As well-known for putting his foot in his mouth as he is for his guitar prowess, John Mayer says he understands the public perception.
他說(shuō)蠢話和他的吉他威力一樣知名，約翰•梅爾說(shuō)他理解公眾的看法。
"I was just a jerk," the musician, 35, tells Anthony Mason during an interview airing this weekend on CBS Sunday Morning at 9 a.m. EST.
“我只是個(gè)混球，”這位35歲的音樂(lè)家本周末在東部時(shí)間周日上午9點(diǎn)哥倫比亞廣播公司播出的采訪中告訴安東尼•梅森。
"It’s very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you," he explains. "I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction."
“當(dāng)你終于意識(shí)到不可能讓所有人都喜歡你時(shí)這真是非常解放，”他解釋道。“我希望大家都喜歡我。我以為我只是虛有其表，在各個(gè)方向搖擺不定。”
Now dating Katy Perry and dipping a toe back into live performing (he plans to tour to promote his recent album Born and Raised over the summer), Mayer gave the interview ahead of a benefit concert he held in his adopted home state of Montana last month. It was the first time he had sung live in close to two years, thanks to a persistent throat granuloma that Mayer had surgery for twice.
現(xiàn)在與凱蒂•佩里約會(huì)，試圖涉足現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演（他計(jì)劃這個(gè)夏天巡演來(lái)宣傳最近的新專輯《出生和成長(zhǎng)》），上個(gè)月梅爾在他被收養(yǎng)的家鄉(xiāng)蒙大拿州舉辦的慈善音樂(lè)會(huì)之前接受采訪。這是他近兩年來(lái)第一次現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演唱，由于持續(xù)的喉嚨肉芽腫，梅爾曾兩次手術(shù)。
"It's been a crazy couple years thinking that I got it and finding out I didn't. I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago, we looked at my throat and the thing is gone," he said from the stage prior to launching into "Speak for Me."
“這真是瘋狂的幾年，我想我得到了它，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)我沒(méi)有。幾周前我去看醫(yī)生，我們看著我的喉嚨，那東西走了，”在演唱"Speak for Me" 之前他在舞臺(tái)上說(shuō)。
However, he admonished the crowd to "lower your expectations. [My voice] is not going to sound like it normally sounds. I'm going to sing some songs for you for the first time in a while. I'm going to do my best ... I'm going to try."
不過(guò)，他告誡眾人“降低你的期望。[我的聲音)不會(huì)聽(tīng)起來(lái)像它通常聽(tīng)起來(lái)的那樣。這段時(shí)間我第一次為你唱一些歌曲。我要盡力做好…我要試試。”
