　尼采有一句名言 Nietzsche famously said that 没有音乐

　人生将是一场错误 without music, life would be a mistake. 德国的哲学家总喜欢夸大 German philosophers tend to exaggerate. 但他的确有道理 But he did have a point. 如果没有音乐 I know that without music 我的人生根蒂上 my own life would"ve been 就会留有缺陷 incomplete in some fundamental way. 就像是我没有朊友 Like if I"d had no friends 或者没有记忆一样 or no memories. 有段时间我甚至努力成为一名钢琴家 I even tried to be a pianist for a while 直到我意识到 until I realized just how fragile 钢琴演奏是多么薄如蝉翼 piano playing really is. 尤其是当你在 2000 人面前演奏时 Especially in front of 2,000 people. 最困难的 The most difficult thing 是让你的手指不受干扰 is to leave your fingers alone, 只去演奏

　而不要思考 to just play and not think, 千万别打开这扇思考之门 never open that door, 否则你的演奏持续不了多久 otherwise you won"t be making music for long. 你会陷入这泥潭挣扎不已 You"ll be running for dear life. 妈的 Fuck. 我没事

　I"m fine. 可不可以 Can I have... 所有保安前往正门入口 Security to the front entrance. 亨利 Henry? 亨利 Henry. 只是抽根烟而已 Just having a smoke. 你不抽烟的 You don"t smoke. 你特别紧张吗 You got the heebie-jeebies? 你知道在观众面前演奏 Do you realize how reckless it is 是多么如履薄冰吗 to play in front of an audience? 他们就是为此而来的 It"s why they come, you know. 就像前几天在电视上看到的悬崖跳水者 Like those cliff divers I saw the other day on TV. 人们享受这种表演

　但是 People enjoy the show but really 逼近的危险才是它吸引人的关键 it"s the looming disaster that makes it special. 能给我吗 May I? 你听到声音了吗 Do you hear that? 有些钢琴家是理性的 Some pianists are cerebral, 有些是感性的 others sentimental. 亨利·科尔是一名存在主义钢琴家 Henry Cole is an existential pianist. 他用他的一生来演奏 He plays with his whole life. 当然

　用存在主义看待任何事 Of course, being existential about anything

　是十分艰难晦涩的 can be complicated. 终曲 渐慢 回到原速 亨利

　亨利

　放松

　只是几个记者 Henry. Henry, relax, it"s just a few reporters. 您为什么会决心重拾演奏 What made you decide to play again? 演奏就是我的生命 Playing is my life. 对您的演出满意吗 Happy with your performance? 这么多年后重新举办独奏会 How"d it feel to give a recital again 您有什么感受吗 after all of these years? 像是一趟去月球的旅行 Like a trip to the moon. 为什么不应观众要求多奏一曲 Why didn"t you give an encore? 抱歉 Sorry. 我喜欢 ...I like... 抱歉 Sorry. 我喜欢干净利落的结尾 I like clean breaks... 就像 the way... 海洋 the ocean... 在你脚下猛然消失不见 abruptly ends between your feet, 在垂死的浪花边缘荡然殆尽 the edge of a dying wave. 我也想不出还能弹点什么了 And I couldn"t think of anything else to play. 渴望分享 The need to share it,

　不正是多数音乐家演奏的原因吗 isn"t that what drives most musicians? 我认为多数音乐家演奏的原因 I think what drives most musicians 和大多普通人没什么不同 is not dissimilar from what drives most people. 原因是什么 And what"s that? 人们想要被欣赏 People want to be appreciated. -确实

　-为什么演奏《幻想曲》 - Indeed. - Why the "Fantasie"? 是不是因为它象征着与克拉拉分离后 ls it because it is meant as a cry of despair 克拉拉

　舒曼之妻 绝望的叫喊 after the separation from Clara? 当有人问舒曼

　这段乐曲是什么意思时 When Schumann was asked what he meant by the piece, 你知道他怎么回答的吗

　他什么也没说 do you know what he said? Nothing. 只是坐在钢琴前又演奏了一次 He just sat down at the piano and played it again. 然而

　有些科学家声称 However, some scientists claim 我们应该把《幻想曲》 that we owe the "Fantasie" 和许多其他杰作 as well as numerous other masterpieces 川布妮玛·派丽顿

　音译

　原意为梅毒螺旋体 归功于川布妮玛·派丽顿 to treponema pallidum. 她是一位作曲家吗 ls she a composer? 她是一种梅毒细菌 She"s the syphilis bacterium. 您之前真的 3 年没碰过钢琴吗 ls it true you didn"t touch a piano for three years... 谢谢大家

　今天就到这里了 Thank you very much. That"ll be all for today. 非常感谢大家今晚的到来

　Thank you so much for coming this evening. 有人说您甚至没有走出过房♥间一步 Some say you never even left your room. 到底发生了什么

　科尔先生 What happened, Mr. Cole? 请让我们再问一个问题吧 Please just one more. 为什么会有人关心 Why would anybody care 我有没有走出过房♥间 if I left my room or not? 他们才不关心呢 Oh, they don"t, that was just a kid 他们只是想获取一些八卦 trying to get some gossip. 那你关心吗

　保罗 What about you, Paul? 你知道我关心什么吗 You know what matters to me? 是你在这里

　这个属于你的地方 ls that you are here, right where you belong. 今晚很重要

　亨利 Tonight was important, Henry, 你也表现出了令人惊叹的力量 and you showed an amazing amount of strength. 你演奏得非常好 You were great. 请进 Yes! 您好 Hi. 之前很抱歉 Sorry about before. 我不是故意窥探您隐私的 I didn"t mean to pry. 我是海伦·莫里森 I"m Helen Morrison. 《纽约客》的供稿人 I write for The New Yorker. 音乐从来不会关于绝望 Music is never about despair.

