歌词
Before I go and buy the album ,I download the available MP3 stuff in the internet .
我买专辑之前，会在网上下载可用的MP3
I check the other songs just to make sure that there is more than just the two singles that have been released .
我得看看是不是只有先前放出的两首单曲
And if the entire CD sounds like something I'd be interested in then I go out and purchase the CD
如果这张专辑听着有点东西我也有兴趣的话，我才去买CD
In fact ,not wanting web surfer to find a bunch of the American parks when they were looking for the band online .
事实上，为了不让网友们网上找乐队的时候搜出来一堆美国公园
The guys decide to change the spelling of the band's name .
小伙子们决定改一下乐队名的拼写
With that the familiar Linkin Park spelling was created ,and the all important.com was created
乐队熟悉的拼法已经成型，而重要的网站也创建完成了
Oh yeah I think definitely the internet thing is um it hasn't been...it has not been overrated as far as what it's done for music .
哦是的，我觉得看看网络对音乐的贡献，互联网的能力并没有被夸大
It's just you can you know you can um I can make a sound right now put an MP3 format and E-mail to max amount of people you know .
你懂得我可以立马写一段音乐把它做成MP3格式用电邮发给尽可能多的人
A those people would hear .All of those people might be the NARC people ,maybe they would trash it or whatever ,but that's not the point .
那些人可能会听，他们可能是缉毒警察，可能立马把它给删了啥的，但这不是重点
The point is if I wanted to I could do it and a lot of people are doing it .
重点是如果我想做我可以轻松完成，事实上很多人正在做这件事
Napster ,I mean ,there's been groups that are small and just getting off the ground back to independent record thing and they're not on the radio,
Napster，我的意思是，有很多团体都很小，但是他们不走寻常路，反而制作独立唱片而且不在电台播放
but they're on Napster .So people go to Napster and they can immediately download that song that builds up the hype .
反而选择Napster，所以人们去Napster下载歌曲，并创造了热度
A lot of different thing I see people on MP3.com that are earning money .
有很多不同的东西，我发现人们在MP3.COM上挣钱
I haven't got into all that .That's not really my thing .I'd rather sell the mix-tapes on the street make money that way .
但是我对这些不感兴趣，这些确实不是我的菜，我更愿意在街上摆摊卖磁带挣钱
But for the people who are into that ,hey you know I think that the internet definitely has changed the way people get their music out there.
但是对于那些喜欢这样的人们，你懂吗互联网确实改变了人们获取音乐的方式
I personally think that in theory ,yes ,it could be beneficial in application I don't know that it is.
我个人觉得理论上讲，确实，它很有用处，但是在应用方面就不敢苟同
The fact that or maybe 200,000 or 2,000,000 songs available on the internet for somebody to listen to doesn't mean
事实上网上可能有二十万、二百万首歌可供人们试听但并不意味着
that somebody is going to take the time to actually go through and listen to 30 seconds of each song .
人们就要花时间每首歌都听三十秒
So consequently with the internet it became more of a concept of preaching the converters that the artist that
所以网络只是一种新的媒介，将艺术家的作品进行转码
people are hearing on a radio and seeing videos on MTV and various other video programs ,
而这些作品是已经在电台MTV或是其他视频节目上早已出现且被大众接受的
those artists are getting most hits on the internet just because you can put a video .
这些艺人会获得最多的点击率。所以就算你把一段视频或是音乐放在网上
We're showing on the internet is not necessarily mean anybody going to listen to or review it and so in theory ,yes ,
并不意味着任何人肯定会去听或看，所以在理论上，确实，
the fact that you could access all of this information and this music is great and in application it doesn't seem to really have been that the factual yet .
事实上你能够获取所有这些信息和音乐这很不错，但是在实际应用上目前还没有那么大的功效
As the technology changes ,who knows what could happen in the future?
当然随着科技的发展，谁知道未来会发生什么呢？
Hip hop is part of American culture ,and some say that DJs are metals new heroes ,
嘻哈是美国文化的一部分，甚至有些人说DJ是金属乐的救星
following in the footsteps of bands such as Korn and Limp Bizkit ,Linkin Park incorporated DJ as well as MC into their lineup.
追随着诸如科恩、软饼干乐队的脚步，林肯公园也在成员中加入了DJ和MC
To me ,hip hop is taking over and it's taking over everything it's taking over fashion ,
我认为，嘻哈文化正在成为主流，任何领域都受到了它的影响，它接管了时尚
it's taking over speech ,so the rock will really can't escape it .They kind of have no choice ,you know what I'm saying ?
