Larry King Live:红地毯通向的是...厨房?

HILL: Yes, a little bit of stage fright but I'm ready. It's been six years and a lot of planning has gone into this tour. A lot of people have worked （1） hard for many, many, many months and it's time. I'm ready. I do have butterflies. They're big tonight but I'm ready to go.

MCGRAW: She's awesome（a.令人敬畏的）. She's awesome.

KING: She sure is. It doesn't mean, Tim, necessarily because two singers have good voices that they will be a good duet（n.二重奏） or （2） well together right?

MCGRAW: Well, not necessarily I guess. I guess there's people that don't blend well but I think for us, I mean really she's the only person that I can sing harmony with. I'm not much of a harmony singer, so and I think it's because I just hear her voice all the time and I know what she sounds like and I know her phrasing and all that thing.

HILL: Yes.

MCGRAW: So I think...

HILL: You hear me yelling at you, Tim, clean the kitchen.

MCGRAW: Yes, right. I can match her volume.

KING: Faith, did it always work the two of you sing well together?

HILL: Yes. It's always been （3） from the first, the first time that we performed together on stage, which was spontaneous combustion（自燃）.

MCGRAW: 1996, a long time ago.

HILL: Appropriately named. We fell in love on that tour and sang together night after night and it was just beautiful.

KING: How did you two meet?

MCGRAW: The first time we met was a radio （4） in Nashville where every year, you know, all the radio stations come down and artists perform. And they have a thing called like the New Faces Show. And I think this was probably in '95, '94-'95, and Faith and I both did the New Faces Show. And we just met briefly backstage and that was the first time we met, so it wasn't really a meeting.

And then, we did a show together like an outdoor festival show together after we had planned to do the tour and we just, we met there and then we started the tour probably about four months after that.

KING: Was the chemistry instant, Faith?（短语解释）

（提示：chemistry:Mutual attraction or sympathy; rapport: The chemistry was good between the partners. ）

HILL: It was instant, definitely.

MCGRAW: It was for me.

HILL: It was for both of us.

MCGRAW: I think I chased her for a while.

HILL: Something that, you know, trying to be a grown up and smart and we both do the same thing for a living and that's, you know, the cards are kind of all stacked against us in that way.

KING: Yes.

HILL: But that definitely I have to say it went -- that fear went away when I got to know Tim and his desire for a family and a foundation like we grew -- both of us grew up with. Tim is from Louisiana. I'm from Mississippi. And, the foundation of family and the life that  （5） around family when I realized that that was the most important thing for him as well there was no question in my mind at all because that's where it all begins for me too.

MCGRAW: I think also that for us too we both had successful careers and we were -- when we got married we were 29, so it wasn't like we hadn't lived life and been through a lot of things in our life and had grown up a little bit anyway. So, I think it was great timing for us and it was time for us to settle down and have a family and we knew we were right for each other.（翻译长句）
