03:35
I took my shoes off to dance,
6
203000
2000
为了跳舞我把鞋脱了，
03:37
but maybe I'll get at that later.
7
205000
3000
我等一会儿再穿吧。
03:40
Anyways, I... where to start?
8
208000
4000
然后，我……从哪儿开始说呢？
03:44
Well, I'm really excited
9
212000
3000
我很高兴今天
03:47
to talk a bit about
10
215000
3000
能向大家介绍
03:50
my own upbringing in music
11
218000
3000
我的音乐之路
03:53
and family and all of that,
12
221000
3000
和我的家庭，
03:56
but I'm even more excited for you people
13
224000
2000
不过更令我激动的是
03:58
to hear about Donnell's amazing family
14
226000
3000
Donnell今天也有机会向你们介绍
04:01
and maybe even a little bit about
15
229000
2000
他了不起的家庭以及
04:03
how we met,
16
231000
2000
我们相遇的故事，
04:05
and all that sort of thing,
17
233000
3000
我要说的大概就是这些，
04:08
but for those of you that may not
18
236000
2000
现场有些观众可能不是很了解
04:10
be familiar with my upbringing,
19
238000
4000
我的出身。
04:14
I'm from Cape Breton Island,
20
242000
3000
我来自位于加拿大东部新斯科舍省
04:17
Nova Scotia, eastern Canada,
21
245000
3000
的布雷顿角岛，
04:20
which is a very, very musical island,
22
248000
3000
岛上的音乐气氛非常浓厚，
04:23
and its origins come from Scotland
23
251000
3000
岛上的人、音乐以及所有的传统
04:26
with the music and all the traditions,
24
254000
3000
舞蹈、语言
04:29
the dancing, the language,
25
257000
3000
都是苏格兰裔，
04:32
which unfortunately is dying out
26
260000
3000
不幸的是布雷顿角的这一切
04:35
in Cape Breton.
27
263000
2000
现在都在逐渐消亡。
04:37
The traditional language is Gaelic,
28
265000
2000
布雷顿角的传统语言是盖尔语（Gaelic），
04:39
but a lot of the music came
29
267000
2000
很多音乐都来自于
04:41
from the Gaelic language,
30
269000
2000
这种语言，
04:43
and the dancing and the singing
31
271000
2000
舞蹈、歌曲等等
04:45
and everything, and my bloodline
32
273000
3000
也是如此，我的血统是
04:48
is Scottish through and through,
33
276000
3000
彻彻底底的苏格兰裔，
04:51
but my mother and father
34
279000
3000
我的母亲和父亲
04:54
are two very, very musical people.
35
282000
3000
都非常热爱音乐。
04:57
My mom taught me to dance
36
285000
3000
我五岁的时候
05:00
when I was five, and my dad
37
288000
3000
我妈妈教我跳舞，九岁的时候
05:03
taught me to play fiddle when I was nine.
38
291000
3000
我爸爸教我拉小提琴。
05:06
My uncle is a very well-known
39
294000
2000
我的叔叔是一位非常著名的
05:08
Cape Breton fiddler.
40
296000
2000
布雷顿角小提琴演奏家。
05:10
His name's Buddy MacMaster,
41
298000
2000
他叫做Buddy MacMaster，
05:12
and just a wonderful guy,
42
300000
3000
是一个了不起的人物，
05:15
and we have a great tradition at home
43
303000
2000
我们家里有跳方块舞（square dancing）
05:17
called square dancing,
44
305000
2000
的优良传统，
05:19
and we had parties, great parties
45
307000
3000
我们也会在家里或者邻居的家里举办
05:22
at our house and the neighbors' houses,
46
310000
3000
派对，非常棒的派对，
05:25
and you talk about kitchen cèilidhs.
