03:35
I took my shoes off to dance,
6
203000
2000
我脫鞋是為了跳舞，
03:37
but maybe I'll get at that later.
7
205000
3000
或許晚點我就會跳了。
03:40
Anyways, I... where to start?
8
208000
4000
好了，該從哪裡開始呢？
03:44
Well, I'm really excited
9
212000
3000
嗯，我很開心
03:47
to talk a bit about
10
215000
3000
能分享
03:50
my own upbringing in music
11
218000
3000
我自己在音樂方面的成長背景，
03:53
and family and all of that,
12
221000
3000
還有我的家庭和相關的事。
03:56
but I'm even more excited for you people
13
224000
2000
但讓我更開心的是
03:58
to hear about Donnell's amazing family
14
226000
3000
你們將能聽到有關Donnell驚人的家庭
04:01
and maybe even a little bit about
15
229000
2000
甚至還有可能一些有關
04:03
how we met,
16
231000
2000
我們如何相遇
04:05
and all that sort of thing,
17
233000
3000
這類的事情。
04:08
but for those of you that may not
18
236000
2000
觀眾中有些人
04:10
be familiar with my upbringing,
19
238000
4000
可能不清楚我的成長背景。
04:14
I'm from Cape Breton Island,
20
242000
3000
我來自布雷頓角島，
04:17
Nova Scotia, eastern Canada,
21
245000
3000
位於加拿大東方的新斯科舍省。
04:20
which is a very, very musical island,
22
248000
3000
這是一個十分帶有音樂氣息的島嶼，
04:23
and its origins come from Scotland
23
251000
3000
當地的音樂還有各類傳統，
04:26
with the music and all the traditions,
24
254000
3000
像是舞蹈，語言，
04:29
the dancing, the language,
25
257000
3000
都來自蘇格蘭，
04:32
which unfortunately is dying out
26
260000
3000
不幸的是這些在布雷頓角島
04:35
in Cape Breton.
27
263000
2000
逐漸消失。
04:37
The traditional language is Gaelic,
28
265000
2000
傳統的語言是蓋爾語，
04:39
but a lot of the music came
29
267000
2000
很多音樂
04:41
from the Gaelic language,
30
269000
2000
從蓋爾語而來。
04:43
and the dancing and the singing
31
271000
2000
此外，舞蹈和歌唱，
04:45
and everything, and my bloodline
32
273000
3000
還有所有一切，包括我的血統
04:48
is Scottish through and through,
33
276000
3000
也是徹底的蘇格蘭人。
04:51
but my mother and father
34
279000
3000
我媽媽和爸爸
04:54
are two very, very musical people.
35
282000
3000
是兩位非常愛好音樂的人。
04:57
My mom taught me to dance
36
285000
3000
我五歲的時候，
05:00
when I was five, and my dad
37
288000
3000
我媽媽教我跳舞，
05:03
taught me to play fiddle when I was nine.
38
291000
3000
九歲時，我爸爸教我拉小提琴。
05:06
My uncle is a very well-known
39
294000
2000
我伯父是知名的
05:08
Cape Breton fiddler.
40
296000
2000
布雷頓角島小提琴家，
05:10
His name's Buddy MacMaster,
41
298000
2000
Buddy MacMaster，
05:12
and just a wonderful guy,
42
300000
3000
一個非常好的人，
05:15
and we have a great tradition at home
43
303000
2000
而我們在家鄉有個很棒的傳統
05:17
called square dancing,
44
305000
2000
就是方塊舞，
05:19
and we had parties, great parties
45
307000
3000
我們還在我們家或者鄰居家裡
05:22
at our house and the neighbors' houses,
46
310000
3000
舉辦很棒的派對，
05:25
and you talk about kitchen cèilidhs.
