A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of "culture."
创作一段音乐比演奏一段好，演奏一段比听一段好，听一段比把它当作消遣、娱乐或获得“文化”的手段要好。
The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.
音乐产业是一个拥有有形资产和无形资产的奇怪组合:流行乐队本身就是品牌，在他们职业生涯的特定阶段，仅凭他们的名字就能保证唱片销量。
Working on a play is a vibrant and collaborative business. Everyone from the choreographer to the music director to the director to the writers work together toward the same goal, and everyone chimes in on everything.
编写剧本是一项充满活力和协作性的工作。从编舞到音乐指导，再到导演再到编剧，每个人都朝着同一个目标共同努力，每个人都参与其中。
The stage is the best experience in the world. It's a great compliment to be able to share the music, because people can hear my album but they don't get to make the connection in the same way as when it's one-to-one.
舞台是世界上最好的体验。能够分享这些音乐是我莫大的荣幸，因为人们可以听到我的专辑，但他们无法像一对一那样建立联系。
So there's no guarantee if you like the music you will empathize with the culture and the people who made it. It doesn't necessarily happen. I think it can, but it doesn't necessarily happen. Which is kind of a shame.
所以，如果你喜欢这首歌，你就不能保证你会对它的文化和制作者产生共鸣。这并不一定会发生。我认为可以，但不一定会发生。这有点遗憾。
As long as your intention is pure, and you know what you're in it for, then you're alright. And I'm in it because I enjoy it. I take it seriously... real seriously. I mean I could sit and talk all day about the music.
只要你的意图是纯洁的，你知道你在做什么，那么你就没事了。我参与其中是因为我喜欢它。我很认真……真正的认真。我的意思是我可以整天坐着谈论音乐。
I can understand how some people might resent me for having the audacity to continue playing music, but it'd take a lot more than that to stop me from doing it. I started Foo Fighters because I didn't want to retreat.
我能理解有些人可能会因为我胆敢继续演奏音乐而怨恨我，但要阻止我这样做，需要的远不止这些。我开喷火战机是因为我不想撤退。
It's easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play.
学习音乐理论很容易，尤其是在同学和音乐课之间。你只要集中注意力。我的耳朵很好，所以我意识到印刷音乐只是为了提醒你该演奏什么。
A lot of musicians aren't proud; they'll do other work, just to be able to play music. I guess that's the way it's always going to be - musicians will have to suffer to a certain degree in order to obtain their outlet.
很多音乐家并不骄傲;他们会做其他工作，只是为了能演奏音乐。我想这是永远都会发生的事——音乐家们将不得不遭受一定程度的痛苦，以获得他们的发泄。
The music field was the first to break down racial barriers, because in order to play together, you have to love the people you are playing with, and if you have any racial inhibitions, you wouldn't be able to do that.
音乐领域是第一个打破种族障碍的领域，因为为了一起演奏，你必须爱和你一起演奏的人，如果你有任何种族禁忌，你就无法做到。
The type of band that I have now, the type of music that we're playing you either like it or you dislike it. If you dislike it, you probably don't know why. By the same token, you can't even really say why you like it.
我现在的乐队类型，我们演奏的音乐类型你要么喜欢，要么不喜欢。如果你不喜欢它，你可能不知道为什么。出于同样的原因，你甚至不能真正说出你为什么喜欢它。
It is one thing to record an album but it's a huge difference when people play it and listen to it and embrace it the way that I do. It has always been my dream to get my music out to the world and have people hear it.
录制一张专辑是一回事，但当人们像我一样演奏它、聆听它、拥抱它时，情况就大不一样了。把我的音乐推向世界，让人们听到它一直是我的梦想。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
He not busy being born is busy dying.
他不忙着生，忙着死。
You're not right in the head, and nor am I, and this is why....this is why I like you.
你脑子不正常，我也不正常，这就是为什么…这就是我喜欢你的原因。
Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine.
音乐是治疗。音乐的人。它以其他媒体无法做到的方式将人们联系在一起。它牵动心弦。它就像药物一样。
And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.
最终，你得到的爱等于你付出的爱。
If music be the food of love, play on.
如果音乐是爱情的食粮，那就继续吧。
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
听过的旋律是甜美的，但听不到的更甜美。
