A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
People's lives change dramatically over such a long time period, and I think that if you're still vital, and you're still interested in writing and things like that, of course your music evolves and reflects where you are in your life.
在这么长的一段时间里，人们的生活发生了巨大的变化，我认为，如果你仍然很重要，仍然对写作之类的事情感兴趣，你的音乐当然会发展，并反映出你在生活中的位置。
I thought music could take you to a place where you didn't even feel ownership of it, you just felt lucky you were there. It's like church without God, or something. It's about feeling, hope and catharsis and things that are nurturing.
我认为音乐可以把你带到一个你甚至感觉不到拥有它的地方，你只是觉得你在那里很幸运。就像没有上帝的教堂一样。它是关于感觉、希望、宣泄和一些有益的东西。
Some of the wise boys who say my music is loud, blatant and that's all should see the faces of the kids who have driven a hundred miles through the snow to see the band... to stand in front of the bandstand in an ecstasy all their own.
有些聪明的男孩说我的音乐很大声，明目张胆，这些都应该看看那些在雪地里开了一百英里去看乐队的孩子们的脸……站在乐队台前忘乎所以的全是自己。
Have you ever wondered why young people take to music like fish to water? Maybe it's because music is fun. Plan and simple. It opens up their minds to dream great dreams about where they can go and what they can do when they get older.
你有没有想过为什么年轻人喜欢音乐就像鱼儿喜欢水一样?也许是因为音乐很有趣。计划和简单。它打开他们的头脑，让他们梦想伟大的梦想，他们可以去哪里，他们可以做什么，当他们长大了。
Maybe you're going to a concert thinking you're not going to hear anything but music. But you may walk away from there with an answer to a problem that you're carrying around with you that you didn't think you were going to hear about.
也许你去听音乐会的时候觉得除了音乐什么也听不到。但你可能会带着一个问题的答案离开，而这个问题你随身携带，你认为你不会听到。
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。
In some types of music I'm working out all the chords one bar at a time - the whole structure, because it's about that. And there are other pieces which are really about - okay, the melody is going to start here and play through to here.
在某些类型的音乐中，我一次演奏一个小节的所有和弦——整个结构，因为就是这样。还有一些其他的曲子，好的，旋律从这里开始，一直演奏到这里。
If a professional musician in a symphony orchestra is playing Beethoven. But this particular orchestra have played this particular chestnut so many times, they can play it in their sleep. Does the genius remain present in the music or not?
如果一个专业的音乐家在交响乐团演奏贝多芬。但是这个乐团已经演奏了很多次栗子了，他们可以在睡梦中演奏。天才是否还存在于音乐中?
Having good health, being able to breathe and be happy, that's one of the most beautiful gifts. On top of that, I have the gift to play music and make people happy through that. I'm just telling you from my heart, I'm so in love with life.
拥有健康，能够呼吸和快乐，这是最美好的礼物之一。最重要的是，我有播放音乐的天赋，让人们快乐。我只是发自内心地告诉你，我是如此热爱生活。
I realised that the only time I really enjoyed music was when I was in the studio writing. So even though it was a six album deal, they saw quite early on that I wasn't enjoying it as I should be. I didn't feel there was anything behind it.
我意识到我唯一真正喜欢音乐的时候是在录音室写作的时候。所以即使是六张专辑的合约，他们很早就发现我并没有像我应该的那样享受它。我不觉得这背后有什么。
Very much like that, and very much a loner, do you know and I didn't fit really into sport or all kind of group activities as a kid, I couldn't find a niche. And music was not really part of the kind of village curriculum it would, you know.
非常喜欢，而且非常孤僻，你知道吗，我小时候不太喜欢运动或各种团体活动，我找不到合适的位置。音乐并不是乡村课程的一部分。
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
你知道，音乐竟然如此美妙，这太残酷了。它有孤独之美，有痛苦之美，有力量之美，有自由之美。失望之美和永不满足的爱。残酷的自然美和永恒的单调之美。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
没有什么比音乐更能把两代人分开了。当一个孩子八九岁的时候，他对自己的音乐产生了一种热情，这种热情甚至超过了他对拖延症和古怪衣服的热情。
Without music life would be a mistake.
没有音乐，生活将是一个错误。
All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!
我所有的音乐会都没有声音;他们完全沉默了。人们必须在自己的脑海中创造自己的音乐!

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you, Tomorrow I'll miss you.
闭上你的眼睛，我会吻你，明天我会想你。
A fit, healthy body—that is the best fashion statement.
