HighSchoolBand学校乐队
Hana:
So I've heard that you were in a band whenyou were a high school kid.
哈娜:
我听说你上高中时参加过乐队。
Ben:
Yeah, actually I was. All four years I was inhigh school I was actually in a few bands. Yeah, Iwas in one pretty early on when I was a kid. Me andfour of my friends.
本:
对,没错。
高中四年我加入过几个乐队。
我从小时候就开始加入乐队了。
当时我和4个朋友成立了一个乐队。
Hana:
All right. So, did you have a name for your band or bands?
哈娜:
好。
你的乐队有名字吗?
Ben:
Yeah, I guess the serious band I was in we were called Lucky Number Two. I know itsounds stupid and I thought it did too actually but I came into the band. I was asked to join. Ididn't start it.
本:
有,我加入的那个很认真的乐队名为“幸运数字2”。
我知道那听上去很傻,我也是这么认为的,不过我还是加入了那个乐队。
是他们请我加入的乐队,不是我组建的乐队。
Hana:
Okay, right.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
They said,"Hey, we need a bass player. Do you play bass?
"
本:
他们问我:
“嘿,我们需要个贝司手。
你会弹贝司吗?
”
Hana:
And I said,"Yeah, I do. I play bass, why?
"
哈娜:
我回答说,“我会。
我会弹贝司,怎么了?
”
Ben:
And they said,"Well, we need a bass player so can you come and try out, audition?
" And I did. And I said,"Oh, hey what's the band name?
" And they're like,"Lucky Number Two." I was like,"Oh, wow. So lame." But, I wanted to play music so I just went along with it andsaid,"Yeah, sure."
本:
他们说,“我们需要一个贝司手,你可以过来面试吗?
”所以我去面试了。
我问他们,“嘿,乐队叫什么名字?
”他们说乐队叫“幸运数字2”。
我当时想,“哇哦,这名字太差劲了。
”不过我想演奏音乐,所以我接受了这个名字,我说“没问题”。
Hana:
Okay, right. So why did they name the band Lucky Number Two?
Do you know thereason?
哈娜:
好。
为什么给乐队起名叫“幸运数字2”?
你知道原因吗?
Ben:
I don't think there was a reason. I think at one point they just when they were thinkingabout what to do they couldn't decide on something so they just decided something and justwent with it. They said,"Okay, we're going to decide this and we're going to do it." So I don'tknow, Lucky Number Two, yeah.
本:
我想没有原因。
他们可能在考虑要做什么,他们无法做出决定,后来他们做出了决定,然后就这样了。
他们的想法可能是,“好,我们要做出决定,我们要这么做。
”我也不清楚,然后他们就取了“幸运数字2”这个名字。
Hana:
Right. So what kind of music did you used to play?
哈娜:
好。
你以前演奏哪种音乐?
Ben:
It was like a punk music.
本:
朋克音乐。
Hana:
Okay.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
So, yeah, which actually at the time was not very popular among young people in mytown.
本:
嗯,实际上当时我家乡的年轻人并不太喜欢朋克音乐。
Hana:
Right. I'm not really a big fan of music, I don't really know anything about music. Sowhat's punk music like?
哈娜:
好。
我对音乐并不热衷,也不是很了解音乐。
什么是朋克音乐?
Ben:
What's punk music like?
本:
什么是朋克音乐吗?
Hana:
Yeah.
哈娜:
对。
Ben:
Well our band, we had two guitar players, a bass player, and a drummer. And one ofthe guitar players sang too. So punk music is fast.
本:
我们乐队有两个吉他手,一个贝司手,一个鼓手。
其中一个吉他手担任主唱。
朋克音乐的节奏很快。
Hana:
Right.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
It's fast and the drums are also fast. And the vocals are usually kind of yelling orscreaming in a way. And not always but sometimes bands are political.
本:
节奏快,鼓点也快。
所以从某种程度上说,主唱经常要喊叫。
有时乐队有政治倾向,但不是一直有这种倾向。
Hana:
Right. Political?
哈娜:
好。
政治倾向?
Ben:
Like we had a political ... I don't know how you would say ... At that time it was 2008.
本:
我们会有政治派别,我不知道要怎么说,当时是2008年。
Hana:
Yeah.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
Sorry, that's wrong 2004. Yeah. George Bush was the President.
本:
抱歉,我说错了,当时是2004年。
时任美国总统是乔治·布什。
Hana:
Yeah, yes.
哈娜:
对。
Ben:
And we didn't like him. We were kind of on the other side. So a lot of our songs were kindof politically driven.
本:
我们不喜欢他。
我们支持的是另一个党派。
所以我们有许多歌曲都有政治色彩。
Hana:
Right.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
So our lyrics were like about ...
本:
我们的歌词是……
Hana:
So like criticizing.
哈娜:
批判性的。
Ben:
Yeah, like anti-president lyrics like that. I don't know. It's kind of funny because one ofour songs actually ... 'cause you know the American flag is red, white, and blue the colors.
