少废话 快演出（2012）

#That something’s a problem#
#To tell the truth, I saw it coming#
#The way you were breathing#
#But nothing can prepare you for it#
#The voice on the other end#
#The worst is all the lovely weather#
#I’m stunned it’s not raining#
#The coffee isn’t even bitter#
#Because what’s the difference#
#There’s all the work that needs to be done#
#It’s late for revision#
#There’s all the time and all the planning#
#And songs to be finished#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it’s keeps coming till the day it stops#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it keeps coming till the day it stops#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it keeps coming#
#And it keeps coming till the day it stops#
#I wish that we could talk about it#
#But there, that’s the problem#
#With someone new I could have started#
#Too late for beginnings#
#You’re smaller than my wife imagined#
#Surprised you were human#
#There shouldn’t be this ring of silence#
#But what are the options#
#When someone great is gone#
#When someone great is gone#
#When someone great is gone#
#When someone great is gone#
#When someone great is gone#
#When someone great is gone#
#When someone great is gone#
#When someone great is gone#
#We’re safe#
#For the moment#
#Saved#
#For the moment#
I’ve always had this belief that people or bands…
我一直抱有这样一种想法，无论是人也好，乐队也好，
or whatever entities, whatever you want to look at…
一切你能够看到想要看到的实体，
they’re sort of remembered for their collection of successes,
他们似乎都是因为次次的成功而被铭记，
but they’re sort of defined by whatever is their singular failure.
却被最大的那个失败所定义。
This is kind of a sports example, but Michael Jordan is remembered…
以运动员为例吧，Michael Jordan 能被铭记，
for all these great things he did as a basketball player…
是因为他身为一个篮球运动员所做一切杰出的成绩。
Right.
对。
but I feel like his singular failure was,
但我想，他最大的失败，
you know, his inability to distance himself from competition.
是他无法与比赛控制合适的距离，
That led to his gambling problem,
以至于染上赌瘾，
and it’s led to his inability to have a good life after basketball.
而这又导致了他无法过好篮球以外的生活。
Right.
对。
So I’m curious.
所以我会好奇，
When you look at LCD Soundsystem, or even just the trajectory of your life,
但你审视 LCD Soundsystem时，抑或仅仅是审视自己生活的轨迹时，
sort of, what were the successes,
看到了哪些成功，
and what do you feel might be the defining thing you failed at?
而那个定义了你或是你们的失败又是什么？
“jump into the fire”
#You can climb a mountain#
#You can swim the sea#
#You can jump into the fire#
#But you’ll never be free, no#
#You can shake me up#
#And I can tear you down#
#You can jump into the fire#
#You can jump into the fire#
#You can jump into the fire#
#You can jump into the fire#
#We can make each other happy#
#We can make each other happy#
#We can make each other happy#
#We can make each other happy#
#You can climb a mountain#
#You can swim the sea#
#You can jump into the fire#
#But you’ll never be free, no#
#You can shake me up#
#And I could tear you down#
#You can climb a mountain#
#You can swim the sea#
#You can jump into the fire#
#But you never will be free, no, no#
#You can shake me up#
#And I can tear you down#
#You can jump into the fire#
#You can jump into the fire#
#You can jump into the fire#
#You can jump#
#Into#
#The fire#
You didn’t answer the last part of my question though,
但是你还没有回答我问题的最后一部分，
which is, if you were…
就是，如果你是…
I’ll just ask the question.
呃，算了我直接问问题吧，
What was the biggest failure…
最大的失败，
What’s the biggest failure of LCD Soundsystem?
LCD Soundsystem 最大的失败是什么？
Aside from like, you know, when the volcano hit, we didn’t make it to Dublin for the opening shows.
除了那种，你知道的，我想是那次因为火山喷发,我们没法赶到都柏林做开场演出。
(指2010年冰岛火山爆发导致乐队当年四月欧洲巡演受阻，取消了都柏林场的演出)
I felt really bad about that.
我对那件事感到十分遗憾。
Yeah, that can’t be your biggest mistake.
是啊，可那不能算是你们最大的失误。
You can’t blame a volcano for your biggest mistake.
你可不能把自己最大的失败归咎于火山爆发。
I think the biggest failure…
我想最大的失败是…
I don’t know if it’s a failure. I don’t know yet.
我不知道这算不算一种失败，我尚且还不确定，
Uh, stopping.
止步。
I’ve been a little obsessed with, like…
我开始痴迷于一些…
Okay. You see these Kanye tweets.
