Singing Star takes a breather - ST 2Sep1984 [复制链接]

Straits Times 2 Sep 1984 - Part 1：［'A room of many moods', reads the sign outside the Hilton Hotel's music room. Inside sat Taiwanese pop star Liu, and it wasn't difficult to tell which mood he was in that afternoon. The singer was retrospective（我纠正报导的英文，应该是introspective), almost philosophical. The spotlight was on his career. "I am really tired, too tired. I have been singing too much. .....(Contd) 9Uekvs=r=M

The StraitsTimes 2 Sept 1984 - Part2 -"I feel I'm at saturation point. I've got to get away for a spell and think things over. What I need is a change." He's all geared up for a change. Right after his stint until 7 Sept, he will leave for LA to begin a year-long holiday - far, far away from recording studios, nightclubs and concert halls. And when he returns, fans should see a revitalized Liu - at least where his singing style is concerned. Rather than sing uptempo New Wave songs, the 30-year old superstar hopes to return to his old style, singing more mature sentimental numbers. New Wave songs don't last. It is the slow sentimental numbers that become evergreen. Anyway, sentimental songs have been my favorite all long. There will be less jumping and prancing onstage, he added. :vQrOn18p

The ST 2 Sept 1984 - Part3 - "I've been working non-stop for the past 8 years without a proper holiday. I think it's time I put some effort into the property business I share with my brother in the US. I don't know how much longer I'm going to continue singing, though. I can't say I'll stop in 2 years' time. It all depends. But my fans are also an important consideration - I feel an obligation towards them. I would like to produce records and do some behind-the-scenes studio work.....To be contd U@)eTHv}6

Part 4 - Weary as the man sounded, he certainly didn't look it. Dressed in a black sleeve-less T-shirt, khaki pants and boots, WenZheng looked like he'd just popped out from one of his innumerable pinup posters - forever the suave teen idol. But it's evident that he's mellowed with the career that has seen him through 30 albums and just as many films. Not to mention countless live performances all over HongKong, Taiwan and South East Asia. $AjHbU.I{

Part 5 - At the end of each year, I ask myself what I've done with my life. Then wish I could have accounted for it better than with a list of just albums and concerts. Honestly, I feel I should be thinking of doing something else with my life, my private life...(Was there a hint of marriage for one of showbiz's most eligible bachelor? He sat back in his chair, paused.  ..Well...yes, she's complained. I really should be thinking about marriage. It's just that I don't feel ready for the commitment." 6@F9G4<Z

谢谢 llyy；［紫莲］；［余音绕梁］；［三月的秘密］和［漫步的礼物］的回应。你们如此热心地欢迎我，我也感动！抱歉不能一一地回复你们。

珍贵的资料，感谢dorshii辛苦输入文字。 p{Yv3dNl  
看到当时文正哥有结婚对象且有结婚的打算，要好好安排私人生活呢。

  再來回覆一次，文正哥應是有計畫的規劃人生，畢竟演藝圈終究會令人 感到疲憊的。。。 g/4

                         thanks a lot.  辛苦了 dorshii

dorshii的英文资料，以前没看过，谢谢你！

感谢dorshii 的分享，实在不好意思，不怎么看的懂，跑锅来翻译下吧。

看来承诺仍然是件很慎重的事。虽然考虑结婚可是面对责任让他望而却步。只要文正快乐，我们就幸福。不必非要世俗，结婚未必幸福不结婚未必不幸福。但是我还是希望有人深爱他，照顾他晚年一定要快乐，幸福，不要让我们担心。 P+sW[:  
不完全看的懂，希望有人翻译。这是文正亲笔？还是别人翻译到国外的？

卡其色的裤子哈哈。我喜欢。无一例外的夸他帅。偷笑。文正觉得累了，他需要一些改变。好像是不能总跟着潮流走，要唱着慢歌吧。他经营房地产，退出不退出根据情况而定，为了歌迷，他会做些幕后工作。其实他做幕后，也是对歌坛的一种不舍吧。记得他曾经说过的。

Part 1:希爾頓旅館內的音樂廳外頭寫著: 有著很多心情的房間(直接翻譯). 裡面坐著台灣巨星"劉", 從他臉上並不難察覺他那個下午的心情是如何的. 這個歌手(指的是哥哥) 在回憶 (糾正報導的英文, 應該是在 "反省"), 幾乎是有哲理性的. 焦點都在他的事業上, "我真的非常累了, 我已經唱了好多了".

Part 2: "我覺得我已經到了飽和點. 我得離開1段時間好好的想1想. 我需要的是改變. "  他(指的是哥)已經完全準備好了想要改變. 他目前這個演出是到9月7號, 7號以後就要去洛杉磯度假1年, 遠離錄音室, 夜總會, 演唱廳. >bW#Zs,6  
等他回來是, 粉絲會看到一個新的"劉"- 他的歌唱方式會不同. 除了唱動感新潮流的歌, 這位30歲的超級巨星還會用他以前的舊唱法- 也就是比較有感情的那種. 新潮流的歌曲不會永垂不朽. 只有富有感情的歌才會. 有感情的歌一直都是我最喜歡的. 會少很多在舞台上的跳躍和舞步.
