※ 引述《stopandshop (淚)》之銘言： : 這裡有娜姐speech的全文 (文中也有影片) : http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1621390/20090913/jackson_michael.jhtml 娜姐這篇致辭真的..很感人翻譯盡量保持原味但是畢竟語言會有落差拋磚引玉希望有錯請指正 MJ Forever (ps:下文中Michael Jackson因篇幅關係以MJ縮寫代之) : "Michael Jackson was born in August, 1958. so was I. Michael Jackson grew up : in the suburbs of the Midwest. So did I. Michael Jackson had eight brothers : and sisters. So do I. When Michael Jackson was 6 he became a superstar and : was perhaps the world's most beloved child. When I was 6 my mother died. I : think he got the shorter end of the stick. MJ出生於1958年8月，我也是。 MJ在美國中西部的郊區長大，我也是。 MJ有八個兄弟姐妹，很巧地我也有。 MJ六歲時成為了超越巨星，也或許在當時是這世上最多人疼愛的孩子。我六歲時失去了我的母親，但我想比起來，他比較吃虧。 : "I never had a mother, but he never had a childhood. And when you never get : to have something, you become obsessed by it. I spent my childhood searching : for my mother figures; sometimes I was successful. But how do you recreate : your childhood when you are under the magnifying glass of the world for your : entire life? 我從未擁有過母愛，但是他從未享受過童年。當一個人某種事物從未獲得滿足時，他會不斷地念茲在茲。我花了我整個童年去尋找母親的形象，我曾成功了。但是，如果一生都在全世界拿著放大鏡關注下，你要如何重新追回你的童年？ : "There is no question that Michael Jackson was one of the greatest talents : the world has ever known. ... That when he sang a song at the ripe old age of : 8, he could make you feel like an experienced adult was squeezing your heart : with his words. ... That the way he moved had the elegance of Fred Astaire : and packed the punch of Muhammad Ali. ... That his music had an extra layer : of inexplicable magic that didn't just make you want to dance but actually : made you believe that you could fly, dare to dream, be anything that you : wanted to be. Because that is what heroes do. And Michael Jackson was a hero. 毫無疑問地，MJ是這世界上最偉大的天才之一… 當他唱出如同成人般經歷滄桑的故事時，他僅僅8歲而已，而那些歌聲及詞藻，卻又是那麼地扣人心弦… 他在舞台的動作，如同Fred Astaire般地優雅，又如同拳王阿里一般地震撼‥ 這一切的一切，造就他的音樂是如此地充滿魔力並與眾不同，讓你不只想要跟著起舞，而更讓你相信你可以飛翔、可以夢想、可以做任何事。因為，這是英雄能做到的，所以MJ，正是一位英雄！ : "He performed in soccer stadiums around the world, he sold hundreds of : millions of records, he dined with prime ministers and presidents. Girls fell : in love with him, boys fell in love with him, everyone wanted to dance like : him, he seemed otherworldly, but he was also a human being. Like most : performers, he was shy and plagued with insecurities. 他在世界各地的足球場演出，他擁有上億張銷售量的唱片，他受過世界各國總理及總統的宴請招待。女孩們愛上了他，男孩們迷上了他，大家都想要像他一樣地起舞，他是如此地超凡，如此地像是另一個世界來的神。但，他也只是個人類，和其他的藝人一樣，害羞靦腆，卻又被不安全感困擾。 : "I can't say we were great friends, but in 1991 I decided I wanted to get to : know him better. I asked him out to dinner: I said, 'My treat, I'll drive, : just you and me.' He agreed and showed up to my house without any bodyguards. : We drove to the restaurant in my car. It was dark out, but he was still : wearing sunglasses. I said, 'Michael, I feel like I'm talking to a limousine, : do you think you could take off those glasses so I could see your eyes?' He : paused for a moment, then he tossed the glasses out the window, looked at me : with a wink and a smile and said, 'Can you see me now, is that better?' 我不敢說我們是很好的朋友，但在1991年時我決定去更接觸了解他這個人。我邀請他共進晚餐，我說”我請客，我負責開車，就我們兩個”。他答應了，未帶保鑣地獨自一人出現在我的住處。我們開車前往餐廳的路上，天色已黑，但他還是戴著墨鏡。我說”Michael，我覺得我好像是在跟車子講話，你可以拿下墨鏡好讓我看到你的雙眼嗎？” 