任何一個粵語流行樂的“骨灰級”粉絲
都已經注意到了全球最大型粵語歌詞大汇
即將要在廣東舉行了！
Any self-respecting fan of Cantonese pop music
would be well aware that each year
the world’s largest Cantonese singing competition
is held right here in Guangdong.
也可以叫做“麥王爭霸賽”
然而最近這檔節目
改名爲了“粵語好聲音”
It was once known as “King of the Mic”
but these days it has been rebranded
into “The Voice of Cantonese.”
這檔自2011年就飽受好評的歌唱節目，吸引了衆多有天賦的唱將，爲廣東的音樂事業做出了巨大的貢獻。其中一位唱將也是史上第一位“麥王爭霸賽”的冠軍馮博今天也來到了我們欄目組接受了我們的采訪。
The competition has been staged since 2011, and has long been a ratings hit. A long list of talented singers have taken part in the competition, boosting the careers of many Cantonese artists. But there is only one person who can proudly say that they were the first ever champion of “King of the Mic” and that man is… Feng Bo.
我們與馮博進行了獨家采訪，一起來聊聊他的生活，工作和未來的展望。讓我們來一起邀請這位冉冉升起的廣東歌星！
We sat down with Feng Bo for an exclusive interview, discussing his life, career and future hopes. Here is our interview with Cantonese pop’s rising superstar.
問：你在廣東是一位有名的歌手兼電視主持人。這是你一直夢寐以求的夢想嗎？現在你感覺怎麽樣？
You are a famous singer and television host in Guangdong. Has this always been a dream of yours? How does it feel to have achieved it?
答：老實說，我只想過當一名歌手。我從來沒有想到過我能成爲一名電視主持人，但是我想這就生活，你需要時刻迎接那些挑戰。我實現了我的夢想嗎，我不覺得，我還有很長一段路要走。
Well to be honest with you, I only ever dreamt of being a singer. I never thought about being a TV host, but I guess that is just life, you need to keep an open mind and accept all the challenges that come your way. Have I actually achieved my dream so far? I don’t think so; I still have a long way to go.
問：你是在廣東出生長大的，後來你搬到了加拿大，是什麽讓你重回祖國的？
You were born and raised in Guangdong, later moving to Canada. What brought you back?
答：其實，我是在湛江出生的。我17歲就去了加拿大。原因很簡單，因爲我贏得了“麥王爭霸賽”的冠軍，我簽下了合約並且留在了廣州。
Actually, I was born in a city called Zhanjiang, China. I moved to Canada when I was 17. The reason why I stay in Guangzhou now is because I joined the “King of the Mic” singing competition and won, then I signed my contract. It is as simple as that.
問：成爲比賽的一部分，會不會讓你感到頭疼？
Was being part of the singing competition a nerve-wracking experience for you?
答：信不信由你，我每次都會在舞台上覺得緊張，但是我覺得這種緊張會讓你更加有動力，所以嘛，我覺得這並不是一場壞事。
Believe it or not, I still get nervous every time I go on stage. I always think of nervousness as a form of excitement which keeps you energetic, therefore it's not always bad for me.
問：這檔節目已經更名爲“粵語好聲音”了。你覺得這檔節目保留粵語和廣東文化有什麽重要性嗎？
The show has now been rebranded as “The Voice of Cantonese.” How important do you think the show is to preserving the Cantonese language and promoting Cantonese culture?
答：我覺得這檔節目是要人們知道真正的粵語歌曲有多好聽。老實說，現在的人們不像80和90年代一樣癡迷于粵語歌曲了，他們現在都更喜歡普通話的流行歌曲。所以如果我們不大力發揚這種節目的話，也許以後沒有人再會去唱粵語歌了。
I think the show really reminds people of how good Cantonese songs really were. Frankly, Cantonese songs are not as popular now as they were in the 80s or 90s and most people prefer to sing Mandarin songs or in other languages other than Cantonese. So, if we don’t keep doing this show, sooner or later there will be no one singing Cantonese songs anymore.
問：現在的傳播媒介已經大有不同，新媒體變得更加有影響力。你覺得你會怎麽利用新媒體來幫助你的職業發展？
The media landscape has changed over the years and new media is more influential than ever. How do you make the most of new media to develop your career?
答：哈哈，我是一個懶人而且還不太擅長使用這種網絡的東西。我把大部分的時間都花在制作音樂上，而且我認爲好音樂就像金子一樣總是會發光的，這跟我是否會使用新媒體不會有太大影響哈哈，我是一個懶人而且還不太擅長使用這種網絡的東西。我把大部分的時間都花在制作音樂上，而且我認爲好音樂就像金子一樣總是會發光的，這跟我是否會使用新媒體不會有太大影響。
Lol. I’m a lazy person and I’m not good at online stuff. I spend most of my time making music and I always believe good music will be discovered regardless of whether I use new media or not.
問：你出過很多歌曲，你有最喜歡的一首嗎？
You have released many songs. Do you have a personal favorite?
答：我覺得《明日（Remix）》(Take Your Broken Heart, Make it into Art)是我最喜歡的一首。這是我的第一支原創個人單曲而且深受人們喜愛。這讓我更加積極地去寫我自己的歌。如果人們不喜歡這首歌。說不定我就再也不自己寫歌了或者讓別人幫我寫了。
I think 《明日（Remix）》(Tomorrow) is my favorite. It was my first debut single and people loved it. It really gave me courage to write my own songs after that. If people hated it, I might have just stopped right there and asked someone else to do the writing for me.

問：你認爲住在廣州最好的事情是什麽？
What do you think the best thing about living in Guangzhou is?
答：我認爲在廣州發生的最好的事情是，我認識了很多善良和有才能的朋友，他們對我都很好，而且能對我的歌迷們唱歌總是讓我感到開心和感激。
I think the best thing that has happened to me in Guangzhou is that I got to know many kind and talented friends who are all good to me, and, definitely singing songs live to my fans always makes me very happy and grateful.
問：在未來我們能期待什麽？
What can we expect from you in the future?
答：我想制作一張專輯，讓人們可以在很長一段時間裏聽著享受著它，一直到十年甚至幾十年。我知道這並不容易，但這是它的樂趣，不是嗎？
I would like to make an album that people can listen to it for a long time, for years or even decades. I know it won't be easy but that's the joy of it, isn’t it？
