Tens of thousands of mumbaikars decided to brave the hours-long sweatfest in the scorching heat on May 10 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, which typically seats 56,000 people.

　　5月10日这一天，成千上万的孟买人聚集在新孟买可容纳5万6千人的颐帕蒂尔体育场，共度了一场几小时的盛会。

　　The reason for the mania? Justin Bieber’s first-ever live concert in India. It’s not every day that global celebrities like the 23-year-old Canadian singer perform in India.

　　这般狂热，所为何事?(答案是)贾斯汀·比伯首度奔赴印度开现场演唱会啦!毕竟，像这位23岁的加拿大籍歌手那样的世界级明星来印度演出的事情，并不是天天有。

　　The organizers went all out, shelling out $4 million on arrangements, CNN reported. The gig marked the most expensive concert in India ever.

　　据CNN报道，(为迎接演出)主办方可是卯足了劲儿，在装备布置上投了4百万美元。这场表演可谓印度史上最贵演唱会。

　　Before arriving in India, Bieber’s team reportedly delivered an extremely long list of demands. The singer was also meant to get Z+ security—a special protection the government provides to just 36 influential people in the country.

　　据传，比伯团队在抵达印度前开出了一长串要求清单。歌手本人还想得到Z+级安全保护待遇 — 该保护待遇由印度政府提供，只有全国最具影响力的36位大人物才有权享受。

　　Bieber had also called for a chopper but ended up journeying to the concert venue by road. In the hours leading up to his concert, he even walked into a Starbucks to grab coffee.

　　比伯还钦点了直升机，不过最终还是通过陆路交通来到演出会场。演唱会开始前几小时，他甚至徒步至星巴克买咖啡。

　　The “Baby” singer also won hearts by paying a visit to underprivileged kids.

　　同时，这位演唱过《宝贝》一曲的歌手，还因前去拜访贫困儿童而虏获民众芳心。

　　Everything was going smoothly until the concert began and the singer began crooning—well, technically, the problem was that he didn’t croon.

　　总之，可谓万事亨通。然而等到演唱会拉开帷幕、歌手开口“低吟浅唱”，这片祥和之态戛然而止 — 而问题就出在，严格意义上来说，他并未高开贵口“浅唱低吟”。

　　Fans eagerly awaiting Bieber’s biggest smash hits like “Where Are You Now,” “Sorry,” “Boyfriend,” “Love Yourself” amid other popular tracks, were subject to a botched lip-sync performance for most of the night.

　　(比伯的)粉丝们是如此热切地期盼着自己的偶像演唱诸如《你在何方》《抱歉》《男友》《爱你自己》之类的热门流行单曲，没想到竹篮子打水一场空，只等来一场拙劣的“口型对对碰”盛会。

　　Worse, it seemed he didn’t even try to make his act believable.

　　更令他们心寒的则是，偶像甚至连对口型都对得心不在焉。

　　Comedian Ashish Shakya from the popular comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB) described one such moment in a Facebook note, saying, “Bieber was wiping his face with a towel such that the towel covered his entire face, and the vocals just played on unchanged.”

　　著名喜剧团体《印度骗子》的演员阿西施·萨迦在一条脸书推文中这样描述道：“比伯当时正用毛巾擦脸，毛巾把脸盖得严严实实，但他的歌声却丝毫没有受到影响。”

　　Many lashed out on Twitter, criticizing Bieber’s deadpan expression and ghar ke kapde (clothes worn at home).

　　许多粉丝也纷纷发表推文，以谴责比伯漫不经心的表现与相当随意的衣着。
