原文出处： http://0rz.net/ec122 -- Q . Best concert you've ever seen? 问：你看过最棒的音乐会？ A . Barbra Streisand, back when she came here like in 1990-91. 答：'90-'91年B.Streisan来这里举办的音乐会。 Q . What made her so good? 问：是什麽使她表现出色？ A . It was fabulous. She only did six cities and was here for three nights. There was no detail unnoticed. 答：那简直难以置信，她只到6个城市巡回演出，但光在这就待了3晚，且巨细靡遗， 大大小小细节毫无遗漏。 She carpeted the floor of the arena, and nobody has ever done that before -- or since. She had an 80-piece orchestra, directed by Marvin Hamlisch. It was sound-studio perfect. Utter perfection. 她用地毯铺盖整个球场的地板，这根本是空前 -- 甚至绝後的壮举。她有一个由M. Hamlisch指挥，拥有80个成员的管弦乐团，那场听觉的飨宴只能用尽善尽美来形容。 Q . That's a lot of carpet to cover the floor of The Palace. 问：她用了多少地毯才足以覆盖整个宫殿球场的地板？ A . Yeah, the floor space is 100,000 square feet. The carpet was enormous. And we already have one of the best acoustical facilities because we have cloth seats. 答：是阿，球场的面积足足有10万平方公尺那麽大，她用的地毯量相当庞大。而我们 原本就拥有最棒的音乐会场地设施之一，因为我们有用布料覆盖的座椅。 You really don't need to cover the floor for good sound. Maybe it was psychological for her. I don't know. But the end result was magic. We don't recommend carpet for most concerts at The Palace, as vomit is hard to get out. 你真的不需要覆盖整个地板以追求更好的声音效果，也许那对她而言是心里作用成分 居多。我不知道，但结果的确很完美。我们不会建议往後在宫殿球场举办的音乐会都得舖 上地毯，这有点像在强人所难。 Q . Is there a group you'd like to see at The Palace? 问：你未来还希望在宫殿球场看到哪个团体的表演？ A . We've had everybody who is working come through here. But groups like the Doors, the Beatles, man I'd love to see them, but obviously that's not going to happen. 答：我们已经邀请过每一个声望如日中天的歌手(或团体)至此表演，不过像门户、披 头四，这几个每个人都热爱的合唱团，很明显地我们已经没办法亲眼目睹他们的演出了。 I guess I'd have to say Led Zeppelin -- they've not done anything for years. My 15-year-old son (Kevin) is into them now, so it would be a cool, cross-generational thing for us to enjoy. 我想我会说L.Zeppelin -- 他们已经好几年没演出了。我15岁的儿子(Kevin)现在也喜 欢上他们了，所以那对我们而言将会是一个很酷的，可以跨世代的共同欣赏的演出。 Q . Be honest -- can you actually enjoy a concert, or are you always worrying about business things? 问：老实讲 -- 你能完完全全投入去享受一场音乐盛宴，或你常会不自觉地担心起是 否能获利等实际面的问题？ A . I love concerts, but yes, at times I am on edge. The first night of Streisand, I was all over the place, checking the concession stands, the entrances for the metal (detector) checks. 答：我热爱音乐会，不过的确，有时候我会紧张、不安。Streisand音乐会的第一个晚 上，我走遍整个场地，一下子检查摊贩的营业情形，一下子到门口关心金属探测器的使用 情形。 But the second night, I sat back and enjoyed it. 不过第二晚，我就坐回座位，好好地享受音乐会了。 I didn't even realize how good it was the first night. I am the luckiest guy in the world. 我甚至不了解第一晚有多麽美好，我是全世界最幸运的人。 Four years ago, when Paul McCartney was here, I sat like 30 feet away, on the side stage, on some equipment box and just watched him. How can life get any better than that? 4年前当P.McCartney来这里演出时，我坐在大概30尺远，舞台边边的器材箱上看着他 的表演，人生至此，夫复何求？ Q . Before you got into business, you were an actor. Any good roles? 问：你进入商业界前是个演员，有演过什麽好脚色吗？ A . No, I had a lot of crappy parts, but it was the near misses that were more fun. I was in the original "Brian's Song" movie, and I got to play football and hang out with James Caan. 答：没，我大部分都演跑龙套的小脚色，不过还好还蛮有趣的。我在一开始"Brian's Song'的电影演出过，打过橄榄球，也跟J.Caan(演员)一起混过。 That was great. I also got to hang out with Howard Cosell for a day when he shot "Nanny and the Professor." 那真的很棒，H.Cosell(体育知名主播)在拍"Nanny and the Professor"时，我也和他 相处过一天。 What changed my life was a small role on a "Barnaby Jones" episode. I played a pro basketball player who was throwing a game. We shot it at the Forum in L.A., and after the week was over, I got a job with the Lakers. 改变我一生的是在"Barnaby Jones"那部戏里的一个小脚色，我饰演一个输掉球赛的职 业篮球员。我们在洛杉矶的球馆拍摄那部片子，一周後，我在湖人队获得一份工作。 Q . Favorite comfort food? 问：最爱的休闲食品？ A . Popcorn. I have it five, six times a week. And yes, with butter. 答：爆米花，我一个礼拜吃他个5、6次，噢，对了，要奶油口味的。 Q . Are you good with plants? 问：你喜欢植物吗？ A . I love nature. We have a couple of acres at our house. And I love to just go outside and enjoy being out there, putz around. We have 350 events a year here, so when I get a chance to spend some time relaxing, that's where I go. 答：我热爱大自然。我们家种有很多植物，而且我也喜欢往外跑，享受在外闲晃的感 觉。我们一年在这有350件事要处理，所以一旦我有时间可以放松，那就是我热爱的休闲活 动。 --
