当时是我父亲带我来这裡看舞台
when my father brought me here to show me the stage.
我继续走...当时我大概九岁或十岁吧
And I went on to... Say, I was about nine or ten years old,
我环顾房♥间,然后心想
and I looked around at the room and I thought to myself,
“总有一天,这都会成为我的囊中之物”
"Someday this will all be mine."
这一天终于来临了
It's finally come to be!
我的人生和事业相当多彩多姿
My life and career has been so diverse,
从喜剧到太空还有或多或少称得上是严肃的工作
going from comedies, to space, to more or less so-called serious work.
到最后,令我感到心满意足的
In the end, what I'm completely happy with
是《大提琴协奏曲》的终曲
is the finale of the Cello Concerto.
或是相当满意《第一号♥小提琴协奏曲》的第二乐章
Or completely happy with second movement of the First Violin Concerto.
但不是整部作品
But not the whole piece!
有些《星球大战》的主题曲像是《尤达的主题曲》
Some of the themes in Star Wars, like "Yoda's Theme"
举例来说,我认为特别好
for example, I think is especially good.
音程的进行方式很创新,而且很简洁
The way the intervals go, it's original, it's very simple.
有些《E.T.外星人》的配乐我认为《飞奔月球》主题曲特别出色
There are parts of E.T., I think the "Over The Moon" theme is especially good.
那是最接近的说法我能说:“这首音乐能定义我”
So that's the closest thing I can come to saying, "This thing describes me."
我认为自己所提到的一切都能定义我这个人
I think all the things I mentioned do describe me,
但无法完整定义我
but not completely.
我弹奏钢琴和编曲的各个事业阶段
The various stages of my career of piano playing and arranging
以及为管弦乐团谱曲和踏入电视圈与电影圈
and orchestrating and television and film,
我得说这是始料未及的发展
I have to say it was a progression that was unplanned.
我遇过几次挫折,但我非常幸运
I had a few setbacks, but I was very, very lucky,
特别是认识史蒂芬史匹柏后大概就是我人生中最幸运的日子
especially after meeting Steven Spielberg, probably the luckiest day of my life.
人们说:“你怎麽能做这麽多的工作?”
People say, "How do you do so much work?"
我一向很忙碌,但我怀抱著对音乐的热爱
I was busy all the time, but I was filled with the love of music,
以及有幸能跟优秀的音乐家和管弦乐团共事
and the pleasure of doing it with great musicians, great orchestras.
我的创作速度无法快到给他们素材来演奏
I couldn't write fast enough to bring them something to play.
音乐对音乐家来说就像是呼吸
Music for a musician is like breathing.
它支撑和维繫著我们的生命给予我们能量
It supports us, sustains us, gives us energy.
每天早上我都会写点东西
I write every morning, something.
你可以想见写下这些音符
You can imagine writing all these notes,
然后有这个机会站在管弦乐团前指挥乐曲
and then having the opportunity to get up in front of an orchestra and conduct it,
听著自己所创作的乐谱被赋予生命力
and hear it all brought to life, what you've put on the page.
那令人内心澎湃不已
That's a thrilling thing.
这一生有音乐陪伴就足够
Music is enough for a lifetime,
但用来创作音乐永远都嫌不够
but a lifetime is not enough for music.
