Sound Bite 金句
1. At that time I couldn't understand why this wave of harsh criticism had hit me so hard. I believe a popular headline back then was, a Swift Backlash, which is clever, you gotta give it to 'em.
And now I realize that this is just what happens to a woman in music if she achieve a success or power beyond people's comfort level.
那时我不知道为什么这样铺天盖地严酷的批评对我的打击如此之大，我记得很流行的新闻标题写“a Swift Backlash”（极度反对 Swift 获奖），很聪明诶，一语双关。
现在我意识到这就是在音乐行业的女性取得极大成功后人们舒适圈被打破时所会发生的事情。
2. I decided I would be what they said I couldn't be.
（不给中文翻译了，这里只有英文原文才对味儿）
3. I've learned that the difference between those who can continue to create in that climate usually come down to this. Who lets that scrutiny break them and who just keeps making art.
但我现在学到了在这种情况下还能继续创作的人的不同之处，通常是这种情况，被这种审视击垮的人，还有无视这些继续创作的艺人。
4. She(Lana Del Rey) was ruthlessly criticized in her early career and then slowly but surely she turned into, in my opinion, the most influential artist in pop. Her vocal styling, her lyrics, her aesthetic, they've been echoed and repurposed in every corner of music, and this year her incredible album is nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys because she just kept making arts.
她在早期职业生涯中也被严苛地批评过，但是在我看来她逐渐毋庸置疑地成为了一个流行歌曲界最有影响力的艺术家。她的歌词风格，她的情感表达，她的审美观念，在音乐界的每一个角落被呼应，被重新审视，然后今年她不可思议的新专辑在格莱美获得了年度专辑的提名，这一切都是因为她一直都在不断地创作。
5. The only way forward is forward motion.
（不给中文翻译了，这里只有英文原文才对味儿）
6. Woman in music, onstage or behind the scenes, are not allowed to coast. We are held at a higher, sometimes impossible-feeling standard. And it seems that my fellow female artist have taken this challenge and they have accepted it. It seems like the pressure that could have crushed us, made us into diamonds instead. And what didn't kill us actually did make us stronger.
音乐产业的女性，无论是台前还是幕后，做事是都不能得过且过的，我们被认为是站在一个更高或者更不可能的标准之上的，而且好像我的女性艺人伙伴们已经接受了这个挑战，好像压力有时候会把我们压垮，却把我们变得像钻石一样坚不可摧，那些杀不死我们的确乎会让我们变得更强大。
