文長注意!
之前小歐在脫口秀社團po了外國佛心大神脫口秀演員Gary Gulman,在twitter上連載的366個脫口秀小訣竅。
小妹就認領了靈感篇來翻譯。以下為22個小訣竅的中英文對照,若有翻的不盡理想的地方,請留言詳述,我會再看怎麼修改。原文和網誌版會放在留言處,方便大家查看。

靈感
Tip No. 41: You know those quirky little things you do and think? Collect them in a file or on paper. Even if you’re a storyteller, you can use these as details to add depth and distinction to your jokes.
你了解自己做或想的古怪小事嗎? 把他們記錄在紙上或檔案夾裡。即使你是講故事的人,也可以將這些內容作為細節,以增加笑話的深度和特色。
GARY'S FAVORITES

Tip No. 45: Don’t Hoard Jokes
Don’t worry about “burning” material on a special or album. Hoarding jokes may signal to your brain that you’re out of ideas. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” — Maya Angelou.
不要囤積笑話。不要怕在演出或專場用光自己累積的材料。囤積笑話會對你的大腦發出信號,暗示你已經沒有想法。如同Maya Angelou所說:”你無法耗盡創意。 你使用的越多,你擁有的就越多。”
Gary’s thoughts on Tip No. 45: This attitude has been crucial to an unprecedented streak of creativity over the last two years. I’ve written four hours of material, which is almost as much as I wrote in my first 23 years of comedy. Most important has been my health, this idea may be second.
Gary對此建議的想法: 在過去兩年中,這種態度對我的前所未有的創造力,有著至關重要的影響。我已經寫了四個小時的素材,這幾乎與我前23年的喜劇寫作一樣多。最重要的是我的健康,這個想法則排名第二位。
Tip No. 62: Look for inspiration everywhere. Paintings, music, poetry, rap, novels, nonfiction, short stories, theater, philosophy, etc. can all provide a spark for creativity. Cross-pollinate your work with broad influences and watch your creativity grow.
在各處尋找靈感。繪畫、音樂、詩歌、饒舌、小說、非小說、短篇故事、戲劇、哲學..等,都可以為創造力提供火花。以廣泛的影響力對你的工作進行異花授粉(原文:cross pollination,藉由風或昆蟲從別的花獲得繁衍的花粉),並觀察你的創造力增長。
Tip No. 63: Write it all down while the coffee is still telling you you’re mighty. Reread after you’ve turned back into Dr. Banner (yes he’s a genius, but not as self-confident in that condition). That buzz is so valuable but needs editing.
在咖啡發揮效果告訴你”你超棒”的時期,把所有想法寫下來。當你回復成原本的自我 (原文: Dr. Banner,也就是尚未變身成綠巨人浩克的班納博士,是個缺乏自信的天才)時,重讀一次剛才的寫作。思緒激昂(原文:buzz,也有微醺、很鏘的意思)很珍貴,但需要編輯。
GARY'S FAVORITES

Tip No. 90: After a Good Set, Brainstorm
You just had a great set. Instead of celebrating, use that hour or so after when the synapses are still firing and your confidence is soaring to voice record or write down the ideas that pop up during that especially fertile creative time.
如果你剛完成一場精采的表演,不用太早慶祝,要在大腦突觸仍在觸發、信心爆發、靈感特別豐腴的創作時間裡,把突然出現的想法錄音或寫下,再多花一個小時左右的時間繼續創作吧。
Gary’s thoughts on Tip No. 90: Huge help in making jokes that work longer and coming up with tangents and inspired ideas.
Gary對此建議的想法: 這建議在創作笑話的過程中提供巨大幫助,並提供變化和啟發性的想法。
Tip No. 92: Notice where you do your best thinking. The shower? Running? Listening to music? Not listening to music? Driving? Walking? Make sure to put yourself in the places where you’re doing your best thinking as frequently as possible.
你有注意過你在哪個’場景最能好好思考嗎。沐浴時?跑步時?聽音樂時?不聽音樂時?開車時?走路時?請盡量把自己放在最適合思考的場域。
Tip No. 132: I think you can limit frustration and discouragement by writing just a page on a new premise before trying it out onstage. See if there’s anything there before you spend a day on a new joke. But if you’re truly excited by the new idea, keep going!
我認為你可以在上台試笑話之前,先寫一頁的新前提,這可以限制你的挫敗感和沮喪感。在你花一整天開發新笑話之前,先研究前提是否可挖掘。但是,如果你真心對這個新點子感到興奮,那就放手去做吧!
Tip No. 143: Listen to strangers’ conversations. (I tell myself it’s not impolite if they’re being super-loud.) I got “How Dottie is that?” when a supercilious woman named Jodi bragged “How Jodi is that?” “So Jodi,” her friend replied.
