2012 was a banner year for

Phillip Phillips
.

You won
‘
American Idol
amidst challenging circumstanceswith your health. Your first single went platinum
…
twice. You released an album where youwrote your own songs. Is your mind totally blown? Are you pinching yourself?
你当时在和病魔作斗争的状态下赢得了美偶冠军。你的首单是双白金了，你的专辑里大部分都是你自己写的歌。这一切有木有人让你觉得不真实？你有木有掐一掐自己验证一下？
It
’
s been a
c
razy year, that
’
s for sure. But I
made it through. I didn
’
t expect any of this
to happen, from the Olympics using the song to commercials. Now that the
album came out, people seem to like it. It
’
s just crazy how fast this year has been. I try to take it
all in when I can, but it
’
s tough. I am
thankful, though.
今年对我来说的确很疯狂，我完全木有想到现在的任何一切会发生，无论是奥运会用

还是现在的各种广告。现在专辑出来后，大家好像都还挺喜欢的。今年真心是太不可思议了。我还是努力接受现在的事实，但同时今年也很艰难。无论怎样，我都很感激。


Let’s talk about the Olympics! Did that make you feel any sort of pressure?
既然你提到了，那咱们谈一谈奥运会吧，
Home
在奥运会被征用有没有给你很多压力？
I actually thought it was really cool and amazing. I felt like it was an honor for them to choose the song. It caught me off guard, the fact that they wanted to use it. That is an honor. I remember getting on Twitter, at first, when people were saying they heard the song. Everything that has happened after that has just been a “wow”to me. The song was on all the time. I am so thankful for that.
我觉得灰常带感。他们选择
Home
让我觉得很荣幸。我那时候完全不知道他们想要用
Home
。我还是在推上看到大家在说看奥运会的时候听到
Home
然后我才知道的。之后
Home
就越来越成功了，遍大街都能听到。我很感激。

Your health issues were well documented this year. How are you health-wise?
你的健康问题一直保密的很啊，你现在怎么样？
I am doing great. I am taking it easy, whenever that’s possible. Everything is good.
我很好啊。只要有机会我就会好好休息，一切都挺好的。
You really soldiered through it, often performing through pain.
在美偶上你很坚强地挺过来了，经常都是在病痛中表演是吧？
It was tough, but I pushed through it. I have to say that I had great doctors.
那时候是很难的，但是我坚持下来了。不得不提我的医生很厉害。

You were also a bit of a heartthrob on the show. We still remember when Ryan Seacrest reacted “aggressively” to his girlfriend Julianne Hough saying “yummy” when you walked by! How do you deal with that aspect of fame?
在美偶上你可是大众情人的赶脚啊，我们还记得
Ryan
的女朋友说你“秀色可餐”然后
Ryan
整个都心碎了。你如何处理这方面的名气啊？
I don’t pay attention to it. I am mo
re about the music than anything else and I want people to connect with that. It’s music that helps me out therapeutically, and I believe that it will help other people. I don’t pay attention to that kind of stuff.
我不会在意这些。音乐才是我在乎的事情，我希望大家能和我的音乐产生共鸣而喜欢我。爱音乐有益健康啊，音乐就是我的良药。我相信其他人也能从音乐中获益。我平常都不在意我的外貌啊之类的。
【是啊。。。。从乃穿衣的风格就看出乃完全不在乎外表了。。。可是谁让你长了张那么好看的脸 想让人不注意都难啊】

So, let’s talk about the album. When did you find the time to write songs?
那么，咱们聊一下你的专辑吧。你是如何找到时间写那些歌的？
Some of my songs were written before ‘Idol’ and some were written during, and then I wrote a few new ones after ‘Idol.’ The album represents me musically, since I wrote everything but two songs. I had a great producer, who taught me a lot of things about the process of recording an album. He taught me about taking something out and putting something back in when creating a song, and I appreciate that. We did the record in three weeks from start to finish, and I will tell you that it was a crazy three weeks.
专辑里有些歌是美偶之前就写好的，有些是在美偶期间写的。然后美偶之后我也写了一些。这张专辑代表了我的音乐风格，因为里面只有俩首歌我木有参与创作。我的制作人很棒，他教了我很多东西，关于录专辑啊啥的。我很感谢他。从开始到结束，专辑制作用了三个周。那可是忙死累死的三个周。
Three weeks? How did you manage to get it done in such a short span of time?
三个周？你是怎么在三个周内完成的？
From cutting the guitars to mastering, we did it all in three weeks. It was unbelievable for all of us.
从吉他伴奏到录声音，我们在三个周内做完的。对所有人来说都很不可思议。

