1：They can't bullshit to each other (1994)
:What's about the stories about rows with your brother?
Noel: “The thing about brothers, the thing between me and him, is ... he can bullshit to other people and they believe him and I can bullshit to other people, but we can't bullshit to each other because we've known each other for too long. Brothers are always competitive anyway. Aren't they?”

他俩无法糊弄对方
XX：有关你和你弟弟相互争吵的事到底是怎么一回事？
诺伯：关于兄弟这件事，我和他之间的事，是：他可以和别人胡说八道，同时人们会相信他的话；我也会和别人胡说八道，但是我们两个之间，我们俩相互之间却无法这样做，因为我们已经了解对方太久了。不管怎样，兄弟间总是会相互较劲的，不是吗？
2.Liam seemingly totally under Noel's thumb (1994)

Liam似乎完全屈服于Noel之下
烂姆：“Noel 不让我写歌，不过我也的确不会写”
3.Up there with the Beatles (1994)
Liam: “I think we will be the most important band in the fucking world. If time is on our side and there’s not much bad shit and no one dies, then we’ll be the new Beatles. We’ll mean just as much because Noel’s written about 200 fucking songs that nobody’s ever heard and everyone of them is a fucking classic.”
和披头士一样闪耀在高空
烂姆：“我觉得我们会成为这个该死的世界上最为重要的乐队。如果时机对我们有利，没有乱七八糟的东西缠着我们而且我们当中没有人死的话，那我们就会成为新的披头士。我们的地位会和披头士一样重要，因为Noel已经写了大概200首别人从没听过的该死的歌，而每一首都他妈的非常经典。”
4.Noel spent the 80s unsuccessfully trying to musically educate Liam (1994)
“Liam shared a room with me for years, he didn’t know what the fuck he was going on about, until the Stone Roses (in 1989), and he could totally identify with Ian Brown. And I went, ‘Now d’you know what I’ve been talking about for the past 10 years?”

A sidenote: in a Stone Roses biography, John Squire remembers accidental meetings with Noel and Liam on the streets of Manchester in early 90s. So at least then they must have hung out together quite a bit.
Noel在整个80年代不算成功地努力着使Liam获得音乐方面的教育
“Liam和我共用了一个房间许多年，他当时完全不知道自己要做些什么，直到石玫瑰出现（1989），他可以完全把自己和Ian Brown 认同起来。我和他说：“现在你知道在过去整整十年里我一直在说的是什么了？”
旁注：在石玫瑰的一本自传中，john squire回忆到在90年代早期自己在曼城街头几次偶遇Noel和Liam的事情。这样看来他俩当时应该经常一起出去玩。
5.Noel sees Liam as a cosmic guy (1994)
Noel: “Our kid tends to take everything fuckin’ literally. He’s a bit of a cosmic guy, a bit up in the sky. He believes in spirituality and all that. I believe in black and white.”
Source: Oasis Talking: the Gallaghers in their own words (Omnibus Press, 2006)
Noel 视Liam为有宇宙观的家伙
诺伯：“我弟弟习惯把每件事都看得他妈的非常认真。他有点像有着宇宙感的家伙，有点飘忽在空中。他相信精神方面的东西和所有的那些。我相信非黑即白。”
6.Noel not happy with Liam's household habits (1994)
“I live with the guy and that’s what he is. He’s a fucking slob.”

Noel不喜欢Liam的日常生活习惯
“我和他住在一块儿，他就那样。他是个该死的懒虫。”
7.I don’t think I’d let anyone else to do it if it wasn’t him (1994)
Noel: “Liam sings the way I want him to. I don’t think I’d let anyone else to do it if it wasn’t him.”

除了他之外，我觉得我不会让其他任何人做这件事
Noel：“Liam唱歌的方式正是我想要他做到的那种。除了他以外，我不认为我还会让任何人做这件事。”
8."Brothers are brothers. Love is love" (1994/1996)
Sitting back in the room with the band it transpired that Noel had blagged his passport, $1000 and a bag of pro-plus. How? Why? Where had Noel gone? One scribbled phone number was the line, all there was to hang on to. The band were arsed about the band. Even the kid was concerned about one thing only – Noel. Brothers are brothers. Love is love.

兄弟就是兄弟，爱就是爱
和整个乐队呆在一个房间里，（我）坐在后面，一切的一切都在揭露一个事实:Noel已经取走了自己的护照，1000美元的现金，和一袋pro-plus. 怎么会这样？为什么会这样？Noel到底去哪了？一个潦草的电话号码就是他留下的所有信息，能依靠的也只有那个狂草的电话号码了。整个乐队都在为乐队烦心。甚至那个孩子（Liam同学）所关心的也只有一件事——Noel。兄弟就是兄弟，爱就是爱。
9.Noel clearing yet another person from Liam's life (1994)
Liam’s night is being ruined by a petite, sexy wild-eyed blonde, all curves and high heels; a feather boa tickles her tits. They are screaming at each other. This, apparently, is Cerisse, Liam’s girlfriend. Her raison d’etre has been to crawl into his head; everyone saw it but Liam; it took a brother to give him he good news. I know none of this, it’s just another shouting match to me.

Noel把又一个人从Liam的生活中清除了出去
Liam晚上的生活正被一个娇小的，性感媚眼的金发女摧残着，她有着一头漂亮的卷发，爱穿高跟鞋，脖子上的长围巾在胸前荡来荡去。他们总是对着对方尖叫。很明显，她指的是Cerisse, Liam的女友。她的存在正慢慢地侵蚀着他的头脑，除了Liam每个人都看得出这一点。这种情况下，他需要一个哥哥向他提出好的建议。（提建议这方面）我一无所知，对我来说，这是又一场大声嚷嚷的争吵。
10.Noel goes AWOL in 1994 (1997)
Liam was going out of his mind, absolutely. He was sitting and staring at the wall. He just could not contemplate Oasis not being together. Meanwhile, Tim Abbot, on a rescue mission and having found Noel in San Francisco, made secret phonecalls, as “especially Liam had demanded that he keep them informed as to Noel’s state of mind. I’d go out and phone and Liam would be saying, ‘I’m not bothered about anything as long as he is all right.’” Eventually Noel comes back: ‘Noel came down and straight away it’s all love and kisses, and Liam, more than anyone, is like ‘come here brother.’”

1994年的巡演途中，Noel离开了乐队，但没退出乐队
Liam完全气疯了。他就那样坐着，一直盯着墙看。他实在无法考虑Oasis的成员并不呆在一起这一事实。与此同时，承担着补救职责的Tim Abbot发现Noel正在旧金山，于是和他进行了秘密的电话通话，“Liam还特别要求Noel要让他们知道他心里现在是怎么想的。每当我要出去打电话，Liam就会在旁边说，“只要他一切安好，我不会对任何事生气的。”最后Noel还是回来了，“Noel走了过来，立马就是无尽的爱意环绕，还有不断的亲吻，而Liam，不同于其他人，像是召唤他的哥哥：“到我这边来，哥哥。”