它改变了说话方式，所以摇滚说真的也无法逃脱。它们确实没有选择，你懂我意思吧？
And not every rock band or not every good rock band, but I'm going as far as listening to Metallica songs randomly
当然也不是所有摇滚乐队或是所有优秀的摇滚乐队，但是我能想到的就是有一次我随机地听金属乐队的歌
and hear like a pause I was like ,wait a second ,it sounds like a DJ stopping the record in the song started again
然后我听到了好像是一个停顿，我就想，等会，这听起来就像DJ在搓碟让歌曲重放
I mean ,that's Metallica they probably they might not have even acknowledged because the rest of the song didn't have wrapping or scratching
我的意思是这可是金属乐队啊，他们可能自己都没有意识到，因为这首歌其他地方并没有打碟刮唱片的音乐
or but to me it's just taking over ,so they have no choice and it's just that's the evolution of music to me.
但是就我而言嘻哈音乐正在统治一切，所以他们没得选，这与我而言就是音乐的演变
Because like rock used to be like more like a culture ,like almost kind of a movement in the 50s and 60s,
因为就像曾经的摇滚一样，它更像是一种文化，在五六十年代里更像是一种运动
and it's not anymore .Now it's just ,it's cool it's music ,but hip hop is like what rock used to be .
但是现在不是了，现在它只是很酷，只是音乐，但是嘻哈就像曾经的摇滚一样成为了一种文化
So just like rock influenced Jazz and Blues and took it to a certain level ,that's what hip hop is doing with the influence of the earlier rock .
所以就像摇滚影响了爵士乐和布鲁斯并将它们带到了特定的高度，跟早起的摇滚乐的影响一样，这也是嘻哈正在做的
Sure but you know I feel like the most successful rock bands have tune tables now because people just want hip hop
确实，但是你知道现在很多对成功的摇滚乐队都有调音台就是因为大家想听摇滚
I think the Hip hop influence on alternative music ,it does add a little bit more spice .
我觉得嘻哈影响了许多另类音乐，它确实让音乐更有味道
I personally like hardcore just you know ,I like the fact that when there is just guitars and stuff like that ,but Linkin Park ,
我个人更喜欢硬核的，你懂得，我喜欢一首歌只有吉他之类的，但是林肯公园
the fact that they do have a DJ with their music is absolutely excellent .
事实上他们的DJ和音乐真的毫无疑问无与伦比
So yeah I do think that have that hip hop influence does make it more interesting ,more exciting.
所以，是的，我真的觉得嘻哈文化的影响确实让它变得更有趣更刺激
It just depends on how open the band is ,really ,because you know a tune table you can do anything .
这只取决于乐队有多开放，真的，因为你知道一个调音台你可以做任何事情
You can make melodies with it I mean you can you could even make like a baseline like you can be the basis in a song .
你可以用它编曲，我的意思是你甚至能做一个基准线，你可以成为一首歌的基础
Bass player could stop playing . You could be the drummer for a song it depends on how open the band is
贝斯手甚至都不用来了，你还能做一首歌的鼓手，所以真的取决于乐队的开放程度
'cause I feel like sometimes a lot of rock bands that don't understand it .They feel like it's too loud in the mix .
因为我感觉有些音乐的理念很多乐队都没有搞懂。他们觉得把它（DJ）放进混音中太吵了
They may be hate on it a little bit .They feel like it's taken over their job .
他们可能会有点恨它，觉得抢了他们的饭碗
umm it's just like I said ,it depends on how much the band will appreciate what you're doing
emm所以我已经说了，这取决于乐队有多认可你做的贡献
and allow you to write music without being scared of you taking over basically .
并且允许你自己写歌而不怕被夺走主导权
I have a unique take on that whole issue because there was a facet of rap music that I am one of the pioneer of which is kind of the Chicago Sound ,
这方面我也有些独到的见解因为在说唱界里我曾经是芝加哥，中西部说唱或是什么你想说的称呼的先驱
Midwestern or whatever you want to call it in rap .Initially and the people around me all felt like these people are taking from me ,
一开始我老是觉得周围的人都在剽窃我的作品
these people are taking from me .And as I thought about it , I realized that they're not necessarily taken from me
这些人都在剽窃我的东西，但是我仔细想了一下，我意识到他们并不一定在剽窃
what they're doing is they are taking what I do and making it more acceptable to people who hadn't heard me ,or that I may not have been able to reach .
