美国男演员约翰·欧兹反思达里尔·霍尔在诉讼中的合作:“我不喜欢活在过去”

John Oates is proud of his time as one half of the musical duo Hall & Oates, but these days his private eyes are looking forward, not back.
约翰·欧兹为自己作为音乐二人组霍尔和欧兹的一员而感到自豪，但这些天他的私人眼睛正在向前看，而不是向后看。

Amid his ongoing legal battle with ex-bandmate Daryl Hall, Oates said during a recent podcast appearance that he has "moved on" from the Hall & Oates experience. "You can't ignore the fact that the Hall & Oates catalog of hits and the 50-year career will always trump almost anything that Daryl does on his own or I do on my own, which is okay because I'm very proud of that music," Oates said on the latest episode of David Yontef's Behind the Velvet Rope. "I'm really proud of what Daryl and I created together. I think we made music that will stand the test of time."
在与前乐队成员达里尔·霍尔的法律斗争中，欧兹在最近的播客节目中表示，他已经从霍尔和欧兹的经历中“走出去”了。“你不能忽视这样一个事实，即Hall & Oates的金曲和50年的职业生涯将永远超过Daryl自己或我自己做的几乎任何事情，这没关系，因为我对这些音乐感到非常自豪，”Oates在David Yontef的《Behind the Velvet Rope》的最新一集中说。“我真的为我和Daryl一起创造的东西感到骄傲。我认为我们的音乐经得起时间的考验。”

But, Oates added, "I don't like to live in the past." He compared it to a long day spent on one's feet: "I make the analogy of what it's like when you go to a great museum and you're really excited to go and see all the beautiful paintings or the exhibits or whatever it might be, and then near the end, your feet start to hurt and you say, 'You know what? I can't wait to get out of here.' That's kind of how I feel about it."
但是，欧兹补充说，“我不喜欢活在过去。”他把它比作一整天都站在脚上:“我打了一个比方，当你去一个伟大的博物馆，你真的很兴奋，去看所有美丽的画作或展品，或者任何可能的东西，然后快结束时，你的脚开始疼，你说，‘你知道吗?我等不及要离开这里了。”这就是我的感受。”

Hall & Oates formed in the 1970s and rose to prominence with hits including "Maneater," "Private Eyes," and "You Make My Dreams." Oates said those early years of superstardom were "very intense," telling Yontef, "There was no time for reflection. It was a lot of business demands, a lot of heavy demands… Daryl and I were at the top of the pop world. We had number-one record after number-one record. We were traveling around the world constantly. Everyone thinks that that was probably the high point of my life, but to be honest with you, it actually wasn't my favorite time."
Hall & Oates乐队成立于20世纪70年代，凭借《Maneater》、《Private Eyes》和《You Make My Dreams》等热门歌曲而声名鹊起。欧兹说，成为超级明星的最初几年“非常紧张”，他告诉扬特夫，“没有时间反思。有很多商业需求，很多沉重的需求……达里尔和我在流行音乐世界的顶端。我们创造了一张又一张的冠军唱片。我们不断地周游世界。每个人都认为那可能是我人生的高潮，但说实话，那其实不是我最喜欢的时光。”

He added, "I have moved on. It's just a matter of living in my present."
他补充说，“我已经向前看了。这只是活在当下的问题。”

Hall, 77, filed a lawsuit against Oates, 75, last month to prevent him from selling his share of their joint venture Whole Oats Enterprises to Primary Wave Music, claiming that such a move would violate a business agreement between the two. Hall was also granted a temporary restraining order against Oates as part of the legal dispute.
77岁的霍尔上个月对75岁的欧兹提起诉讼，要求阻止他将自己在合资企业Whole Oats Enterprises的股份出售给Primary Wave Music，声称此举将违反两人之间的商业协议。作为法律纠纷的一部分，霍尔还获得了针对欧兹的临时限制令。

Despite their recent quarreling, Oates offered a diplomatic response when EW asked him earlier this month if he'd ever perform with Hall again. "I never say never to anything," he said. "I don't know what's going to happen. I'm focused on where I am in life and leading the best life I can and moving forward."
尽管两人最近发生了争吵，但欧兹在本月早些时候被《娱乐周刊》问及是否会再次与霍尔合作时，做出了外交回应。“我从不对任何事情说不，”他说。“我不知道会发生什么。我专注于我在生活中的位置，尽我所能过最好的生活，继续前进。”