47
313000
2000
我们常说厨房“凯利”。
05:27
Well, cèilidh first of all is Gaelic for party,
48
315000
4000
“凯利”在盖尔语中是派对的意思，
05:31
but kitchen party
49
319000
2000
厨房派对
05:33
in Cape Breton is very common,
50
321000
3000
在布雷顿角非常普遍，
05:36
and basically somebody drops into the house,
51
324000
3000
厨房派对大体是这样的，一个人拜访别人的家
05:39
and no matter what house you go to
52
327000
2000
在布雷顿角，所有人家里
05:41
in Cape Breton, there's a fiddle there,
53
329000
2000
都有小提琴，
05:43
guaranteed, and I'd say,
54
331000
2000
这点我敢保证
05:45
well there's first of all more fiddlers
55
333000
2000
布雷顿角的人均拥有的小提琴数量
05:47
per capita in Cape Breton than anywhere
56
335000
2000
位居世界第一
05:49
in the world, so ten chances to one,
57
337000
2000
因此，前来拜访的人
05:51
the fellow who walked in the door
58
339000
2000
十有八九
05:53
could play it, so you'd have someone come
59
341000
2000
会拉小提琴，所以我们邀请
05:55
into the house, you'd invite them to play
60
343000
2000
前来的拜访的客人
05:57
a tune, and lo and behold
61
345000
2000
拉一首曲子，然后
05:59
a little party would start up and somebody would dance,
62
347000
2000
一个小型派对就开始了，有人跳舞
06:01
and somebody would sing, and all that sort of thing,
63
349000
2000
有人唱歌，大家一起享受音乐，
06:03
so it was a wonderful, wonderful way
64
351000
2000
这是非常棒
06:05
to grow up, and that is where
65
353000
2000
的成长经历，也是
06:07
my beginnings in music come from:
66
355000
2000
我的音乐生涯的开始：
06:09
my surroundings, my family,
67
357000
2000
我成长的环境，我的家庭，
06:11
just my bloodline in itself, and, oh,
68
359000
3000
我的血统，
06:14
I've done lots of things with my music.
69
362000
3000
我做了很多与音乐有关的事情。
06:17
I've recorded lots of CDs.
70
365000
2000
我录制了很多唱片。
06:19
I was nominated for a Grammy and
71
367000
2000
得到过一个格莱美奖提名
06:21
I've won some awards and stuff like that,
72
369000
2000
以及获得过一些奖项。
06:23
so that's awesome,
73
371000
2000
这些经历都非常棒，
06:25
but the best part was meeting my husband,
74
373000
3000
然而其中最棒的还要数与我的丈夫相遇，
06:28
and I've actually known Donnell
75
376000
3000
实际上我和Donnell认识
06:31
for probably 12 years now, and
76
379000
3000
已经十二年了，
06:34
I'm going to get into a little bit of, I guess,
77
382000
3000
我想，我会简要的介绍一下，
06:37
how music brought us together,
78
385000
3000
音乐如何让我们走到一起，
06:40
but I'm going to introduce you
79
388000
3000
不过现在我先要向大家介绍
06:43
right now to my new husband
80
391000
3000
我的新婚丈夫
06:46
as of October 5,
81
394000
3000
十月五号刚刚转正的，
06:49
Donnell Leahy. (Applause)
82
397000
3000
Donnell Leahy。（掌声）
06:52
(Applause)
83
400000
9000
（掌声）
07:01
Donnell Leahy: Thank you. I'm kind of new to the TED
84
409000
2000
Donnell Leahy：谢谢。我对TED还不是很熟悉
07:03
experience and I'm glad to be here,
85
411000
2000
我很高兴来到这里，
07:05
but I'm just trying to put it all together,
86
413000
2000
我正在努力搞懂这一切，
07:07
trying to figure all you people out, and I've
87
415000
2000
弄清你们都是些什么人物
07:09
been here for a short while, and I'm starting
88
417000
2000
在这里呆了一会儿之后
07:11
to understand a little bit better.
89
419000
2000
我已经不觉得那么陌生了。
07:13
So I asked Natalie, what do I do?
90
421000
2000
我问Natalie，我上台要干什么呢？
07:15
And she said, just talk about yourself.
91
423000
2000
她叫我介绍一下自己。
07:17
It's kind of boring, but I'll just tell you a little
92
425000
2000
这可能会有点无聊，不过我就介绍一下吧
07:19
bit about my family. I'm one of 11 brothers
93
427000
2000
说一说我的家庭。我来自多伦多西北，安大略省莱克菲尔德（Lakefield）
07:21
and sisters from Lakefield, Ontario,
94
429000
3000
距多伦多一个半小时车程，
07:24
an hour and a half northeast of Toronto,
95
432000
3000
我有十个兄弟姐妹
07:27
and we grew up on a farm.
