【T&S】Behind the Scenes With Tegan and Sara

（先放一楼安抚人心，去喝茶去了~大家七夕快乐~）

Studio Supplies
"Sara and I are making our seventh record and this is officially the first time we've decided to be BRING our lunch, so we don't end up existing on Cheetos, Thai food and soda. What is in those coolers, you're wondering? Wouldn't you like to know?" – Tegan Quin
工作室物资
“sara和我正在录制我们的第七张专辑，这绝对是我们第一次决定自带午餐，所以我们并不满足于现有的奇多（某膨化食品）、泰国菜、和苏打。你在好奇那些冷却箱里是什么吗？你不想知道么？”——Tegan Quin

Tegan
"Let's be real, this isn't the most flattering photo of me. But since we've done very little this week I had to pick at least one of me doing something. So. Here I am pretending to do something." – Tegan Quin
“让我们诚实点，这张里的我不是最讨人欢喜的一张照片。但是从这周以来我们做了很少的事，我不得不选一张最新的我的照片来找点事做。所以，这是我，假装在做些事情 ”—— Tegan Quin

Break Time
"This is Sara explaining how she intends on taking one of her new songs to Bone Thugs-n-Harmony territory. Greg loved the idea, so be prepared for a little of that on the new record. I actually think we're on a break here and Sara is explaining how to get to the 7-Eleven. Slurpee break!" – Tegan Quin
休息时间
“这是Sara正在说她想要让她的一首歌有Bone Thugs-N-Harmony（美国说唱乐队）的风格（应该是这样理解），Greg喜欢她的想法，所以他为新的专辑准备了一下。我真的认为我们现在应该休息了，sara正在解释怎么到达7-11便利店（岛国的连锁便利店）。休息时间喝杯思乐冰！”—— Tegan Quin
后面还有七十多张~感觉又给自己挖了个坑……最近两只都没动态当做七夕巨献了……

In the Driver's Seat
"Greg stepped out for a call and I stepped up to get this record back on track. I take my job as a band member very serious. I may not drive in real life, but in the studio, I'm making all the turns. As made very apparent by this photo." – Tegan Quin
在驾驶座上
“Greg走出去打电话，我继续让这个记录重回正轨。我作为乐队的成员在很认真的对待工作。我可能在现实生活中不会真的驾驶，但是在工作室里，我正在转弯。在这张照片里很明显可以看到。”——Tegan Quin

Solo Sara
"Sara actually does play the piano very well. Here she shows us that it's not about how many notes you play at the same time – it's how sad you look playing them. This record is going to tear your little hearts out and stomp all over them. Get ready." – Tegan Quin
sara独奏
“sara演奏钢琴确实很好。这是她给我们展示，关键不在于在同一时间你能弹奏多少个键，而是你弹奏时看起来有多悲伤。这张专辑将要感动你们的小心脏（stomp all over them怎么理解呢？‘践踏你们的小心脏’？）准备好”—— Tegan Quin

Joey on the Mic
"This is us trying to be polite when Joey suggests he throw down some vocals on one of the songs he liked most. We definitely aren't going to use his vocals. Kidding! We made him do this, too! Literally the nicest human on the planet!" – Sara Quin
在麦克风前的Joey
“这是当Joey建议在一首他最喜欢的歌里用他的一些声音时，我们很努力保持礼貌的样子。我们肯定不会用他的声音。开玩笑的！其实是也是我们让他这样做的！这简直是这个星球上最好听的人声。”——Sara Quin

Hunter and Tegan
"While we were tracking drums our good friend Hunter, from the band AFI, stopped by. Here Lindsey caught Hunter and Tegan catching up in the main room. Hunter was full of positive reinforcement and good tidings! Guests to the studio are always a welcome sight." – Sara Quin
Hunter和Tegan
“当我们在录架子鼓的音轨时，我们的好盆友来自AFI乐队的Hunter正好经过。这是Lindsey拍的Hunter和Tegan在大厅碰上的场景。Hunter带来了很多正能量和好消息！工作室来客人总是喜闻乐见的景象。”——Sara Quin
（我想说，自从粉了两只，词汇量暴增，特别是公主殿下）

