在2014年奥斯卡颁奖典礼上,《冰雪奇缘》不出意料获得了最佳动画长片奖!它的成功离不开影片中那些好听的歌曲,今天就让我们一起来盘点和欣赏下~~
Guess what, Disney fans? Frozen is good. And as you may have heard, the soundtrack is even better.
迪斯尼的粉丝们,你们怎么看?《冰雪奇缘》很不错。也许和你听说的那样,它的电影原声甚至比电影更棒。
Like the now-classics in Disney’s Renaissance period, Frozen’s array of original tunes feels as fresh and infectious as the Menken-Ashman-Rice songs that defined a generation’s Disney musicals.
与迪斯尼动画复兴时期的经典作品一样,《冰雪奇缘》的原创音乐听起来很有新鲜感,朗朗上口,正如孟肯、阿什曼、莱斯这些杰出的音乐家所创作出的、标榜着一个时代的迪斯尼音乐一样。
Now the movie is out (and cleaning up at the box office) and the soundtrack is ready for streaming, and I just can’t stop listening. Here’s my ranking of the original songs by Bobby Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. (Although, let’s be frank: They’re all pretty fantastic.)
现在电影已经上映(并占据票房首位),它的原声带也已经流出,我反复地听这些曲目,根本停不下来。这里是我个人对原声带歌曲做的一个排行,这些歌曲是由鲍比·洛佩兹和克里斯汀·安德森洛佩兹创作的。(不过老实说:所有的歌曲都特别棒。)
9. “Frozen Heart”
9. 《冻结的心》
The movie’s opening number features a chorale of harmonizing ice harvesters (obviously the best kind of ice harvesters) singing about how much they love chopping up ice. We never see or hear from these heftyfellas again, and because the song is basically a giant warning about the dangers of frozen things.
电影的开场曲目是采冰人的合唱的赞歌(显然是善良派的采冰人),表达了对采冰的热爱。之后这些高大健壮的小伙子就再也没有出现,我们也听不到他们的歌声了,因为这首歌基本上是在警告冻结的事物是十分危险的。
===================
8. “Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People”
8. 《驯鹿的心地比人好》
Why even cast Jonathan Groff in a musical if he only gets to sing for 51 seconds, half of which involve “reindeer voice”? I suppose it’s always dreamy listening to Groff sing anything, even for a nanosecond, but damn if I didn’t wish he got a tenor power ballad.
为什么只要在电影里唱个51秒钟,而且一半以上的都是发出“驯鹿叫声”的配音要找大名鼎鼎的乔纳森·格罗夫呢?我想这可能是因为听格罗夫唱任何歌曲,甚至只唱一纳秒都是一种梦一般的享受吧,不过要是我没有希望他来飚个震撼的高音就好了。
7. “For the First Time in Forever (Reprise)”
7. 《好久没在生命里(旋律再现)》
Elsa and Anna’s big confrontation song is also an epiphany song, and the two couple perfectly for a vocal explosion of character self-realization. Kudos to Kristen Bell for even trying to get a belt in edgewise while Idina Menzel chant-riffs all over the place.
这首歌在艾莎和安娜重逢时出现,是一首表现心灵顿悟的歌曲,两位主角把自我顿悟那一刻爆发出的声音的交融展现的非常完美。在由伊迪娜·门泽尔主导的反复的唱段中,克里斯汀·贝尔仍然不时地配合插入自己的唱段的表现值得表扬。
===================
6. “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?”
6. 《你想不想堆雪人》
Sixth place for this charming little prologue will probably upset some folks, but the only good part of this song is the last verse. For what it’s worth, it’s heartbreaking and super super sad, but unfortunately it doesn’t particularly beg for repeat listening, and certainly not above the next five.
第六位是这首极富魅力的短短的序曲,这可能令有些人大失所望,但是这首歌曲的亮点只在最后一段。另外它的优点还在于它听起来令人心碎,而且非常非常伤感,不过这并不能让它白听不厌,因此它当然不能跻身前五位了。
5. “Love Is an Open Door”
5. 《爱的门打开了》
This sickly sweet declaration of romance between Anna and her shady-speedy fiancé Hans is goofy and giddy. The scene in the movie is loaded with laughs, but on the soundtrack, it’s a bright blast of fresh air amid some of the slower numbers.
