A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐家
Musician
I have musician friends who play too much golf, and they're not as good at music anymore.
我有一些音乐家朋友经常打高尔夫球，但他们的音乐水平已经不如以前了。
When you're a musician and you break new ground it resonates into the common consciousness.
当你是一个音乐家，你有了新的突破，它就会在你的意识中产生共鸣。
Today jazz is still very much alive. Everywhere I go there's a new generation of musicians.
今天爵士乐仍然很活跃。我所到之处都有新一代的音乐家。
Eliminating the piano means that I've always worked closer with the bass than most players.
取消钢琴意味着我和贝斯的合作总是比大多数演奏者更紧密。
I got by as a musician since day one. I don't live beyond my means. I have real cheap tastes.
我从一开始就是个音乐家。我不会入不敷出。我的品味很差。
You can be a singer, and you can be a guitar player, but putting them together is another animal.
你可以成为一名歌手，也可以成为一名吉他手，但把他们放在一起是另一回事。
Instead of going to college, I spent my time out on the road learning how to be a better musician.
我没有上大学，而是把时间花在学习如何成为一名更好的音乐家上。
You know, I am just a musician and I have no idea these days what good and bad is in terms of labels.
你知道，我只是一个音乐家，我不知道这些天在标签方面什么是好的和坏的。
A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.
雕刻家是对事物的形状感兴趣的人，是文字中的诗人，是声音中的音乐家。

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The project which we developed, however, was for a sound piece and I was initially curious that a sculptor should be interested in working with a musician, especially on a project for radio.
然而，我们开发的这个项目是为一件声音作品设计的，我最初很好奇雕塑家应该对与音乐家合作感兴趣，尤其是在广播项目上。
In most of the stuff that I've done over the years as a sideman, I wasn't really a session musician, because to me, a session musician is a guy who makes his living in the studio, and I never really did that.
在我做了这么多年的兼职之后，我并不是一个真正的会话音乐家，因为对我来说，会话音乐家就是一个在录音室里谋生的人，而我从来没有真正这么做过。
I'm very unstable; there's no stability in a musician's life at all. You live on a bus or on the road hand to mouth and you don't know where your money's coming from.
我很不稳定;音乐家的生活一点也不稳定。你住在公共汽车上，或者是勉强糊口的路上，你不知道你的钱从哪里来。
So I don't think of myself as just a musician at all, I think of myself as an artist.
所以我不认为自己只是一个音乐家，我认为自己是一个艺术家。
I see the player piano as the grandfather of the computer, the ancestor of the entire nightmare we live in, the birth of the binary world where there is no option other than yes or no and where there is no refuge.
我认为钢琴演奏者是电脑的祖父，是我们生活的整个噩梦的始祖，是二元世界的诞生，在这个世界里，除了“是”或“不是”没有其他选择，也没有避难所。
I haven't written an awful lot recently, but I think I probably will start again very shortly. Being so much on the road, when you have a couple of weeks off, you're likely to avoid sitting at the piano, and taping, and giving yourself more work to do.
我最近没有写太多东西，但我想我可能很快就会重新开始写。经常出差，当你有几周的假期时，你很可能会避免坐在钢琴前，录磁带，给自己更多的工作要做。