偷聽陌生人的對談(我都告訴自己偷聽並不是沒禮貌的行徑,是他們講話太大聲了)。我有一次聽到一個名叫Jodi的膚淺女人吹噓"How Jodi is that?",她朋友回覆:"So Jodi",我因此想出了我的 “How Dottie is that?” 笑話。
Tip No. 157: Need new joke ideas? Be sensitive. If you’re uncomfortable with that word, use “irritable” (or grow up). A lot of good comedy comes from reaction to injustice or discomfort large and small, which requires being hypersensitive to those feelings.
需要新的笑話創意嗎?保持敏感。如果你對這個詞不滿意,請使用“煩躁”(或成長)。 許多優秀喜劇源自於對不平等或不適的大大小小的反應,產生這些感覺都需要保持敏感。
Tip No. 217: “All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.” — Federico Fellini. Purposefully mine your personal history for your act. Your life is a wellspring. Dig deep.
Federico Fellini說過:“所有藝術都是自傳。珍珠是牡蠣的自傳。”有目的得挖掘你的個人經歷,以作為你的演出。你的生活是靈感之源。請深入挖掘。
Tip No. 241: Many of your favorite writers include the same themes/subjects/objects/interests repeatedly in their work. Don’t be afraid to return again and again to your passions and obsessions to explore and expound.
你最愛的許多作家,都會在他們的作品裡重複探討相同的主題/目標/對象/興趣。不要害怕在你的熱情和沉迷之處,一次又一次得重複探索和闡述。
Tip No. 285: Explore unusual angles in a joke. Example: Examine things from the POV of a child or an Expert. My man Jimmy P and I still laugh over his “Martian response to high school football practice: Why are the hard-heads (players) taking orders from the small soft-heads (coach)?”
在笑話中探索不尋常的觀點。例如:從孩子或專家的視角觀看事物。我和我的兄弟Jimmy P仍會為他的笑話大笑:“火星人對高中足球訓練的反應:為什麼硬頭(球員)會從小型軟頭(教練)那裡得到命令?”
Tip No. 297: One of the miracles of comedy is that you can get redemption for suffering, small and large, by making something funny with it. When you are ready, try to write something funny about your mistakes, setbacks, or even tragedies.
喜劇的奇蹟之一是,藉由使事情變得有趣,你可以從大大小小的苦難中得到救贖。 當你準備就緒時,請嘗試寫一些有關你的錯誤、挫折甚至悲劇的有趣訊息。
Tip No. 298: Skim your life for the unusual events and activities that you can’t believe you were a part of or that people can’t believe you were a part of. Then write about it! Back row No. 93 MULLET:
No. 93後衛MULLET: “瀏覽你一生經歷過的、你或別人不敢相信你參與其中的奇特事件和活動。然後把它寫下來吧!“
Tip No. 310: When it comes to solving the puzzles that are our jokes, draw on every area of knowledge, expertise, and talent. It’s so gratifying to use a fact, a lesson, or a memory from elementary school, high school, or elsewhere to fill in the joke.
在解決我們玩笑的難關時,請利用各個領域的常識、專業知識和才能。用小學、高中或其他地方的事實、課業或回憶來充實笑話,會非常令人滿足。
Tip No. 311: Some of your best ideas will come to you in the shower. There’s science behind why it happens. Get a shower notepad if you have trouble remembering your ideas. Don’t listen to music. Listen to your thoughts. Ruminate on tonight’s set or a new joke.
洗澡時,你可能想到一些最好的點子。這現象的發生原因有科學依據。如果你難以記住自己的想法,請準備淋浴記事本。不要聽音樂。聽你的想法。用今晚的場景或一個新的笑話來反思。
Tip No. 313: Try teaching or informing the audience about something through some of your jokes. We love to learn while being entertained and vice versa. You have knowledge? Put it in your act! Just make sure it’s funny.
試試看通過講笑話來教導或告知聽眾新知識吧。我們喜歡在娛樂的同時學習,反之亦然。你有新知識嗎?把它放在你的演出!只要確保它很有趣就行。
Tip No. 327: Going home for Thanksgiving? Take copious notes! Your family is unique. Being reminded of the dynamics and adding new memories will be great resources for your act. “Family isn’t a word. It’s a sentence.”
逢年過節你會回家和家人團聚嗎?做大量筆記!你的家人是獨一無二的。記住動態場景並添加新的記憶,這會是你表演的寶貴資源。“家庭不是一個詞。 而是一個句子。”
Tip No. 331: There are great stories from our lives that we’re not able to translate into stand-up. Don’t throw them out. Collect those stories in a file for radio and TV and other interview situations.
