Emily Goldberg
I think I might go home tomorrow
我明天可能会回家。
Tim Bergling
:(
Emily Goldberg
Babe, ever since we had that
talk I’ve started to notice how
uninterested you are, how ur
really tired and how your focus is
100% studio, in and out of it, and
I just get sad being around you
when I can tell ur not interested in me anymore
宝贝，自从那次谈话之后，我开始注意到你有多么不感兴趣，你非常疲惫，而且你的注意力完全在工作室里，进出都是如此。当我能感觉到你对我不再感兴趣时，我在你身边会感到难过。
Tim Bergling
I am.
我对你感兴趣。
Emily Goldberg
and I was prepared for the studio
to be 100 percent ur main focus but
I wasn’t prepared for u not to be
attracted to me
我准备好了工作室成为你的主要关注点，但我没有准备好你对我没有兴趣。
Tim Bergling
I mean I can’t talk abt this now
我现在不能谈论这个。
There was nothing wrong with the surroundings; on the contrary. Emily liked the coolness and shadows of Tanager Way. There were many rooms, the ceilings high. The best part was the two toilets connected by an elongated, shared bathroom. Finally, there was some personal space and mysticism after all the months on the tour bus and in hotel rooms.
周围的环境并没有什么不妥，相反，Emily喜欢唐纳街的凉爽和阴影。这里有许多房间，天花板很高。最棒的是两个厕所通过一个长形的共用浴室相连。在旅游巴士和酒店房间里待了几个月之后终于有了一些个人空间和神秘感。
But Emily Goldberg did not feel good in the late winter of 2013. She had begun to feel that she worked for Avicii rather than being Tim’s girlfriend. When the guys over in Stockholm couldn’t get hold of Tim – and they very rarely could right now – they chased her instead. Emails and text messages and phone calls that Emily could not sift through at all. In the flood of commitments, what was important and what could be opted out of? How could she judge that? Everything in Tim’s world felt unbelievably important.
但是在2013年的晚冬，Emily Goldberg感觉不太好。她开始觉得自己是为了Avicii而工作，而不是作为Tim的女朋友。当斯德哥尔摩的那些人找不到Tim时——现在他们很少能找到他——他们就会去找Emily。那些电子邮件、短信和电话让Emily无从筛选。在纷至沓来的承诺中，什么重要，什么可以放弃？她该如何判断？在Tim的世界里，所有事情都重要得令人难以置信。
And while her boyfriend was making his big debut album, she had become almost completely insignificant, so it felt.
当她的男朋友正在制作他的首张专辑时，她几乎变得无足轻重了。
Tim sat in the studio all day, rarely coming home before three in the morning. He woke up late in the afternoon and immediately got into an Uber and drove back to Santa Monica.
Tim整天呆在工作室，很少在凌晨三点之前回家。他下午起床得很晚，然后立即打车回到圣莫尼卡。
He took more and more pills. Apparently, he had quickly developed a level of tolerance for the medicine he had started taking a year earlier. By now he needed extra pills to achieve the same effect of relaxation and relief as before.
他开始服用越来越多的药物。显然，他很快对他一年前开始服用的药物产生了耐药性。现在他需要额外的药物才能达到和之前相同的放松和缓解效果。
That seemed to be what he needed to ease the pain.
这似乎是他减轻痛苦所需要的。
In addition to the album, Tim would this spring make an advertising collaboration with the Swedish telecom company Ericsson. He had written a short chord progression to start from, then the idea was that fans from around the world would send in bass lines and drumbeats and effects that would be put together piece by piece into a single song. Ericsson wanted to demonstrate that their infrastructure made it possible for the whole world to be connected. At Night would be visible on thousands of people’s social media: vote for my drums, my break, my effects!
除了专辑外，Tim还将在今年春季与瑞典电信公司爱立信进行广告合作。他先写了一段简短的和弦，然后让世界各地的粉丝发送低音线、鼓声和混音效果，最终将这些元素拼接成一首歌曲。爱立信希望证明，他们的基础设施可以让整个世界连成一体。At Night网站将会出现在成千上万人的社交媒体上：为我的鼓点、我的间奏、我的效果投票！
Emily had learned Tim’s pattern by now. When he was asked, he almost always thought that such a commitment was cool – he also wanted his music to be as widespread as possible. The assignment was often six months ahead of time and was still abstract enough for him to say yes.
