A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
孩子们
Kids
I can't come on like a parent to these kids, if I do, I won't be able to have fun working with them. The good news is they all have parents. The younger ones, their parents by law have to be on set.
我不能像父母一样对待这些孩子，如果我这样做了，我就不能和他们一起玩得开心。好消息是他们都有父母。年幼的孩子，他们的父母必须在片场。
And then ultimately what I tell the kids is: coaches can give you information, they can give you guidelines, and they can put you in a position. But the only person who can truly make you better is you.
最后我要告诉孩子们的是:教练可以给你信息，他们可以给你指导，他们可以把你放在一个位置上。但是唯一能让你变得更好的人就是你自己。
I worry about kids and all they are exposed to. Kids get so bombarded with hard, commercial sounds. They don't even have a chance to develop the softer part of themselves without fear of being ridiculed.
我担心孩子们和他们所接触到的一切。孩子们总是被商业的声音轰炸。他们甚至没有机会在不被嘲笑的情况下发展自己的软肋。
I'd like to teach kids how to write songs. This will be my first year so I'm just as green as some of the rest of the folks. It's like a music camp and I get to hang out with some of the past contestants.
我想教孩子们如何写歌。这将是我的第一年，所以我和其他人一样是新手。这就像一个音乐夏令营，我可以和以前的一些参赛者一起玩。
He was so good with the kids on the set. He just knew exactly how to handle them. The baby would cry and Vin would hold him and do all these weird sounds and the baby would stop crying. It was really cute.
他在片场和孩子们相处得很好，他知道如何处理他们。宝宝会哭，文会抱着他，发出各种奇怪的声音，然后宝宝就不会哭了。真的很可爱。
The outdoors, the beautiful environment, both in fresh and salt water. And the thing that concerns me is the amount of kids that stand on street corners, or go into pinball parlours, and call it recreation.
户外，美丽的环境，淡水和咸水。让我担心的是有多少孩子会站在街角，或者去弹球室，把它叫做娱乐。
When I'm on that field, I give it everything I have, and when I come off, I'm a mom. As tired and exhausting as it is, it's about coming back, even after double days, and still being able to enjoy the kids.
当我在球场上的时候，我付出了我所拥有的一切，当我离开球场的时候，我已经是一个母亲了。虽然很累，也很累，但关键是要回来，即使是在两天之后，仍然能够享受孩子们的快乐。
I'm really glad I didn't have kids earlier, because I probably would have ignored them. I was so into my career. I could just go and play a ton of shows, night after night after night. I can't do that anymore.
我真的很高兴我没有早点生孩子，因为我可能会忽略他们。我非常投入我的事业。我可以去看很多节目，一晚上又一晚上。我不能再这样了。
I miss my kids sometimes and that can get me down when I've been away working, but then I wake up and recognize how incredibly lucky I am. Spending time being down is less time out there achieving and enjoying.
有时候我想念我的孩子，当我不在工作的时候，这会让我很沮丧，但是当我醒来时，我意识到我是多么的幸运。把时间花在沮丧上，就会减少获得和享受的时间。
The idea of kids helping other kids is such a great way to introduce children to being involved in charitable causes and volunteer work, setting them on the path to doing good for others throughout their lives.
孩子们帮助其他孩子的想法是一个很好的方式，让孩子们参与慈善事业和志愿工作，让他们走上一生为他人做好事的道路。
When I write for kids, I have to make sure they know what can't happen. They have to know it's a fantasy. But when I write for adults, they have to think it's real. Every detail has to be real or they won't buy it.
当我为孩子们写作时，我必须确保他们知道什么是不可能发生的。他们必须知道这只是个幻想。但当我为成年人写作时，他们必须认为这是真实的。每个细节都必须真实，否则他们不会买。
I don't want to do children's music. I write kids songs, but the kids songs I write are for my kids - like when I'm putting them to bed. We sing some song that we made up but I don't want to make a record like that.
我不想做儿童音乐。我写童谣，但是我写的童谣是给我的孩子听的——比如当我哄他们上床睡觉的时候。我们唱一些我们自己编的歌，但我不想录制这样的唱片。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Baseball was made for kids, and grown-ups only screw it up.
棒球是为孩子们准备的，而成年人只会把它搞砸。
When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.
当你有了孩子，你会从不同的角度看待生活。你会更深切地感受到爱，也许会更有同情心。这将不可避免地进入你的歌曲创作。
I love kids. I was a kid myself, once.
我爱孩子。我曾经也是个孩子。
I'm just one of the kids, and all because the students at Hamilton Heights High School listened to the facts, educated their parents and themselves, and believed in me.
我只是这些孩子中的一个，而这一切都是因为汉密尔顿海茨高中的学生们倾听事实，教育他们的父母和他们自己，并相信我。
Because life is a gift, all of us are gifted.
因为生命是一份礼物，我们都是有天赋的。
