    [转]Freddie Mercury的名言(QUEEN主唱)

    A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event.
    音乐会不是专辑现场表演版,而是戏剧表演!
    (这就是伟大的Freddie能奉献出伟大现场表演的根本原因!事实证明,只有伟大的精神才能指导出伟大的物质,所以拥有伟大的人生观是多么重要啊!)
      
    And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.
    我们不再有预算问题了。当我们把帐单拿给经纪人看时,他吓坏了。我们奢侈到了骨子里,但所有的钱都体现在作品上了。
    (Queen的风格华丽奢侈。当年Queen炒掉第一个经纪人的原因,就是丫太小气,不肯出钱精良制作宣传,不肯出钱让Queen改善生活。然后Queen找上了elton john的经纪人,从此过上了好日子。想想Queen彪悍的赚钱能力,只能为那个被炒掉的经纪人可惜了。)
      
    Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Boys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin.
    早期的时候,我们经常被跟Led Zeppelin比较。如果我们写了和声,就被跟Beach Boys比较。重金属一些的就是Led Zeppelin。
    (Queen音乐风格的类比。)
      
    But, you know, we spent two years putting our act together.
    但是你知道,我们花了两年的时间才走上正轨。
    (成名之前 的蛰伏时间。)
      
    I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.
    我早就知道我是巨星。现在,全世界都同意我。
    (Freddie彪悍的自信心和自负。)
      
    I dress to kill, but tastefully.
    我穿衣是为了施展必杀技,当然是有品味的。
    (Freddie华丽丽的舞台着装品味和时尚感。超喜欢这句话。Freddie,killing me tastefully吧!)
      
    I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration.
    我有Ealing 艺术学院的图案设计文凭。
      
    You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don't even believe in astrology.
    你知道,我设计了Queen的logo,把成员的星座形象组合在一起,尽管我并不相信星象说。
      
    I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It 's nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime.
    我猜自己总是过着巨星的耀眼生活。不新奇,我总是化光最后一分钱。
    (Freddie是华丽丽的购物狂,巡演所到之地以狂逛商店购物著称。在日本曾让整家商店下班后为他一人开放,多少服务员恭候他自己,也曾因为购物差点赶不上飞机。但是,请记住,Freddie拥有绝佳的品味,他伦敦的大房子的家居装饰和家具是最好的证明。)
      
    I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.
    我很享受自己的舞台着装;你看到的不仅是音乐会,也是时装秀。
      
    I like to be surrounded by splendid things.
    我喜欢被华丽灿烂的东西围绕。
      
    I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.
    我认为我的音乐,曲比歌词更好。
    (同意这句话!看过Freddie现场演出时和观众互动的即席创作就知道,Freddie出口成曲!美丽的旋律信口拈来。有些Freddie的作品,过度追究诠释歌词是没有必要的。)
      
    I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter.
    我喜欢维多利亚式的生活,充满精致的杂乱。
      
    I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs.
    我对英国音乐媒体不感兴趣。 他们曾把我们叫作超市忽悠,还暗示我们的歌不是自己写的。
    (Queen至今保持英国有史以来销量最大的音乐组合,超过批头四,和滚石乐队。)
      
    I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.
    我不是一个摇滚明星,我是一个传奇。
    (Freddie彪悍的自负,建立在彪悍的音乐才能之上。历史证明,他是对的。)
      
    I'm hopeless with money; I simply spend what I've got.
    我对钱毫无理智,我总会花光所有。
    (好在Freddie赚钱能力超强。)
      
    I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.
    亲爱的,我不过是个音乐妓女。
    (Freddie最最有名的一句话!如果我们活在世上的每个人都是靠着出卖什么换取生存的话,Freddie卖的当然是音乐。根据Brian May的采访,Freddie挂在嘴边的my dear,darling,通常是故意装腔作势卖给记者的噱头。他知道记者想要什么!)
      
