在過去的幾十年中，很少有幾個樂隊能像Bon Jovi一樣體現(xiàn)流行金屬的時代特征。 Bon Jovi源于新澤西的一個硬搖滾樂隊的名稱，由其主唱和同名者喬恩·邦·喬維創(chuàng)立。

In the past several decades， few bands embodied the era of pop-metal like Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi is a hard rock band from Sayreville， New Jersey， fronted by lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi.

Bon Jovi的故事開始于新澤西州的塞爾威爾。在那喬恩和他的兄弟馬特和托尼由他們的父母扶養(yǎng)長大。從十幾歲時， 喬恩就堅信自己某一天會成為一名搖滾巨星。那時他就和幾個朋友一起開始在當?shù)氐臉逢犞醒葑唷?/p>

The Bon Jovi story began in Sayreville， New Jersey. Where Jon and his brothers Matt and Tony were raised by their parents. By his early teens， Jon was hanging out at local clubs， convinced that one day he would be a rock star. He ended up playing in local bands with friends.

后來，喬恩受雇成為他表兄Power Station音樂工作室的看門人。由于家庭關系，不久他就很幸運地和一些知名音樂人錄制了一些自己的唱片小樣，其中之一就是后來吸引了新澤西當?shù)仉娕_注意的《逃離》，喬恩隨后組建了樂隊演唱這首歌曲。于1983年和寶麗金簽約之后樂隊起名為Bon Jovi——改自喬恩家族的姓氏：邦其喬維。樂隊的第一張專輯大賣，而《逃離》成為他們的第一首進入全美排行榜前40名的歌曲。

Later， Jon was hired as a janitor at the Power Station studios owned by his cousin and thanks to his family connections he was lucky enough to record musical demos with several famous musicians. One demo in particular， Runawaycaught the attention of the local New Jersey radio station and Jon recruited a band to support the song. Soon the band attracted a record company biddingwar with some major labels and upon signing to Mercury/Polygram in 1983， the band became known as Bon Jovi — a diversion from his real surname. Bon Jovi's first studio album went gold in the charts and Runaway became their first Top 40 hit.

1985年，樂隊的第二張專輯《華式七千八百度》發(fā)行，并贏得金唱片的銷量，但是樂隊成員并不滿足，因為他們并沒有變成真正的超級明星。在他們的下一張專輯中他們找來了職業(yè)歌曲作者戴斯芒德合作，共同創(chuàng)作了30首歌曲并邀請新澤西和紐約的青少年來試聽，從中選出的歌曲構成了新的專輯《濕滑》并在1986年發(fā)行。這張專輯僅在美國本土就賣了900萬張。其中的兩首歌曲《你給了愛壞名字》和《生而祈禱》達到了單曲榜的榜首，專輯本身也在專輯榜上奪冠。至此Bon Jovi終于成為他們夢想的世界聞名的音樂巨星。

In 1985， the band's second album 7 800 Fahrenheit was released and also gained a gold record sale status yet Jon and his co-members felt that their fame wasn't at the level they were hoping for， and they didn'tbecome the superstars they had hoped， and they changed their approach for their next album， Slippery When Wet. Hiring professional songwriter Desmond Child as a collaborator， the group wrote 30 songs and auditioned them for local New Jersey and New York teenagers， basing the album's running order on their opinions. Slippery When Wet was released in 1986. The album eventually sold nine million copies in the U.S. alone. Two songs，You Give Love a Bad Name and Livin' on a Prayer， reached number one， and Finally Bon Jovi had become the worldwide musical superstars they had been dreaming of.

世界開始將喜愛毫不吝嗇地送給了Bon Jovi，他們贏得了美國音樂獎，全民選舉的年度樂隊獎。MTV因《生而祈禱》頒給Bon Jovi最佳表現(xiàn)獎。

The world ate and slept Bon Jovi， they won the American Music Award and People's Choice Awards as Band of The Year， MTV gave Bon Jovi a Best Performance Award for the video Livin' on a Prayer.

當喬恩被問到所有的這些成功對他意味著什么時，他回答到：“任何事都變得重要起來，被認出的次數(shù)越來越多。從此之后就只能前進。我們對這一行當也更加了解，有了更多的責任感，我們會盡力把事情做好。”

When Jon was asked what all this astronomical success meant， he answered， \"Everything is bigger， and it moves twice as fast. You're recognized twice as often. This is bigger， the whole world gets bigger. You have to sell more records， be huger. You get smarter and you understand the business a little more， so it's more responsibility. You understand it now， and you want to make sure everything goes right.\"
