[討論] 追悼會 Brook Shields 致詞（英文）

[hyderica (小揚愛吃奇異果)]

 Brooke: Michael, was one of the kind. I'm, um, thinking back to when...uh,
         we met and many times we'd spent together.
-Brooke：Michael是獨一無二的。我回想至我們認識的時候，我們共度很多時光。


         And whenever we were around together, there would be a picture taken
         There would be a caption and some kind. The caption usually said
         Something like: "an odd couple," or "an unlikely pair." But, to us,
         it was the most natural, and easiest of friendships. I was 13, when
         we met, and from that day on, our friendship grew. Michael always
         knew that he could count on me to support him, or be his date. And
         we would have fun, no matter where we were. We had a bond.
                                                     --------------
 　　　  當我們在一起時，總是有很多的鏡頭，會有一起的照片、標題，標題通常都會
         寫：「an odd couple（怪異／詭異的情侶）」，或是「an unlikely pair
 　　　　（不相襯*的一對）」。但對我們而言，那只是最自然、最簡單的友誼。當我們
 　　　　認識時，我才13歲，從那天開始，我們的情誼開始增長。Michael總是知道他可
 　　　　以依賴我的支持，當他的約會對象。我們不管身處何地，都能盡情開懷，我們有
 　　　　過連結。


         And maybe it was because we both understood what it was like to be
         in the spotlight from a very, very young age. I used to tease him when
         I said, "You know, I started when I was 11 months old. You're slacker.
         (laugh) You were, what, five?"
 　　　　也許那是因為我們兩個都能了解年紀輕輕便已成名的滋味，在很稚嫩的時候我們
 　　　　就是鎂光燈的焦點。我常常會開他玩笑說：「你知道的，我從11個月大的時候就
 　　　　已置身其中。你這個懶鬼，你5歲的時候才出道耶。」


         Both of us needed to be adults, very early, but when we were together,
         we were, 2 little kids, having fun. We never collaborated together,
         we never performed together, or danced on the stage, although he did
         try in vain, (斷句錯誤續接下行）
 　　　　我們兩個都需要在很年輕的時候學會當大人，但當我們在一起時，我們是兩個小
 　　　　朋友，一起度過快樂的時光。我們從未合作、我們從未一起表演、或一起在台上
 　　　　跳舞，雖然他的確曾經嘗試過，但結果只是枉然。

         one night, um, to unsuccessfully teach me the moonwalk. and he just
         basically shook his head and crossed his arms at my attempt.
 　　　　有天晚上，他很不成功地教我如何跳Moonwalk（月球漫步），他基本上對我的企
         圖心只是搖搖頭，雙手環胸。


         We never filmed a video, or recorded a song, but what we did do, was
         laugh.
 　　　　我們從未一起拍片、甚或是一起錄製唱片，但我們一起做過的，就只是大笑。

         It was (as) a competition to see who can make the other one laugh
         more, or be sillier. Michael loved to laugh. His heart would just
         burst out with him when he was laughing.
 　　　　就像是在玩誰先讓對方笑的比賽（／遊戲）：誰能讓對方笑得更大聲，或是誰能
 　　　　比對方更傻，Michael熱愛大笑。當他大笑時，他的心就像是要跳出來一樣地激
 　　　　動。


         He adored when I did silly imitations, or told him stories about my
         life. MJ's laugh was the sweetest, and puriest laugh of anyone's I
         have ever known. His sense of humor was, delightful, and he was very
         mischievous. I remember, um, it was the night before Elizabeth
         Taylor's wedding, and he had called me prior and asked if I would
         join him, he didn't want to be alone, for all the festivities. And,
         um, it was the night before the big day. Michael and I tried to sneak
         in to get the first peak of the dress. And we were just giggling like
         crazy. And we almost passed out in hysterics when we realize that
         Elizabeth was actually asleep in the bed. We thought she was in
         entirely different room. And we had laugh and sneak out.
 　　　　他很喜歡我做些傻氣的模仿、或是跟他說我人生的故事。MJ的笑是我所知世界
 　　　　上的任何人之中最甜、最純真的。他的幽默感令人開心，他非常淘氣。我記得
         Elizabeth Taylor婚禮前晚，他首先打電話給我，問我是否願意加入他，他不想
 　　　　要一個人做這件事，是一種慶祝活動。那天就是大日子的前晚，Michael和我試
 　　　　著偷溜進去，只為了第一個偷看到禮服。我們就像瘋了一般地咯咯笑，當我們發
 　　　　現Elizabeth在床上睡覺時，我們歇斯底里地幾乎要暈倒了；我們以為她人在全
　　　　 然不同的房間裡，然後我們一邊大笑一邊偷溜出來。


         Then at the point of the wedding, when there was a first dance.
         Basically we had a joke that we are the mother and father of the
         bride. Yes, it may have seemed very odd, to the outside, but we made
         it fun, and we made it real.
 　　　　在婚禮開舞前，我們基本上以說我們是新娘的父母開了個玩笑。
         是的，對外人而言，這可能看起來很奇怪；但我們讓它變得有趣、變得真實。


         When he started wearing glove, I was like, "What's up with the glove?"
 　　　  當他開始戴手套，我就覺得：「手套有什麼特別的？」（觀眾笑。）

         I said, "Look, if you're going to grab my hand, it better be the
         none-gloved one, because the sequins really hurt me." (To again,)
         he would just shake his head and he would just smile. He loved to be
         teased. Seeing him smile made you feel like: Everything is going to
         be alright.