96
435000
2000
我们在农场长大。
07:29
Mom and Dad raised beef cattle,
97
437000
3000
我的父亲和母亲养肉牛，
07:32
and I'm the oldest boy.
98
440000
4000
我是家中最大的男孩。
07:36
There are four girls a little bit older than me.
99
444000
2000
我有四个比我稍微大一点的姐姐。
07:38
We grew up without a television.
100
446000
2000
我小时候家里没有电视。
07:40
People find that strange,
101
448000
2000
很多人觉得奇怪，
07:42
but I think it was a great blessing for us.
102
450000
3000
但我觉得这是我们的福气。
07:45
We had a television for a few years,
103
453000
3000
我们曾经有过电视，
07:48
but of course we wasted so much time
104
456000
2000
并因此浪费了很多时间
07:50
and the work wasn't getting done,
105
458000
2000
工作都完成不了，
07:52
so out went the television.
106
460000
3000
所以电视就被扫地出门了。
07:55
We grew up playing—
107
463000
3000
我们从小就——
07:58
Mom's from Cape Breton, coincidentally.
108
466000
2000
我的妈妈恰巧也来自布雷顿角。
08:00
Mom and Natalie's mother
109
468000
2000
她认识Natalie的妈妈。
08:02
knew each other. We grew up playing,
110
470000
2000
我们从小就演奏音乐
08:04
and used to dance together, right, yeah.
111
472000
2000
还曾经一起跳舞，恩，是的。
08:06
(Laughter) We grew up playing a bunch of,
112
474000
2000
（笑声）我们从小就演奏乐器，
08:08
we played by ear and I think
113
476000
3000
即兴演奏，我认为
08:11
that's important for us because
114
479000
2000
这对于我们来说非常重要
08:13
we were not really exposed to a lot of
115
481000
2000
因为我们没有接触过多的
08:15
different styles of music.
116
483000
2000
其它风格的音乐。
08:17
We learned to play the instruments,
117
485000
2000
我们学习演奏乐器，
08:19
but we kind of had to come from within
118
487000
2000
但我们的音乐都来自内心
08:21
or go from within, because we didn't
119
489000
2000
生发自内心，因为
08:23
watch television, we didn't listen to a lot of
120
491000
2000
我们不看电视，我们不怎么听广播
08:25
radio. We went to church
121
493000
2000
我们上学
08:27
and to school sometimes,
122
495000
2000
有时候去教堂，
08:29
and farmed and played music,
123
497000
2000
干农活、演奏音乐，
08:31
so we were able, I think,
124
499000
2000
我想因此我们才能在
08:33
at a very critical age to develop
125
501000
2000
关键的年纪
08:35
our own style, our own self,
126
503000
3000
发展出我们自己的风格，找到真正的自我，
08:38
and my mother plays, my father plays,
127
506000
3000
我的父亲母亲都会演奏乐器
08:41
and the style that came
128
509000
3000
他们的风格来自
08:44
from the Ottawa Valley in Ontario,
129
512000
2000
安大略的渥太华谷，
08:46
we call it French-Canadian style
130
514000
3000
叫做法式加拿大风格
08:49
but it originated in logging camps.
