The Taiwanese five-piece -- dubbed the "Asian Beatles" by the music press -- packed the Hong Kong Coliseum with 10,000 screaming fans for their near consecutive ten night run. 香港 (CNN) 很少有摇滚乐团能在一个城市, 一个月内, 完售十场演出, 但对华语摇滚乐 团「五月天」来说却是家常便饭。被娱乐媒体称为"亚洲披头四"的台湾摇滚乐团, 在香港 红勘几乎是连续10晚的演出, 挤满了十万名尖叫着的粉丝。 "We've known them half our lives," said Crystal Wu, 26, who traveled with three friends from mainland China for the show, to see the band for the sixth time, after previously catching them at sold out London and Los Angeles shows. "We relate to their spirit," she added. 26岁的Crystal Wu说「我们知道他们(五月天)半辈子了。」她和来自中国大陆的三位朋友 一起(因五月天演唱会)旅行。之前参与了伦敦和洛杉矶完售场後, 这是他们第六次参加五 月天演唱会 。她补充说 「他们的精神引起我们的共鸣。」 Each year, since 2007, Mayday -- who have just celebrated their 20th anniversary -- have played a series of shows in Hong Kong in May, adding more and more shows each year, hoping to take over the whole month. 刚庆祝完他们20周年, 五月天自2007年後,每年五月都在香港有一连串的表演, 而且一年 比一年多, 期待能持续一整个月 。 This year, the band's Hong Kong dates are followed by shows in mainland China in July and August, Malaysia in October, North America -- including dates in San Jose, New York and Toronto -- in November and Singapore in December. 今年五月天在香港表演完後, 接着是七月八月到中国大陆, 十月在马来西亚, 十一月在北 美 - 包括圣荷西, 纽约, 多伦多, 接着十二月在新加坡。 Live shows In recent years, their Hong Kong dates have become famed as marathons of music, with each show typically lasting upwards of three and a half hours with multiple encores, costume changes and lasers. This year, between songs, they broadcasted mini-movies, caricaturing each band member as a superhero fighting a monster. 现场演出 近年来,他们香港演出场次成为着名的音乐马拉松, 每场都接近3.5小时再加上数次安可, 更换服装, 和雷射(灯效) 。今年, 在歌与歌之间, 他们放映微电影, 将每位团员漫画化, 变成对战怪物的英雄。 During most of the songs, fans stood up, frantically waving blue wands. 大部分的歌, 歌迷都会站起来, 尽情地挥舞着蓝色萤光棒。 The night before the last show, Taiwanese actor Richie Jen and Hong Kong singer Edmond Leung were in the audience and joined Mayday onstage. 在倒数第二场的演出, 台湾演员任贤齐和香港歌手梁汉文也是底下观众,并上台和五月天 一起演出。 Live shows act as the band's glue, said frontman Ashin, fusing them together: "Although each person has his own life and project, once we are onstage, we try our best." 主唱阿信说现场演出就像是乐团的黏胶, 将团员焊在一起:「虽然我们每个人都有自己的 人生和副业/计画, 一旦我们站上台, 我们就全力以赴」 Mayday primarily sings in Mandarin and Taiwanese, with some English sprinkled in. Songs are catchy and addictive, happy-go-lucky, pop-infused anthemic rock, akin to U2 or One Direction, And with titles like "Party Animal," "Cheers" and "Here, After Us," they project the innocence of a younger generation, with all its accompanying hope and heartbreak. 五月天主要唱中文和台语歌,也会有些许英文。(他们的) 歌曲都很动听, 容易记住, 令人 上瘾, 无忧无虑, 有流行乐元素, 激励人心般的摇滚乐, 有如 U2 或 One Direction。而 歌曲像是 "派对动物" "乾杯" 和 "後来的我们", 则投射着年轻一代的纯真, 充满了希望 与心碎。 (接下来这段我认为和本版没直接关系,所以略过翻译,有兴趣的板友可以点最上方连结去 看原文) Generations of audiences "Their lyrics are cheerful and realistic," said Henry Ho, a 20-year-old Hong Konger, who was introduced to Mayday by his girlfriend, Heidi Shek. The 19-year-old only had one word for why she liked Mayday -— "attractive." 不同世代的听众 因女朋友Heidi Shek而认识五月天的20岁香港人Henry Ho说「他们的歌词很开朗,也 很写实。」19岁的Heidi只有一个形容词来解释为什麽她喜欢五月天 — "有魅力" It is this relatability that continues to draw in a youthful fanbase -- a significant portion of which are almost half the band members' age -- 20 years into the band's career. 而正是这种引起共鸣的能力, 让五月天在历经20年音乐生涯, 还能继续吸引许多小他们一 半年纪的年轻粉丝。 "Young people bring their parents and parents bring their young kids," said Mayday's guitarist Stone, 41. "We cross generations" he added. 五月天41岁的吉他手石头说「年轻人会带着他们的父母, 父母也会带他们的小孩 (来听演 唱会)。」石头补充说「我们跨越了世代。」 Stone and his bandmates are in their 40s, but despite their grueling touring schedule, look much younger. Talking to CNN before their last show in Hong Kong, they were fresh-faced and earnest, even embarrassed about their "concert clothes," all black outfits with skinny black pants. They've played together since high school, through military service, solo projects, getting married and raising families. 石头和其他团员们都40多岁了, 但尽管巡演场次是这麽的累人, 他们看起来都比40岁年轻 许多。他们在香港尾场演出前夕接受CNN访问, 团员气色都很好,很真诚, 甚至对他们全黑 及紧身长裤的演出服感到有点不好意思。他们从中学就在一起玩音乐了, 历经兵役, 个人 作品, 结婚成家。 Five members, one stage "Since we have been together for so long, we know each other very well," said Tsai Shen-yen, known as "Masa." "We often just pay attention to one's virtue instead of their shortcomings." 五位团员, 一个舞台 蔡昇晏/玛莎说「因为我们在一起很久了, 所以我们非常了解彼此。我们经常注意对方的 长处过於缺点。」 Drummer Liu Yen-ming, nicknamed "Guan You," is the oldest at 43 and takes on the patient parental role. He has the best temperament, says Stone, so they all like making fun of him onstage. 43岁的鼓手刘谚明,小名"冠佑",是最年长的,担当有耐心的长辈角色。石头说冠佑脾气最 好,所以他们都会在台上捉弄他。 Stone, or Shi Chin-hang, is very thoughtful, said guitarist Masa, and pays attention to the details the rest overlook. 贝斯手*玛莎说石头/石锦航心思细腻,会注意到我们遗漏的细节 。 (*注:原文有笔误,写成吉他手玛莎) Bassist Masa is the most playful and energetic, said guitarist Wen Shang-yi, or "Monster." Monster, in turn, is very sentimental, said Masa. 吉他手温尚翊/怪兽说贝斯手玛莎是最活泼有趣, 精力充沛的。玛莎则说怪兽非常多愁善感。 Finally, frontman Ashin, is "the soul of the band," said Guan You. He's always working, figuring out how to improve the next show. 冠佑说主唱阿信是「乐团的灵魂人物。总是在工作, 想这如何让下次演出更好。」 At 41, Ashin, or Chen Shin-hung, is also the last single member of the band. The rest are married, but vow to "take care of him," said Guan You. 41岁的阿信/陈信宏是乐团里唯一单身的成员, 其他人都结婚了, 不过冠佑说他们都一定 会「好好照顾他。」 As for the future, they hope to last another 20 years. "We hardly believe we have been together for 20 years," said Masa. "We don't want break this relationship." 至於未来,他们希望能再走个20年。 玛莎说「很难相信我们已经在一起20年了, 我们不希望打破这段关系。」 ------------------------------------------------- 很开心今年分公司就会开到北美了,希望能顺利成为社员之一! #Mayday20th --
