October 2010
Adam, first of all I want to wish you to stay healthy during upcoming season. Do you have a favorite quote? Thank you! My favorite quote? I'm not sure if I have a "favorite" but there are many I like. The first one that pops into my head is "live each day to its fullest". I love it because it can be applied to so many things and to everyone.
Adam,首先祝你新赛季一切安好。你最喜欢什么?谢谢。————最喜欢的?不确定,要说有“最喜欢的”也有一大堆。我脑子里的第一反应是“每一天要过得充实”。我喜欢这一点,因为它能影响到身边的许多事和每一个人。
What do you use as inspirations for your costumes for the season? Well, before I went to New York to work with Stephanie Handler on my costumes, I tried to study up on the music I was skating to. I went through a lot of pictures of different designers' work with a friend to have an idea of what I wanted/liked. I was really lucky that the ideas I had were very similar to what Stephanie had in mind. It worked out great!
你这个赛季的服装,灵感来自哪里?———— 嗯,在去纽约请Stephanie Handler制作服装前,我试着研究了节目所用的音乐。我和一个朋友一起看了很多不同设计师作品的图片,找到了我想要/喜欢的概念。非常幸运,我的概念跟Stephanie头脑中的很一致。所以合作很成功!
What movie did you cry when you see? What are your favorite movies? Have you seen Japanese movies? My favorite movies are comedies. What can I say? I'm a fun loving guy! I love Superstar, Romy and Michelle's high school reunion, Zoolander... This list could go on and on!
你看哪部电影时哭了?你最喜欢哪部电影?你看过日本电影吗?————我最喜欢的电影是喜剧片。我怎么哭得出呢?我是个爱开心的人!我喜欢看Superstar, Romy和Michelle's high school reunion, Zoolander... 还有好多好多!
Who is your favorite figure skater other than yourself? Favorite skater? So hard to answer, but I'll try... John Curry, Katarina Witt, Janet Lynn, Brian Orser, Brian Boitano, Michelle Kwan. They each brought something really unique and really performed. That's my favorite kind of skating. I could watch them for hours.
除了你自己以外你最喜欢哪位花样滑冰选手?————最喜欢的花滑选手?很难回答,我试试……John Curry, Katarina Witt, Janet Lynn, Brian Orser, Brian Boitano, Michelle Kwan。他们都很独特,很会表现。那是我最喜欢的滑冰方式。我可以连着几小时看他们的节目。
What kind of figure skater would you like to become? I would like to become the kind of skater that younger skaters look up to. I want to be the kind of skater that makes the audience think and feel something when I skate.
你想要成为哪一类的花样滑冰选手?————我想要成为能让年轻选手们崇拜的那种人。希望能在表演时给观众提供一种思想。
Which one of your programs do you like most? Wow! I don't know if I can choose! I love both of my programs so much. When I think of saying I like one more than the other I start to think of all the other things I love about the program I didn't choose. So to answer the question (sort of); I love them both equally! ;)
你最喜欢你的哪套节目?————Wow!不知道能否选出来!两套节目我都太喜欢了。每当想到也许更喜欢这套节目的时候,就会想起另一套节目里让我喜欢的部分。所以这么回答:我对它们的爱是平等的!;)
If you were not a figure skater, what would you do? I have no idea what I would be doing. I can't imagine my life without skating. It's my passion and what is life without passion?!?!
如果你没练花滑,你会做什么?————说不出能干什么。没有滑冰的生活想象不能。那是我的激情所在,生活中怎么可以没有激情?!
What were the best dream and the worst nightmare you've ever had? Best dream? I'm not sure. The good dreams aren't as vivid as the bad ones. The worst dream is probably when I dream of going to a competition and fall on everything. I also hate that dream everyone gets that you're falling and you wake up right before you hit the ground!
你曾经做过的最美的梦和最可怕的噩梦是什么?————美梦?不确定。好梦总是不如噩梦那么生动鲜活。最糟糕的梦可能是梦到去参加一个比赛然后每个动作都摔了。我也很讨厌梦见摔倒,每个人都知道的,刚好在摔到地上之前醒来!
What do you do to completely relax? I usually put some good music on and light a candle to really chill out. FYI, real men light candles.
你是怎么做到彻底放松的?————我通常会放一些好听的音乐,点上一支蜡烛,让自己完全平静。FYI(供你参考),真男人才点蜡烛。(这是啥名言啊。。。)
Coming from an aspiring male figure skater I am wondering how it was for you to ice skate when you were growing up? Did you have a group of supportive friends? Having a group of supportive friends is really important. When I was in school I was really proud to be a skater and of what I was doing. As far as teasing, I never took any of it personally. It never is personal, it's just said to make other people laugh and I think because I have a good sense of humor, it never bothered me. If you enjoy what you do, don't let anyone bring you down!
作为一名有所追求的男子花滑选手,我不知你在成长过程中是怎样练习滑冰的?你有一群很支持你的朋友吗?————有一群支持我的朋友是很重要的。当我在学校时,我对自己所做的事,作为滑冰选手,非常自豪。至于被人取笑,我从没把这个当做是针对我个人的。那不是针对个人的,只是让别人笑而已,我觉得那是因为我很有幽默感,所以从来不会为这事烦恼。要是你对自己所做的事感到快乐,就不要被别人打击到。(小卷毛还是蛮强势的,或者说阿Q精神)
If you could be any superhero, which would you be and why? I would be Superman because he can fly.
要是你能够成为某个英雄,你想成为哪一位?————我想成为超人,因为他能飞。
Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet" and "Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2" are enduringly popular. The music pieces are one of the most played piece by famous pianists. Whose performance is your pick? I had a big say in my music this year but David Wilson knows so much about picking the perfect arrangement. My short program is performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and my long by the London Symphony Orchestra.
柴可夫斯基的罗密欧与朱丽叶,以及拉赫玛尼诺夫第二钢琴协奏曲,是永远的经典。这些音乐是钢琴家最为常见的演奏曲目。你选择的是哪些演出?————今年我对音乐有了更多发言权,不过David Wilson非常精通于选择最好的选段。我的短节目是芝加哥交响乐团演奏的,自由滑是伦敦交响乐团演奏的。
You skated in several shows with Alexei Yagudin, Evgeni Plushenko, Daisuke Takahashi, Evan Lysacek, Stephane Lambiel and Jeffrey Buttle. What impression did you get from the excellent men single skaters? How does that experience affect you? Skating in the shows with all of those World and Olympic champions was a great experience. I wanted to learn from them so I made sure to watch how they prepared for their programs and how they skated. It was a lot to take in but what a way to learn!
你在一些商演中跟Alexei Yagudin, Evgeni Plushenko, Daisuke Takahashi, Evan Lysacek, Stephane Lambiel 和Jeffrey Buttle一起演出过。你对这些优秀男单选手的印象是什么?这些经历对你有什么影响?————在商演中跟那些世界冠军和奥运冠军们一起演出是很不错的经历。我想跟他们学习,这样能够看到他们是如何准备节目和如何滑行的。 我学到了那么多,而且这种学习方式太棒了!
Adam you make some beautiful catch foot spins so I was wondering if you able to do a Biellmann spin? Have you ever practiced it? When I was younger I did practice Biellmann spins.

How many siblings do you have? And how often do you see your brothers and sisters? I have three brothers and two sisters. I don't get to see them often enough. I really miss them while I'm away. I do have the chance to see them about four or five times a year which is always a lot of fun.
你有几个弟妹?你多久能见到他们一次?————我有三个弟弟两个妹妹。我很少能见到他们。我出门在外总是在想念他们。每年我大约有四到五次机会见到他们,每次都特开心。
