導(dǎo)讀：“火星哥”布魯諾·馬爾斯是歐美樂壇公認(rèn)的音樂才子，在2017年11月舉行的全美音樂獎(jiǎng)?lì)C獎(jiǎng)禮上一舉拿下了六項(xiàng)大獎(jiǎng)。而談到自己的成功秘籍，火星哥認(rèn)為只有一個(gè)訣竅：努力。

Like it or not， people tend to give labels to singers—Adele， pop； Eminem， rap； Miranda Lambert， country. But that rule doesnt seem to apply to Bruno Mars. The 33-year-old US singer is， in the eyes of The New York Times critic Jon Caramanica， “one of the most versatile and accessible singers” working today.

不論你是否喜歡，人們總會(huì)給歌手們貼上標(biāo)簽——阿黛爾，流行歌手；埃米納姆，饒舌歌手；米蘭達(dá)·蘭伯特，鄉(xiāng)村歌手。但貼標(biāo)簽這一說法似乎并不適用于“火星哥”布魯諾·馬爾斯。在《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》評(píng)論家喬恩·卡拉曼尼卡看來，這位現(xiàn)年33歲的美國(guó)歌手是當(dāng)今活躍在歌壇中“最多才多藝又平易近人的歌手之一”。

After hearing the musician display a wide variety of music styles ranging from pop to hip-hop to rock， Caramanica said， “there is nowhere Mars doesnt belong.”

在聽完這位音樂人演繹流行、嘻哈、搖滾等多樣的音樂曲風(fēng)后，卡拉曼尼卡說道：“沒有哪種曲風(fēng)是馬爾斯無法駕馭的?！?/p>

Mars won six awards at the American Music Awards on Nov. 19， 2017 including Artist of the Year and Favorite Male Artist.

2017年11月19日，馬爾斯在全美音樂獎(jiǎng)?lì)C獎(jiǎng)禮上獲得了年度藝人、最受歡迎男藝人等六項(xiàng)大獎(jiǎng)。

And unlike many of todays popular singers， Mars didnt get to where he is via a talent show or the Internet. After he left his hometown of Hawaii for Los Angeles， California， to pursue his dreams at 17， Mars was “rejected and rejected and rejected for years”， as he told the Mercury News. Before he was able to appear on stage， he had to prove himself by producing and writing songs for others.

與如今許多流行歌手不同的是，馬爾斯并非通過選秀或網(wǎng)絡(luò)成名。他17歲離開家鄉(xiāng)夏威夷，前往加州洛杉磯追逐夢(mèng)想，正如他在接受《水星新聞報(bào)》采訪時(shí)所說的那樣，“好幾年來一直被拒”。在登上舞臺(tái)演出之前，他不得不為他人寫歌來證明自己。

So what does Mars owe his success to？ “Spending thousands of hours in a studio learning how to write a song， learning how to play different chords， training myself to sing，” he said in an interview on US TV show 60 Minutes.

那么馬爾斯認(rèn)為自己成功的原因是什么呢？“在工作室里花上無數(shù)小時(shí)來學(xué)習(xí)創(chuàng)作歌曲、彈奏不同的和音以及練習(xí)唱功。”他在接受美國(guó)電視節(jié)目《60分鐘》采訪時(shí)表示。

However， it seems that Mars forgot to mention one thing： his amazing talent.

然而，馬爾斯似乎忘了提及一件事：他出眾的才華。
