第 63 课:Enrique Iglesias Dream Comes True 安里奎·伊格莱希亚斯—美梦成真-2

O'NEILL 奥内尔
Enrique shopped his first demo under the pseudonym Enrique Martinez. He wanted people to pay attention to his music, not his pedigree. 他的第一张样本唱片冠以笔名安吉洛·马丁内兹。他只想让人们注意他的音乐,而不是他的家世。

You want to know that your accomplishments belong to you and not because you have the same name as a world famous international pop superstar frequently photographed in a tuxedo. 你想知道你的成就属于你,而不是因为你与某位经常出入正式场合、被镜头追逐的国际流行乐巨星拥有相同的姓氏。

Success came quickly. In 1995, the young Iglesias earned a three-record deal, and only then did he finally reveal his dream to his parents. They just couldn't believe they didn't know about it. It took a few months, maybe a few years, but they're cool about it. They looked around and said, you know, you were right, you know, you've done a great job. 成功来得很快。1995年他获得了3张唱片合约,这时,他最终把自己的真实想法向父母和盘托出。他们简直无法相信自己竟然被蒙在鼓里。几个月后,可能是几年后,他们终于冷静地对待这件事了。经过仔细考虑,他们说,你是对的,你干得不错。

By the end of 1998, Enrique had sold more than 17 million Spanish language albums. The boy with the ardently independent nature earned Billboard, ASCAP, and World Music Awards, and the 1996 Grammy for best Latin performer. In 1999, Will Smith caught one of Enrique's shows in Los Angeles, and asked him to contribute a song to the "Wild, Wild West" soundtrack. 1998年底,他的拉丁语唱片销量超过1700万张。这位性格异常独立的小子囊括了Billboard 、ASCAP 、世界音乐奖, 以及1996年度格莱美最佳拉丁歌手奖。1999年,威尔·史密斯看了他在洛杉矶的一场演出,并邀请安里奎为电影《狂野西部》写一首插曲。

IGLESIAS 伊格莱希亚斯
He said, I'd like you to be in the soundtrack for the "Wild, Wild West". And I had this song, so I sent him over the song and he fell in love with it. 当时他对我说,我很希望电影《狂野西部》插曲中能有你的歌。恰巧我手头正好有这样一首歌,就寄给他,结果他非常喜欢。

O'NEILL 奥内尔
And so did the rest of the world. 全世界的歌迷也都非常喜欢。

That summer, "Balamos" hit number one on the charts. With the release of his English language album, "Enrique," that November, he was becoming one of pop music's biggest stars. In November 2001, his fifth album, "Escape," was released. And Enrique continues to burn up the charts musically. 那年夏天,《Balamos》雄居音乐排行榜冠军宝座。随着那年11月他的英语专辑《Enrique》的推出而一跃成为流行乐坛上一颗璀璨的巨星。2001年,他的第五张专辑《Escape 》问世。安里奎继续火爆乐坛。

O'NEILL 奥内尔
What cannot be disputed is Enrique's talent as a songwriter. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Iglesias writes most of his songs. 他歌曲创作天分是毋庸置疑的。与很多同时代歌手不同,他的歌曲大多是由他本人创作。

LEVY 莱文
With him you get more of a sense of someone who's got something to say, who's crafting his own material. None of us can escape from his love. And we can't escape from his songs lately either. 和他在一起,你更多地感觉到他总有些东西需要表达,总在悉心创作自己的作品。没有人能逃避他的爱。我们迟早都会被他的音乐所吸引。

FUGUEROA 费谷艾若
I really believe that we've only seen just a small portion of what he's capable of, and I think he's going to continue to evolve musically. 我认为我们看到的只是他才能的冰山一角,我相信他会在音乐上不断创新的。

IGLESIAS 安里奎
I have so much ambition. And I have so much will and so much love for music, that I just want to keep on going and getting better and better and better, and writing more and more songs. I too feel like I have so much inside of me that I need to express. 我有如此多的抱负、如此多的愿望和如此多的对音乐的热爱,以至于我只想要自己不断地提高,越唱越好,创作出更多的歌曲。我感到我内心充溢着太多东西,需要表达出来。
