A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
表演者
Performers
I'm usually put off by performers when they get political.
当演员们搞政治的时候，我通常会感到厌烦。
I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
我想有些人想成为演员是因为他们想出名。
If you don't get feedback from your performers and your audience, you're going to be working in a vacuum.
如果你没有从你的演员和观众那里得到反馈，你将在一个真空中工作。
Bands today have to learn their craft by putting the hard work in that we did when we were young performers.
今天的乐队必须学习他们的手艺，把我们年轻时所做的艰苦工作投入进去。
To others we are not ourselves but performers in their lives cast for a part we do not even know we are playing.
对其他人来说，我们不是自己，而是他们生活中的演员，扮演着一个我们甚至不知道自己在扮演的角色。
There are few performers who would have had the audacity to even bring up the fact that they had been poorly reviewed.
很少有演员敢于提出他们的评论很差的事实。
Performers are the neediest people in the world. Unless you've been in that goldfish bowl - nobody can judge unless they've worn those shoes.
表演者是世界上最需要帮助的人。除非你在那个金鱼缸里——没有人能判断，除非他们穿了那双鞋。
I can never remember being afraid of an audience. If the audience could do better, they'd be up here on stage and I'd be out there watching them.
我从来都不记得害怕过观众。如果观众能做得更好，他们就会站在台上，而我就会站在外面看着他们。
The stage is close to being in the middle of the hall, so that the performers are surrounded by the listeners. I feel that we are all experiencing the music together.
舞台靠近大厅的中央，所以表演者被听众包围着。我觉得我们都在一起感受音乐。
I have been trying to find out exactly when listeners and performers decided that applause between movements would not be allowed, but nobody seems to have been willing to admit that they were the culprit.
我一直试图弄清楚听众和表演者是什么时候决定不允许在动作之间鼓掌的，但似乎没有人愿意承认他们是罪魁祸首。
I always thought that it was every performer's dream. That's the epitome of being an artist, being able to express song, dance and acting in a live theatre setting and really connecting with an audience on that level.
我一直认为这是每个演员的梦想。这是一个艺术家的缩影，能够在现场戏剧环境中表达歌曲、舞蹈和表演，并真正与观众在那个层次上建立联系。
The audience plays a huge part in how a piece will actually form. They really allow the performers to walk a tightrope in a way that never seems to happen in the privacy of your own four walls. I'm listening to the audience, and they're listening to me.
观众在作品的形成过程中扮演着重要的角色。他们真的允许表演者走钢丝，而这在你自己的四面墙里似乎从未发生过。我在倾听观众，他们也在倾听我。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
My son has been known to throw a book at the television set when he called for me to come play and I was obviously busy in the box. But I'm told that children of television performers grow up thinking that all mommies or daddies work on TV and that it's no big deal.
众所周知，当我儿子叫我来玩的时候，他会向电视机扔一本书，而我显然在盒子里很忙。但我听说，电视演员的孩子在成长过程中认为，所有的爸爸妈妈都在电视上工作，这没什么大不了的。
If you don't take no chances, then you're not a performer. Performers always take chances. You go see a singer, they'll hit the high note. They'll hit that note, they're not afraid, they're gonna exaggerate the fact and make me enjoy it, make me say, 'Wow, I wish I could do that!'
如果你不抓住机会，那么你就不是一个表演者。表演者总是在冒险。你去看一个歌手，他们会唱高音。他们会按下那个音符，他们不害怕，他们会夸大事实，让我乐在其中，让我说，‘哇，我希望我能做到!’