      
    I'm not into business at all.
    我完全不懂生意。
      
    I'm very emotional; I think I may go mad in several years' time.
    我是个很情绪化的人;我想几年之内我会发疯的。
    (看过Freddie现场的都知道,他表演之中的热情和丰富的情绪,这几乎是所有艺术家的要素。)
      
    If we're weird onstage, I don't know what you'd call the Tubes.
    如果说我们的舞台表演怪异,我不知道你会对the Tubes有何评价。
    (the Tubes是一支70年代组建的乐队,现场表演有色情之风。)
      
    In the early days, we just wore black onstage. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew.
    我们早期 的时候穿黑色服装。非常大胆,亲爱的。然后我们换上白色,然后颜色就越来越丰富。
    (看不同时期的现场表演,确实是这个趋势。早期还有华丽丽的高跟鞋。到80年代中期,出现了可爱的黄色卡通T恤。最经典的是那件黄色短夹克吧。)
      
    It destroys the soul to hear that you're all hype, that you have no talent, and that your whole career has been contrived.
    听到别人说你是大忽悠,没有才能,事业是人造的,是对灵魂的彻底打击。
    (真想知道当初是哪位大仙做的这番评论,如今大仙又身在何处?)
      
    Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it!
    或许金钱无法买到幸福,但是它能给你幸福!
    (赤裸裸的金钱幸福观啊,难道不是这样吗?有钱难道不比没钱幸福?)
      
    One night Roger was in a foul mood and he threw his entire bloody drumset across the stage. The thing only just missed me - I might have been killed.
    有天晚上Roger情绪不好,他把架子鼓仍过整个舞台。差点砸到我------我差点被害死。
    (Roger谋杀未遂。)
      
    Onstage, I am a devil. But I'm hardly a social reject.
    在舞台上,我是魔鬼。但是我可不是社会的弃儿。
      
    The lavish presentation appeals to me, and I've got to convince the others.
    奢华的风格很吸引我,但是我需要努力说服其他人。
    (所以Queen的奢华风格基本上是Freddie定的。)
      
    The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs.
    其他人不喜欢的我的访问。坦率的说,我也不喜欢他们的。
      
    The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.
    亲爱滴,我们成功的原因?当然是我滴综合魅力。
    (哈哈,想象一下Freddie说这番话时的洋洋自得吧。。。)
      
    We were disliked by the press in the early days because they couldn't put their finger on us, and that was the case with Zeppelin as well.
    早期的时候,媒体不喜欢我们,因为他们无法给我们定位。Zeppelin也有过同样的遭遇。
      
    We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.
    我们是有点浮华,但是音乐可不是盖的。
      
    We're a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It's unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear .
    我们是昂贵的组合;我们打破了很多陈规。亲爱滴,歌剧和摇滚乐的组合是史无前例的。
    (完全正确。请参考Freddie和Montserrat Cabelle演唱的Barcelona。Freddie一直对歌剧情有独钟。)
      
    We've gone overboard on every Queen album. But that's Queen.
    每张Queen的专辑我们都过分投入。 这就是Queen。
    (精品就是这样炼成的。所以才有在英国销量至今第一成绩。不光是专辑,Queen的无比投入也是他们拥有最好现场表演的原因。)
      
    What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?
    20年后我在做什么?亲爱滴,我会死!你疯了吗?
    (一语成畿)
      
    When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.
    我希望死后会被作为音乐家而记住。
      
    When the whole point of Queen was to be original.
    Queen的全部意义就在于原创性。
      
      
    Who wants to live forever? 
    谁想永远活下去呢?   
    (气势磅礴,高亢悲凉)
      
    Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.
    多年前,我想到Queen这个名字。这只是个名字罢了。但是很明显,有皇家气势,听起来华丽堂皇。
    (Freddie曾解释过,他当然知道Queen的同性恋含义,但是他更看重的是Queen这个词的辉煌气势,同性恋含义不过是一方面罢了。当年的Freddie应该还不知道自己日后的性取向。