Downtime
"When you're making records there is often a lot of sitting around doing nothing. Thankfully this studio had lots of nice, comfortable nooks and crannies to relax in. Here we are waiting to move back to Greg's studio to start vocal! We're both nervous in this photo. I can tell." – Sara Quin
休息时间
“当你做一张专辑的时候，经常会有很多时间什么事都没有。很感激这个录音室有很多很很舒适的隐蔽角落让人休息。这是我们在等待准备搬回格雷的录音室去开始录人声！我可以这样说，在这张照片里我们都很紧张。”——Sara Quin

Background Vocals
"With this record we are doing a lot of background vocals and harmonies. Some may say we're returning to our roots, and they'd be right. Here Greg is having us sing the melodies in the room while he plays the guitar. Very bohemian of us three, don't you think?" – Sara Quin
背景人声
“这张专辑里我们有很多的背景人声和和声。一些人会说我们又转回了以前的风格（root根源，突然不知道怎么用适当又相近的词语表达），她们说对了。这是格雷在弹琴，同时我们让我们在屋子里唱歌。我们三个真是放荡不羁，你们认为呢？”——Sara Quin

Pre-production
"We spent the first few days this week doing pre-production. Which basically means that we played the songs acoustic and found the best arrangement and tempo for them." – Tegan Quin
前期制作
“我们的这星期的前几天用来前期制作。意思就是我们用不同的乐器弹奏这些歌曲，然后找到最好的安排和节奏。”——Tegan Quin

Guitar World
"This is me and a small selection of my guitars. Kidding! As if! These are Mike's guitars. He's what I like to call a 'collector'." – Tegan Quin
吉他的世界
“这是我和我的一些吉他收藏。开玩笑的！这些是Mike的吉他。我喜欢称他为‘收藏者’。”——Tegan Quin

Victor!
"After two days of pre-production, we had Victor Indrizzo come to the studio and play drums on the new tracks. He is incredibly nice and funny. We were very impressed with him. Recently he played drums on Brandon Flowers' solo record. Which is amazing, by the way." – Tegan Quin
维克托！
“在两天的前期制作之后，我们邀请Victor Indrizzo来为我们录制鼓声的音轨。他很棒很有趣。我们对他印象很深刻。最近他为 Brandon Flowers的独奏专辑演奏爵士鼓。顺便说下，真的很棒”——Tegan Quin

The Victor Show
"Sara and I got front row seats to the Victor Indrizzo show! Look how excited we are!" – Tegan Quin
维克托的演出
“Sara和我在Victor Indrizzo的演出现场抢到了前排座位！看看我们多兴奋！”——Tegan Quin

Sing, Sara, Sing
"After a few days of drums, we started singing. Sara went first. We're doing three of her songs with Mike, so she had her work cut out for her." – Tegan Quin
唱一个~sara唱一个~
“打了几天的鼓，我们开始唱歌了。sara先开始。我们和Mike制作她的三首歌，所以她正在做她的准备工作。”– Tegan Quin
More Frogger
"While Sara sang I was hard at work, too. Trying to get to level three of Frogger. I mean . . . it gets so fast!" – Tegan Quin
还在玩青蛙过河~
“当sara正在唱歌的时候我也在努力工作。正在努力过青蛙过河的第三关。我的意思是。。。它变得好快！~”– Tegan Quin

Mealtime
"Then I ate something . . . " – Tegan Quin
进餐时间
“然后我吃了一些东西。。。”– Tegan Quin

Supervising
"Mike recorded some guitar while Sara supervised. I was probably there, too – just out of the frame." – Tegan Quin
监督指导
“Mike在sara的指导下录下了一些吉他配音。我可以也在那儿。。只是在画面之外”– Tegan Quin

