Simon：那些Bob Dylan教给我的事

Every time I watch a show like "Voice of China", I imagine what the judges would say to someone like Bob Dylan.

我看“中国好声音”的时候，我就想：评委会对鲍勃·迪伦这样的人会说什么？

"What is that sound you're making? That is not singing!"

“小伙砸，你在做什么？你这不是唱歌！”

"You should get professional voice lessons"

“你应该去参加专业的课程，进修一下”

"Your song choice was terrible, you should choose a less controversial subject"

“你选歌不理想，你应该选择一个不太有争议的歌”

"You should get some plastic surgery so you can look more handsome"

“去做一下整形手术，打几针，让你可以看起来更帅气哦”

Whatever they say, I can guess they wouldn't see the amazing talent that he is. Because Bob Dylan is all about thinking differently, about seeing the world differently.

无论他们说什么，我猜他们都不会参透鲍勃·迪伦的惊人天赋。 因为鲍勃·迪伦和他们的思考角度不同，看世界的方法不同。

My favourite Bob Dylan pieces are his early songs. Songs full of anger and discontent, songs full of bitter irony. Songs full of dissatisfaction with injustice.

我最喜欢的Bob Dylan早期的歌曲。 歌曲充满愤怒和不满，充满了苦涩的讽刺，对不公待遇的不满。

If you know me, you might be surprised that I love these songs. I'm a peaceful and easy going guy. That's true. But there is some part of me that simply loves the elegance of an angry, articulate song.

如果你认识我，你可能会惊讶，我竟然喜欢这些歌曲。众所周知，我是一个随和的家伙，但是身体里也有一部分叛逆因素，喜欢愤怒且目的明确的歌。

毕竟我年轻的时候也叛逆

对，这都是我

I have no problem with anger as long as that anger is intelligent. As long as there's a reason for it!

只要那些愤怒是明智的，那就木有问题！ 只要理由充分！就木有问题！

And Bob Dylan's songs, especially his early ones, so deliciously captured the things that made him mad … and turned them into beautiful sad songs that we can enjoy today.

Bob Dylan的歌曲，特别是他的早期歌曲，用非常优雅的方式诠释他的愤怒...，并把他们变成美丽而悲伤的歌曲，为后世人瞻仰，万古流芳。

What did Bob Dylan teach me? He taught me how to express myself forcefully and elegantly.

Bob Dylan教我了些什么？ 他教我如何很给力又优雅地表达自己。

He also - at age 75 - teaches me the value of persistence. Keep on keeping on.

老先生现如今75岁高龄，他教给我“坚持下去”的价值。论成败人生豪迈Keep on keeping on。

Have a great weekend guys!

今天就酱，童鞋们，彭宇们，周末快乐！
