这是我好不容易从对话表里面按照顺序排好的。现在看看 Ellen McLain(GLaDOS 的配音演员)说了什么:
[Ellen McLain:GLaDOS 的配音演员]当他们告诉我结尾的时候还要唱首歌时,我就寻思着,哪个来写这首歌呢?他们告诉我这首歌将由 Jonathan Coulton 来创作。之后我聆听了 Jonathan 创造的这首歌曲,这歌算是有趣又活泼的了。当然我就想,让我唱倒是没问题, 但我是唱歌剧的,我每天唱的都是 [歌剧唱腔]。我考虑的是,我能够把握这首歌曲的风格吗?真让我担心呐。但后来在录音前,他们把这首歌曲的 mp3 文件发给了我。这次是 Jonathan 演唱的,我听着听着, 不自觉地爱上了这首小曲儿。在家的时候,我趁着练歌的间隙,你知道,尝试着采用些 GLaDOS 的声音。里面有句“Aperture Science…”,就是这台可怜,虽然被动但又带有侵略性的电脑,她一直都孤独着,直到人们想要闯入并杀掉她。所以她当然会不安。但是,她好像 … 似乎她的不安来自于蛋糕。而且… 我也要玩这个游戏,因为我要改造里面的蛋糕秘方。然后在里面安个“传送门”,当有朋友来我家玩时,我就用这些蛋糕来招待我的朋友们。
[Ellen McLain: Voice of GLaDOS] So when they told me that there was going to be a song at the end, I thought, well, allright, who’s going to write the song? And they told me there was going to be a song written by Jonathan Coulton. And I listened to a song that Jonathan had written, and it was very funny, very clever. So, I thought at that point, well, you know, this’ll be okay. But I am an opera singer, so usually I sing: [opera singing]. And I thought, well, will I be able to have the right style for the song? So I was concerned. But then before the recording, they sent me an mp3 file of the song. And I listened to it with Jonathan singing it. But I loved the little song. And at home, as I practiced the little song, I tried to, you know, get back to GLaDOS’s voice. You know: ‘Aperture Science…’ Just this tiny little passive-aggressive computer who’s all alone until people try to come in and murder her. So of course she gets upset! But she seems… She seems to have this real affinity for cake. And… And I want to play the game because I want to recreate the cake recipe. And then put ‘Portal’ on it, and be able to serve it to my friends when they come over to my house.
呕吐……看来 Ellen 很喜欢这个……那就享受大黄(Rhubarb)吧。