What’s on the Phillip Phillips agenda for 2013?
你明年的计划是啥？
Hopefully a lot of touring and playing out. I am a live guy, anyway. I’m looking forward to it.
我希望能有机会多巡演多表演。我喜欢现场表演。我很期待
【也不搞几张新图片。。真是的。。。】


Pick one song from the album and share a writing or recording story.
从专辑里选一首歌，分享一下创作或者录制的背后故事？
I can tell you a story about ‘Tell Me a Story.’ I wrote it after ‘Idol’ had ended. I had the music written during the show, but I had not written any words. I was in a hotel room one night and started writing lyrics. I wrote the first verse, and then the ending. Later on, I wrote the chorus. But for the life of me, I couldn’t write a second verse. A good friend helped out with second verse, and after that, I didn’t like the chorus anymore.
Tell Me A Story
是美偶结束的时候我写的。我写了旋律但是木有填歌词。有个晚上，我在旅店里开始写歌词。我写了第一段然后写了结尾的歌词。后来，我写了副歌部分。但是无论怎样的我也写不出第二段的歌词，一个好朋友帮我写好了第二段，之后我就不喜欢我写的副歌部分了。
【这算毛线背后故事啊。。都木有趣、、、、、】

You’re a Southern gentlemen. What is your absolute favorite thing about the South?
你是个南方绅士，关于南方你最爱的是啥？
The food. It might not be the best thing for you, but it’s one thing I enjoy.
吃的。或许对你来说不是最好的，但是绝对是我的最爱木有之一。
Which is your favorite cuisine?
最爱的菜？
Oh, that’s hard. There are just too many. Chicken and dumplings, and chicken pot pie. I love chicken and anything to do with chicken. I love anything that’s homemade. Oh, and BBQ. And I love green beans. There is so much good food. I can go on and on and on.
哎呀这就太难选了，我爱吃的太多了。鸡肉，饺子，鸡肉派。总之，我爱鸡肉以及和鸡肉相关的一切。我还喜欢所有的家常菜。嗷，还有烧烤。我还爱吃四季豆。好吃的东西实在是太多了。我可以一直列表列到世界末日。
You’re making us hungry. But we notice you did not mention any sweets or baked goods.
你说的我们都饿了。我们注意到你木有提到甜点或者烘烤制品？
How did I forget something sweet?! I gotta go with pecan pie. That’s great, and so is the fresh apple pie.
咦？我居然忘了提甜点？？我超喜欢核桃派的，无敌好吃。还有新鲜的苹果派。
【吃货本色

You went through the whole ‘American Idol’rigmarole. Do you have any advice for Season 12 hopefuls?
你经历美偶冗长的比赛存活下来了，对于美偶十二季的选手你有啥么建议么？
Be yourself, and don’t be scared to do that. Don’t be scared to speak what’s on your mind, but be respectful. Don’t be afraid to show America who you are and the fact that you don’t have to change. If people like you, then they like you. If they don’t, they don’t. Don’t be mad at people who don’t like you. Just be who are you. Be the artist that you want to be.
做自己，无论怎样都要坚持做自己。不要害怕说出自己的想法，但是要有礼貌。不要害怕向美帝展示真正的自己，不需要改变自己来迎合什么。如果大家喜欢你，那他们就喜欢你，如果他们不喜欢那就不喜欢。不要生那些不喜欢你的人的气。只要坚持做自己，努力成为自己想要成为的艺人。
