Absolutely, that's when the magic happens.

当然 喝醉了才有魔力

I hear things.

我会听到一些声音

You hear things?Arrangements.

什么声音 编曲

You need to be drunk for that sort of thing.

只有醉了才能体验到

You must've been drunk tonight,because nobody else heard anything.

你今晚肯定是醉了 因为别人都没听到

No, your song's good. It's you.Standing up there like a tomboy.I don't mean to be offensive,but don't you think that look's a little passé?

你的歌很好听 就是你 像个假小子一样站在台上 我没有恶意 不过你不觉得自己有点过时吗

Really?

真的吗

Seriously. We get you a look and a killer video,and you'll go straight to the top.

真的 我们给你换个造型 再拍个MV 保证你火速蹿红

I'm thinking Norah Jones,singer-songwriter thing at a piano.

我想到了诺拉·琼斯在钢琴上弹唱作曲

Or the... or The Cardigans,back in the day, when they...when they first came to America?

或是羊毛衫合唱团回到他们刚来美国的...那个黄金时代

Maybe even Deborah Harry.A male band behind you.

或者黛布拉·哈里 一个男子乐队站在你身后

What? You find that amusing?

你觉得这很好笑吗

No, I'm sorry, something went down the wrong way.Sorry? No, you were saying

抱歉 我有点走神了 你说什么来着

Me with a Cardigan on? Norah Jones?

我和羊毛衫合唱团 诺拉·琼斯

Babe, who the fuck do you think you are?

亲爱的 你把自己当谁了

You're gonna stand up on a stage with a beat-up guitar and you think you're Carole fucking King?

站在台上拿着把破吉他就觉得自己是卡洛尔·金吗

No, I just think that an A&R man telling an artist how they should dress or come across is total bullshit.

我只是觉得你作为一个星探却告诉歌手要模仿别人 简直是扯淡

People don't want that. They want authenticity.

人们不喜欢这些 他们要原创

OK, babe. Authenticity.Give me the name of one artist that you think passes your authenticity test.

天啊 宝贝 原创 那你说一个你觉得原创气息最浓的人

Dylan.

迪伦

Dylan!That is the most cultivated artist you could've thought of.His hair, his sunglasses. He changes his look every decade.

迪伦吗 他简直是太有艺术气息了 那破发型 破墨镜 十年才换一次造型

Randy Newman. I fucking love Randy Newman.

兰迪·纽曼 我爱死兰迪·纽曼了

OK? You got me on that.Listen to me.

算你赢了 听好

I am not saying that you can't be a real bona fide motherfucker in this business,but you got to do whatever it takes and get people in to see your shows,where the music can start to do its real work.

我不是说你不可以在这个行业里做自己 但你得全力以赴 让别人去看你的演出 然后才能用音乐打动他们

Oh, my God. What are we even talking about?You can't sign me, and I don't want to be signed.

天啊 为什么我们要谈这个 你签不了我 我也不想签约

That's right! What's not to like?

没错 这样最棒了

Come on, let's get out of here.Ah, shit. You're gonna have to get these beers, though.

我们走吧 该死 麻烦你买单了
