24
And to prepare a few moves.
25
I did it to just...
26
I mean, what I wanted to do was see what are the new moves of the year.
27

28
So, yeah, exactly.
29

31

33
I don't care of magic in the air.
34
I've never seen that before.
35
Well, you know...
36
Because you do something here.
37
That's it!
38
Amazing.
39
Bruno, you call yourself a student of music.
40
What do you mean by that?
41
Before anyone knew who I was, I was producing music for other artists.
42
I had to be able to produce for a rock artist, a hip hop artist, all kinds of different music.
43
So it's my job to study all kinds of music.
44
So I'm allowed to go into the studio and know what they're talking about, know what worlds they come from.
45
So therefore I'm a student of music.
46
I've read somewhere about you that you are the kind of musician that has music constantly in your head.
47
Yeah.
48
How does that work?
49
Take us in...
50
How does it take us in there?
51
How does it take us in there?
52
You don't want to go in there.
53
No, it's just, you know, I'm constantly, for this album, I was constantly thinking about how I could make it better, how I could make the chorus better,
54
different chord progressions, different drum beats.
55
And now that the album's ready and I've got to perform, I'm thinking about, all right, how the light's going to hit.
56
And I want to make sure everyone, we traveled all this way I want to make sure everyone has a good time
57
so I'm always constantly thinking about something involved with music do
58
you do you ever get time off do you ever does
59
it ever get quiet no what do you do to get
60
some time off I like movies I go to the movies
61
you play cards as well I do yeah what kind of cards is
62
that I used to play poker a lot how do you do I mean Are you any good or is it?
63
No, I used to play a long time ago.
64
For a long time, that's how I would pay my rent.
65
And then I stopped.
66
So you paid your rent by playing poker?
67
Yeah.
68
So I take it you won more than you lost?
69
I wouldn't go that far.
70
I got, I had a lucky streak for a while, but at some point it had to come crashing down.
71
You can't, you know, your shoebox of money starts depleting.
72
You know, you have, I had a couple, a couple dollars in a shoebox, and then all of a sudden my car breaks down,
73
and whatever, doctor bill, and all of a sudden that money's not looking so pretty.
74
We were talking about that earlier in this programme.
75
And I know you don't like to talk about the election.
76
I'm not going to talk about that.
77
But we were talking about class.
78
And I wonder, because now you're sort of pop royalty in America.
79
Thanks.
80
You are, of course.
81
But sometimes before that, I mean, have you ever experienced the other side of it?
82
Have you ever experienced to be really on the other end of the scale?
83
Yeah, my whole life I feel like I've been struggling to do what I want to do, and that was music.
84
And it just wasn't easy.
85
I had to go through some things.
86
But you can't regret it because I might not be here if it wasn't for that journey that I had to take.
87
So were you like poor or middle poor?
88
Poor is an understatement.
89
I was below poor.
90
Well, you see, it started off, my father had a show in Hawaii.
91
And it was a successful show.
92
And we were doing good were well off.
93
When my father and mother divorced,
94
we lost the businesses and then that kind of spiraled into getting as poor as it gets.
95
This is something you just decided that you were going to be an artist, you were going to be a star.
96
I was always going to be doing music.
97
I was always going to be doing music.
98
That's all I know.
99
There's videos of me you could look up on the internet of me is this big singing
100
and dancing and I'm not good at anything else.
101
And that's all I wanted to do and I was just, I wanted to take it to the next level,
102
that's why I moved to California and figured out that you have to write your own song.
103
