快乐男声:触动心声
导读：快乐男声决赛正在如火如荼的进行中。在10进8的比赛中，拥有偶像(idol)外型的吴俊余遭淘汰，现在观众们终于可以将注意力转移到选手的歌声上来了。就让我们一起来回顾胜出者的完美声音并推荐一些适合他们驾驭的歌曲。
在聆听了各种或好或坏、或普通或怪异的声音之后，湖南卫视主办的《快乐男声》终于步入了决赛环节。经历过7月23日的那场比赛后，23万名选手中只有8名过关。
After all the good, the odd, the average, and the bad voices, Hunan TV’s Super Boy is finally shifting into finals mode. Only eight of the 230,000 hopefuls remained on-stage after the competition on July 23.
这一周的节目中，以往的比赛模式被打破，很多粉丝也因此抱怨赛程过于复杂难懂。所以从现在开始，每场比赛都只安排两轮PK环节。
The show’s old format was revamped for this week’s edition, as many fans complained that it was too complicated to follow. So each episode now features just two rounds of competition.
资深评委巫启贤和高晓松也再次带着犀利点评和敏锐乐感回归舞台。
Also, veteran judges Eric Wu and Gao Xiaosong are back – along with their sharp tongues and ears.

陈翔，20岁
Chen Xiang, 20,
就读于四川音乐学院绵阳艺术学院
Sichuan Conservatory of Music-Mianyang Arts College
这位唱着流行音乐的“忧郁王子”拥有一副水晶般清澈流畅的好嗓音，触动人心。再加上精致柔和的男中音，他优美的舞台表现迷倒了众多观众。当他谈着吉他低声吟唱悲伤情歌和民谣时，我们再也无法控制心中的那份音乐柔情。
The melancholy prince of pop music has a voice that is crystal-clear and smooth. It touches the soul. In addition to his exquisite, velvety baritone, he has swept many completely off their feet with his elegant stage presence. When he croons mushy romantic songs and ballads while playing a guitar, there’s just no way that we can handle any more musical tenderness.
[注释: Velvety 意为“天鹅绒般的”，常用来形容嗓音“柔和，流畅，圆润的”。]
推荐曲目
For Chen Xiang
德雷克的单曲《Find Your Love》 Find Your Love by Drake
来自美国说唱歌手德雷克的《Find Your Love》是一首中速民谣，在公告牌单曲排行榜中位居前十。尽管与陈翔相比，德雷克的嗓音更加地雄厚老练，但陈翔的温柔嗓音能够驾驭任何一种民谣。因为具备在演唱中诠释内心情感的能力，这名中国选手一定能够传递出歌曲中表达的甜蜜的忧伤。
The US hip-hop singer’s top-ten Billboard single, Find Your Love, is a mid-tempo ballad. Drake’s voice sounds thicker and more sophisticated than Chen’s, but Chen’s tender voice would fit any kind of ballad. And with his ability to interpret deep emotion when singing, the Chinese contestant will be able to deliver the song’s bittersweet message.
王野，23岁，来自辽宁
Wang Ye, 23, Liaoning
拥有超过一米八的身高，王野给人以充满力量的印象。他拥有一副深沉有力、充满爆发力的嗓音，声音略带沙哑却不失情深。他可以轻松演绎节奏强劲的摇滚乐。尽管有时他显得有点声嘶力竭。同时他的演唱技巧尚欠火候，这也使得他的歌听上去有些瑕疵。
At more than 180cm tall, Wang gives off an image of power. He has a deep, commanding, powerhouse voice that is both a little husky and yet soulful, too. He can easily pull off the most fierce rock songs. Sometimes, though, he shouts a little too much. And his insufficient vocal technique makes his singing less easy on the ear.
[注释: Powerhouse voice 是指声音充满了力量，充满爆发力。]
推荐曲目
For Wang Ye
安立奎•伊格莱西亚斯的《I Like It》 I Like It by Enrique Iglesia
这名西班牙歌手的嗓音充满力量与激情，这点同王野的演唱方式十分吻合。这首热门单曲出自安立奎的新专辑《Euphoria》，歌曲中安立奎很好地演绎出如何将情感融入到节奏强劲的舞曲中，在展现性感的同时又兼顾深情。或者通过这种演唱方式，王野能够突破自我。
The power and passion in the Spanish singer’s voice fits perfectly with Wang‘s singing style. This hit single from Enrique Iglesias’s new album Euphoria is a good example of how Iglesia can put emotion into a dance song with strong beats – being both sentimental and sexy at the same time. Maybe that approach will be just the thing to turn Wang into a breakthrough artist.
刘心，22岁，来自辽宁
Liu Xin, 22, Liaoning
一顶草帽，大大的黑框眼镜，这位R&B创作型歌手将可爱外表以及酷酷的嗓音结合起来。他的嗓音富有磁性且灵活多变，令人赞叹的宽广音域适合演绎R&B曲风。但为了成为一位完美R&B歌手，胖乎乎的刘心也许要多点锻炼才行。
In his straw hat and big, black-framed glasses, the R&B singer-songwriter combines a cute look with a cool voice. He has a magnetic and flexible voice with an impressive vocal range that’s well-suited to the R&B genre. But to be a perfect R&B songster, the less-than-slim Liu may need to start exercising a little more.
[注释: Magnetic 可形容嗓音“有磁性，有吸引力的”，flexible 是指能够在不同的音高之间灵活转换。]
推荐曲目
For Liu Xin
Jason Derülo的《Ridin’ Solo》 Ridin’ Solo by Jason Derülo
刘心富有节奏感的声音十分适合演绎《Ridin’ Solo》这首歌曲，作为美国R&B歌手Jason Derülo最新专辑中的热门单曲，它已经拿下了英国R&B单曲榜的冠军，并成为公告牌排行榜Top 10单曲。这首节奏欢快的R&B歌曲显得有点缺乏原创性，倘若由刘心来演绎想必听上去会更有趣。毕竟，他很善于抓住时机，调动声音来将歌中蕴含的情绪放大。
Liu’s rhythmic voice would find a home in Ridin’ Solo, American R&B singer Jason Derülo’s hit single off his debut album, which has topped the UK R&B Chart and reached the Top 10 on Billboard. This buttoned-down R&B song with an upbeat tempo may sound like more fun when Liu sings it. After all, he knows exactly when to deploy his lilt to ramp up a song’s melodrama.
