王嘉尔新专辑回忆录

Jackson Wang Reflects On His 'Journey To The West'

Hi guys. I'm Jackson. I'm from China. What's good?

大家好，我是来自中国的王嘉尔。

On how he was discovered, going solo from Got7, and his new album ‘Journey To The West’

他是怎么被发现的？一个人单飞出歌，以及他的新专辑“Journey To The West”

There are like crazy vocalists and there are crazy dancers. I was an athlete. I grew up in this sport family, my dad as an Olympian fencer, my mom’s a world champion gymnast, my brother’s a rugby player. I was preparing for London Olympic Games. I got this scholarship from this great university in America. And during the athlete days, I was very motivated by music.

有很多疯狂的歌手和舞者。我是名运动员，我从小出生在一个运动家庭。我爸是名奥林匹克击剑运动员，我妈妈是世界体操冠军，我哥是名橄榄球运动员。我之前在准备伦敦奥林匹克运动会，我从美国一所特别好的大学那拿到了奖学金。在我的运动生涯中，音乐给了我很大的鼓励。

You know, I got introduced to music through GarageBand (苹果自带app库乐队) like making my own songs. It sounded like a shit. But one day I just sit down with my dad and I was like I wanna be a singer; I wanna be a performer; I wanna be an entertainer. You know, to do music which I believe in. He thought I was kidding. He didn’t take it seriously at first until the entertainment company actually came to my school.

我通过GarageBand了解到音乐，像是如何去写歌等。虽然我当时的歌写的不是特别好听，但有一天我非常认真的找我爸谈我想当一名歌手，我想当一名表演家，一名艺人，去表演我喜欢的音乐。他当时认为我是在开玩笑，并没有太放在心上，直到娱乐公司来到我学校。

When they’re based at like different countries, they actually came to school to cast people. They saw me playing basketball and they just, “Hey, come here.” I’m like I didn’t know what was going on. It’s like, “Do you want to be a singer?” “Do you want to be anything, like an entertainer.” So I just went to the audition and I passed. So I told my parents I got accepted. I believe in it if I don’t do it I’m gonna regret.

当时他们在很多国家都有选秀，他们来到我的学校挖掘新人。当时他们看到我在打篮球， 然后他们跟我说“过来一下”。我并不知道发生了什么。他们问我想不想当个歌手或艺人？所以我去了选秀并且顺利通过了。我告诉父母我通过了，我相信如果我不去的话我会后悔的。

And I went to Korea… been through all these like training systems. They say like Korean entertainment system is kinda like manufactured. It’s like machines. To me it’s the best training system you’ll ever have in your life. Of course, it’s tough. It’s under a lot pressure. It’s like no mercy every single day.

然后我就去了韩国，通过了所有的训练系统。他们认为韩国娱乐就好像系统化生产，像机器一样。对我来说那将会是你这辈子经历过的最好的培训系统。当然这非常困难，会有很大的压力，没有人会每天怜悯你。

But at the end of the day, it’s because of the pressure and stress that’s in the process. That makes you even stronger. If you pass, you stay. If you fail, you get sent home. It made me. I’m very blessed. I’m very lucky to go through that.

但到最后，因为这些来自练习的压力会使你变得更加强大。如果你通过了，你就可以留下来。如果失败了，就得回家。这样才成就了我，所以我非常感激同时也感到非常幸运有这段经历。