         To the outside world, Michael was a genius, with unchallenged ability;
         to those who were lucky enough to know him personally, he was caring
         and funny, honest, pure, none-jaded.
 　　　  我說：「如果你要拉著我的手，你最好用沒有戴手套的那隻，因為上面的
 　　　  小碎亮片會弄痛我的手！」他搖搖頭只是笑著，他超喜歡被開玩笑、被
  　　　 取悅。看到他微笑，會讓你覺得：任何事情都會沒問題的！對外在的世界，
         Michael是個曠世奇才，有著所向披靡的才能；對那些夠幸運可以親自認識他的
         人而言，他非常地會關心別人、有趣、誠實、純淨，從不疲倦（是none-jaded
         吧）。
         And he was a lover of life.
 　　    他是熱愛生命的人。

         He cared so deeply for his family, and his friends, and his fans.
         他非常在乎他的家人，他的朋友，以至於他的歌迷。

         He was often referred to, as the "King," but the Michael I knew,
         always reminded me more of "Little Prince," thinking of him now,
         I would like to share a passage from the book:
 　　　　他常常被當成是王，但我認識的Michael讓我更易聯想到《小王子》，想著他，
 　　　　我想要和大家分享書中的段落：

         What moves me so deeply about this sleeping Prince, is his loyalty to
         a flower. The image of a rose shining within him like the flame
         within a lamp. even when he is asleep. And I realize, he was even
         more fragile than I had thought. Lamps must be protected, a gust
         of wind can blow them out.
 　　　　這個沉睡的王子讓我最深刻感動的是他對一朵花的忠心，玫瑰的形象於他之中
 　　　　閃耀，在一盞燈中灼燒，即使他是沉睡中。而我終於了解，他比我想像中還要
 　　　　來得脆弱。必須保護這盞燈，因一塵世的風便能將之熄滅。


         Michael's sensitivity was even more extrodinary than his talent, and
         it's true truth was lighted in his heart.
 　　　　Michael的感性比他的才能還要來得特殊，且其心中的真理比任何事情都來得真
 　　　　實。


         As the "Little Prince" also say:
 　　　　就像《小王子》中也說：
 　　　　The eyes are blind, you have to look with the heart.
         What's most important is invisible.
 　　　　眼睛是盲目的，你必須以心去看；最重要的事物，往往不可見。


 　　　　Michael saw everything with his heart.
 　　　　Michael以他的心看萬物。


         To his family, his brothers and sisters, Katherine, Joe, and to his
         children: Prince, Paris, Blanket, my prayers are with you.
 　　　　謹致他的家人、他的兄弟姊妹、Katherine（母親）、Joe（父親），及他的
 　　　　子女：Prince、Paris、Blanket*，祝福你們。


         Michael's favorite song was none one of the countless masterpieces
         that he gave us, but it was a song that Charlie Choplin wrote, for
         the movie "Modern Times," it's called "Smile."
 　　　　Michael最愛的歌曲並不是如他自己獻給我們一般傑出的歌，但那是由
         Charlie Choplin（卓別林）為了Modern Times*（摩登時代）所寫的：
 　　　　Smile。


         There's a line in this song that says, "Smile, though your heart is
         aching."
 　　　　在這首歌中有句：Smile, though your heart is aching。
 　　　　　　　　　　　　微笑，即使你的心在痛。


         Today, although our hearts are aching, we need to look up where he's
         undoubtly perched in the cresent moon, and we need to smile.
 　　　　今天，雖然我們的心都在痛，我們需要向那他無庸置疑所在的天空看，棲息在
　　　　 新月之中，我們需要微笑。

－－

  Brooke, you're so beautiful! You should have proposed to Michael! You should

  be there with him to be his backbone!

  Brooke, I envy you, yet at the same time I worship you. I believe by loving

  you, I can get closer to him, because I can see his love in you.

  I love you.


　（就算是再重做一遍，我的眼淚還是都要掉出來了！對不起，說好不哭我食言了。）

在此版本中，我又自己校正一次，應該全文無誤，不知道是否方便將之前的中譯版撤除？

謝謝您的回應！