47
313000
2000
接著談到廚房派對(cèilidhs)。
05:27
Well, cèilidh first of all is Gaelic for party,
48
315000
4000
首先，cèilidhs這個字是蓋爾語的派對，
05:31
but kitchen party
49
319000
2000
廚房派對
05:33
in Cape Breton is very common,
50
321000
3000
在布雷頓角島十分常見，
05:36
and basically somebody drops into the house,
51
324000
3000
基本上，一個人如果到別人家拜訪，
05:39
and no matter what house you go to
52
327000
2000
不管你去到哪戶人家，
05:41
in Cape Breton, there's a fiddle there,
53
329000
2000
在布雷頓角島，家裡總會有一把小提琴，
05:43
guaranteed, and I'd say,
54
331000
2000
我保證。而且我敢說，
05:45
well there's first of all more fiddlers
55
333000
2000
以人數計算，布雷頓角島上
05:47
per capita in Cape Breton than anywhere
56
335000
2000
擁有比世界上其它任何地方更多的
05:49
in the world, so ten chances to one,
57
337000
2000
小提琴手。當一個人走進家中，
05:51
the fellow who walked in the door
58
339000
2000
十比一的機率是
05:53
could play it, so you'd have someone come
59
341000
2000
他會拉小提琴，於是當有人來到你家，
05:55
into the house, you'd invite them to play
60
343000
2000
你邀請他們彈奏樂曲，
05:57
a tune, and lo and behold
61
345000
2000
看著，
05:59
a little party would start up and somebody would dance,
62
347000
2000
一個小派對就此展開，人們會開始跳舞，
06:01
and somebody would sing, and all that sort of thing,
63
349000
2000
還有人會唱歌，諸如此類的，
06:03
so it was a wonderful, wonderful way
64
351000
2000
這是一個很棒的成長方式，
06:05
to grow up, and that is where
65
353000
2000
這也是我的
06:07
my beginnings in music come from:
66
355000
2000
音樂起源：
06:09
my surroundings, my family,
67
357000
2000
我的周遭環境，我的家庭，
06:11
just my bloodline in itself, and, oh,
68
359000
3000
我本身的血緣。另外，
06:14
I've done lots of things with my music.
69
362000
3000
我做了很多音樂的事情。
06:17
I've recorded lots of CDs.
70
365000
2000
我錄製了很多CD。
06:19
I was nominated for a Grammy and
71
367000
2000
我獲得過一次葛萊美獎提名，
06:21
I've won some awards and stuff like that,
72
369000
2000
我贏了一些獎項這類的，
06:23
so that's awesome,
73
371000
2000
這些都很美妙，
06:25
but the best part was meeting my husband,
74
373000
3000
但最好的部分是遇到我的丈夫，
06:28
and I've actually known Donnell
75
376000
3000
事實上，從我認識Donnell到現在
06:31
for probably 12 years now, and
76
379000
3000
大概有12年了，
06:34
I'm going to get into a little bit of, I guess,
77
382000
3000
我想我接著要說些
06:37
how music brought us together,
78
385000
3000
音樂如何撮合我們的事情，
06:40
but I'm going to introduce you
79
388000
3000
但我現在要先介紹
06:43
right now to my new husband
80
391000
3000
我的新丈夫給你們認識，
06:46
as of October 5,
81
394000
3000
我們10月5日結婚的，
06:49
Donnell Leahy. (Applause)
82
397000
3000
Donnell Leahy。(掌聲)
06:52
(Applause)
83
400000
9000
(掌聲)
07:01
Donnell Leahy: Thank you. I'm kind of new to the TED
84
409000
2000
Donnel Leahy:謝謝。這是我第一次來到TED講座，
07:03
experience and I'm glad to be here,
85
411000
2000
很開心能來這裡，
07:05
but I'm just trying to put it all together,
86
413000
2000
我正試著釐清該如何進行，
07:07
trying to figure all you people out, and I've
87
415000
2000
試著了解你們大家，
07:09
been here for a short while, and I'm starting
88
417000
2000
我才到這裡很短的一段時間，
07:11
to understand a little bit better.
89
419000
2000
而我開始了解的比較多了。
07:13
So I asked Natalie, what do I do?
