你知道，因为我一直在弹钢琴 you know, because I've been playing piano
从我七岁起，我就一直在想我自己 since I was seven years old, I've always thought of myself

我突然想到我有一个女儿。 It occurred to me that I have a daughter.
我的女儿——对我女儿来说，我是她的父亲。 And my daughter-- to my daughter, I'm her father.
不仅仅是一个音乐家，对吗？ Not just a musician, right?
然后我突然想到，我是一个丈夫，我也是一个儿子。 Then it occurred to me, I'm a husband and I'm also a son.
我的父母去世了，但我是他们的儿子。 My parents have passed away, but I'm their son.
我是一个邻居，我是一个朋友。 And I'm a neighbor, and I'm a friend.
所以，我所有的不同方面—— So, all of those different aspects of myself--

当我作为一个音乐家听音乐时——你知道， When I listen to music as a musician-- you know,
作为一个爵士音乐家—— as a jazz musician--
或者根据音乐的背景， or depending on the context of the music,
我可能在听结构，和弦结构， I may be listening for the structure, the chord structure,
一些技术细节。 some technical details.
人类，不是音乐家， The human being, who is not a musician,
没有这些细节。 doesn't have all those details.
对我来说，很高兴知道—— For me, it's nice to know--
作为一个音乐家，有一个想法是很好的 as a musician, it's nice to have an idea of actually what's
继续，技术上是为了它 going on, technically in order for it
能够听出它的声音。 to be able to sound the way it sounds.

没人想听一种b级的小调 Nobody wants to hear a B-flat minor chord just 'cus a B-flat
小和弦，或c-尖锐的专业，第11位—— minor chord or a C-sharp major with a sharp 11th--
所有这些技术性的东西，那不是音乐。 all these technical things, that's not music.
这就是工艺。 That's craft.
但音乐是超越它的东西。 But music is something that transcends that.
它是利用技术方面的东西。 It's something that utilizes the technical aspects.
但如果故事中缺少了心灵， But if it's devoid of the heart in the story,
那么它就没有任何意义。 then it doesn't mean anything.
它不会和任何人联系 And it's not really going to connect with anybody
在这个深层的人类层面上，因为坦率地说，它是 on this deep human level, because frankly, it's
一种人类交流的方式—— a way of human beings communicating--
