I first met Noel [Gallagher] in London in 1994. Definitely Maybe
was out but it hadn't gone crazy yet. He was going out with my
flatmate at the time, which made it all a bit difficult.
我第一次和诺尔的邂逅是在伦敦,一九九四。「绝对可能」已经面市
但一切还没那麽疯狂。当时他和我的楼友约会,让(情况)有一点困
难。
I remember Liam and Noel's squabbling and moodiness. The only
way to guarantee they would be happy was to get Peggy [their
mother] down.
我记得兄弟俩的争吵和喜怒无常。唯一保证他们会高兴的事就是让他
们的母亲佩姬失望。
The Oasis Knebworth concerts were very happy days for me. It was
the biggest gig of their lives and that morning Noel went missing.
Everyone was worried. He'd gone to a jeweller and bought me a
Cartier watch with the inscription 'Forever and a day'. I've kept
it for Anais.
那布沃斯演唱会对我是一段相当快乐的时光。那是他们这辈子最大的
演唱会而那个早上诺尔不见了。所有人都很担心。原来他跑去珠宝店
买了一支卡蒂亚手表给我,上面刻着“Forever and a
day”。我把它保留给了安奈斯。
People think I named my daughter after the perfume Anais Anais.
The perfume company even sent me a lifetime supply! But I named
her after the writer Anais Nin. She had an amazing time in Paris
in the Twenties - hanging out with Hemingway, smoking opium,
orgies, drink...
大家都以为我以香水品牌“Anais Anais”命名我女儿,
香水公司甚至给了我终身使用的资格!但我其实是以作家Anais
Nin命名的,她在二零年代的巴黎有一段令人吃惊的日子:和海明
威在一起,吸食鸦片,杂交,酗酒…
I thought 'Wonderwall' was about me. It was for a while. Then when
we got divorced he took it away. He said it wasn't about me. But
it's his song so he decides.
我认为「奇垣」是有关於我的─「曾经是」有一段时间。然後我们离
婚後他收回去了。他说这首歌跟我没有关系。但这是他写的歌所以他
可以决定。
I never got over my divorce. That's what I discovered in rehab. I
was trying so hard to be strong and say 'I'm fine' and it caught
up with me. It's still the longest relationship I've had.
我还没忘怀我的离婚。而这是我在治疗中发现的。我曾经努力试着坚
强些并说「我很好」但(离婚)还是对我有负面的影响。毕竟这是我
有过最长的关系。
Me and Noel are fine now. I couldn't see myself growing old with
him... not the happiest of people.
诺尔和我现在还不错。我不能想像和他一起成长…
(最後那句不太会翻了XD)
I've made mistakes but I'm still sitting here. Life is never
going to be perfect.
我曾经犯错但我仍然在这儿坐着。人生永远不会是完美的。