我們生活中有許多很棒的故事,但我們無法將其轉化為脫口秀。可是不要把它們丟掉。要將這些故事收集在資料夾裡,以後在進行廣播和電視或採訪時可能用的到。
Tip No. 340: Volunteer! Especially if you don’t have a day job. There are so many opportunities to help. You will do good and have something new to write about. In NYC we have New York Cares. One year we decorated an elementary school for Halloween.
如果你沒有正職工作,當志工吧!你會有很多機會能幫助別人。你會做得很好,並有新的事情能寫。在紐約,我們設有紐約關懷中心。今年我們為萬聖節裝飾了一所小學。
Tip No. 358: I have recently started audio recording all notes sessions (for projects), and next time I pitch jokes with a friend I will record that too. It’s very helpful. You will be surprised at what you forgot when you listen back. Ask permission first.
我最近開始錄製所有筆記會話(用於專案)的錄音檔,並且下次我與朋友開玩笑時,我也會錄音。這非常有幫助。當你回聽時,你會驚訝於你忘記了什麼。但錄音前請先徵得許可。
Tip No. 360: Spending holidays with kids? Pay attention to them. Listen to them. Take note and embrace their curiosity and enthusiasm within your writing. (Also avoid the “kids these days” writing. It’s lazy.) Merry Christmas from your second favorite long-haired Jew.
和孩子一起度假嗎?注意觀察他們。聽他們說話。寫下你觀察到的東西並注意,並在寫作中懷抱孩子們的好奇心和熱情。(不要流水帳的寫“現在的小屁孩都如何如何”。這很懶。)你第二喜歡的長髮猶太叔叔在此祝你聖誕快樂(註,原作Gary是猶太人)。

self love is the best love意思 在 Winkie Lai 黎美言 Facebook 的最佳解答
永遠懷念
1. What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me.
人們在球場上看到的我是另一個我,那不是我本人。
2. One thing you gotta know about me is I have absolutely no filter. I have no problem saying what the hell I think of someone.
關於我,你必須要知道的是我非常直接。我從來不怕把我對某人最真實的想法全部說出來
3. The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
最重要的事就是去努力嘗試與激勵大家,使他們能夠在想做的事上大放異彩。
4. I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.
我專注於一件事,而且只有這件事 –那就是盡我所能地贏到越多冠軍。
5. I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. No matter what the injury – unless it’s completely debilitating – I’m going to be the same player I’ve always been. I’ll figure it out. I’ll make some tweaks, some changes, but I’m still coming.
我就在這,哪兒也不去,不管受了什麼傷 — 除非我完全衰弱 — 我還是會一直是像以前一樣的球員。我會看著辦,我會做出一些調整、一些改變,但我還是來了。
6. I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, “My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.” We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.
我會懷疑自己,我會缺乏安全感,我會恐懼失敗。我會在那幾個夜晚,在我喜歡的球場上現身時,想著「我的背很痛,我的腳受傷,我的膝蓋受傷。我沒有辦法了,我只想放鬆。」我們都曾自我懷疑,你不需要否認它,但你也不能夠向它屈服。你要做的是去擁抱它。
7. I’m playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition – that’s what I’ve always wanted.
我正在跟偉大的球員們打球,和世界上最好的球員們競爭。這比賽 — 就是我一直想要的。
8. I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don’t miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn’t that serious in the first place.
我打球曾經打到手斷、腳踝扭傷、肩膀脫臼、牙齒碎掉、嘴唇裂開、膝蓋腫成一個壘球大小。我不想因為腳趾受傷錯過15場比賽,因為大家都知道腳趾受傷並不嚴重。
9. The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don’t have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven’t had that fear.
領導這件事是一個敏感的話題。很多領導者失敗,因為他們沒有足夠的勇氣去打破現狀、振奮人心。在我的生涯中,我從沒有這種擔憂。
10. I can’t relate to lazy people. We don’t speak the same language. I don’t understand you. I don’t want to understand you.
我無法了解懶惰的人,因為我們說的是不同的語言。我不了解懶惰的人,我也不想去了解。
11. I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.
我不想當下一個麥可喬丹,我只想當科比布萊恩。
12. I’m chasing perfection.
我追求完美。
13. Can I jump over two or three guys like I used to? No. Am I as fast as I used to be? No, but I still have the fundamentals and smarts. That’s what enables me to still be a dominant player. As a kid growing up, I never skipped steps. I always worked on fundamentals because I know athleticism is fleeting.
