, you had to play an instrument. You had to play an instrument. But it's all degraded since then. I do not know what kind of nation we are that is cutting art, music, and gym out of the public-school curriculum.
当我上学的时候，你必须学习艺术，你必须演奏乐器。你必须演奏乐器。但从那时起，一切都退化了。我不知道我们是什么样的国家，把艺术、音乐和体育从公立学校的课程中剔除。
The name of my ailment was longing, and it was not cured till I finally went to the department store and counted out the money in small coins before the dismayed clerk. When I came to the house, I held up the instrument before the eyes of the astonished household.
我的小病一直折磨着我，直到我最终去了百货公司，在沮丧的店员面前数出了一些小硬币，我的小病才好。当我来到那所房子时，我把那件乐器举到那惊讶的一家人面前。
In order to make my solo shows as interesting as possible, I moved songs onto very different instruments so that I was moving instruments quite a lot during the set. I didn't want the set to be boring. So I'd moved some older songs onto the autoharp, and they worked really well.
为了让我的独唱秀尽可能的有趣，我把歌曲搬到了不同的乐器上，所以在片场的时候我经常换乐器。我不想让片场很无聊。所以我把一些老歌曲搬到了自动竖琴上，它们非常好用。
You know, when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That's, you know, a great night. And I think the reason I love touring so much is you're chasing that high around all the time, trying to have another good night.
你知道，当你和乐器真正接触时，一切都自然而然地通过你的演奏表现在情感层面上。你知道，那是一个美好的夜晚。我想我这么喜欢旅行的原因是你一直在追逐着那么高的高度，想再过一个美好的夜晚。
The best way to do that is to pick up a new instrument or an instrument that you don't typically write on and see where it takes you. Whether it's using an acoustic guitar, or piano, or electronics as tools, all of these lead to creating different types of songs and I used all of these methods for this record.
要做到这一点，最好的方法是拿起一件新乐器，或者一件你通常不会在上面写字的乐器，看看它会把你带到哪里。无论是使用原声吉他，钢琴，还是电子设备作为工具，所有这些都可以创造出不同类型的歌曲，我在这张唱片中使用了所有这些方法。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
我周围的一切都消逝了，作品仿佛从虚空中诞生。成熟的、生动的果实掉了下来。我的手已成为遥远意志的顺从工具。
You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That's jazz.
你不仅要知道你自己的乐器，你还必须知道其他乐器，以及如何随时备份它们。这就是爵士乐。
You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.
你得学会你的乐器。然后，你练习，练习，再练习。然后，当你最终站在舞台上，忘记这一切，哭吧。
The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.
大提琴是这样一种忧郁的乐器，是这样一种孤苦伶仃的乐器。
Voice is my instrument.
声音是我的乐器。
A baseball swing is a very finely tuned instrument. It is repetition, and more repetition, then a little more after that.
棒球挥杆是一种调得很好的乐器。这就是重复，再重复，然后再重复一点。