131
517000
2000
这种风格最早起源于伐木场。
08:51
Years ago, hundreds of men would go
132
519000
3000
多年以前，成百上千的人
08:54
up for the winter to the camps
133
522000
2000
冬天会去
08:56
in Northern Ontario and in Quebec,
134
524000
3000
魁北克和北安大略的伐木场，
08:59
and they were all different cultures,
135
527000
3000
他们都来自不同的文化，
09:02
and the Irish, the French, Scottish,
136
530000
2000
爱尔兰人、法国人、苏格兰人、
09:04
German, they'd all meet, and of course
137
532000
2000
德国人，他们在那里相遇，晚上
09:06
at night, they'd play cards
138
534000
3000
当然就打牌
09:09
and step dance and play fiddles,
139
537000
2000
跳踢踏舞、拉小提琴
09:11
and over the course of many years,
140
539000
3000
所以随着时间的推移
09:14
the Ottawa Valley fiddling kind of evolved
141
542000
2000
渥太华谷的小提琴演奏在不断进化
09:16
and the Ottawa Valley step dancing
142
544000
2000
渥太华谷的踢踏舞也在不断进化
09:18
evolved, so that's, I kind of started out
143
546000
2000
我最早的风格
09:20
with that style and I quickly
144
548000
3000
就来源于此，不过我很快就开创了
09:23
started doing my own thing,
145
551000
3000
我自己的风格，
09:26
and then I met Natalie, and I was
146
554000
3000
后来我遇见了Natalie，随之
09:29
exposed to the great Cape Breton fiddling.
147
557000
3000
接触到了伟大的布雷顿角小提琴风格。
09:32
That's how we met. (Laughter)
148
560000
3000
我们就是这样相遇的。
09:35
You tell them. (Laughter)
149
563000
3000
你跟他们说吧。（笑声）
09:38
NM: You want to or no? (Laughter)
150
566000
3000
NM：你到底想不想说？（笑声）
09:41
Well I guess I have to now.
151
569000
3000
这样一来，我就不得不说了。
09:44
Well, it's just so interesting that
152
572000
3000
Donnell的出身和我非常相似
09:47
Donnell's upbringing was very similar
153
575000
3000
这十分有趣
09:50
to mine, and I actually saw Donnell play
154
578000
3000
事实上，我第一次看到Donnell演奏
09:53
when I was about 12 years old,
155
581000
3000
的时候是12岁
09:56
and he and his family came to
156
584000
3000
他和他的家人来
09:59
Inverness, which is about 45 minutes
157
587000
3000
因佛内斯（Inverness），距离我家
10:02
from where I lived, and I was just
158
590000
3000
大约四十五分钟，我被他
10:05
blown away, like, it was just amazing,
159
593000
3000
的演奏震撼了，实在太精彩了，
10:08
and you'll find out why pretty soon here,
160
596000
3000
你们等下看过他的表演之后就明白我的意思了，
10:11
but I couldn't believe the fiddling
161
599000
2000
他演奏小提琴简直让人不敢相信
10:13
and Mom was there with me,
162
601000
2000
我的妈妈当时也在那里
10:15
and she was saying —
163
603000
2000
她说——
10:17
Donnell's mother came up on stage
164
605000
2000
Donnel的妈妈当时也在舞台上
10:19
and danced with her children, and Mom
165
607000
2000
和她的孩子们一起跳舞
10:21
was saying, "That's Julie MacDonnell,
166
609000
2000
我的妈妈告诉我，“那是Julie MacDonnell，
10:23
I used to dance with her when we
167
611000
2000
我们小时候
10:25
were kids. Little did I think our children
168
613000
3000
曾经一起跳舞，我真没想到
10:28
would be playing instruments, you know,
169
616000
2000
我们的孩子都会演奏乐器，
10:30
playing music, yeah."
170
618000
2000
演奏音乐。”
10:32
Twelve years, er, 20 years later little did she think
171
620000
3000
她肯定也没想到十二年，不对，二十年之后
10:35
her kids would be getting married,
172
623000
2000
她们的孩子会结婚，
10:37
but anyway, so, then I got
173
625000
3000
反正，这件事发生，大概，
10:40
a phone call about, I dunno,
174
628000
3000
七年之后，我接到一个电话。
10:43
seven years later. I was 19,
175
631000
2000
那时我十九岁，
10:45
first or second year of college,
176
633000
2000
刚刚大学一二年级，
10:47
and it was Donnell, and
177
635000
3000
是Dennell打来的，
10:50
he said "Hi, you probably don't know me
178
638000
3000
他说“你好， 你可能不认识我
10:53
but my name is Donnell Leahy."
179
641000
2000
我叫Donnell Leahy。”
10:55
And I said, "I know you.
180
643000
2000
我说：“我认识你。
10:57
I have a tape of yours at home."