90
421000
2000
我之前問Natalie，上台時該做什麼？
07:15
And she said, just talk about yourself.
91
423000
2000
她說，就談談你自己吧。
07:17
It's kind of boring, but I'll just tell you a little
92
425000
2000
這有點無聊，但我就告訴你們一些
07:19
bit about my family. I'm one of 11 brothers
93
427000
2000
有關我家庭的事。我家住在安大略省的雷克湖市，
07:21
and sisters from Lakefield, Ontario,
94
429000
3000
位於多倫多東北方，車程約一個半小時，
07:24
an hour and a half northeast of Toronto,
95
432000
3000
家中有11個兄弟姊妹，
07:27
and we grew up on a farm.
96
435000
2000
我們從小在農場長大。
07:29
Mom and Dad raised beef cattle,
97
437000
3000
我父母飼養牛肉牲口，
07:32
and I'm the oldest boy.
98
440000
4000
我是最年紀最大的兒子。
07:36
There are four girls a little bit older than me.
99
444000
2000
上面還有四個比我稍微年長一些的姊姊。
07:38
We grew up without a television.
100
446000
2000
我們在沒有電視的環境下長大。
07:40
People find that strange,
101
448000
2000
有人覺得很奇怪，
07:42
but I think it was a great blessing for us.
102
450000
3000
但我想這對我們是種恩賜。
07:45
We had a television for a few years,
103
453000
3000
幾年前我們有一台電視，
07:48
but of course we wasted so much time
104
456000
2000
但我們浪費太多時間在看電視，
07:50
and the work wasn't getting done,
105
458000
2000
工作都沒做好，
07:52
so out went the television.
106
460000
3000
所以電視就出局了。
07:55
We grew up playing—
107
463000
3000
從小我們玩些─
07:58
Mom's from Cape Breton, coincidentally.
108
466000
2000
我媽來自布雷頓角島，巧的是，
08:00
Mom and Natalie's mother
109
468000
2000
我媽和Natalie的媽媽
08:02
knew each other. We grew up playing,
110
470000
2000
以前就認識了。我們從小玩在一起，
08:04
and used to dance together, right, yeah.
111
472000
2000
一起跳舞，是的，
08:06
(Laughter) We grew up playing a bunch of,
112
474000
2000
(笑聲)我們一起拉小提琴，
08:08
we played by ear and I think
113
476000
3000
我們都很隨興演奏，
08:11
that's important for us because
114
479000
2000
我想這對我們來說很重要，
08:13
we were not really exposed to a lot of
115
481000
2000
因為當時我們並非真的
08:15
different styles of music.
116
483000
2000
能接觸到很多不同類型的音樂。
08:17
We learned to play the instruments,
117
485000
2000
我們學習如何彈奏樂器，
08:19
but we kind of had to come from within
118
487000
2000
但我們必須聆聽或者挖掘內心的聲音，
08:21
or go from within, because we didn't
119
489000
2000
因我們不看電視，
08:23
watch television, we didn't listen to a lot of
120
491000
2000
我們不聽大量的廣播節目。
08:25
radio. We went to church
121
493000
2000
有時候我們上教堂，
08:27
and to school sometimes,
122
495000
2000
或者去上學，
08:29
and farmed and played music,
123
497000
2000
我們也從事農作和玩音樂，
08:31
so we were able, I think,
124
499000
2000
於是我們能夠
08:33
at a very critical age to develop
125
501000
2000
在很關鍵性的年紀就開始培養
08:35
our own style, our own self,
126
503000
3000
我們的音樂風格，我們的素質，
08:38
and my mother plays, my father plays,
127
506000
3000
我父母都會拉小提琴，
08:41
and the style that came
128
509000
3000
我們的音樂風格起源於
08:44
from the Ottawa Valley in Ontario,
129
512000
2000
安大略省的渥太華山谷，
08:46
we call it French-Canadian style
130
514000
3000
我們稱之法裔加拿大人風格，
08:49
but it originated in logging camps.
