A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
Under Confucianism, the use of precisely measured court music, prescribed steps, actions, and phrases all added up to an extremely complex system of rituals, each used for a particular purpose at a particular time.
在儒家思想下，使用精确测量的宫廷音乐、规定的步骤、动作和短语，这些都构成了一个极其复杂的仪式系统，每个仪式都在特定的时间用于特定的目的。
Now the big question is if you are going to go to all the trouble of setting an opera and making all that music and so on, there's got to be some aspect that you can do in an opera that really makes it worth while.
现在最大的问题是，如果你要花大力气去设置一个歌剧，制作所有的音乐等等，你必须在歌剧中做一些事情，让它真正有价值。
Whether you listen to a piece of music, or a poem, or look at a picture or a jug, or a piece of sculpture, what matters about it is not what it has in common with others of its kind, but what is singularly its own.
无论你是听一段音乐、一首诗，还是看一幅画、一个罐子或一件雕塑，重要的不是它与同类作品有什么共同之处，而是它与众不同的地方。
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。
Music should probably provide answers in terms of lyrical content, and giving people a sense of togetherness and oneness, as opposed to being alone in their thoughts and dilemmas or regrets or happiness or whatever.
音乐应该提供抒情内容的答案，给人们一种团结一致的感觉，而不是一个人在他们的思想，困境，遗憾，幸福或其他方面。
I was a kid who got picked on in school, and now the guys beating up those kids were wearing red caps and using my music to fuel that aggression. But if they listen to the lyrics, the aggression is targeted at them.

Times were changing. Clothes were changing. Morals were changing. We went from romantic loves songs like I used to do to rock 'n roll. Now that has changed to rap. So, there's always a new generation with new music.
时间改变。衣服被改变。道德是变化的。我们从我以前唱的浪漫情歌变成了摇滚。现在这一切都变成了说唱。所以，总有新一代拥有新音乐。
When you're playing music, say for instance, you're playing a part of the band and you're looking at your music, your horn is down into the stand. This way, it's up and it goes right on out to the audience, you know?
举个例子，当你在演奏音乐的时候，你在演奏乐队的一个部分，你看着你的音乐，你的喇叭在看台上。这样，它就升起来了，直接面向观众，你知道吗?
It's a dream come true, and with this music, with this Rossini, it's unbelievable how to express the joy and express the joy of the situation and the joy to play this music, to sing this music, it's really fantastic.

Well when I was young, when I was very young, when I was a little boy I don't remember the music I heard, but there was an article in the Brooklyn Daily written by my Aunt about how I could choose phonograph records.

It's great to have all this stuff at home. But when you want to make it for real, there's still nothing like making music with a bunch of other great musicians in the same room. That's one thing that'll never change.
把这些东西都放在家里真好。但是当你想要真正地去做的时候，没有什么比和一群其他伟大的音乐家在同一个房间里创作音乐更好的了。这是一件永远不会改变的事情。

I made a good living for a teenager. And I had to learn all different kinds of music - jazz, swing, Motown, pop - and that inspired what kind of music I started to write.

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.
我一直都知道我能在音乐方面有所作为。我不知道我是否能成功，但我知道我会在其中有所作为。也许在唱片店里找份工作。甚至可以在乐队里演奏。我从没想过要当明星。
