Grammy Awards

Beyoncé's unparalleled vocal range, Taylor Swift's epic transition from sweet country songs to defiant pop,

Ed Sheeran's warming, invigorating interpretation of love and romance,

Bruno Mars' infectious cheerfulness, and Adele's resonant emotional depth.

These famous and hugely successful artists vary greatly in their music styles, but there's one title they all share.

They were all winners of Grammy Awards, the awards that celebrate distinguished achievements in the music industry.

格莱美奖

碧昂丝无与伦比的音域，泰勒·斯威夫特从甜美的乡村歌曲到不屈不挠的流行音乐的史诗般转变，

Ed Sheeran对爱情和浪漫的温暖、充满活力的诠释，

布鲁诺·马尔斯富有感染力的快乐，以及阿黛尔共鸣的情感深度。

这些著名的和非常成功的艺术家在他们的音乐风格上差异很大，但是他们都有一个共同的头衔。

他们都是格莱美奖的获奖者，格莱美奖是庆祝音乐界杰出成就的奖项。

Every year, the Grammys ceremony is a musically rich spectacle that both treats your ears to and indulges your eyes with over three hours of breath-taking performances.

The idea of establishing the award can be traced back to the 1950s when the Hollywood Walk of Fame project was collecting names of artists to be carved into its star-shaped rocks.

Big names like Michael Jackson and John Lennon, the famed member of the Beatles, came up in the process.

However, the selection committee came to realize that there still existed a large number of accomplished artists whose names didn't make the cut.

In order to recognize their contribution to the history of music, they proposed to set up an award expressly devoted to the music industry.

When gathering ideas on how to name the award, they eventually settled on Grammy,

paying tribute to the invention of gramophone, an old-fashioned, classic device for playing music records.

Echoing Grammys' origin story, its trophy takes the shape of a golden gramophone securely placed on top of a golden plate.每年的格莱美颁奖典礼都是一个音乐丰富的盛会，通过三个多小时的精彩表演，让你耳目一新，赏心悦目。

设立这个奖项的想法可以追溯到20世纪50年代，当时好莱坞星光大道项目正在收集艺术家的名字，并将其刻在星星形状的岩石上。

像迈克尔·杰克逊和披头士乐队著名成员约翰·列侬这样的大牌人物也在这个过程中出现。

然而，评选委员会开始意识到，仍然有大量的有成就的艺术家，他们的名字没有入选。

为了表彰他们在音乐史上的贡献，他们提议设立一个专门致力于音乐产业的奖项。

在收集如何命名奖项的想法时，他们最终选择了格莱美，

向留声机的发明致敬，留声机是一种老式的、经典的音乐唱片播放设备。

与格莱美的起源故事相呼应，它的奖杯形状是一个金色的留声机，安全地放在一个金色的盘子上。

One thing you might not know about it is that the winning artists' names are only inscribed onto their trophies after they accept their awards during the ceremony.

As a result, the trophies that you see them holding onstage while you watch the ceremony live on television are not their real ones and are merely for show.

Those "fake" ones are then recycled for the ceremony year after year, from one group of artists to another.

Awards sorted by genres are announced each year, from the best rap song to the best country music.

Over time, more genres have been included as modern music and popular tastes evolved.

However, four important award categories take on a level of significance that other awards simply can't beat.

They are Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist有一件事你可能不知道，获奖艺术家的名字只会在颁奖典礼上接受奖项后刻在奖杯上。

因此，当你在电视上观看颁奖典礼时，你看到他们在台上举着的奖杯并不是真正的奖杯，只是为了炫耀而已。

然后，这些“假的”年复一年地被回收，从一组艺术家到另一组艺术家。

每年都会公布按流派分类的奖项，从最佳说唱歌曲到最佳乡村音乐。

随着时间的推移，随着现代音乐和流行口味的演变，更多的流派被纳入其中。

然而，四个重要奖项的重要性是其他奖项无法超越的。

他们是年度专辑、年度唱片、年度歌曲和最佳新人

One thing worth noting is that all the four awards transcend genre, so that you might see jazz music simultaneously competing against metal music.

Although professional music critics don't always concur with the lists of winners, and viewers from time to time complain about its declining quality,

the ceremony is still one of the biggest pageantries of music that has thousands of music lovers anticipating its arrival each year.

有一点值得注意的是，这四个奖项都超越了流派，所以你可能会看到爵士音乐同时与金属音乐竞争。

虽然专业音乐评论家并不总是赞同获奖名单，观众也不时抱怨其质量下降，

这个仪式仍然是最大的音乐盛会之一，每年都有成千上万的音乐爱好者期待着它的到来。

㈠当一块镜破碎，水银和玻璃显露，更觉它的深沉。水银有毒，而据说吃水银是炼仙法之一；至于玻璃，处于透明和歪曲之间，碎了又容易伤人。

镜中的容貌永远被染上一层阴霾，立体的人和物被拉成一块冰硬的图案。镜破之后，风景、面容狰狞地咧嘴笑。啊，原来那是水银这毒物拼凑的假象——和人生真相斗脆弱。

所以，还是古老的铜镜好。索性只昭示模糊的影像，没有欺骗你的企图，而且摔不破

㈡黄昏，落叶吸收了夕阳之晖，这一刻还不是余晖。黄叶金黄，红叶披霜。风推过我的背，又去赶落叶，黄色的落叶却在我的前面追赶霞光。

这时索性放慢些脚步，心随云徜徉。“陈绿向参差，初红已重叠。中庭初扫地，绕树三两叶。”五彩，装点了岁月的滩涂。每一棵树下，铺满黄叶。

头上的斜阳，似乎要翻晒人生的经历，脚下沙沙作响的树叶，似乎在数着人生的余程。我看着树影斜投在树下，落叶覆盖了路面，却覆盖不住树影，虽然落叶会依然缤纷。看着落叶，我们总会想起点什么。撰有《老残游记》的刘鹗也由落叶想到了自己：“落叶别树，飘零随风。客无所托，悲与此同。念彼落叶，犹可为薪；用熟五谷，以饱饥人。虽委弃之余，其德足以伸。吁嗟乎，吾不及落叶之仁。”反思的人，心中有仁。

这一切诠释着一个道理，在这云淡风轻的人间，执着于一，纠结心外，何如随心？黄叶，红叶，青叶，并无悲哀之色。不管什么颜色，都饱含着对根的记忆，都是一次华丽的转身——不徐不疾，从容大度，内心的欢喜掩饰不住。

㈢把霞光披在身上，我想再走慢一些，等一等我那有点分了心的灵魂。

长久以来，总觉得商人间除了利益倾轧难有情谊，无奸不商是所有生意人的标签，而今夜，这两个男人间的深情，竟也这般令人动容。

㈣外面雷鸣闪电，下着倾盆大雨，雨幕像白色的围墙将世界隔断。我站在空无一人的诊室里，享受难得的悠闲。

父母子女之间的爱，最容易是恶颜恶色的。但恶颜恶色，也是爱呀！