131
517000
2000
其根源來自伐木營。
08:51
Years ago, hundreds of men would go
132
519000
3000
很久以前，好幾百位男子在冬天時
08:54
up for the winter to the camps
133
522000
2000
會登上安大略省北方和魁北克省的山上，
08:56
in Northern Ontario and in Quebec,
134
524000
3000
參加伐木營。
08:59
and they were all different cultures,
135
527000
3000
他們來自不同的文化北景，
09:02
and the Irish, the French, Scottish,
136
530000
2000
有愛爾蘭人、法國人、蘇格蘭人、
09:04
German, they'd all meet, and of course
137
532000
2000
德國人，他們聚在一起，而當然，
09:06
at night, they'd play cards
138
534000
3000
晚上時，他們會玩牌，
09:09
and step dance and play fiddles,
139
537000
2000
跳踏步舞和拉小提琴，
09:11
and over the course of many years,
140
539000
3000
經過多年的演變，
09:14
the Ottawa Valley fiddling kind of evolved
141
542000
2000
渥太華山谷的小提琴演奏和踏步舞
09:16
and the Ottawa Valley step dancing
142
544000
2000
逐漸發展成型，
09:18
evolved, so that's, I kind of started out
143
546000
2000
我以這些風格作為起點，
09:20
with that style and I quickly
144
548000
3000
接著我很快地
09:23
started doing my own thing,
145
551000
3000
開始做我自己的音樂，
09:26
and then I met Natalie, and I was
146
554000
3000
然後我遇到Natalie，
09:29
exposed to the great Cape Breton fiddling.
147
557000
3000
我接觸了很棒的布雷頓角島小提琴演奏。
09:32
That's how we met. (Laughter)
148
560000
3000
這就是我們如何相遇的。(掌聲)
09:35
You tell them. (Laughter)
149
563000
3000
你跟觀眾說吧。(笑聲)
09:38
NM: You want to or no? (Laughter)
150
566000
3000
你不說嗎？(笑聲)
09:41
Well I guess I have to now.
151
569000
3000
好吧，還是我來說。
09:44
Well, it's just so interesting that
152
572000
3000
有趣的是
09:47
Donnell's upbringing was very similar
153
575000
3000
我們兩個的成長背景十分類似，
09:50
to mine, and I actually saw Donnell play
154
578000
3000
實際上，大約是我12歲時，
09:53
when I was about 12 years old,
155
581000
3000
我看過Donnell演奏。
09:56
and he and his family came to
156
584000
3000
他和他的家人來到英凡尼斯,
09:59
Inverness, which is about 45 minutes
157
587000
3000
距離我住的地方
10:02
from where I lived, and I was just
158
590000
3000
約45分鐘的車程，
10:05
blown away, like, it was just amazing,
159
593000
3000
我對他印象深刻，演奏十分精彩。
10:08
and you'll find out why pretty soon here,
160
596000
3000
你在這裡即將親眼見證，
10:11
but I couldn't believe the fiddling
161
599000
2000
他的演奏讓我不敢置信，
10:13
and Mom was there with me,
162
601000
2000
我媽當時也在現場，
10:15
and she was saying —
163
603000
2000
她說 ─
10:17
Donnell's mother came up on stage
164
605000
2000
Donnell的媽媽上了舞台
10:19
and danced with her children, and Mom
165
607000
2000
和她的孩子們跳舞，
10:21
was saying, "That's Julie MacDonnell,
166
609000
2000
我媽說：「那是Julie MacDonnell，
10:23
I used to dance with her when we
167
611000
2000
我們小時候會一起跳舞，
10:25
were kids. Little did I think our children
168
613000
3000
我沒想到我們的小孩
10:28
would be playing instruments, you know,
169
616000
2000
都會演奏樂器，
10:30
playing music, yeah."
