因為這篇給我很大的驚訝，基於讓更多人瞭解，我以我有限的英文稍稍翻譯一下。翻錯的請不吝指正，沒翻到的也歡迎其它網友再接力。 : 另外根據這位記者，MJ有留下200未發表的歌曲給他的三位小孩。 : http://tinyurl.com/lk7y5x : 'I'm better off dead. I'm done': How Michael Jackson predicted his death six : months ago : By Ian Halperin : Last updated at 2:08 AM on 28th June 2009 : * Genetic condition had ruined his lungs and left him unable to sing 因為基因遺傳上的問題，他的肺已經毀了而且無法再唱歌。 : * He became so skeletal, doctors believed he was anorexic 他已經瘦到皮包骨，醫生相信他是神經性厭食症。 : * He had nightmares about being murdered – and wanted to die 他夢到關於被謀殺的惡夢，而且他想死。 : * He used swine flu as an excuse to avoid coming to England 他以豬流感當做不去英格蘭的藉口。 : * He thought he was agreeing to 10 concerts – it was 50 他以為他答應的是十場演唱會--是五十場。 : Whatever the final autopsy results reveal, it was greed that killed Michael : Jackson. Had he not been driven – by a cabal of bankers, agents, doctors and : advisers – to commit to the gruelling 50 concerts in London’s O2 Arena, I : believe he would still be alive today. 不論驗屍結果為何，Mike是被貪婪給殺死的。如果不是銀行家，經紀人，醫生，和顧問所策劃的在倫敦唱50場演唱會的陰謀，我相信他至今還會活著。 : During the last weeks and months of his life, Jackson made desperate attempts : to prepare for the concert series scheduled for next month – a series that : would have earned millions for the singer and his entourage, but which he : could never have completed, not mentally, and not physically. : Michael knew it and his advisers knew it. Anyone who caught even a fleeting : glimpse of the frail old man hiding beneath the costumes and cosmetics would : have understood that the London tour was madness. For Michael Jackson, it was : fatal. 在他生命中最後數個月，他竭力準備那個可以為他還有他週遭的人帶進數百萬美元收入的演唱會—一個在心理上和生理上都不可能完成的演唱會。 Mike和他的顧問都知道這演唱會不可能完成。任何人只要瞄到這掩藏在戲服與化妝之下的虛弱老男人一眼，都會瞭解這倫敦之旅根本是一種瘋狂。對 Mike而言，這是致命的。 : I had more than a glimpse of the real Michael; as an award-winning freelance : journalist and film-maker, I spent more than five years inside his ‘camp’. : Many in his entourage spoke frankly to me – and that made it possible for me : to write authoritatively last December that Michael had six months to live, a : claim that, at the time, his official spokesman, Dr Tohme Tohme, called a ‘ : complete fabrication’. The singer, he told the world, was in ‘fine health’ : . Six months and one day later, Jackson was dead. 我只看到他比一眼多一些些。身為一個得獎的自由記者和製片，我在他的陣營裡花了五年多的時間。他身邊的人多半坦白相告於我，也因此使我在去年十二月可靠地預測了Mike只剩六個月可活。這預測在當時被他的官方發言人， Dr. Tohme稱為「徹底的捏造」。Dr. Tohme當時告訴全世界Mike健康狀況良好。六個月又一天之後，Mike過世。 : Some liked to snigger at his public image, and it is true that flamboyant : clothes and bizarre make-up made for a comic grotesque; yet without them, his : appearance was distressing; with skin blemishes, thinning hair and : discoloured fingernails. 有些人對著他的公開形象訕笑，而他華麗勁爆的戲服與誇張詭異的濃妝也的確是為了漫畫式般的怪異風格所創造的。但若非這些，他的外觀是非常令人感到不舒服的:皮膚上的斑點,，稀疏的頭髮，毫無顏色的指甲。 : I had established beyond doubt, for example, that Jackson relied on an : extensive collection of wigs to hide his greying hair. Shorn of their : luxuriance, the Peter Pan of Neverland cut a skeletal figure. 這段我翻不出來，意思大概是說作者曾經懷疑過Mike使用假髮來掩藏灰髮。 : It was clear that he was in no condition to do a single concert, let alone : 50. He could no longer sing, for a start. On some days he could barely talk. : He could no longer dance. Disaster was looming in London and, in the opinion : of his closest confidantes, he was feeling suicidal. : To understand why a singer of Jackson’s fragility would even think about : travelling to London, we need to go back to June 13, 2005, when my : involvement in his story began. 很明顯地，Mike根本無法應付一場演唱會，何況是五十場。他一開始無法唱歌，接下來他可能只能勉強說話，然後完全無法跳舞。災難在倫敦漸漸逼近，他的一位親密友人認為，他自己有自殺傾向。要瞭解為何像Mike這樣脆弱的歌手會想到旅行到倫敦去，我們必須回到 2005.1.13，也就是當我開始介入去瞭解他的故事的時候。 : As a breaking news alert flashed on CNN announcing that the jury had reached : a verdict in Jackson’s trial for allegedly molesting 13-year-old Gavin : Arvizo at his Neverland Ranch in California, I knew that history had been : made but that Michael Jackson had been broken – irrevocably so, as it proved. : Nor was it the first time that Michael had been accused of impropriety with : young boys. Little more than a decade earlier, another 13-year-old, Jordan : Chandler, made similar accusations in a case that was eventually settled : before trial – but not before the damage had been done to Jackson’s : reputation. (請包容我無法逐字翻譯，今天好累) Gavin案中，雖然歷史已對此案定論，但Mike已經無法挽救地被打碎了。這不是Mike第一次被控告對年輕男孩有不恰當的舉動(指Jordan案)。雖然在審判前此案已宣告結束，但對Mike的名聲已無可救藥地被破壞了。 : Michael had not helped his case. Appearing in a documentary with British : broadcaster Martin Bashir, he not only admitted that he liked to share a bed : with teenagers, mainly boys, in pyjamas, but showed no sign of understanding : why anyone might be legitimately concerned. Mike並沒有為自己的案子幫上太多忙。在一個英國廣播人的紀錄中顯示，Mike 不但承認他喜歡穿著睡衣和青少年共分享一張床，並且沒有認何跡象顯示他瞭解為什麼有人對這樣的事會有法律上的顧慮。 (OS: Mike你真是好天真喔.....) : I had started my investigation convinced that Jackson was guilty. By the end, : I no longer believed that. 一開始我著手調查時認為Mike是有罪的，但最後我再也不這麼相信了。 (待續.....) 譯文不接受媒體複製，欲引述須來信徵得我的同意。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.110.169.40
