A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
One thing I am certain of is that, if I have done anything good in music, it was, first, because of my father, and second, because of my wife.
我可以肯定的一件事是，如果我在音乐上做过什么好事，首先是因为我的父亲，其次是因为我的妻子。
I feel completely fortunate to have this outlet for something I don't really feel like I have a choice in, to make music. I've got to make it.
我感到非常幸运，能有这样一个渠道，来做一些我没有选择的事情，做音乐。我得赶时间。
The best ideas will eat at you for days, maybe even weeks, until something, some incident, some impulse, triggers you to finally express them.
最好的想法会折磨你好几天，甚至几周，直到某件事、某件事、某一种冲动，让你最终把它们表达出来。
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.
我不喜欢乡村音乐，但我无意诋毁那些喜欢乡村音乐的人。对于喜欢乡村音乐的人来说，诋毁意味着“放下”。
If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.
如果有什么事情困扰我，它会困扰我很长一段时间，直到我找到解决问题的方法。音乐为我提供了解决问题的方法。
It’s not the art, it’s the heart. What God reads during our worship is the inner attitude. Worship is spiritual; it’s organic; it’s relational.
这不是艺术，而是心灵。神在我们敬拜的时候读到的是我们内心的态度。敬拜是精神;这是有机;这是关系。
Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it a rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.
音乐诉说着无法表达的东西，抚慰心灵，让它得到休息，治愈心灵，使之完整，从天堂流向灵魂。
Composing a piece of music is very feminine. It is sensitive, emotional, contemplative. By comparison, doing housework is positively masculine.
作曲很有女人味。它是敏感的，情绪化的，沉思的。相比之下，做家务绝对是男性的事情。
When I think about atheist friends, including my father, they seem to me like people who have no ear for music, or who have never been in love.
当我想到无神论者的朋友，包括我的父亲，在我看来，他们就像没有音乐天赋的人，或者从来没有恋爱过的人。
As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
至于音乐业务本身，关键的事情并没有发生太大的变化。它像任何企业一样运作，而资金仍在推动着一切。
The living take a part of the dead with them, carrying them around in their minds, like a song that lingers after the music has been turned off.
生者带着死者的一部分，在他们的脑海中萦绕，就像一首关掉音乐后依然萦绕的歌。
Some people read books on musicians, while I read music books. Not books on music, but literally books full of sheet music. Fascinating reading.
有些人读关于音乐家的书，而我读音乐书。不是关于音乐的书，而是充满乐谱的书。有趣的阅读。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I feel this music has nurtured me as I've been immersing myself in it. I've felt supported by it.
我觉得这首歌滋养了我，因为我一直沉浸在其中。我感觉得到了支持。
A fine work of art - music, dance, painting, story - has the power to silence the chatter in the mind and lift us to another place.
一件优秀的艺术作品——音乐、舞蹈、绘画、故事——有能力平息我们心中的喋喋不休，把我们带到另一个地方。
Music I heard with you was more than music, and bread I broke with you was more than bread. Now that I am without you, all is desolate; all that was once so beautiful is dead.
我在你们那里所听见的，比这更美。我与你们所擘开的，比这更美。我既没有你，一切都是荒凉的。曾经那么美丽的一切都已不复存在。
When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.
当我听到音乐时，我不怕危险。我是无懈可击的。我没有看到敌人。我与最早的时代有关，与最近的时代有关。
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。
A fit, healthy body—that is the best fashion statement.
一个健康的身体是最好的时尚宣言。