　音乐是一场庆祝 It"s a celebration. 是一种胜利 A victory. 被人欣赏也并不是主要原因 And being appreciated is not enough. 多数人都想克朋一些事情 Most people want to overcome something. 所以您今晚的演奏是在庆祝胜利吗 Were you celebrating a victory tonight? 你又在窥探了 You"re prying again. 抱歉 Sorry. 我只是把音符弹出来而已 I just play the notes. 您是在开玩笑吧 You had me fooled. 谢谢你 Well, thank you. 对不起 I"m sorry, um... 您不记得我

　但是 you don"t remember me, but... 15 年前

　您改变了我的人生 you changed my life 15 years ago. 我有吗 I did? 您在茱莉亚音乐学院上大♥师♥课 You were giving a masterclass at Julliard 那时我刚刚被淘汰 and, um, I had just been cut, 在一场小规模比赛的第一轮 first round of a minor competition. 我无法控制我的手 I lacked the basic talent of... 让它停止颤抖 not shaking. 多么不公平 How unfair. 您当时说

　体验才是至关重要的

　"What matters most is experience," you said, 而不是表演 "Not performance. 让人变得独特的

　最伟大的天赋 The greatest gift, what truly sets people apart is... 是拥有感受的能力 the ability to feel." 我说过吗 I said that? 是的

　你说过 Yeah, you did. 当时还有 You know, there was also this... 抱歉 Never mind. 这是一个很长的故事 Well, it"s a long story. 跟我说说 Tell me. 真的吗 Really? 我花了一个月 I spent a month 待在瑞士阿尔卑斯山的 in the Upper Engadine Valley 上恩加丁谷 in the Swiss Alps, 就在我比赛失利之后 just after my competition disaster. 那里有个叫席尔瓦普拉纳的湖 There"s a lake there called Silvaplana 我每天都会沿着湖边 where I would take long walks 长时间地散步 every day along the shore, 思考您那时说的话 thinking about what you said. 就在路的旁边 And by the side of the path 有一块巨砾 there was this boulder.

　没什么特别

　就是一块巨大古老的石头 You know, nothing special, just a... big old rock. 但是我每天都会路过它 But every day I would walk by it, 而它在那里从未变化 and there it was, the same, 只是悄无声息地坐着 just sitting there quietly 就像千年来一直做的那样 as it had been for 1,000 years. 那块石头给了我某种安慰 And there was something comforting about that rock, 就像 like a, 一种提醒

　让我感受外面的世界 reminder of the world outside myself. 我想写一篇关于您的文章 I would like to do an article on you. 一篇详细的文章 Something comprehensive. 听上去不怎么样 It sounds unpleasant. 我很感谢

　但是不涉及隐私 I appreciate it, but there is a lot to be said 也有很多可以写 for staying at the surface of things. 这篇文章主要关于音乐 Well, this would be about music mostly. 您的事业 Your career. 我可以采访您吗 Could I ask for an interview? 当您有空的时候 When you have time. 尽量不打听隐私

　我保证 Minimal prying, I promise! 这不是一个好主意 It"s not a good idea. 如果你不介意的话 And if you"ll excuse me, 我得走了

　谢谢

　I am expected somewhere, thank you. 晚安 Good night. 很明显

　这块石头就是 Apparently, this rock is where 尼采幻想中的 Nietzsche had his vision of the eternal 万物永远轮回 recurrence of all things. 他认为每件事和每个生命 The idea that every event and every life 都会无限重复自己 will repeat itself infinitely. 但如果我不记得之前的重复 But if I can"t recall having been here before, 这又有什么意义呢 what difference does it make? 除非他说的是其他意思 Unless he meant something else, 比如命运 like fate. 又或者仅仅想说

　生活是个挑战 Or simply that life is a challenge. 《装饰音》 亨利·科尔 如果您有什么需要 If there is anything you need, 尽管开口 please don"t hesitate. 我叫菲力克斯 ufeff My name is Felix. 谢谢 Thank you. 文件夹里有一张地图 In the folder there is a map of 包含了该地区的所有登山路线 all the hiking trails in the region. 瑞士 我强烈建议您体验一下 I highly recommend the experience. 我会记下来的

　要是摔倒了呢 What about your hands? What if you fall? 摔倒是小时候就必须学会的 Falling has to be learned at an early age. 而且如果你是名钢琴家 And if you"re a pianist, 摔的最好是左脸 the left side of the face is best. 谢谢 Thank you. 通常我会穿自行车紧身裤 Usually I wear cycling tights. 我打赌你穿上肯定很性感 I bet you look sexy in them. 我也这么想 I like to think so. 谢谢你 Thank you. 亨利 Henry. 好了

　领路吧 All right, lead the way. 好的 Okay.

　其实我还是有点不稳的 I"m still a little shaky. 你有时候会不会觉得内心很孤独 Do you ever get lonely up there in your world? 德国作曲家是很好的陪伴 German composers are good company. 确实 Right. 如果没有舒曼 I couldn"t have survived my teenage years 我很难熬过少年时期 without Schumann. 他是我的依靠 I depended on him. 那时我觉得 I felt... 他比任何人都懂我 he understood me more than anyone. 当然了
