  Sam Smith had a huge night at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, picking up four awards, three of them in major categories: best new artist and song of the year and record of the year for his Tom Petty-echoing smash hit "Stay With Me."

  But it wasn't quite a clean sweep. Beck surprised everyone with an album of the year win for “Morning Phase.” And Kanye West tried to upstage his own infamous award show moment as he “jokingly” hopped on stage when Beck won out over Beyoncé.

  Meanwhile, even if Kanye was having a blast, the rest of the show featured a surprising amount of very serious performances. Everything — from Usher's tribute to Stevie Wonder to Katy Perry's song dedicated to a survivor of domestic violence — led to an incredibly somber night.

  KEY WORDS:

  a clean sweep 完胜;大获全胜;

  upstage vt. 抢戏,抢镜头;傲慢地对待;

  infamous adj. 声名狼藉的;低劣的;

  tribute to 向...致敬

  参考译文1:

  周日晚格莱美大奖揭晓,萨姆·史密斯风光无限,摘得四个奖项,其中三个为主要奖项:年度最佳新人奖、年度最佳单曲奖,以及年度最佳唱片奖,得奖曲目就是那首红极一时的由汤姆·佩蒂伴唱的“Stay With Me”《和我在一起》。

  但他并没有包揽全部奖项。贝克凭借“Morning Phase”《早间时段》获年度最佳专辑奖,震惊四座。当宣布贝克战胜碧昂丝获奖时,坎耶·维斯特搞笑地跳上台,试图以自己恬不知耻的领奖时刻来抢镜。

  即便坎耶那样搞笑砸场,绝大多数人的表演还是相当严肃认真的。从厄舍向史蒂夫·汪达致敬,到凯蒂·佩里献歌给一名家庭暴力幸存者,一切都很圆满,这是一个令人难以置信的夜晚。

  参考译文2:

  在周日的格莱美颁奖礼上,萨姆·史密斯连夺包括年度新人、年度歌曲、年度最佳流行专辑大奖(凭借他红极一时的《Stay with me》)三大奖项在内的四座奖杯,成为了最大的赢家。

  但是这并不能算是大获全胜。Beck爆冷凭借《Morning Phase》夺得了年度专辑。对于碧昂斯未能获得年度专辑奖,Kanye West“玩笑般”跳上舞台,看上去想是要刷新其过去臭名昭著的舞台瞬间。

  期间,尽管Kanye的演出很尽兴,剩下的表演都惊人的严肃。从Usher对 Stevie Wonder的致敬到Katy Perry献给在当地暴力事件中幸存者的歌曲,当晚的一切都是那么的忧郁。