170
618000
2000
玩音樂。」
10:32
Twelve years, er, 20 years later little did she think
171
620000
3000
她當時也沒想到的是20年後
10:35
her kids would be getting married,
172
623000
2000
她們的小孩會結婚。
10:37
but anyway, so, then I got
173
625000
3000
於是，七年後，
10:40
a phone call about, I dunno,
174
628000
3000
我當時19歲，
10:43
seven years later. I was 19,
175
631000
2000
就讀大一或大二，
10:45
first or second year of college,
176
633000
2000
我接到一通電話，
10:47
and it was Donnell, and
177
635000
3000
是Donnell打來的，
10:50
he said "Hi, you probably don't know me
178
638000
3000
他說：「你好，你可能不知道我是誰，
10:53
but my name is Donnell Leahy."
179
641000
2000
我叫作Donnell Leahy。」
10:55
And I said, "I know you.
180
643000
2000
我說：「我認識你，
10:57
I have a tape of yours at home."
181
645000
2000
我家裡有一卷你的錄影帶。」
10:59
And he said, "Well, I'm in Truro,"
182
647000
2000
於是他說：「我現在在特魯羅。」
11:01
which is where I was,
183
649000
3000
也就是我當時所在的地方，
11:04
and he asked me out for supper.
184
652000
3000
他約我一起吃晚餐。
11:07
That's it. (Laughter)
185
655000
2000
就是這樣。(笑聲)
11:09
(Applause)
186
657000
3000
(掌聲)
11:12
Then — Will I keep going? (Laughs)
187
660000
3000
嗯 ─ 我該繼續講嗎？(笑聲)
11:15
(Laughter)
188
663000
2000
(笑聲)
11:17
Then we dated for two years,
189
665000
2000
然後我們約會了兩年，
11:19
broke up for 10, got back together
190
667000
3000
分開了十年，之後又復合，
11:22
and got married. (Laughter) (Applause)
191
670000
3000
然後結婚。(笑聲)(掌聲)
11:25
DL: So anyway, we're running out of time,
192
673000
3000
好了，時間要不夠了，
11:28
so I'll just get to it.
193
676000
3000
我得直接切入重點。
11:31
I'm going to play a piece of music for you.
194
679000
3000
我將為你們演奏一首樂曲。
11:34
It's actually a Scottish piece I've chosen.
195
682000
3000
這是我選的一首蘇格蘭樂曲，
11:37
I starts out with a slow air.
196
685000
2000
我用詠嘆調(slow air)開頭。
11:39
Airs were played in Europe
197
687000
3000
在歐洲的葬禮中，
11:42
at burials, as a body was carried out
198
690000
2000
當大體從守靈處被抬到埋葬處時，
11:44
from the wake site to the burial site,
199
692000
2000
樂手會吹奏詠嘆調，
11:46
the procession was led by a piper
200
694000
2000
葬禮隊伍由吹笛手
11:48
or a fiddle player.
201
696000
2000
或者小提琴手領隊前進。
11:50
I'll quickly play a short part of the air,
202
698000
3000
我將很快地演奏一小部份的詠嘆調，
11:53
and then I'm going to get into
203
701000
2000
然後銜接一種有點瘋狂的曲調，
11:55
kind of a crazy tune that is very difficult
204
703000
2000
當你熱身不夠的時候，
11:57
to play when you're not warmed up,
205
705000
2000
這是非常難演奏的。
11:59
so, if I mess it up, pretend you like it
206
707000
2000
所以，如果我搞砸了，假裝你喜歡它吧。
12:01
anyway. It's called The Banks.
207
709000
3000
這首樂曲稱為河岸。
12:07
(Tuning)
208
715000
14000
(調音)
12:23
(Laughter)
209
731000
2000
(笑聲)
12:25
(Music)
210
733000
13000
(音樂)
16:31
(Applause)
211

25000
(掌聲)
16:56
NM: Well, we're gonna play one
212
1004000
2000
好了，我們將合奏一首樂曲。
16:58
together now. (Applause)
213
1006000
2000
(掌聲)
17:00
We're laughing, like, because
214
1008000
3000
我們笑的原因是
17:03
our styles are totally different,
215
1011000
2000
如同你聽到一般，
17:05
as you can hear.
