【翻译】150324 Adam Lambert on Hunger Magazine 采访

2. Are you a fan of Britain and British culture?
那你本人喜不喜欢英国和它的文化？
Yes! I’ve beenspending a lot of time in London this year. I love the pop music coming out ofthe UK right now. Vulnerably soulful vocals and this house revival are turningmy crank. I’ve always been drawn to British film and TV as well – there’s agreat emphasis on witty banter and sarcasm.
当然喜欢！这一年我在爱伦敦呆了非常长的时间。我喜欢目前英国的一些流行音乐。那种忧郁脆弱的声音和house风格的复兴真的迷住我了。并且我也一直对英国电影和电视剧很感兴趣——特别是那些诙谐、戏谑、讽刺的东西。

"SOMETIMES MY CANDIDNESS BITES ME IN THE ASS BUT THATDOESN'T STOP ME FROM KEEPING IT REAL."
有时候我的率直会让我碰钉子，但那不会影响我继续保持下去。

5. When the opportunity came about to front Queen, what were your initialthoughts and reactions?
当成为Queen主唱的机会来临的时候，你最初的想法和反应是什么？
I was honoured andexcited – and then the fear reared its ugly head. I thought, “yikes I don’twant to be compared to the incredible Freddie Mercury”. Who would? He’s a godin my book. I knew I could handle the songs but it would be a tricky balancebetween making them my own, and keeping their original integrity. At the end ofthe day, I chose to accept the challenge in hopes that it would lead to agrowing experience. I’m very glad I did. I feel creatively revived andinspired.
我很荣幸也很激动——接着出现了一些害怕。我想，“呀我真的不想被拿来和Freddie比较啊”。谁想啊？他在我眼里就是神。我知道我能应付得来那些歌，但是在“把它们唱成自己的歌”和“尊重它们原来的完整性”之间，是一种微妙有趣的“平衡”。而在那天晚上，我选择了接受这个挑战，期待着这会是一段使我成长的经历。我非常庆幸当初我做了那个选择。我感觉我“创造性地”重生了，并受到了鼓舞。

"MY WISH IS FOR GAY TO BECOME LESS OF A LABEL, ANDMORE OF JUST ONE OF MANY GREAT COLOURS IN THE COLLECTIVE BOX OF HUMANITY."
我的愿望是让gay不再是一个标签，更多的只是五彩缤纷的人性光辉中的一缕。

8. You seem to be a very authentic and honest person and don’t hidewho you are or what you believe in. Is it important that this authenticityfilters down into your music too?
你看上去是个非常真实而又诚恳的人并且从不隐藏你的个性和信仰。那么这种深入到你音乐中的真实是否非常重要？
Sometimes mycandidness bites me in the ass but that doesn’t stop me from keeping it real(laughs). I’ve always been an open book. I think there have been moments ofthis on my previous albums but on The Original High, we have really crackedthe book wide open for all to hear. It’s a little scary to be that vulnerable,but I’m ready to let people understand all that makes me tick, even theunattractive parts of me.
有时候我的率直会让我碰钉子，但那不会影响我继续保持下去（哈哈）。我对此一直都是毫无保留的。我认为我之前的专辑有过一些相关的瞬间但是在The Original High里，我们真的已经把这种真实解析得淋漓尽致，为的就是所有人能听到。虽然拥有那样的脆弱面让我略微害怕，但是我已经准备好让人们去理解我这么做的所有原因，甚至包括我不是那么有吸引力的一面。

Adam will release”Ghost Town” on April 21st with The Original High following later this year