Emily现在已经了解了Tim的模式。当被问及时，他总是认为这样的承诺很酷——他也希望自己的音乐尽可能广泛地传播。任务通常提前半年，而且对他来说足够抽象，让他可以答应。
When it later came to the actual implementation, it became more difficult. The commitments piled up the closer Tim got to them, until even basic things felt insurmountable. An email became impossible to answer, a phone call turned into the world’s highest mountain.
到了实际执行阶段时，情况变得更加困难。Tim越接近承诺，承诺就越堆越多，直到连最基本的事情也无法解决。一封电子邮件变得无法回复，一个电话变成了世界上最高的山峰。
The collaboration with Ericsson seemed to feel just like that for him. A couple of unfortunate Swedish advertisers had flown to Los Angeles to produce a film about the project – they wanted to follow Tim’s work in the studio and do some short interviews. Tim avoided them like the plague.
与爱立信的合作对他来说似乎就是这样。几个倒霉的瑞典广告商飞到洛杉矶制作关于这个项目的电影——他们想跟随Tim在录音室里的工作并进行一些短暂的采访。Tim像避开瘟疫一样躲避他们。
More and more often, Emily Goldberg felt that she too had become a burden on her boyfriend, something he needed to tick off the to-do list. They never ate together any more. If Tim had anything at all, it was tacos or pizza, just what the doctors had advised against, before he sat down in front of the computer again.
Emily Goldberg越来越感到自己也变成了男友的负担，成为了他需要完成的任务清单上的一项。他们再也没有一起吃过饭。如果Tim吃了什么，那就是玉米卷或披萨，这正是医生建议他不要吃的，然后他就又坐在电脑前了。
Despite the intensive work on the record, the touring would continue. In mid-February 2013, Tim flew to Argentina, to where Ultra Music Festival had now expanded.
尽管唱片制作工作紧张，但巡演仍在继续。2013年2月中旬，Tim飞往阿根廷，参加已扩展到该地的Ultra音乐节。
For a while now, there had been a couple of important staff additions to the road crew.
一段时间以来，巡演团队中新增了几个重要的工作人员。
One of the new employees was Harry Bird, a young Brit who was behind large parts of Swedish House Mafia’s visual expression. His company Comix produced evocative film sequences that would make the audience feel Avicii’s songs even more in their stomachs. On huge screens behind Tim, animated flames of fire, flashing cobwebs and winding tunnels now rolled. Harry himself stood in the so-called front of house, an enclosed section in the middle of the audience from where the sound was handled, and in real time matched up the various film clips with the songs that Tim was playing.
其中一名新员工是Harry Bird，一位年轻的英国人，他负责了瑞典浩室黑手党的大部分视觉表现。他的公司Comix制作了引人入胜的电影片段，让观众对Avicii的歌曲更加感同身受。在Tim身后的巨大屏幕上，动画火焰、闪烁的蜘蛛网和蜿蜒的隧道不断滚动。Harry自己站在所谓的前台，也就是观众席中间的一个封闭区域，从那里处理音响效果，并实时将各种影片与Tim正在播放的歌曲配合起来。
Also on the tour was the new production manager Charlie Alves, a big and blunt guy from Chicago who had toured with the performance group Blue Man Group and the crooner Michael Bublé. He ran around the huge lighting rigs and stage constructions and shouted in his headset, making sure that everyone in the production played together.
这次巡演中还有新的制作经理Charlie Alves，他来自芝加哥，身材魁梧、坦率直接，他曾与表演团体Blue Man Group和歌手Michael Bublé一起巡演。他在巨大的灯光设备和舞台结构中奔跑，戴着耳机大喊，确保制作团队中的每个人都能协作配合。
They were both welcome new acquisitions – Tim and Harry had quickly realised that they both loved The Office and developed a secret language based on facial expressions borrowed from Ricky Gervais’s cocky boss character in the series. Charlie had been nicknamed Sergeant Bilko, after the talkative military commander in the 90s movie of the same name.