我還能像以前一樣跳躍時跳過兩三個人嗎?不,我不行。我還能像我以前跑得一樣快嗎?不,我不行。但我還保有我的基本功跟打球的智慧,這也是讓我能一直成為主要球員的原因。成長過程中,我從來沒有跳過任何一個步驟,一直按部就班,因為我知道,運動員的生涯是短暫的。
14. I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.
我願意做任何能夠贏得比賽的事,即使只是坐在板凳上擰毛巾、遞茶水給隊員,或投出致勝一球。
15. Magic has five championships. I have five championships. I’m pretty sure we both know what we’re doing.
魔術強森有五個冠軍。我也有五個冠軍。我敢肯定,我們都知道我們在做什麼。
16. I draw from the crowd a lot.
我從人群學習、得到很多借鏡。
17. I love going one-on-one with someone. That’s what I do. I’ve never lost. It’s a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.
我喜歡和某個人一對一,那正是我擅長的,我從來沒輸過。這是一個截然不同的比賽,只是要讓他們走在你前面然後你就可以做任何你想做的事。
18. I’m extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that… it sounds, well, I don’t care how it sounds – to me, scoring comes easy. It’s not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.
我非常恣意的贏了,回應了那些挑戰。得分王之類的頭銜……它們聽起來好像,嗯,我不在乎它們聽起來怎樣 — 對我來說,得分並不難。贏得得分王的頭銜對我來說並不算是個挑戰,因為我知道我可以。
19. Everything negative — pressure, challenges — is all an opportunity for me to rise.
每件負面的事 – 壓力、挑戰 – 都是一個讓我提升的機會。
20. These young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.
當其他年輕人都在下西洋跳棋時,我已在下西洋象棋了。
21. My parents are my backbone. Still are. They’re the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.
我的父母是我的支柱,現在仍然如此。無論你得的分數是多少,他們都會支持你。
22. If you’re afraid to fail, then you’re probably going to fail.
如果你害怕失敗,那你很有可能會失敗。
23. The most important thing is you must put everybody on notice that you’re here and you are for real. I’m not a player that is just going to come and go. I’m not a player that is going to make an All-Star team one time, two times. I’m here to be an all-time great. Once I made that commitment and said, ‘I want to be one of the greatest ever’, then the game became everything for me.
最重要的是,你必須讓身邊每一個人知道你是玩真的。我不是一個只是在這裡來來去去的球員,我不是一個只會入選全明星賽一兩次而已的球員,我來這裡,是要成為一個能夠跨時代的偉大球星,一旦我做了承諾,說「我想成為有史以來最偉大的」,那麼這場比賽就成為了我的一切。
24. There’s a choice that we have to make as people, as individuals. If you want to be great at something, there’s a choice you have to make. We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make a choice. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be. There are sacrifices that come along with making that decision.
人生中有很多我們要選擇的事。如果你想精通某件事情,你必須做出一個選擇。我們都可以在我們的領域成為大師,但你必須做出選擇。我的意思是每一個我們的決定都會伴隨著犧牲。和家人相處、和朋友出去玩,身為一個好朋友,一個好兒子、侄子,依據情況而定。這些決定都會伴隨著其他事情的犧牲。
25. Are you willing to push the right buttons even if it means being perceived as the villain? … I’d rather be perceived as a winner than a good teammate. I wish they both went hand in hand all the time but that’s just not reality. … I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.
即使會被眾人當成惡棍,你還會做對的決定嗎?….我寧願被認為是一個贏家而非一個好隊友。我希望能同時兼顧兩者,但是這是不實際的…. 我和那些懶惰的人 ─ 那些只會將自己沒有成功的原因怪罪於他人的人─ 並沒有任何共同點。

這張照片是我。好啦我知道你們看得出來,但我的意思是,這是很我的我:在家,舒服的在沙發上,自在於自己真實的樣子。
This is a picture of me. Yes yes, I know you can tell. But I mean, this is a picture of ME Me: at home, comfortable on my own couch, comfortable in my own skin.
要總是喜歡自己不是太容易,但當我還是模特兒時期,我總是嘗試讓自己變成像大家喜歡的樣子或是大家想要我成為的樣子,那時我必須躲太陽、避免戶外、禁食我最愛的食物,或是就是不能正常吃食物。這真的很難很痛苦,因為那不是我!(也因為我就是這麼愛吃)
It isn't always easy to like yourself. Back when I was a model, I tried to mold myself into what I thought everybody wanted me to be or look like. That meant staying away from the sun, the outdoors, my favorites foods... Or just food in general! It was hard because it wasn't me (and cuz I love food too much😜).
經過犯很多次錯,尋求建議,聽取前輩指導,或是就是好好靜下心來自己好好想想,到底怎麼樣的我才是最棒的我,且是我現在、此時此刻,最喜歡的自己,
It took making mistakes, getting guidance, listening to advice, and just passing some time to eventually figure out who is my best me, right here, right now.