这首歌是安娜和邪恶的未婚夫汉斯的肉麻而又甜蜜的爱的宣言,听起来有些笨拙盲目又令人眩晕着迷。电影中的这一幕充满了喜剧效果,但是在原声带中,却表现得有如在舒缓的音乐中突然拂来的一股新鲜空气。
===================
4. “For the First Time in Forever”
4. 《好久没在生命里》
Ah, the “I wish” number for a new generation. Bell easily sells the first half of this song with the angelicoptimi *** of a Disney princess and the confident vibrato of a Broadway ingénue, and it’s hard not to love her or what she brings to the princess roster. When Menzel joins in, the magic in Bell’s soaring notes, well, flies. This (along with “Let It Go”) is the top-of-your-lungs shower song you’ve been dreaming of since “Part of Your World.”
嗯,这首是“我希望”的成为一个时代的经典的曲目。贝尔在前半部分轻松地展现了一位迪斯尼公主天使般的乐观和百老汇里天真少女自信的颤音,这令人很难不去喜欢她或者她为迪斯尼公主名单上添的这一笔。当门泽尔唱段开始后,充斥在贝尔高昂音调中的魔力飞舞起来了。这首歌(与《随它吧》)是自从《你的世界》以来能让你痛快得想叫出声来的歌曲。
3. “In Summer”
3. 《在夏天》
Chalk third place up to Josh Gad’s infectious comic charm, which is conveyed even without seeing the shenanigans onscreen. The lyrics are fun and frothy (you can tell the Lopezes had a ball writing this one), and the casual ominousness (“I’ll be doing whatever snow does in summer”) is just hilariously dark.
因为乔什·盖德的喜剧魅力令这首歌占据了第三的位置,这首歌出现时甚至都没有类似恶作剧的搞笑镜头。歌词很有趣也很白话(你可以想象洛佩兹写出这样的歌是多有胆量),随口而出的没头脑的话(“我会做任何雪会在夏天做的事”)
===================
2. “Let It Go”
2. 《随它吧》
Yes, this song should technically be No. 1. Demi Lovato’s cover is fine, but she barely does justice to the impeccable vocals of Menzel, whose Tony-winning voice is bespoke for this lofty song (as the composers told EW). Part “Defying Gravity,” part “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore” , Elsa’s big number is an incredible anthem of liberation, matched by the animators’ spectacular visuals when she shirks her responsibilities and builds a me *** erizing crystalline palace.
好吧,本来黛米·洛瓦托的版本排第一位是无可厚非的,但是她确实与门泽尔完美无瑕的歌声不相上下,赢得托尼奖的门泽尔的歌声简直是为这首高昂大气的歌曲量身定做的(正如作曲家对《娱乐周刊》所说的那样)。“抗拒引力”和“我濒临疯狂,我不想再忍受了”,艾莎的唱段是一首歌颂自由的赞歌,与动画中主角建造出一座魔幻般的城堡以逃避她的责任的桥段十分相配。

1. “Fixer Upper”
1. 《改善目标》
Say whatever you want, but the trolls’ number is hands down the best song in the movie: in fact the jubilant group number that’s going to win over the *** s in the crowd as well as the kids. I don’t know if it’s the random characters, the melody that harkens back to the great Disney classics, or the fabulously random gospel break at the end. I simply can’t stop listening to this song; there’s nothing to fix about it.
说出你想放在首位的歌吧,但是这首轮唱的曲目拿走电影中最佳歌曲简直是易如反掌:实际上,喜气洋洋的合唱歌曲总是会赢走成年人和小孩子的心。我不清楚是不是因为其中的角色和旋律使人回想起迪斯尼的经典作品,还是因为片尾揭示出的真理。我只是没法停下来不听这首歌:简直是无药可救了。