You can't tell, you can't ask anybody, you know I was going into the studio saying, I wish I could, I want to do a song that sounds like this and feels like this.
104
They don't know what you're talking about.
105
So the only way I had to do it myself.
106
Do you agree that this is also a part of your gambling personality?
107
Yeah, I think I'm always betting on.
108
A huge gamble to just make it.
109
Yeah, I'm always betting on myself.
110
Before anything.
111
I bet on me.
112
Do you have a gambling personality?
113
I don't gamble.
114
So that's what the voice is telling you?
115
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
116
Don't gamble.
117
Yeah, yeah.
118
I'm sure you've taken risks.
119
That's really what it's about.
120
I never play poker and I don't gamble in that sense.
121
But you have to be willing to go to the comfort zone and just go for it.
122
When you write a song, you very much think about a film.
123
Or in the perspective that you're telling a story.
124
Well, no, for this album, because I love music so much and because I come from a producer background and work with different artists,
125
for this album, I kind of tricked myself and said, I'm going to write a movie.
126
I'm going to write a script.
127
And I can see it in my head I can see me
128
and my band dancing and gold everywhere and women screaming for me when I do interviews
129
so that's how you envision it I just I just envisioned
130
that I envision this fun album that made people want to dance, made people want to fall in love, make people want to make love and dance again.
131
It was because of my upbringing.
132
There's music that I grew up with that I was dancing.
133
Me and my friends when I think about the height like going up in Hawaii, if you didn't dance, girls weren't looking at you.
134
So it was very important that you knew how to dance and that was the music that was playing on the radio.
135
And that's the music you make today?
136
That's the music I aspire to make.
137
I remember that feeling of wow this feels so right, this feels so good.
138
So I was just trying to make, with this album that's what I was aiming for.
139
Is to try to capture that feeling and give it to the world.
140
And one last question before you go on stage.
141
I just wonder if you were to pick one song that can really get you up on the floor.
142
And it's none of your own songs, right?
143
That can make you...
144
I mean, you're in a disco, and the DJ puts on one song.
145
Which song would be the best choice?
146
The best choice?
147
I'm gonna ask you two afterwards, so prepare.
148
That's the hardest question anyone has ever asked me.
149
Right now, how I feel...
150
Rick James, Super Freak.
151
Rick James, Super Freak.
152
I'll make you note of that and I'm going to play it in a locked room by myself, very loud when I come home.
153
Yeah, nobody's going to see me.
154
Which one is your favourite?
155
Love Cat with The Cure.
156
It's a really good song.
157
I grew up with that one.
158
I think it would have to be something with ABBA.
159
Of course it should be ABBA.
160
Don't you like ABBA? Who doesn't like ABBA?
161
I know!
162
I mean, I even like ABBA.
163
That's like cheating.
164
Safe bet.
165
You can't answer safe bet.
166
That's like cheating.
167
What's your favorite ABBA tune?
168
You can dance, you can stop, having the time of your life.
169
Thank you so much, Bruno Mars.
170
Thank you so much.
FOR YOU
推荐视频
这个视频适合谁?
无论是想要提升雅思口语练习能力的考生,还是通过看YouTube学英语的爱好者,这个视频都很合适。它的对话节奏自然,话题贴近生活,适合中高级学习者模仿。视频中的交流包含日常寒暄、音乐相关讨论,能帮助学习者掌握真实场景中的表达逻辑,尤其适合英语影子跟读练习,提升口语流畅度。
值得借鉴的词汇和习语
视频中有不少实用表达,比如:
- 24 karat magic:原指“24K纯金魔法”,这里形容专辑的高品质,可引申为“极具魅力的事物”。
- student of music:不是“音乐学生”,而是“音乐研究者”,强调对音乐的深入学习。
- constantly in your head:“一直在脑海里”,用来描述音乐灵感源源不断的状态。
这些表达生动且实用,适合融入日常口语。
如何练好口音?
Bruno Mars的发音清晰,语调富有节奏感,是练习shadowspeak的好素材。模仿时需注意:
- 连读:比如“it's cold out there”中,“out there”可连读为/ˈaʊtðeə(r)/,弱化“t”的发音。
- 语调起伏:他在回答问题时,会用升调表示疑问或兴趣,如“Really?”,降调表示肯定,如“Yeah.”。
- 重音位置:“24 karat magic”中,“karat”和“magic”需重读,突出核心词。
通过英语影子跟读反复练习,能逐渐掌握这些技巧,提升口语的自然度。shadowspeaks练习法强调“边听边说”,跟着视频中的节奏模仿,效果更佳。
什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
