Singing is sharing.

歌唱就是一种分享。

When you sing, you have to know what you're talking about intimately,

当你歌唱的时候， 你需要知道内心的想法，

and you have to be willing to share this insight

愿意与他人分享你的观点，

and give away a piece of yourself.

把你的一部分展现出来。

所有的事我都以这样的意图分享，

and I ask: what are the intentions behind this architecture or this product

or this restaurant or this meal?

或是这个餐厅，这顿饭， 背后有怎样的意义？

And if your intentions are to impress people

如果你的意图是让人们 对你留下深刻印象，

或是赢得掌声，

or to get the big applause at the end,

then you are taking, not giving.

那你就是在索取，而不是给予。