他们都是受欢迎的新成员——Tim和Harry很快发现他们都喜欢看《办公室风云》，于是他们开发了一种秘密语言，参考了剧中Ricky Gervais饰演的自大老板的面部表情。Charlie的绰号是Bilko中士，取自上世纪90年代同名电影中那个健谈的军事指挥官。
Forty thousand South Americans were watching Avicii bounce in the booth, illuminated by pyro and strobe light.
四万名南美观众正在观看Avicii在碟机后面跳动，被烟火和闪光灯照亮。
When Tim stepped off the stage, he was dripping with sweat, the adrenalin rushed through him. The tension of standing alone in front of so many people was impossible to get used to. When they got back to the hotel, he turned to production manager Charlie Alves.
当Tim走下舞台时，他全身湿透了，肾上腺素飙升。独自站在这么多人面前的紧张感让他无法适应。当他们回到酒店时，他转向制作经理Charlie Alves。
‘I don’t wanna go to bed.’
“我不想睡觉。”
‘What you up to?’
“那你想干什么？”
‘I’m gonna come by your room and we’re gonna raid your minibar.’
“我要来你的房间，我们要搜刮你的迷你酒吧。”
Tim ignored the doctors’ warnings. Sure, sometimes when he drank alcohol the stomach pains crept in again, but what the hell? He was twenty-three years old, when else would he be allowed to go and wind down if not after a gig in front of forty thousand people?
Tim无视了医生的警告。当然，他喝酒时，胃痛偶尔会悄悄袭来，但管他呢？他已经23岁了，否则在四万人面前演出之后他还能做什么来放松呢？
As the sun rose over Buenos Aires, they sat on the balcony of Charlie’s room, opening small bottles of spirits and wine and talking about life and the universe. When the minibar was empty, they ordered champagne and, eight hours later, the lunch rush could be heard down the street.
当太阳从布宜诺斯艾利斯上空升起时，他们坐在Charlie房间的阳台上，打开小瓶烈酒和葡萄酒，谈论着生活和宇宙。当迷你酒吧空了之后，他们点了香槟，八个小时后，街上传来了午餐时分的喧闹声。
Then it was off to Spain. At a gathering for the telecom industry, the song that had been made together with the fans would be presented. Filip Holm and Marcus Lindgren had sat on Styrmansgatan through the nights and listened to thirteen thousand entries, one bass line worse than the next. Since the components came separately, it had proved impossible to get a feel for how the pieces of the puzzle would sound together and, in the end, it had still been Tim who’d had to paste everything together into somewhat of a song. Nonetheless, it was now called ‘Avicii X You’.
然后他们又前往西班牙。在电信行业的一次聚会上，他们将展示与歌迷共同创作的歌曲。Filip Holm和Marcus Lindgren曾在Styrmansgatan熬夜听了13,000个录音，低音线一个比一个糟糕。由于各个组成部分是分开的，无法了解拼图的各个部分组合在一起的声音效果，最终，Tim不得不把所有东西拼凑在一起，制作出一首歌曲——Avicii X You。
In front of the suits in Barcelona, Tim was interviewed by Ericsson’s CEO Hans Vestberg, before they went and ate together with Arash, Per Sundin from Universal, and a sales manager at Ericsson.
在巴塞罗那，Tim接受了Ericsson的CEO Hans Vestberg的采访，之后他们与Arash、环球唱片公司的Per Sundin和Ericsson的销售经理共进晚餐。
Per Sundin was a little surprised that Tim had red wine with his meal – he had heard that Tim wasn’t drinking any more – but didn’t want to protest.
Per Sundin有点惊讶，Tim的餐食搭配红酒，因为他听说Tim已经戒酒了，但他不想反对。
The next day, 27 February 2013, the plane took off for the Future Music Festival in Australia.
第二天，即2013年2月27日，飞机起飞前往澳大利亚的未来音乐节。
