10月16日是辛炎的生日，来看下邮件吧~
Couple days ago while I was dining in the Wanmin Restaurant, a "friend of rock" from Fontaine recognized me and asked for an autograph! But this one was surprised by what I was eating and said a singer like me should avoid spicy foods...
But there's no way I could squeeze a song out if I have to live on bland, tasteless food all the time.
Besides, I realized that if I inhale hard after eating spicy food, I can make use of an underutilized vocal resonance area to add flavors to my singing. I've been working hard to master it!
So for my birthday, I'll eat all the spicy I want and use that super-husky voice to sing something really rock 'n' roll!
I need an audience to bear witness to this brand-new technique, so you better be there, or be square!
精读如下：
Couple days ago while I was dining in the Wanmin Restaurant, a "friend of rock" from Fontaine recognized me and asked for an autograph!
几天前在万民堂吃饭的时候，我被一位来自枫丹的「摇滚之友」认了出来，还要了签名！
But this one was surprised by what I was eating and said a singer like me should avoid spicy foods...
但对方看到我面前的菜肴却很是诧异，说是作为一名歌手，应该忌食辛辣的食物…
But there's no way I could squeeze a song out if I have to live on bland, tasteless food all the time.
可要是让我整天清汤寡水，怕不是一首曲子都写不出来喽。
Besides, I realized that if I inhale hard after eating spicy food, I can make use of an underutilized vocal resonance area to add flavors to my singing.
除此之外我还发现，吃辣之后再用力呼吸时，有一块平时不怎么用的共鸣区域，唱出来的歌曲别有一番风味。
I've been working hard to master it!
最近我正在练习驾驭这种风格！
So for my birthday, I'll eat all the spicy I want and use that super-husky voice to sing something really rock 'n' roll!
生日这天，我也想吃够辣味，再用超有颗粒感的嗓音，唱出足够摇滚的歌曲！
I need an audience to bear witness to this brand-new technique, so you better be there, or be square!
新的风格肯定需要见证者，我等你来做我的听众！