噢，你也看到了，那些 Kanye 发的推文，
People will be like, “You’re”…
人们会对他评头论足，
People call him ridiculous, or…
人们会说他荒谬，又或者是，
You know, make fun of him for being egotistical
你也看到的，取笑他的自负，
and all this other shit like that.
各种诸如此类的事情。
But I saw a quote where he was just, like,
但我看过他的一句引用，大概是说，
“Nobody’s being a rock star. None of you people are doing it.
“没有人在成为摇滚明星，你们一个人都做不到，
Everybody is chicken. Everyone is scared. Like, scared to fail.”
每个人都是垃圾，每个人都在惧怕，惧怕失败。”
Scared… You know, and it’d be, like, I’m doing it.
恐惧，就像是我正在经历的事情，
And I feel that if there is anything that is going to be our great failure,
那么我想，如果有什么称得上是我们最大的不足，
it’s that…
那就是这个了。
even though I think I’m getting out for what I think are not those reasons,
即使我觉得我并不是出于我所认为的那些理由，
fear of failure or fear of the responsibility of getting bigger,
但是对失败的担忧，对乐队壮大所带来的责任的担忧，
it makes me suspicious,
依旧令我变得多疑。
because these other reasons happen to also serve that potential fear.
因为这些其他的原因，也正好一样会渲染这种潜在的恐惧。
Just the way it sounds to me as you’re talking, that actually,
对于你所说的，我听起来实际上像是，
if… if my theory is true…
如果我的理论是正确的，
that people are remembered for their multiple successes, but they are defined by a singular failure…
关于人们总是因为他们多样的成功而被记住，却被他们突出的失败而定义的理论。
it would seem your singular failure…
那好像对于你而言的这个失败，
would be an inability to stop being self-conscious.
就是你无法停止对自我的反思与认知，
The fact that you’re saying that the problem might be quitting the band,
事实上，你所说的问题可能只是退出乐队，
but what it really is,
但真正的问题其实是，
is you’re already thinking what quitting could mean…
你早已在思考退出意味着什么了，
or could be perceived to mean,
或者会被认为意味着什么，
or what your real motive might be.
又或者是你真正的动机会是什么。
It’s more inside.
不止如此，这要更深层次一些。
I want to look back and be very, very proud of everything that we did.
我希望能够在回首时十分自豪地看着我们所做的一切，
And I feel like right now I’m with a couple of snafus here and there…
而现在面对一堆混乱局面，我感到…
I’m very, very like…
我十分，十分的
I like the way we’ve handled ourselves and I’m proud of that.
我喜欢我们在最后解散时结束这个乐队的方式，我对此感到自豪。
Oh, yeah, yeah.
噢，是的是的。
But this quitting stuff, even though I’m, like, it’s the right thing,
但对于退出这件事，即使我现在这样混乱，这依旧是一件正确的事。
I wonder if me saying, like,
我在想我有没有说过，比如
“I don’t want to be a famous person because I like riding the subway.
“我不想成为名人，因为我还想搭地铁。”
“I like eating food. I like being a normal person.
“我喜欢吃东西，我想要变成一个普通人”
“I like it. I’m 41. I don’t think I could adjust to the kind of weird dichotomy.”
“我喜欢这样，我已经41岁了，我不认为我能适应这种奇怪的二元对立。”
But is that a good enough reason?
但这个理由足够好了吗？
If you believe in your band…
如果你相信你的乐队，
and you claim to like music
如果你声称你喜欢音乐，
and you claim to like making music for people,
你声称你喜欢为人们制♥作♥音乐，
is that a good enough reason to quit?
这还是一个足够合适的退出的理由吗？
The lead-up to it was so excruciating,
这件事开始时对我来说是十分痛苦的，
but I promised myself that I was going to enjoy it…
但我向自己承诺过要享受这件事的。
Oh?
噢？
and I did.
我也做到了。
Hello.
你好？
Very good. Williamsburg, please. Second exit off the bridge.
你好，送我到威廉斯堡，第二个出口下桥。
Williamsburg, second exit off the bridge, please.
麻烦送到威廉斯堡，第二个出口下桥。

Yeah, I guess we can…
是啊，我想我们可以…
This is our last song.
这是我们最后一首歌♥了，
Okay, let me point this out,
噢，我要指出一点，
that even now, at the end of our band,
即使是现在，依旧走到了我们乐队的终点，
I fucking didn’t say that so you would say “Oh, no.”
我都没这么说过，免得你们要说“噢，不要！”
It wasn’t the false…
但这是真的。
It wasn’t, like, “This is our last song.”
这真的是我们最后一首歌♥了。
“Oh.”
“噢~”
