最後一个part!!! Q13: The dapper hat you wear is, I believe, a fedora, which was a signature look of Frank Sinatra. Any connection? MARS: Um, as far as smoothness, maybe. No, I'm kidding. Frank is awesome, (but) I wear a fedora because I cut my hair one day. I used to have a big old Afro and I cut it one day and felt very naked. So I picked up a Fedora and started wearing it. Q13: Frank Sinatra是以你戴的那种绅士软帽做为象徵的，你们两者间有任何关联吗？ A: 呃，就光滑性而言，可能有喔。好吧我是开玩笑的。Frank很棒，但是我戴这种帽子 主要是因为我过去曾经有个巨大的阿福罗头，有一天我剪了头发之後我觉得有种赤身 裸体的感觉，所以我就挑了一顶绅士帽来戴了。 (...) Q14: The old saying about hindsight being 20/20 is usually true. In hindsight, was getting dropped by Motown Records when you were 18 a good thing, even if it really sucked at the time? MARS: It was probably the best thing that ever happened to me, as far as being a reality check and (learning) what it really takes to break into this (business). I was so young at the time that, at 18, I probably thought being signed (to Motown) was it for me. But you don't know what the hell you're doing at 18. And when I got dropped, that's when I thought: 'I'll do everything on my own; I'll write my own music and produce it.' I was very frustrated (at Motown) because I was in (recording) studios with producers, trying to explain to them how I wanted these songs to sound. And how can you explain something you haven't done yet? Q14: 事後诸葛应该不为过，你18岁时被摩城唱片放弃这件事是好事吗？ A: 这是我这辈子最幸运的事了，不经一事不长一智，我也知道了进入这个产业需要什麽 。我18岁那时太单蠢了，以为签进摩城就是我的归宿了，但其实你18岁时根本不知道 自己在做什麽。後来我被放弃时，我告诉我自己：「我要自己做好每件事，我可以自 已写歌、自己制作。」在摩城那时真的很让人沮丧，在录音室里我要不断的告诉制作 人我想要有什麽感觉，但跟人家解释还没出现的东西根本就不可能。 Q15: You've worked with a diverse array of artists, from Sugarbabes, Brandy and Matisyahu to Cee-Lo Green, Travis McCoy and, of course, Germany's Geri Der Klostertaler. Are you now in a position to turn down offers, and who is on your wish list of people you really want to collaborate with? MARS: I'd like to collaborate with Alicia Keys and Kings of Leon. I recently did a song with Eminem and would love to do another. Q15: 你和各式各样的歌手都合作过，从Sugarbabes、Brandy、Matisyahu、Cee-Lo Green Travis McCoy以及德国的Geri Der Klostertaler。你现在也可以拒绝别人的合作 邀约了，那你现在有认真的想要和谁合作吗？ A: 我想要和Alicia Keys或Kings of Leon一起合作。最近我和Eminem做了一首歌，有机 会的话我们也想再合作。 Q16: Has that come out yet? MARS: No, not yet, but soon, I hope. My goal is to find a new artist; I'd love to produce a whole album that I'm not singing on. Q16: 发行了吗？ A: 还没发行。我的目标是找个新人，然後就纯当制作人，制作一张我没有献声的的专辑。 Q17: Do you have any musical candidates in mind yet? MARS: (chuckles) I'm just looking; I'm holding auditions. So, if you're five-foot-five with brown eyes, a cute little thing... I'm kidding! Q17: 那你心中有任何候选名单吗？ A: 颗颗，正在寻找罗，我要举办一个试镜！如果你符合以下条件：167公分而且是咖啡色眼 睛，是个可爱的小家伙...好啦我在开玩笑>.^ Q18: It's often been noted that a young musician has their entire life to prepare for their debut album, and then six months or a year to make the follow-up. Have you started work on your sophomore album yet? MARS: I feel like I know everything I did wrong on this (first) one. Not ' wrong,' but things I can do better. The next one is going to be my album. Q18: 常常看到一个歌手用他们的一生来准备首张专辑，却在一年半载後就推出下一张了， 你已经开始着手准备第二张专辑了吗？ A: 我觉得我已经知道我这张专辑里所有做错的地方了，不是做错，只是做的不够好，下 一张就会是"我"的专辑了。 Q19: What can you do better? MARS: I've got to show you. I can show you in music better than I can tell you in words. Q19: 你要改善哪方面呢？ A: 我会做给你看的。用音乐远比我用说的更能体现。 Q20: In pop music, the public usually see the results — the hit records, the Grammy Awards performances, the concert tours — but not all the work that goes into getting into the spotlight. And not everyone realizes that, even if you have a lot of talent, chances are you won't make it. Based on what you've experienced so far, what have you learned that you think would be particularly valuable for a young musician who looks up to you as a role model and hopes to follow in your footsteps? MARS: Be in control. Know who you are. And don't try to be different just to be different. Q20: 在流行乐呢，大家都是以结果论生死的，HIT单曲纪录啦、葛莱美奖演出啦、巡回演 出啦，但不是所有努力都会得到注目的。不是每个人都能了解即使你天赋异禀还是 可能没机会一展长才的，根据你自身的经验，你有没有什麽想对那些视你为典范、 希望能跟随着你的脚步的新人说呢？ A: 控制好自己，知道你自己的定位。不要为了与众不同而去特立独行。 Q21: Did you know that going in, or did you find out along the way? MARS: (softly) I knew that. I knew that. Q21: 你早就知道这种情况会发生了吗？或者你是渐渐才明白的？ A: (轻声)很早以前就知道了。 Q22: Is there anything you'd like to add. MARS: I love (he adapts his best Will Ferrell-as-Ron Burgundy TV weatherman voice) San Diago... Q22: 你有其他什麽想补充的吗？ A: 我爱(模仿http://youtu.be/H38LiqJdzvI )圣地牙哥... (注: 因为这篇采访是signonsandiego.com进行的 我猜他想用这梗很久了= =) Q23: Come on. You're just saying that? MARS: (laughs with delight) ...Which means 'a whale's vagina.' Q23: 拜托~~你不是只为了说那个吧~~~ A: (开心的笑) 圣地牙哥是鲸鱼的阴道。 (出自刚才那段水管) Q24: I'm not sure if we can get that in. MARS: Ah, come on! We gotta! Q24: 我不确定这段会不会被剪掉... A: 噢噢拜托，不可以剪掉啊~~~ ptt/BrunoMars*sakurai0615 转载请告知注明，有翻译错误也请指正 --