本:
对,歌词内容是反总统的。
我说不清楚。
这有点儿好笑,因为我们有首歌实际上……美国国旗是红色、白色和蓝色的星条旗。
Hana:
Yes.
哈娜:
对。
Ben:
So one of our songs was called Red, White, Black, and Blue like a bruise.
本:
我们有首歌名为“红色、白色、黑色和蓝色”,就像瘀伤一样。
Hana:
Oh.
哈娜:
哦。
Ben:
I don't know. We were angsty. I don't know. That's how I would describe punk music atthat time.
本:
我也不知道。
我们很焦虑。
怎么说呢,我会这样形容当时的朋克音乐。
Hana:
Right.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
Fast, politically driven lyrics, and screaming vocals.
本:
节奏快、政治驱动的歌词,喊叫的主唱。
Hana:
Okay. Sorry to ask stupid questions but ...
哈娜:
好。
很抱歉我要问一个愚蠢的问题,不过……
Ben:
No, no, go ahead.
本:
没事,你问吧。
Hana:
So the guitar that you used to use it's thatone that sort of connects to the amplifiers?
哈娜:
你们乐队用的吉他是那种要连接扩音器的吗?
Ben:
Yes.
本:
对。
Hana:
Not like acoustic guitar?
哈娜:
不是原声吉他?
Ben:
No, everyone played electric loud, loud music.
本:
不是,所有人演奏的都是吵闹的电子乐。
Hana:
Okay.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
Yeah.
本:
嗯。
Hana:
Loud music.
哈娜:
吵闹的音乐。
Ben:
Yeah, very loud guitars.
本:
对,非常吵的吉他。
Hana:
Okay. Why do you or why did you like punk music?
哈娜:
好。
你为什么喜欢朋克音乐?
Ben:
I don't know. I was a high school student and I was angry about life and my parents. Ididn't really get along with my parents. And so, it was a good outlet for me, a way to expressmyself outside of school. And so, it was very useful in that way. That's why I liked it.
本:
我也不知道。
当时我是高中生,我对生活和父母感到不满。
我和父母相处得不好。
所以,朋克音乐对我来说是一个很好的宣泄出口,是在校外表达自己的方式。
这种方法非常有用。
所以我喜欢朋克音乐。
Hana:
Did you have a chance to sort of perform in public?
哈娜:
你有机会在公开场合表演吗?
Ben:
Yeah, you know it's funny because we thought ... when you're 15 years old you can'treally think too far ahead in the future but we thought,"We're going to be popular. People aregoing to like this and we're going to get big. Maybe we don't have to go to college. Maybe wecan just play music for the rest of our lives."
本:
有,这很有趣,在15岁时通常不会考虑遥远的未来,但是我们当时想,“我们要出名了。
人们会喜欢我们的音乐,我们会变得很有名。
也许我们不一定要上大学。
也许我们可以余生都演奏音乐。
”
Hana:
Right.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
But yeah, no, back to your question sorry. We probably played a show as we call it or likewe would play at different venues around, different live houses around in our town.
本:
但是,抱歉,现在我来回答你的问题。
我们办了演出,我们是这样认为的,或者说我们在家乡的不同场馆和音乐表演空间进行了演出。
Hana:
Yeah, oh cool.
哈娜:
哦,真酷。
Ben:
Probably like twice a month.
本:
大概1个月表演2次。
Hana:
All right.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
We'd sell tickets. I'd go actually we'd make a flyer and I would go to the top of thestairwell in the high school and I would take all these flyers and just throw them down thestairs, just have the flyers ... I don't know it sounds funny to talk about it now, but yeah.
本:
我们办的是售票演出。
我们会印制传单,然后我会到高中楼梯的顶部,把所有传单扔下楼梯,现在说起来听着挺可笑的,不过当时我们就是这么做的。
Hana:
All right.
哈娜:
好。
Ben:
So we played like twice a month for about three years.
本:
我们每个月表演两次,大概持续了三年。
Hana:
Wow. So you used to make money from that then.
哈娜:
哇哦。
你从那时就开始挣钱了。
Ben:
I don't know about money but we did make enough to pay for our cd's that we wouldrecord.
本:
我不太清楚钱的情况,不过我们挣的钱足以用来录制唱片。
Hana:
Oh wow.
哈娜:
哇哦。
Ben:
Yeah.
本:
对。
Hana:
Wow.
哈娜:
哇哦。
Ben:
No, it wasn't profitable in any way it was just fun. And I met so many different peoplefrom being a band so it was really, really, it was really nice. Socially it was really good for Ithink a high school student like myself.
本:
当时并不是为了挣钱,而是为了乐趣。
因为加入乐队,我遇到了很多不同的人,这非常不错。
从社交方面来说,这对我这种高中生来说是有好处的。
Hana:
Oh, that's interesting.
哈娜:
哦,有意思。
Ben:
Yeah, thanks. Thanks for asking.
本:
嗯,谢谢。
谢谢你的问题。