216
1013000
3000
我們的音樂風格大不同。
17:08
And so, you know, Donnell and I
217
1016000
3000
所以，你們知道，Donnell和我
17:11
are actually in the process of
218
1019000
2000
正一起在創作一些
17:13
writing new pieces of music together
219
1021000
2000
我們倆可以一同演奏的
17:15
that we can play,
220
1023000
2000
樂曲，
17:17
but we don't have any of those ready.
221
1025000
2000
但我們手邊沒有任何完成的作品。
17:19
We just started yesterday. (Laughter)
222
1027000
3000
我們昨天才剛開始準備。(笑聲)
17:22
So we're gonna play something together anyway.
223
1030000
2000
不論如何，我們現在要一起演奏。
17:24
DL: With one minute.
224
1032000
2000
只有一分鐘。
17:26
NM: With one minute.

17:30
DL: You start. NM: No, you have to start,
227
1038000
2000
Donnell：你先開始。Natalie：不，你得先開始。
17:32
because you've got to do your thing.
228
1040000
2000
你得先演奏你的部分。
17:34
(Music)
229
1042000

17:56
NM: I feel like I'm in the duck or
232
1064000
2000
我覺得我現在像是在
17:58
the bird pose right now. (Laughter)
233
1066000
3000
擺鴨子或者小鳥的姿勢。(笑聲)
18:09

1229000
2000

21:49
DL: We're going to play a tune
257
1297000
2000
我們將演奏一首曲子，
21:51
and Natalie's going to accompany me on the piano.
258
1299000
2000
Natalie要用鋼琴伴奏。
21:53
The Cape Breton piano playing
259
1301000
2000
布雷頓角島的鋼琴演奏
21:55
is just awesome. It's very rhythmic
260
1303000
3000
很精彩，很有節奏性，
21:58
and, you'll see it.
261
1306000
2000
你馬上就能見到。
22:00
My mom plays piano, and she learned
262
1308000
3000
我媽會彈鋼琴，她在布雷頓角島的家裡
22:03
to play before they had a piano at home
263
1311000
2000
還沒有鋼琴的時候，就開始學習彈琴。
22:05
in Cape Breton. Before Mom's family had
264
1313000
2000
當家裡還沒有鋼琴時，
22:07
a piano in Cape Breton, she learned to play
265
1315000
2000
她在一個板子上
22:09
the rhythms on a piece of board,
266
1317000
3000
學習如何彈奏節奏，
22:12
and the fiddlers would all congregate
267
1320000
2000
在寒冬的傍晚，
22:14
to play on the cold winter's evenings
268
1322000
2000
小提琴手會聚集在一起演奏，
22:16
and Mom would be banging on this board,
269
1324000
3000
我媽則會敲打這片板子，
22:19
so when they bought a piano,
270
1327000
2000
於是當他們買了一架鋼琴時，
22:21
they bought it in Toronto and had it taken
271
1329000
2000
他們在多倫多買這台鋼琴，
22:23
by train and brought in on a horse,
272
1331000
3000
透過火車運輸再用一批馬送到家裡，
22:26
a horse and sleigh to the house.
273
1334000
3000
實際上是一匹馬和一個雪橇送到家裡來。
22:29
It became the only piano in the region,
274
1337000
2000
在當時，這是那區裡面唯一一架鋼琴，
22:31
and Mom said she could basically play
275
1339000
2000
我媽說當鋼琴被送來時，
22:33
as soon as the piano arrived,
276
1341000
3000
基本上她就會彈琴了，
22:36
she could play it because she had learned
277
1344000
2000
因為她早已經學會全部這些節奏了。
22:38
all these rhythms. Anyway, we found
278
1346000
2000
於是，去年時，
22:40
the piano last year and were able to
279
1348000
2000
我們找到這架鋼琴而且把它帶回家。
22:42
bring it back home. We purchased it.
