Pharrell Williams performed his inescapable Girl single "Happy" on the Grammys with newfound drama, since classical pianist Lang Lang, who played with Metallica at last year's Grammys, and film composer Hans Zimmer joined him.
菲瑞·威廉姆斯在格莱美激情演出他的经典曲目《Happy》,不过这次呈现了完全不同的风格,去年与“金属乐队”合作的中国古典钢琴家郎朗,还有电影配乐家汉斯·季默(注:《星球大战》)都加入了此次表演行列。
 
Dressed like a bellhop in white gloves, blue shorts with yellow shoes, Pharrell led a cinematic intro to the tune that gave way to a typically blissful version of the song with breaks for pianosonatas and gospel breakdowns. Questlove clapped along, as a white-gown-wearing choir made their way up the aisle. "As you can see, I'm at your service, Lord," Pharrell said at the end. 
菲瑞穿得像个旅馆侍者,白手套、蓝色短裤、黄鞋子出场,以电影般的对白开场,一段耳熟能详的歌曲之后骤然进入郎朗的钢琴独奏,踩着快斯拉的节奏,身穿白色长袍唱诗班出现在走廊中间舞动。最后结尾菲瑞说:“看到了吗我的主,我乐意为您效劳。”

Williams was nominated in several categories this year, including his collaborations with Beyonce and Ed Sheeran against himself in Album of the Year, and, as a solo artist, was nominated in four categories: Album of the Year for Girl, Best Pop Solo Performance for "Happy," Best Urban Contemporary Album for Girl and Best Music Video for "Happy." He'd already won trophies for the latter three awards by the time he performed; Album of the Year had not yet been announced.
威廉姆斯今年有好几项格莱美获奖提名,他和碧昂丝、红发艾德合作的专辑和他自己的专辑同时被提名专辑奖:最受女生欢迎年度专辑、最佳当代城市专辑。另外这首独唱歌曲《Happy》被提名最佳流行音乐表演和最佳MV奖。

Pharrell originally released the song on the soundtrack for Despicable Me 2 in 2013, and created the world's first 24-hour music video to accompany it. Months later, he revealed to Howard Stern that he had originally written it with CeeLo Green in mind and that that singer had actually recorded it. Williams said that CeeLo sounded amazing but that "the powers that be" vetoed its release.
这首获奖歌曲首次出现是在2013年电影《卑鄙的我2》中,并创造了全球首次在24小时内完成音乐配乐的记录。几个月后,菲瑞向霍华德·斯特恩(注:脱口秀ShockJock主持人)透露,其实这首歌一开始是写给CeeLo Green唱的,他都录好音了,而且听起来非常棒。但是因为内定操控否决了它的发表。

The song was previously nominated for an Oscar last year –Pharrell even performed it at the Academy Awards –but it went to another ubiquitous children's movie song: Frozen's "Let It Go."
这首歌去年被提名奥斯卡金像奖,菲瑞甚至都在台上表演了。不过最终获奖是另一首耳熟能详无所不在的儿童动画电影配乐《Let it Go》。
