A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
I was always drawn to performing. I took improv and acting classes during the summers and was involved in middle and high school plays. But when I discovered indie and punk music in high school, those things sort of took over.
我总是被表演所吸引。我在暑假参加即兴表演和表演班，并参与了中学和高中的戏剧表演。但当我在高中发现独立音乐和朋克音乐时，这些东西就占据了上风。
Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.
教音乐不是我的主要目的。我想成为好公民。如果孩子从出生那天就能听到好听的音乐，并学会演奏，他们就会变得敏感、自律和耐力。他们有一颗美丽的心。
I write a lot of music in my time off and I compose most of the songs on guitar. I've actually gone into the studio and recorded a few things, but it's tough trying to sell a song. It's all about finding that hook, that melody.
我在我的休息时间写了很多音乐，我用吉他创作了大部分的歌曲。事实上，我进了录音室录制了一些东西，但是想要卖出一首歌是很困难的。这一切都是为了找到那个钩子，那个旋律。
I think that one of Elvis' charms was that he could sing almost any kind of music. I am sure that in his heart, which I don't know what was there, but just from his singing I could feel that he was very partial to gospel music.
我认为埃尔维斯的魅力之一就是他几乎能唱任何一种音乐。我确信在他心中，我不知道那里有什么，但从他的歌声中，我可以感觉到他非常偏爱福音音乐。
One always has to remember these days where the garbage pail is, because it's so easy to make sounds, and to put sounds together into something that appears to be music, but it's just as hard as it always was to make good music.
人们总是要记住垃圾桶在哪里，因为制造声音很容易，把声音组合成音乐，但要制造出好的音乐就像以前一样难。
If there is a good musical reason, I think it might draw more attention and sell, though it is not guaranteed. To make a record without a musical reason, you have to either be a pop star who sells automatically or just be lucky.
如果有一个好的音乐原因，我认为它可能会吸引更多的关注和销售，虽然这并不能保证。要制作一张没有音乐原因的唱片，你要么是一个自动销售的流行歌星，要么就是运气好。
You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.
你不能因为经济原因放弃你真正相信的东西。如果你死在路边，那就这样吧。但至少你知道你已经尝试过了。在音乐舞台上的十分钟相当于在外面的一百年。
I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.
我生来就有音乐。音乐是我的一部分。就像我的肋骨，我的肾脏，我的肝脏，我的心脏。就像我的血液。当我到达现场的时候，那股力量已经在我心中形成了。这对我来说是必要的，就像食物和水一样。
Rap is hardcore street music but there are women out there who can hang with the best male rappers. What holds us back is that girls tend to rap in these high, squeaky voices. It's irritating. You've gotta rap from the diaphragm.
说唱是街头音乐的中坚力量，但也有一些女性可以和最好的男性说唱歌手在一起。阻碍我们的是女孩们倾向于用这些高而尖的声音说唱。真让人恼火。你必须从横膈膜上说唱。
What's interesting is a lot of the older music when we start performing it, it acts a lot like muscle memory. It's kind of like riding a bike. For me as a singer, I just had to remember like what part of my face I sang that into.
有趣的是，很多老音乐当我们开始演奏时，它的作用很像肌肉记忆。这有点像骑自行车。对我来说，作为一名歌手，我只需要记住我唱的时候脸的哪一部分。
I finished high school, moved to Nashville for college, and set out to break into the music business. Every night when I called home with news of my experiences, my mom and dad would encourage me to keep taking those small steps.
高中毕业后，我搬到纳什维尔上大学，开始进军音乐行业。每天晚上，当我打电话回家告诉他们我的经历时，我的父母都会鼓励我继续迈出这些小步伐。
The course hitherto pursued in musical aesthetics has nearly always been hampered by the false assumption that the object was not so much to inquire into what is beautiful in music as to describe the feelings which music awakens.
迄今为止，音乐美学所追求的道路几乎总是受到这样一种错误假设的阻碍，即研究对象与其说是探究音乐中的美，不如说是描述音乐所唤醒的情感。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry, I was listening to European classical music.
在孟加拉青年几乎不可避免地要写诗的时候，我正在听欧洲古典音乐。
Music is well said to be the speech of angels.
据说音乐是天使的语言。
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。
I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer's block, it's more to do with lyrics than anything else.
我一直在写音乐。当我说到写作障碍时，更多的是与歌词有关。
I have always enjoyed different kinds of music.
我总是喜欢不同种类的音乐。
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。