280
1350000
2000
我們將它買下，
22:44
It had gone through, like,
281
1352000
2000
它似乎已經流轉過
22:46
five or six families,
282
1354000
2000
五或六個家庭了，
22:48
and it was just a big thing for us,
283
1356000
2000
這對我們意義重大。
22:50
and we found actually an old picture
284
1358000
3000
而且我們還真找到一張舊照片，
22:53
of somebody and their family years ago.
285
1361000
3000
照面裡是多年前的某個人和他的家人們。
22:56
Anyway, I'm blabbering on here.
286
1364000
2000
好了，我在亂扯一通。
22:58
NM: No, I want you to tell them about Leahy.
287
1366000
2000
你沒有啦，我想要你告訴大家一些有關你們家的事。
23:00
DL: What about Leahy? (Laughter)
288
1368000
3000
什麼關於我們家的事？(笑聲)
23:03
NM: Just tell them what—
289
1371000
3000
就告訴大家有關─
23:06
DL: She wants me to talk about—
290
1374000
2000
她要我說些有關─
23:08
We have a band named Leahy.
291
1376000
2000
我們家有個樂隊叫做Leahy。
23:10
There's 11 siblings. We, um—
292
1378000
2000
團員有11個兄弟姊妹。我們─
23:12
What will I tell them? (Laughter)
293
1380000
2000
我該跟大家說什麼？(笑聲)
23:14
We opened—
294
1382000
3000
我們替─
23:17
NM: No surgeries.
295
1385000
2000
不要講到手術。
23:19
DL: No surgeries, oh yeah.
296
1387000
2000
不要提手術，好的。
23:21
We had a great opportunity.
297
1389000
2000
我們有過很棒的機會。
23:23
We opened for Shania Twain for two years on her international tour.
298
1391000
2000
我們曾擔任Shania Twain兩年的國際巡迴演唱會開場嘉賓。
23:25
It was a big thing for us, and now
299
1393000
2000
這對我們來說意義重大，
23:27
all my sisters are off having babies
300
1395000
2000
現在我的姊妹們都暫時離開去生小孩，
23:29
and the boys are all getting married, so we're
301
1397000
2000
兄弟們都在結婚，
23:31
staying close to home for, I guess,
302
1399000
2000
所以我們目前以家庭為重，
23:33
another couple of weeks.
303
1401000
2000
我想這情況會持續幾周。
23:35
What can I say? I don't know what to say,
304
1403000
2000
我還能說什麼？我不知道該說什麼。
23:37
Natalie. We, uh... (Laughter)
305
1405000
4000
我們...(笑聲)
23:44
(Laughter)
306
1412000
3000
(笑聲)
23:48
NM: Is this what marriage is about?
307
1416000
2000
這就是婚姻嗎？
23:50
(Applause)
308
1418000
3000
(掌聲)
23:53
I like it. (Applause)
309
1421000
3000
我喜歡。(掌聲)
23:59
(Laughter)
310
1427000
2000
(笑聲)
24:01
DL: Oh yeah, okay,
311
1429000
2000
我想到了，
24:03
in my family we had seven girls, four boys,
312
1431000
3000
我們家有七個女生，四個男生，
24:06
we had two fiddles and one piano,
313
1434000
2000
只有兩把小提琴和一架鋼琴，
24:08
and of course we were all fighting to play
314
1436000
2000
所以我們都吵著要玩樂器。
24:10
on the instruments, so dad and mom
315
1438000
3000
於是我爸媽訂下規則，
24:13
set a rule that you couldn't kick anyone
316
1441000
2000
不能跟任何人搶樂器。
24:15
off the instrument. You had to wait
317
1443000
2000
你只能等，
24:17
until they were finished, so of course,
318
1445000
2000
等到他們結束，所以，
24:19
what we would do is we'd get on the piano
319
1447000
2000
當我們一坐在鋼琴前時，
24:21
and you wouldn't even get off to eat,
320
1449000
2000
你根本不會起身去吃東西，
24:23
because you wouldn't want to give it up
321
1451000
2000
因為你不想要把機會
24:25
to your brother or sister, and they'd wait
322
1453000
2000

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).