181
645000
2000
我家还有一盘你的带子。”
10:59
And he said, "Well, I'm in Truro,"
182
647000
2000
他说，“恩，我现在特鲁罗，”
11:01
which is where I was,
183
649000
3000
我当时也在特鲁罗，
11:04
and he asked me out for supper.
184
652000
3000
然后他就邀请我吃晚餐。
11:07
That's it. (Laughter)
185
655000
2000
就是这样。（笑声）
11:09
(Applause)
186
657000
3000
（掌声）
11:12
Then — Will I keep going? (Laughs)
187
660000
3000
然而——我还要继续说吗？（笑）
11:15
(Laughter)
188
663000
2000
（笑声）
11:17
Then we dated for two years,
189
665000
2000
然后我们约会了两年，
11:19
broke up for 10, got back together
190
667000
3000
分开十年，再复合
11:22
and got married. (Laughter) (Applause)
191
670000
3000
然后就结婚了。（笑声）（掌声）
11:25
DL: So anyway, we're running out of time,
192
673000
3000
DL：我们时间不多了
11:28
so I'll just get to it.
193
676000
3000
所以我就直接开始了。
11:31
I'm going to play a piece of music for you.
194
679000
3000
我将要为演奏一首乐曲。
11:34
It's actually a Scottish piece I've chosen.
195
682000
3000
我选择的是一首苏格兰乐曲。
11:37
I starts out with a slow air.
196
685000
2000
开头比较舒缓。
11:39
Airs were played in Europe
197
687000
3000
在欧洲，人们经常在葬礼上演奏这种音乐
11:42
at burials, as a body was carried out
198
690000
2000
当灵柩从守夜的地方呗抬到
11:44
from the wake site to the burial site,
199
692000
2000
埋葬的地方时
11:46
the procession was led by a piper
200
694000
2000
风笛手或者小提琴手
11:48
or a fiddle player.
201
696000
2000
会引领前进的队列。
11:50
I'll quickly play a short part of the air,
202
698000
3000
我会很快的演奏这首乐曲的一部分，
11:53
and then I'm going to get into
203
701000
2000
然后我就会拉一段
11:55
kind of a crazy tune that is very difficult
204
703000
2000
疯狂的旋律，在没有热身的情况下
11:57
to play when you're not warmed up,
205
705000
2000
这一段非常难拉，
11:59
so, if I mess it up, pretend you like it
206
707000
2000
因此，如果我出错了，假装你们喜欢就好了。
12:01
anyway. It's called The Banks.
207
709000
3000
曲子的名字叫做The Banks。
12:07
(Tuning)
208
715000
14000

NM: Well, we're gonna play one
212
1004000
2000
NM：那么我们再一起演奏
16:58
together now. (Applause)
213
1006000
2000
一曲吧。（掌声）
17:00
We're laughing, like, because
214
1008000
3000
我们笑是因为
17:03
our styles are totally different,
215
1011000
2000
我们的风格完全不同，
17:05
as you can hear.
216
1013000
3000
你们听过了一定也发现了。
17:08
And so, you know, Donnell and I
217
1016000
3000
Donnell和我
17:11
are actually in the process of
218
1019000
2000
其实正在尝试
17:13
writing new pieces of music together
219
1021000
2000
创作我们可以一起演奏
17:15
that we can play,
220
1023000
2000
的音乐，
17:17
but we don't have any of those ready.
221
1025000
2000
但是我们还没有成功写出任何作品。
17:19
We just started yesterday. (Laughter)
222
1027000
3000
我们昨天才开始。（笑声）
17:22
So we're gonna play something together anyway.
223
1030000
2000
但是我们还是要一起演奏一曲。
17:24
DL: With one minute.
224
1032000
2000
DL：用最后一分钟时间。
17:26
NM: With one minute.

DL: You start. NM: No, you have to start,
227
1038000
2000
DL：你开始。NM：不行，必须从你开始，
17:32
because you've got to do your thing.
228
1040000
2000
你拉你的。
17:34

主持人：好消息，
19:53
they're running late downstairs.
238
1181000
2000

DL: We're going to play a tune
257
1297000
2000
DL：下面这首乐曲
21:51
and Natalie's going to accompany me on the piano.
