Sam Smith's Second Speech
萨姆·史密斯:第二次上台发表获奖感言

Upon winning the award for Best Pop Vocal Album — the second award of the night, just after he took home the Best New Artist honor — he told the star-studded arena, "Before I made this record, I was doing everything to try to get my music heard. I was trying to lose weight, and I was making awful music. It was only until I started to be myself that the music started to flow and people started to listen. So thank you guys for accepting me just as I am."
他在摘得年度新人奖之后,又摘得了当晚的最佳流行专辑奖,在领取该奖时,他向明星荟萃的会场说道:“在我制作这张唱片之前,我想尽一切办法想要让我的音乐被人听到。我试着减肥。我也做了糟糕的音乐。只有当我开始做自己时,我的音乐才如泉喷涌,人们也开始聆听我的音乐。所以谢谢你们能接受真实的我。”

Madonna

Madonna's Matador Moment
麦当娜:斗牛士时刻

Sticking it to both her haters and hackers, the pop icon gave her single "Living for Love" its impressive television debut with a matador-themed performance, complete with an embellished red outfit, a gospel choir in red gowns and a slew of shirtless dancers wearing black horns and sparkling masks. She ended her performance by ascending to the ceiling.
为了反击那些恨她,黑她的人,麦当娜这位流行偶像演唱了一曲《此生为爱而活”,并与斗牛士表演相配。这首歌是首次在电视上演唱,让人影响深刻:她身穿一袭红色外套,福音合唱团全部身穿红袍,一群头顶黑角,脸带闪耀面具上身赤裸的舞者。她以被高高举起结束了她的表演。

Katy Perry

Present Obama and Katy Perry
凯蒂·佩里:表演含奥巴马主题

In a sleek white gown, Katy Perry performed her Prism ballad "By the Grace of God," which was prefaced with an introduction denouncing domestic violence by President Barack Obama and a moving spoken-word piece by abuse survivor and activist Brooke Axtell.
水果姐以一袭白袍演唱了《感谢上帝的恩泽》,演出以奥巴马指责家暴的视频介绍,和受过家暴的反家暴活动家布鲁克动人的演讲为前奏。

Pharrell Williams

Pharrell's Tribute to Ferguson
菲瑞:致敬弗格森

With a bilingual spoken section, a "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" gesture and a very minor introduction with heavy strings, Williams refreshed his Despicable Me 2 hit "Happy" with a piano interlude with Lang Lang — and Hans Zimmer on guitar. He was curiously dressed in a bellhop-like outfit, until he noted at the end of his performance, "As you can see, I'm at your service, Lord."
以双语开头,做出“举起手,不要开枪”的姿势,并配以管弦乐演奏开场,菲瑞配合郎朗的钢琴间奏和汉斯·季默的吉他,重新演绎了《卑鄙的我2》中的单曲《开心》。他别出心裁的身穿行李员外套。演出结束之时他说道:“就像你看到的一样,我随时为你效劳,主。

Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney

"Four Five Seconds"
《四五秒》

In a night of many, many duets and medleys that smashed superstars together, one of the most successful was that of Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney, who performed their new single "FourFiveSeconds" with McCartney also accompanying on acoustic guitar.
在这样一个夜晚,很多二重唱或者混在一起的大咖们组合在一起,其中最成功的一组是蕾哈娜,坎耶·韦斯特和保罗·麦卡特尼。他们演唱了新歌《四五秒》,并配以木吉他伴奏。

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga
托尼·班奈特和嘎嘎小姐

Another successful duet of the night was when the standards legend and the pop singer sang their duet version of "Cheek to Cheek" while leaning against the piano and dancing hand-in-hand on a platform in the middle of the audience.
当晚另外一个相当成功的二重唱就是这对了。乐界传奇和流行歌手在舞台上靠着钢琴,手牵手跳着舞,唱起《脸贴脸》。

Kanye West

Kanye West's VMA Reprise?
坎耶·维斯特:MTV音乐录影带大奖的重复?

It was nearly a flashback to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when Kanye West pretended to take the stage when Beck won the Grammy for Album of the Year for Morning Phase. However, he wasn't joking, as he noted afterward in a long rant to E! that he's there to "fight for creativity" and that Beck should've given the award to Beyonce (whom he also defended to Taylor Swift in 2009). Beck, like everyone else, thought it was a joke in the moment, and asked him to come onstage with him, though he didn't.
当贝克凭借《早晨阶段》赢得最佳年度专辑的时候,坎耶·维斯特假装登台演唱,不禁让人想起2009年MTV音乐录影带大奖发生的事。但是他并没有开玩笑,之后也高唱起来,从而表示他站在那里,要为创造力而战!贝克本应该把荣誉给碧昂斯的(和他在2009年对泰勒做的一样)。贝克和别人一样,认为这是个玩笑,并邀请他上台和他一起唱,但是他没有。

 

Kristen Wiig

Kristen Wiig's "Chandelier"
克里斯汀·韦格:《吊顶》

After Shia LaBeouf read a mysterious poem by "Eric," Sia sang her hit "Chandelier" while facing a wall, as actress Kristen Wiig surprisingly joined Maddie Ziegler onstage — both in wigs — for an apartment-set dance that drew on the theatrical peculiarity the artist has now made her signature tone.
在希安·拉博夫读了埃瑞克一首很神秘的诗之后,希雅演唱了他的热门单曲《吊顶》,她面对着墙面,而令人想不到的是女演员克里斯汀·韦格加入麦迪·西格那一起跳了起来。她们都带着假发。她们一同跳起了公寓舞,这舞蹈算是麦迪·西格那的特色了。

 

Beyonce

Beyonce's Big Gesture
碧昂斯的姿势

The singer took the stage in a sparking white gown and veil to perform the hymn, "Precious Lord, Take My Hand," backed by a twelve African-American men who gestured "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" at the start of the number, among a few other moves.
她身穿一袭亮闪白色外套和白纱演唱起《上天啊,拉住我的手吧!》,并配由12位非裔美国人,前面几个展示出“举起手,不要开枪”的姿势。其他人随之舞动。
