A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐家
Musician
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。
Well I'm a third-generation musician. My Grandfather's a musician and my father and mother were both musicians and so I'm a musician. It was just natural that I should be a musician 'cause I was born into the family.
我是第三代音乐家。我爷爷是个音乐家，我父母都是音乐家，所以我是个音乐家。我天生就是个音乐家，这很自然。
A musician cannot move others unless he too is moved. He must of necessity feel all of the affects that he hopes to arouse in his audience, for the revealing of his own humour will stimulate a like humour in the listener.
音乐家不能感动别人，除非他自己也被感动。他必须感受到他希望在听众中引起的所有影响，因为他自己的幽默的流露将会在听众中激起同样的幽默。
We're not doing this because we think there will be no jobs and this will be a safety net. We think it's what musicians should have, what young musicians deserve and need. Our view is that musicians need a broader education.
我们这样做不是因为我们认为会没有工作，这将是一个安全网。我们认为这是音乐家应该拥有的，是年轻音乐家应该拥有和需要的。我们认为音乐家需要更广泛的教育。
It took me way beyond what I knew, into places of which I was totally scared, but as I became less frightened, I welcomed new ways of thinking and approaching something. It made me an infinitely richer person, and I think a better musician.
它把我带到了我所不知道的地方，带到了我完全害怕的地方，但当我变得不那么害怕时，我欢迎新的思维方式和接近事物的方式。它使我成为一个无限富有的人，我认为我是一个更好的音乐家。
And as I grew older, I then auditioned for the Royal Academy of Music in London, and they said, well, no, we won't accept you, because we haven't a clue - you know - of the future of a so-called 'deaf' musician. And I just couldn't quite accept that.
随着年龄的增长，我参加了伦敦皇家音乐学院的试镜，他们说，不，我们不接受你，因为我们对一个所谓的“聋人”音乐家的未来一无所知。我只是不能完全接受。
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。
It's not a bad problem to have because a lot of classic acts are known for one or two songs and in their show they basically hold those songs off until the end and you sit through an hour or so of lesser known material but in our case most of the songs are well known.
这不是一个坏问题,因为很多经典的行为都以一个或两个歌曲和炫耀他们基本上持有这些歌曲到最后和你坐一个小时左右的知名度较低的材料,但在我们的例子中大部分的歌曲是众所周知的。
We had to do a lot of rehearsals to get it so that it was playable. What it did was make you practice. That's good for any musician to have that kind of pressure. It brings things out of you that might not come out if you don't have to reach for something all the time.
我们不得不做了很多排练来得到它，所以它是可玩的。它让你练习。对任何音乐家来说，有这种压力都是好事。如果你不必一直伸手去拿某样东西，它可能不会从你身上带出来。
I always wanted to be a musician from when I was kid. It was always a massive dream of mine. School was also really really important to me and having an education was top of my priority. So I really wanted to have a degree before I tried anything in the music industry.
我从小就想成为一名音乐家。这一直是我的一个巨大的梦想。学校对我来说也非常非常重要，接受教育是我的首要任务。所以在我尝试音乐行业之前，我真的很想获得一个学位。
You were probably steered benignly away from things at school when you were a kid — things you liked — on the grounds that you would never get a job doing that: ‘Don’t do music, you’re not going to be a musician. Don’t do art, you won’t be an artist.’ Benign advice — now, profoundly mistaken.
当你还是个孩子的时候，你可能被善意地引导着远离学校里的事情——你喜欢的事情——理由是你永远不会找到一份做这些事情的工作:“不要做音乐，你不会成为一名音乐家。”不搞艺术，你就成不了艺术家。“善意的建议——现在，大错特错了。
The life of any musician really doesn't fall into a normal schedule at all. Every week there are different rehearsals, different days and nights of performances, so we don't have a particular pattern that we can follow. For a conductor, it is a little bit worse because we have to allow for traveling.
任何音乐家的生活都不属于正常的日程安排。每个星期都有不同的排练，不同的昼夜演出，所以我们没有一个特定的模式可以遵循。对于一个列车员来说，情况会更糟，因为我们要考虑旅行。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The musician is perhaps the most modest of animals, but he is also the proudest. It is he who invented the sublime art of ruining poetry.
音乐家也许是最谦虚的动物，但他也是最自豪的。正是他发明了破坏诗歌的崇高艺术。
And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.
在学校的三年里，我也在爵士乐队演奏。
I am a musician, but I'm another type of musician.
我是一个音乐家，但我是另一种类型的音乐家。
I suppose I would still be a communicator, maybe a musician.
我想我还是一个沟通者，也许是个音乐家。
Well, being a jazz musician is not a rose garden!
嗯，当爵士音乐家可不是什么轻松的事!
A musician can get lost to what he is in the session busines as it was.
音乐家可能会迷失在他所从事的工作中。
