Justin Bieber: 5 things we learned from his tour rider
分享到
关于欧美“小鲜肉”比伯,你也许认为你已经知道的够多了,可是你知道他巡演期间开出的要求清单上都有什么内容吗?现在我们就来满足一下你的好奇心。
We all know celebrities have a long list of demands when they go on tour, but Justin Bieber has taken it to the next level.
明星们巡演的时候会提一大长串要求,对此我们已经见怪不怪了,但贾斯汀•比伯在这方面简直是登峰造极。
A music journalist in India has claimed to have received a list of the singer's demands, which he posted on Twitter.
一位印度音乐记者称收到了歌手比伯的要求清单,并把这份清单发到了推特上。
It's a pretty extensive list, but then again, Justin has a pretty extensive entourage of 120 people to look after.
这份清单确实不短,但话说回来,贾斯汀可是要顾及足足120位随行人员。
And, to be fair, most stars pay for the things they request, so he is the one footing the bill for the many demands.
并且,平心而论,大多数明星都对他们的要求自掏腰包,所以这么多要求也是贾斯汀自己掏钱。
Its authenticity hasn't been verified by Bieber's team, but oh how we hope it's accurate.
虽然清单的真实性还未得到比伯团队证实,但是,我们多么希望它是真的。
天差地别的衣服尺码
In every dressing room, Justin needs white crew-neck T-shirts, tank tops and some socks.
贾斯汀需要在每个更衣室中都放有白色圆领T恤、背心和袜子。
All fairly normal right items of clothing right? Well, yes, but the sizes he's requested are a bit odd.
这些都是再正常不过的衣服了不是吗?当然,是的,但他要求的衣服尺码就有点奇怪了。
Let's take the socks. JB only wants sizes available in XS (extra small) and L (large).
以袜子为例,贾斯汀只要求准备XS号(特小号)和L号(大号)的袜子。
Now, this suggests to us that he's got one foot significantly bigger than the other.
这告诉我们,可能他其中一只脚比另一只大很多。
Either that or his crew is made up of only very large or very small people, so if you're of average build you might find it hard to join the Bieber clan.
又或者他的员工只有大块头和小不点这两类人,所以你如果是中等身材,那可能很难加入比伯的团队。
独具匠心的玻璃门冰箱
You know what's, like, really annoying? When you have to go to the effort of opening your fridge to find out what's actually in it.
你知道特别烦人的一件事是什么吗?就是你必须得打开冰箱门,才能知道里面有什么。
Bieber has come up with an excellent solution to this problem we all face - specifically requesting a glass-door refrigerator.
比伯想出了一个绝妙的办法,解决了这个我们都犯难的问题——特别要一个玻璃门的冰箱不就行了。
That way, he'll be able to see through to his requested energy drinks, cream sodas, protein drinks, half a gallon of almond milk and "24 still water bottles" (no need for the actual water, just the bottles).
这样一来,他就能轻而易举地看到他点的能量饮料、奶油苏打水、蛋白饮料、半加仑杏仁奶和“24个无气泡矿泉水瓶子”(里面不需要真的有水,只要瓶子)。
He'll need some food to go with all that liquid, so there's also dried fruit, vegetables seasoned with ranch sauce, organic turkey and white cheddar popcorn on the list.
贾斯汀还需要与这些饮品搭配的食物,所以清单上还有干果、配有牧场沙拉酱的蔬菜、有机火鸡和白切达奶酪爆米花。
所有菜肴都以歌曲命名
The list doesn't just cover snacks - it also offers many clues about the kind of meals A-list singers like to eat while on the road.
这份清单不止包含零食,它还提供了很多线索,告诉我们一线歌手们都喜欢在巡演路上吃哪种食物。
"Top culinary experts will supervise the gourmet food being served to Bieber over the four days with five dishes per day being renamed after his popular songs," it says.
清单上写道“需要有顶级的烹饪专家为供给比伯的美食把关。这四天中,每天都提供五道以比伯热门歌曲命名的菜。”
This line is an absolute gift to any chef, surely.
对任何主厨来说,达到这项要求简直不费吹灰之力。
You could have the Baby burrito, the Boyfriend burger, the Sorry sandwich, the Love Yourself lamb and the What Do You Mean watermelon.
菜单可以是:“宝贝”墨西哥卷饼、“男朋友”汉堡、“对不起”三明治、“爱你自己”羔羊肉和“你什么意思”西瓜。
来个漩涡浴
"Arrangements for a Jacuzzi have also been made for Bieber's personal use to unwind before he takes to the stage," the star's list says.
贾斯汀的清单上写着“为比伯安排一个专用的极可意水流按摩浴缸,以便他上台前能得到放松。”
If whirlpool access could be made law for all people with normal jobs, we'd really appreciate it.
如果从事普通工作的人都能享受到漩涡浴,那我们会感激涕零的。
You do have to Love Yourself, after all, and Justin is clearly a man who believes you should practise what you preach.
你真的要好好“爱自己”(贾斯汀的歌曲名),毕竟,贾斯汀显然是个言出必行的人。
Which would also explain the other requests for a massage table and an accompanying personal (female) masseuse.
这就不难理解,清单上为啥还要求配备一张按摩床和一名随行的私人女按摩师了。
要求一个印度瑜伽盒
It's quite irritating when you go out to do your food shop and remember to buy bread, milk and veg, but forget to pick up a special Indian yoga casket.
如果你出门采购,买了面包、牛奶和蔬菜,但却忘了买个特别的印度瑜伽盒,这可真让人恼火。
In Bieber's case, it's not just any special Indian yoga casket, but a special Indian yoga casket which contains aromatic essential oils, jasmine, mogra and incense sticks.
对比伯来说,这可不止是一个特别的印度瑜伽盒,而是一个装有精油、茉莉、小茶花和香柱的特别的印度瑜伽盒。
We're not totally confident we even know what a "mogra" is.
我们甚至不能确切地告诉你“小茶花”是什么东西。
To complement the casket, "books on chakras and yoga asanas will be placed in Bieber's suite knowing his love for yoga". We all knew about his love for yoga didn't we?
除了瑜伽盒外,既然我们都知道比伯爱好瑜伽,所以他的套房里应放有“关于脉轮和瑜伽体式的书籍。”我们都知道他爱好瑜伽,不是吗?
还有,值得一提的是
No Bieber tour is complete without his requested cola gummies, ping pong table, 12 white handkerchiefs and hydrating lip balm.
此外,如果没有比伯要求的可乐软糖、乒乓球台、12条白色手帕和锁水唇蜜,那么他的巡演将是不完整的。