他们在做的事让我的作品更加容易让从没听说过我的人或是我没法涉及到的人接受
I don't really know Rock music was dead ,but it's just that because Hip hop has just a strong force in essence ,
我并不觉得摇滚乐已经死了，但是因为嘻哈音乐本身有极强的力量
once it is connected with anything else is just so much energy and so much life added to it where just makes whatever ,
一旦它与其他的任何事物混合在一起，它富有能量生命力极强，无论什么
whatever it was before that ,just look just that much smaller then , once rapped it's connected
无论这个事物之前有多渺小无力，只要加入说唱与其连接
and add all much more to it in the part two ,it just looks so much bigger .
然后会让它变得更加丰富，达到下个级别，让它更加高大
Critics and fans alike can't deny that Linkin Park's Joseph Hann is far from average metal DJ ,
评论家和歌迷们都一样无法拒绝只能认同林肯公园的约瑟夫韩在所以金属乐队的DJ里是个中翘楚
mix with MC talent of Mike and it's not hard to see how Linkin Park take the Hip Hop metal crossover up to the next level .
混合着mc麦克的才华，并不难发现林肯公园是如何带着嘻哈金属到达一个新的高度
You just can't ignore those big bad group .
你就是无法忽略这支大坏乐队
I think a lot . There's a lot of parts on the record that many people wouldn't even know are the DJ at that point.
我想了很多，这张唱片里有很大一部分大家都没有意识到是DJ在演奏
There 's a lot of sound effects that people don't necessarily associate with the DJ because it's not a scratch
它里面有很多的音效让人们没法与DJ联系在一起，因为它并不是普通的搓碟音效
or it's not a particular performance part ,it's just it's a nice sound effect .
或是它并不是一个特别的演奏部分，但它就是一个很棒的音效
It kind of sits and sits in the back in the mix , but has so much to the song .
它就是那种在混音中藏得很深很深的音效，但是对这首歌的作用极大
So yeah ,just that opposed to live performance kind of thing ,a lot of scratching ,that type of thing. .
所以没错，就是和现场表演很像的东西，有很多搓碟那样的效果
You may kick ass on stage ,but it's no good unless the band can jump around to it at home too .
你可能在现场表演很爆炸，但是让大家能在家也能甩头才是真本事
The guys has put six tracks CD out when they were called Hybrid Theory to get the ball rolling .
当他们还叫混合理论的时候成员们曾经放出过有六首歌的CD，来让一切运转起来
But this only had limited release .What they really wanted was a full out album .
但是这张专辑体量有限，他们真正想要的事是发行一张完整专辑
With Warner Bros paying the bill ,the guys found themselves at NRG studio .
有华纳兄弟出钱，他们来到了NRG工作室
It was here that the guys pulled out all those songs they've hidden over the years.
就是在这里他们一口气制作出了这些年藏着的所有歌曲
umm, basically the first day of the session is a set up day ,everybody comes in ,you know they set up the instrument how they feel most comfortable ,
emm基本上第一天的议程就是安置日，所有人进进出出，你知道他们找个最舒服的位置放好乐器
the engineer spend the day basically get the sound There is not a lot of performing recording goes on in the first day .
工程师花了一天时间调试好声音，在第一天并没有多少录音工作
Be a bunch of people spend 6 to 8 weeks here just kind like moving in to a kind of join a college through a first day
很多人围在一起要共度六到八周有点像第一天上大学的感觉
just getting settled in and kind of you know make myself feel at home and then other days spend here getting a lot of sound .
就把一切都安置下来你懂吗就让自己感觉在家里一样，然后剩下的几天就开始鼓捣音乐
Do the basic set up process and then from there the ****the recording process generally starts with drums .
然后做一些基础的安置过程然后，哈哈哈录音过程基本上是从鼓开始录（这句大麦笑了没听懂编的）
Generally the first thing that's get recorded and everything just build on top of that .
基本上把鼓录好，其他的东西就以它为基础开始录制
Generally when the drums are recorded ,everybody playing along .Everybody else in the insurance are just considered scratch tracks ,
基本上当鼓录完后，大家再分开演奏录制，其他在收音室的人就开始琢磨打碟的音轨
which may or may not get used in the final product ,generally not .
最后的成品用上用不上还不好说，一般用不上
And then after that ,that's really the only time the band full band plays together ,
这些都做完之后，才是我们唯一一次整个乐队一起演奏的时候
after that everybody is recording their part individually .Overdubbing process is called .
在这之后我们每个人都会单个录制我们自己的部分，这就叫做加录过程
