W: Charles, as a singer, do you ever make yourself cry when you sing?
女:查尔斯,作为歌手,你在唱歌时有没有把自己唱哭过?
M: No, not at this age. I'm an old man. But the songs can still get through to me.
男:没有,我现在这个年纪不会了 。我现在已经是老人了 。不过歌曲仍能触及我的心灵 。
W: What song writers are currently exciting you?
女:现在有哪些作曲家令人感到激动?
M: I don't know much about song writers. Once in a while, I'll listen to the radio to see what they are putting out, but it's not too often I hear something I like. Somebody like Art Tatum can make me sit up and take notice, but some music, like rap, isn't very musical and I can't learn anything from it. You got to do something more than talk to me.
男:我不太了解作曲家 。我偶尔会听听广播,看看有什么新歌推出,不过我不太常听到自己喜欢的歌曲 。像亚瑟·泰特姆这样的音乐家会让我坐直身体并留意,不过像饶舌这种音乐性不太性的曲风,我不太能体会到什么 。除了和我说话,你应该做点别的 。
W: What's the most difficult kind of music to sing?
女:你认为哪种音乐最难演唱?
M: It depends. If I like something, I can sing it. I did the opera Porgiam best and that's said to be a complicated piece of music. And I can do country music, blues and love songs. On the other hand, I can't sing something I don't like and that's one of my defects.
男:这要看情况而定 。如果我喜欢这种音乐,那我就能唱出来 。我唱的最好的是歌剧《Porgiam》,一般人们认为这是一个很难的音乐作品 。我也可以唱乡村音乐、蓝调音乐和情歌 。另一方面,我不能唱我不喜欢的音乐,这也是我的一个缺点 。
W: Can you perform music that's out of tune with the mood you might be in on a given night?
女:你能在某个晚上在没有伴奏的情况下,表演出符合当时心境的音乐吗?
M: Yes, because when you sing, you are like an actor performing a part. Once you get out there, you become that part — only you're using music instead of dialogue. I am the kind of a person that if my personal life is hurting, I can go to work and the music will take over. It's like a guy who goes to a bar and drinks. For those few hours, I can wrap myself up in my music.
男:可以,因为在唱歌时,我们其实也是表演的演员 。一旦站上舞台,我们也成为了演员,我们在用音乐代替对白 。我是那种可以在个人生活受到伤害后去工作的人,音乐会接管一切 。就像有人会去酒吧喝酒一样 。在那几个小时里,我会使自己沉浸在音乐里 。