"This is a real closeup of Tegan getting ready to 'ohh' and 'ahh' the heck out of one of my songs. Background parts are incredibly important to us, and Tegan made magic happen."
”这是tegan正准备在我的一首歌里伴唱发出”噢噢噢“和“嗷嗷嗷”见鬼一样声音的特写。配乐部分对我们来说都很重要，tegan让奇迹发生了。“
（tegan侧颜美如画～）

"Mike and Tegan look real tough with their tattoos, so I went out and got some stick on kind at the gas station down the street so I could look cool in this photo."
Mike 和Tegan 手上的纹身让他们看起来好坏好坏的，所以我把一只手放在肌肉后面撑起来好让我也看起来很酷。。（lz根据上下文和图片乱翻的，实在get不到什么街边的加油站森马的表打我）

"Greg just found out he has been officially given the title 'Wizard Kurstin' in the producer community!" - Sara Quin
"格雷才知道在制作人业界他被正式的赋予“鬼才Kurstin”的头衔。" - Sara Quin
（图中男子全名Greg Kurstin，楼主对米国音乐界不熟）
"Chopsticks sounds incredibly impressive when played sullenly on a grand piano." - Sara Quin
"当你在一架豪华的钢琴前突然弹起Chopsticks，听起来会给人留下极为深刻的印象。" - Sara Quin
（Chopsticks是美国传奇钢琴家李伯拉斯的一首曲子，此人演奏技巧精湛，表演风格十分华丽，大家搜一下这首Chopsticks听听就知道了）

大家元宵节快乐！～
喵～

"We made Wizard Kurstin start a side project with us. He had no choice but to accept the offer after he heard how many freestyles Tegan could write in ten minutes using this tiny keyboard." - Sara Quin
”我们让Wizard Kurstin和我们一起开始了一个编外计划。当他在十分钟内听到tegan用这把小小的电子琴弹出出各种风格的曲子之后，他没有选择只能接受了”- Sara Quin

"Tegan and this dog Greta Garbage are starting another side project called 'Greta Garbage and Tegan go to Hollywood.' All joking aside, so many dogs have friended Tegan on Facebook since she barked in last weeks episode of Carpool Confessional." - Sara Quin
“tegan和这只名叫 Greta Garbage的狗开始了另一个叫做： Greta Garbage和Tegan要进军好莱坞”编外计划。不开玩笑，Tegan在上星期的Carpool Confessional一集里大声学狗狗叫之后，很多狗狗在脸书上都关注了她." - Sara Quin
注：1.side-project中文名称是编外计划，是在流行音乐里，一个音乐歌唱组合中有一个或以上的成员自己进行额外的音乐项目，也可以是为了暂时换换风格或曲风。
2.Carpool Confessional这个小短剧在爱奇艺上有人上传。。

"Let me be the first to tell you that I am doing a lot of whistling on this record. Basically Greg is helping us bridge the gap between pop music and underground whistling culture. It's sort of the new dubstep." - Sara Quin
“让我做第一个告诉你们这些的人：在这张专辑里有很多吹口哨声都是我吹的。主要都是Greg帮我们将流行音乐和地下的口哨文化的差距减小。这算得上是一种新的dubstep音乐。- Sara Quin
（dubstep电子乐的一种，具体百度——喵注）

"Are you kidding me with this hair Tegan!? Its super-professional looking, especially next to my helmet. 'Embrace the curl' is my new mantra going forward." - Sara Quin
”Tegan你的发型肿么了在逗我嘛？！它看起来真是超级专业，特别是在我头盔一样的发型旁边。从现在开始“信奉卷发”是我的新口头禅。“ - Sara Quin
Tegan的眼神杀～这是看女票的眼神嘛～
（Embrace是个很宗教的用词额，感觉圣经翻译成中文都怪怪的，我在这也就很纠结怎么翻，翻译真的很容易毁掉原文的感觉。。。）
