Hey. I'm a visitor from China. I love your music. It's the best I've ever heard. Will you please spare a little bit of time for me?

嗨。我是从中国来的游客。我喜欢你的音乐。它是我所听到过的最棒的。你有时间跟我聊一会儿吗?
Singer:
Sure. Thank you for saying that. Actually, those songs were sung for the first time today. I wrote them in the past two months.

当然。谢谢你喜欢。实际上,那些歌今天是第一次唱,是我在上两个月创作的。
May:
Oh, you wrote them all by yourself. That's amazing! Are you a regular singer here?

哦,那些歌都是你自己写的。那太棒了!你是这里的驻唱吗?
Singer:
You can say that. But my band and I also sing regularly in several other places, too.

可以这么说。但是我和我的乐队也在另外的几个地方驻唱。
May:
Cool. Your guitar skills are very impressive. How did you learn to play like that?

好酷啊。你弹吉他的技术让人印象深刻。你是怎么学会弹吉他的啊?
Singer:
I picked up guitar at an early age, maybe around 8 years old. Afterward, I taught myself by listening to some records of top players.

我从很小就开始弹吉他了,可能是在八岁左右。之后,我就听一些顶级吉他手的录音来自学。
May:
Wow, that's unbelievable! You play so well, but you've never been to a real teacher. You will definitely be famous in the near future.

哇,真让人难以自信啊。你弹得这么好,但却从来都没有向一位真正的老师学习。在不久的将来,你一定能够出名。
Singer:
Hope so. But I don't really care. Most of the time, I just sing to myself, and if it happens to make others happy, then it's not a bad thing.

但愿如此。其实我不是很在乎。大部分时间我都是唱给自己听,不过要是我的歌碰巧能让别人快乐,那么也不算是件坏事。

What's the good thing about being a bar singer?

当酒吧驻唱的好处是什么呢?
Singer:
As long as I play regularly in bars, my guitar skills are improving fast. Moreover, I can meet some interesting people who turn to be lifelong friends.

只要我在酒吧里当驻唱,我的吉他水平就能够很快提高。而且我也可以认识一些有趣的人,有的可以成为一生的朋友。
May:
I suppose you guys share the same love for music.

我猜你们对音乐有着同样的热爱吧。
Singer:
Yeah. But still, it's not all good. You know, there is no regular salary for any freelance bands. But anyway, music is the thing that supports us.

是啊。不过这种生活也不是完美的。你知道,对于自由乐队来说是没有稳定的薪水的。不管怎样,音乐是支持我们的东西。
May:
Cool. Well, I love your dressing style, especially your bracelet.

好酷。还有,我很喜欢你的着装风格,尤其是你的手镯。
Singer:
That makes me a punk singer. You know, I'm hooked to punk music these days.

那样我才像是个朋克歌手啊。知道吗,我最近迷上了鬅克音乐。
May:
Me too. Well, I've got to go now. Thanks for your time.

我也是。哎呀,我得走了。谢谢你花时间陪我聊天。
Singer:
My pleasure. Have a good night. Bye.

很荣幸。晚安。再见。
