周杰伦,你怎么看。

近日,周杰伦在西安演唱会上,因现场安保人员将歌迷灯牌扔掉,在台上的周杰伦看到后出声制止:“你不要丢我歌迷的灯牌,有没有听到?你要控制秩序你把她灯牌丢掉干嘛?你给我滚出去。”事后,周杰伦通过官方微博发表道歉声明。


Taiwan pop star apologizes to security officer after clash

CRI

The clash happened during Chou's concert in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi province, on Sunday, which was the second day of this year's Labor Day holiday. Upon seeing a security officer taking away a fan's illuminated sign[灯牌] and putting it on the ground, Chou first asked the officer to give the sign back to the fan, but he then shouted to the officer to get out of the site, using expletives[1].


[1]expletive[ɪk'spliːtɪv]

a word that is considered offensive 咒骂语;粗话

She dropped the book on her foot and let out a row/string of expletives.

她手里的书掉下来砸到了脚,疼得她咒骂了一通。


Chou's behavior, while being hailed by many fans at the concert, also caused some controversy.

According to another policeman who was also working on the site,the fan stood on the chairand lifted her illuminated signagain and again, disregarding the safety and viewing experience of others and repeated warning fromthe security staff.

Netizens split into two groups after the video of the clash was put online. Some said Chou just wanted toprotect the rights of his fans, while others thought the singer didn'trespect the security officerswho were working tokeep orderat the concert.



顺便,我们来看看不久前英国媒体《电讯报》(The Telegraph)对周杰伦的评价。

Jay Chou: the actor and 'King of Asian Pop' that outsellsMadonnaandBeyonce

The Telegraph

Jay Chouis no stranger to Western audiences.

对于西方观众来说,周杰伦这个名字对他们来说并不陌生。

As a Hollywood actor, he was seen asmartial arts[武术]expert Kato inThe Green Hornet, a race starter inThe Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Driftand as Mr Li, the magic shop owner, inNow You See Me 2.

作为一名好莱坞电影演员,周杰伦曾出演电影《青蜂侠》中的武术专家加藤,电影《速度与激情3:东京漂移》中的发令员以及电影《惊天魔盗团2》中魔法商店的老板李先生等角色。

But he is also anaward-winningsinger-songwriter, with musical style that is influenced by rock, hip hop and blues.

与此同时,周杰伦也是一位出色的唱作歌手,诸如摇滚、嘻哈说唱以及布鲁斯等多种音乐曲风均驾驭娴熟,且获奖无数。

His music career is so successful that he has sold more than 30 million albums, his music has been downloaded more times thanMadonna[麦当娜],Rihanna[蕾哈娜]andEminem[埃米纳姆].

周杰伦的音乐生涯也是颇为成功,据悉周杰伦的专辑销量已达到3000万张,他的音乐被下载次数甚至超过了麦当娜,蕾哈娜和埃米纳姆。

If that is not impressive enough, Chou –dubbed[2]the “King of Asian Pop” – broke 11 Australian musical performance records with his 2009 concert in Sydney.

如果这组数据还不够令人印象深刻,周杰伦曾经凭借2009年的悉尼演唱会打破了11项澳大利亚的演唱会记录,并被称为“亚洲流行之王”。


[2]dub:to give something or someone a particular name, especially describing what you think of it, him, or her 称…为,将…冠以

She wasdubbedby the newspapers "the Angel of Death".

她被报纸称为“死亡天使”。


Chou says his concerts are "all about nostalgia[3]and old school tracks", which his fans got to experience first-hand during his first ever concert in Europe - atthe Wembley Arena[温布利体育馆]in London.

周杰伦表示自己的演唱会一般以怀旧和过去的校园老歌为主,粉丝们也在他欧洲的首场演唱会——于温布利体育馆举行的伦敦场亲自体验了一把现场感。


[3]nostalgia[nɒ'stældʒə]

a feeling of pleasure and also slight sadness when you think about things that happened in the past 对往事的怀念,怀旧,念旧

Some people feelnostalgiafor their schooldays.

有些人对自己的学生时代充满了怀旧之情。


But what Chou finds reallytouchingis when his early fans bring their children to his concerts.

但是真正令周杰伦感动的是,很多陪自己一路走来的老粉丝都把自己的孩子带到了演唱会现场。

This is his "musical heritage being passed on from one generation to another" and along with it, he hopes, "positive energy" too.

这种情景就好像“自己的音乐结晶在一代一代传承”,同时周杰伦希望自己也能够将正能量继续传递下去。

Chou also explains that concerts give him a lot of ideas for music.

周杰伦表示演唱会也给予了自己很多音乐方面的灵感。

One such example is a love song from his forthcoming album, which is due to be releasedlater this year or early next, was created after a show in China.

在他即将于今年年末或明年年初发布的新专辑中,其中有一首情歌就是自己受到一场演唱会的启发之后所作。

So how then does he feel his musical style compares to hisWestern counterparts?

那么和西方歌手相比,周杰伦是如何看待自己音乐风格的呢?

"I don't think we ever need to compare each other's music. A musical style is something that's very personal andcomes from within. ”

“我觉得两者完全没有必要去比较,而且音乐风格因人而异,和一个人的内在也有一定联系。”

"But, if I must compare mine to Western music, I think the biggest difference is that Western rap music hasviolenceandswearing[4]words, you wont find any in mine. ”

“但是如果一定要拿我的音乐风格和西方音乐比较的话,我认为最大的不同就是西方的说唱音乐中个别时候会有一些暴力而且骂人的歌词,但我的作品里面绝对没有。”


[4]swearing:rude or offensive language that someone uses, especially when they are angry 诅咒,咒骂


"The time that I did write a song about violence in families, it was because of a friend's situation and I was trying to remind everyone to pay more attention to the problems we have in our societies.”

“不过我这次确实写了一个关于家庭暴力的歌,这是因为我的朋友有这类遭遇,我希望可以借此来告诉大家要多关注我们社会上存在的一些问题。”

"With regards tomy style, I am just trying to make music that sounds new and fresh for everybody. I am trying to show people stuff that's positive."

“就我的音乐风格而言,我只希望我的音乐可以让大家每次都有新鲜感,都有不一样的感觉,然后传递一种正能量的东西。”
