Analyzing Michael Jackson's Handwriting
分析杰克逊的笔迹
by Arlyn Imberman
What do the pop singer’s missing commas and sloping t-crosses say about what was in his head?
这位流行歌星写缺的逗号和斜写t的横杠说明了他脑子里在想什么？
Ever since Michael Jackson’s death, people have been looking for keys that might unlock the pop singer’s enigmatic persona. Why was Jackson so vulnerable to the impact of fame? Was he really a child trapped in a man’s body, or just misunderstood? Perhaps an examination of his handwriting—an extraordinary specimen—can provide some clues to how his mind worked.
自从迈克尔·杰克逊逝世之后，人们都在寻找能够解开他人格面貌的关键。为什么杰克逊在名声的影响之下那么容易受伤？他是否真是一个男人体内的孩童，或者仅仅是被误解了？也许对他笔迹的检验——一个非同寻常的实例——能够对他的思想提供证据。
This sample, written in the 1990s, contains the handwritten lyrics to the song, “We are the World,” which was written when Jackson was in his 30s. The mixing of upper- and lower-case letters shows confusion regarding his identity and could be the writing of a teenager. The movement, form, and space are weak, and the letters are narrow, which indicates introversion. The writing style is both slack and contracted, and the letters drift. A further lack of maturity is seen by the confusion of space and inconsistency in the size of the letters. The sloping baseline indicates melancholy, disillusion, and loss of innocence.
这个样本，写于上世纪90年代，包含歌曲“We Are the World”的手写歌词，是杰克逊在他30多岁时写的。高低字母的混合表现了他对自己身份的困惑，可能是一个青少年的笔迹。移动趋势，形状结构和空格十分薄弱，且字母十分细，这些表现了他的内向性。字迹的风格即是松驰的也是收缩的，字母比较飘逸。更深入的不成熟的表现在于空格和字母大小的混乱。倾斜的底线表现了忧郁，理想的破灭和纯真的失去。
This sample is replete with spelling errors, and the lack of punctuation and organization represents an almost free-association thought process. This could be due to having an incomplete education (as child stars often have) or a rebellious disregard for norms, including the norms of proper grammar and spelling.
这份样本中充满在拼写错误，标点符号和组织的缺乏代表着一个自由联想的过程。这可能是因为不完整的教育（就像童星们都经历的）或是对准则规范难以控制的漠视，包括合适语法和拼写的规则。
Interestingly, the unique and original letter formations denote intelligence and creativity, and the slow, carefully written writing indicates that Jackson is a perfectionist who wishes to communicate on his own terms, unconventional though they may be. This reflects his unique and totally original lens on the interpretation of his thought process and the world around him.
有趣的是，独特和原创的字母的组成表现了智力和创造力，而缓慢、小心的写作表明杰克逊是个希望根据自己主张来交流的完美主义者，虽然它们有些不传统。这把他独特和完全原创的视角折射在了他想法的进程和他周围的世界的诠释上。
The entire space picture is uneven. The size and zones of the letters change, as if the lines were a roadmap that rambles to nowhere. The baseline (a measurement of emotional stability) is constantly shifting, reflecting strong mood swings. The slant is variable and upright, possibly a stay against inner chaos and a search for an identity.
整个间距的排布是不平衡的。字母的大小和划分区域在改变，这些线条就像是随意指向的路标。他的底线（一个情感稳定性的测量工具）在不停地变化，表达了强烈的情感摆动。斜度总是不断变化的，也许表现了对内心混乱的一种耐力和对自我的寻找。
The t-crosses move to the right, representing future challenges. These t-crosses are often off the stem, showing he is always thinking of ways to behave, perform, and think differently. Jackson’s inner theater was filled with creative fantasy, which seemed to constantly renew itself.
字母t的横杠向右偏，代表未来的挑战。这些横杠也总是不在字母的主干上，表现他总是在想去表现，表演和思考得不一样的方法。杰克逊的内心充满了富有创意的幻想，并且不断地更新。
The strong movement to the right, combined with the narrowness of the letters, show his emotional inhibitions despite his over-the-top behavior. Because everything is written in a state of flux and flow, the balance shifts—a further sign that he does not understand himself and does not find it easy to be understood by others. The lines are falling toward the bottom of the page, showing his fatigue, sadness, and search for meaning.
严重的向右倾斜，加上字母的狭细说明他除了有超常的行为，但也有感情抑制力。因为所有的东西都写得十分凌乱、不稳定、不平衡——更进一步表明他不能理解自己并发现被人理解也是件难事。底线一直倾斜至纸的底端，表现了他的劳累，悲伤和对意义的寻找。
And although he has an unevenly developed spirit of savvy and an often-childlike manner, he is quick to make adjustments. Highly impulsive, he walks on a fine tightrope of feeling, reaching out and, at the same time, finding new ways to hide out at the expense of his authentic identity.
尽管他有发展不平衡的理解能力和经常性的孩童行为，他能够很快地做出调整。高度冲动地，他走在情感的细钢丝上，表露自己，同时，在破坏了他的真性情的情况下寻找新方法去隐藏自己。