他考慮了一會兒後，他摘下墨鏡並直接丟出窗外，微笑，俏皮地眨眨眼看著我說”你現在看得到我了嗎，這樣有沒有好一點？” : "In that moment, I could see both his vulnerability and his charm. The rest : of the dinner, I was hell-bent on getting him to eat French fries, drink : wine, have dessert and say bad words, things he never seemed to allow himself : to do. Later, we went back to my house to watch a movie and we sat on the : couch like two kids, and somewhere in the middle of the film, his hand snuck : over and held mine. It felt like he was looking for a friend more than a : romance and I was happy to oblige him. And in that moment he didn't feel like : a superstar, he felt like a human being. We went out a few more times : together and then for one reason or another we fell out of touch. Then, the : witch hunt began and it seemed like one negative story after the other was : coming out about Michael. I felt his pain. I know what it's like to walk down : the street and feel like the whole world has turned against you. I know what : it's like to feel helpless and unable to defend yourself because the roar of : the lynch mob is so loud that you are convinced your voice can never be : heard. 在這個瞬間，我同時感受到他的脆弱及魅力。晚餐剩餘的時間，我很故意地凹他做一些他從未讓自己做過的事: 吃薯條、喝酒、吃點心甚至講不雅文字隨後，我們回到我的住處，像孩子般地坐在沙發上看電影，在影片的途中，他偷偷地握住我的手。但那感覺比較像是朋友間的動作而不是什麼曖昧成份，因此我很開心地順著他。那時，他並不像是個超級巨星，而真的就只是個普通人。我們之後有再約會幾次但因為某些原因，我們失了聯絡。隨後，如同女巫狩獵般地，一個接一個負面事件降臨在MJ身上。我可以體會他的痛苦。我了解那就像是你走在路上，面對的卻是全世界都背叛了你的情景。我了解當你想要抗辯澄清否認時，你的聲音卻比不上那些想要私刑撕裂你的怪物們所發出的吼聲時，那可以讓人感到有多無助、多絕望… : "But I had a childhood, and I was allowed to make mistakes and find my own : way in the world without the glare of the spotlight. When I first heard that : Michael had died I was in London, days away from the opening of my tour. : Michael was going to perform in the same venue as me a week later. All I : could think about in that moment was that I had abandoned him. That we had : abandoned him. That we had allowed this magnificent creature that once set : the world on fire to somehow slip through the cracks. While he was trying to : build a family and rebuild his career, we were all busy passing judgment. : Most of us had turned our backs on him. 我享受過童年，我曾經可以犯了錯但不用被聚光燈放大，而是讓我在這世上可以找到我自己要走的路。當我聽到Michael的死訊時，剛好是在我倫敦巡演開幕的幾天之後。 Michael本來在一個星期後就要在和我演出的同一個地點表演。在當下我只有一個想法，那就是我背棄了他，我們大家都背棄了他。是我們讓這令世界瘋狂的創造曇花一現又從縫中溜走。當他正在試著建立他的家庭及重建他的事業時，我們都忙到未給予支持大多數的我們，背棄了他。 : "In a desperate attempt to hold onto his memory, I went on the Internet to : watch old clips of him dancing and singing on TV and onstage and I thought, : 'My God, he was so unique, so original, so rare. And there will never be : anyone like him again.' He was a king. But he was also a human being and : alas, we are all human beings and sometimes we have to lose things before we : can truly appreciate them. I want to end this on a positive note and say that : my sons, age 9 and 4, are obsessed with Michael Jackson. There's a whole lot : of crotch-grabbing and moonwalking going on in my house, and it seems like a : whole new generation of kids has discovered his genius and are bringing him : to life again. I hope that wherever Michael is now, he is smiling about this. 當傷心欲絕時，我在網路上不斷地看著他過去跳舞及唱歌的影片以茲憑弔。看著看著，我才發現”天啊！他是如此地與眾不同、如此地珍貴獨創，　　　　　　　　　　但是再也不會有人像他一樣了！” 他是個王者，但他也只是個普通人，而我們，唉，也都只是個普通人。以至於我們都要失去後才懂得珍惜。最後，我想要正面樂觀的方式來結束這段演講。我兩個兒子，一個9歲，另一個4歲，對MJ很著迷。成天在家裡跳著MJ褲檔招牌動作及月球漫步。那就像是一個新世代發現了他的才華並讓他再次復活在這世上一般。我希望不管Michael現在在哪裡，對這一切，他會微笑。 : "Yes, yes Michael Jackson was a human being, but dammit, he was a king. Long : live the king." 是啊…是啊…MJ或許只是個普通人類罷了，但是天殺地可別忘了，他是個王者！王者永存人心！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.8.130