258
1299000
2000
Natalie会弹钢琴配合我。
21:53
The Cape Breton piano playing
259
1301000
2000
布雷顿角钢琴演奏
21:55
is just awesome. It's very rhythmic
260
1303000
3000
非常棒。节奏感很强
21:58
and, you'll see it.
261
1306000
2000
你们很快就会体验到。
22:00
My mom plays piano, and she learned
262
1308000
3000
我妈妈会弹钢琴，
22:03
to play before they had a piano at home
263
1311000
2000
当时她在布雷顿角的家里还没有钢琴
22:05
in Cape Breton. Before Mom's family had
264
1313000
2000
她就已经学会怎么弹了。
22:07
a piano in Cape Breton, she learned to play
265
1315000
2000
没有钢琴的时候，她用一块板子
22:09
the rhythms on a piece of board,
266
1317000
3000
学习节奏，
22:12
and the fiddlers would all congregate
267
1320000
2000
很多小提琴手冬天寒冷的晚上
22:14
to play on the cold winter's evenings
268
1322000
2000
都会聚在一起演奏
22:16
and Mom would be banging on this board,
269
1324000
3000
我妈妈就会在板子上敲打，
22:19
so when they bought a piano,
270
1327000
2000
后来他们在多伦多
22:21
they bought it in Toronto and had it taken
271
1329000
2000
买了一架真的钢琴，
22:23
by train and brought in on a horse,
272
1331000
3000
然而先用火车再用马拉雪橇
22:26
a horse and sleigh to the house.
273
1334000
3000
运回家。
22:29
It became the only piano in the region,
274
1337000
2000
这是当时当地唯一的一台钢琴，
22:31
and Mom said she could basically play
275
1339000
2000
我妈妈说钢琴一来
22:33
as soon as the piano arrived,
276
1341000
3000
她就已经会弹了，
22:36
she could play it because she had learned
277
1344000
2000
因为她已经学会了
22:38
all these rhythms. Anyway, we found
278
1346000
2000
所有的节奏。我们去年
22:40
the piano last year and were able to
279
1348000
2000
找到了这架钢琴，而且
22:42
bring it back home. We purchased it.
280
1350000
2000
把它运回家了。我们再一次买下了它。
22:44
It had gone through, like,
281
1352000
2000
它几经易主，
22:46
five or six families,
282
1354000
2000
换了五六个主人，
22:48
and it was just a big thing for us,
283
1356000
2000
这对于我们来说是一件大事，
22:50
and we found actually an old picture
284
1358000
3000
事实上我们还发现一张其它家庭的
22:53
of somebody and their family years ago.
285
1361000
3000
老照片。
22:56
Anyway, I'm blabbering on here.
286
1364000
2000
我有点太唠叨了。
22:58
NM: No, I want you to tell them about Leahy.
287
1366000
2000
NM：没有，你跟他们说说Leahy乐队吧。
23:00
DL: What about Leahy? (Laughter)
288
1368000
3000
DL:Leahy怎么了？（笑声）
23:03
NM: Just tell them what—
289
1371000
3000
NM：跟他们说就是了——
23:06
DL: She wants me to talk about—
290
1374000
2000
DL：她希望我说说——
23:08
We have a band named Leahy.
291
1376000
2000
我们有一支名叫Leahy的乐队。
23:10
There's 11 siblings. We, um—
292
1378000
2000
由我家的十一个兄弟姐妹组成。我们，恩——
23:12
What will I tell them? (Laughter)
293
1380000
2000
我跟他们说什么（笑声）
23:14
We opened—
294
1382000
3000
我们为——
23:17
NM: No surgeries.
295
1385000
2000
NM:没有手术。
23:19
DL: No surgeries, oh yeah.
296
1387000
2000
DL：没有手术，是的。
23:21
We had a great opportunity.
297
1389000
2000
我们得到了一个很好的机会。
23:23
We opened for Shania Twain for two years on her international tour.
