jジョージ・サンプソン Living The Dream (パート1b)書き取り

BGT

Living The Dreamの続き。
ＢＧＴ2007のオーディションに落ちてから、リベンジを誓って2008年に再チャレンジ、優勝するまで。
印象的なせりふをいくつかピックアップ。
↓ジョージがBGTの難しさについて語っている。

George: Things about Britain's Got Talent, the hardest round, is the judges. If they like you, then you're okay. If they really like you, you know you're safe. And I guess the first year they liked me ??for?? was "okay", and then Piers said, "OK. You were good enough." And that really, that really got you down.
「BGTの一番難しいところは・・・、審査員なんだ。もし審査員が気に入ってくれれば、ぎりぎり合格。もし審査員がかなり気に入ってくれれば、安全域。たぶん、2007年のオーディションでは、僕は「なんとか合格」ってとこだったんだ。ピアーズ（審査員の一人）が「まあまあいいね(good enough)」って言うのを聞いて、がっかりしたよ。」

↓2007年に落ちて思ったこと。

George: I didn't go away in the first year thinking, "I wasn't good enough, maybe I should give it up." I went into the thinking, "I wasn't good enough, next year I will be."　I had a whole year to practice it and practice it and practice it and came back and all depended on one, one moment.
『最初の年に落ちたとき、「合格ラインに達してない(not good enough)なら、あきらめよう」とは思わなかった。「合格ラインに達していないなら、来年こそは達してやる」って思ったんだ。そして、もう一回挑戦するために、まる一年、練習して練習して練習して・・・次の年のオーディションの一瞬にかけたんだ。』

↓再挑戦したジョージについての、審査委員長のサイモンの言葉。

Simon: I was glad that he came back to the second time around because I hadn't forgotten about him. Uh, I wasn't sure, after the moment like that, whether he would come back again, because, you know, you could have your confidence broken. Uh, but he came back and he was a little sheepish the second time I saw him, because uh, he understood what it felt like to be disappointed.
「ジョージが再挑戦してくれてうれしかったよ。彼のことを忘れていなかったからね。ただ、彼がもう一度挑戦してくれるかどうかはわからなかった。だって、一度落ちたら、自信を失ってしまうものだからね。けれど、彼は帰ってきた。今年のオーディションで彼を見たときは、去年に比べて、少しおとなしくなったように見えたよ。たぶん、一度オーディションに落ちて、がっかりした経験があるからだろうね。」

↓ジョージの2008年のセミ・ファイナルのパフォーマンスを見てのサイモンの感想。

Simon: When we saw him on the semi-finals, no one thought this coming, ah, all I can remember is he's standing there, and all comes "Singing In The Rain." "God, he's fourteen years old, he's doing "Singing In The Rain." This is gonna be great!" And then it all kicked off.
『セミ・ファイナルで彼を見たとき、誰も何がおこるか想像しなかったんだ。覚えているのは・・・、彼がステージに立っていて、あの「Singing In The Rain（雨に唄えば）」が聞こえてきて。「おやおや、まだ14歳なのに「雨に唄えば」か。これはどうかな・・・。」と思っていたら、あのパフォーマンスが始まったんだ。』

↓ファイナルについて語るジョージ。倒置法が使われている。

George: If I went tonight, not only will it change my life, it will save my life.
「もしも今夜優勝したら、僕の人生を変えるだけじゃないんだ。僕の人生を救うんだ。」

THE COMEBACK

        • -

George: You've gotta work hard. Boss ??? You know, if I didn't work hard and if I did lazy, for did like if I didn't like an hour, I like free fall??? you could tell, because the money of nine and a half was not much, and that I realized that more work, the more work, the more of hours, the more effort I put into it, I gain more money. And I took that into consideration with the show. The more work, the more work and hour you put into it, ???? I didn't go away in the first year thinking, "I wasn't good enough, maybe I should give it up." I went into the thinking, "I wasn't good enough, next year I will be." I had a whole year to practice it and practice it and practice it and came back and all depended on one, one moment.

George: Yeah.
Simon: Right. And you didn't make it through to the final show, did you?
George: Yeah. To make it through to semis, actually.
Simon: No. For me, I always thought you should've done it, to be honest with you. So, what did you learn...in the last twelve months?
George: Last twelve months, I've trained harder, and I've just got big ??amber??,

THE SEMIFINALS

      • -

George: Amanda was..had the right idea, you know, she ??? and an act of an singer to win this, and I guess her saying that on the semi-finals made me more confident, more confident like, I may have a good chance. And..I went that on that night, I just performed my heart out.

His mom was real state, and he came to see me in the dressing room, his mum, and I just said really simple, ah, "if you don't make the right decision, um, you could regret it for the rest of your life."