298
1391000
2000
我们担任Shania Twain（著名加拿大乡村歌手）国际巡演的开场乐队有两年时间。
23:25
It was a big thing for us, and now
299
1393000
2000
我们觉得非常荣幸和幸运，现在
23:27
all my sisters are off having babies
300
1395000
2000
我的姐妹们都离开乐队生孩子去了
23:29
and the boys are all getting married, so we're
301
1397000
2000
兄弟们则都在忙着结婚，所以
23:31
staying close to home for, I guess,
302
1399000
2000
我们可能会在家多呆
23:33
another couple of weeks.
303
1401000
2000
几个星期。
23:35
What can I say? I don't know what to say,
304
1403000
2000
我还要说什么？我不知道说什么了，
23:37
Natalie. We, uh... (Laughter)
305
1405000
4000
Natalie。我们，恩……（笑声）
23:44
(Laughter)
306
1412000
3000
（笑声）
23:48
NM: Is this what marriage is about?
307
1416000
2000
NM：这难道就是婚姻的真谛吗？
23:50
(Applause)
308
1418000
3000
（掌声）
23:53
I like it. (Applause)
309
1421000
3000
我喜欢这种感觉。（掌声）
23:59
(Laughter)
310
1427000
2000
（笑声）
24:01
DL: Oh yeah, okay,
311
1429000
2000
DL：好，好。
24:03
in my family we had seven girls, four boys,
312
1431000
3000
我家有七个女孩，四个男孩，
24:06
we had two fiddles and one piano,
313
1434000
2000
我们有两把小提亲和一架钢琴，
24:08
and of course we were all fighting to play
314
1436000
2000
我们都争着弹奏这些乐器
24:10
on the instruments, so dad and mom
315
1438000
3000
所以爸爸和妈妈
24:13
set a rule that you couldn't kick anyone
316
1441000
2000
制定了一条规则：不许打断别人的
24:15
off the instrument. You had to wait
317
1443000
2000
演奏。别人演奏完才轮到你。
24:17
until they were finished, so of course,
318
1445000
2000
结果，因为不想被兄弟姐妹
24:19
what we would do is we'd get on the piano
319
1447000
2000
抢去弹琴的机会，
24:21
and you wouldn't even get off to eat,
320
1449000
2000
我们只要坐在钢琴面前
24:23
because you wouldn't want to give it up
321
1451000
2000
就会废寝忘食的
24:25
to your brother or sister, and they'd wait
322
1453000
2000
一直演奏下去。别人就要
24:27
and wait and wait, and it'd be midnight
323
1455000
2000
一直等一直等，等到午夜
24:29
and you'd be still sitting there on the piano,
324
1457000
2000
前一个人可能还坐在钢琴前，
24:31
but it was their way to get us to practice.
325
1459000
3000
我爸爸妈妈就是这样督促我们练琴的。
24:34
Will we play a tune?
326
1462000
2000
我们来一曲吧？
24:36
NM: It worked. DL: It worked.
327
1464000
3000
NM：可以的。DL：好的。
24:39

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Natalie MacMaster - FiddlerNatalie MacMaster is a star of Cape Breton fiddling, a Canadian tradition with Scottish roots. Her energetic style and virtuoso talent has brought her star billing on the international folk circuit.
Why you should listen
It's not easy to make traditional Irish-Scottish music sound sexy and yet still seem wholesome. But Natalie MacMaster manages this feat, drawing listeners in with her playful showmanship, and then holding them rapt with astounding technical flourishes.
The niece of renowned Canadian fiddler Buddy MacMaster, she's taken up the mantle as standard-bearer for Cape Breton fiddling, a method of Scottish-style violin-playing that's evolved over the last century on this island neighbor to Nova Scotia. The tradition was on the wane when, in 1972, a CBS documentary provocatively titled The Vanishing Cape Breton Fiddler jump-started preservation efforts in the fiddling community.
MacMaster's enthusiastic charm and extraordinary skill has landed her star billing on the international folk circuit and multiple Grammy nominations. She's released nine albums, including Yours Truly (2006), Natalie and Buddy MacMaster (2005) and My Roots Are Showing (1998). She's toured with countless performers, including the Chieftains, Faith Hill, Carlos Santana and Alison Krauss, and has been awarded two Juno Awards (Canada's equivalent to the Grammy).
