其实最开始是在BAIDU那里搜“NEVERLAND”,结果搜到了他,后来就如题,完全误打误撞进去了他的MY SPACE。
然后发现他有篇6.26写的叫“The man with a child in his eyes ”的博文。心里一颤,点了进去。
6.26的全文如下:
The man with a child in his eyes
When I was a little boy, he was my hero.
When I was a young man, he was my sanity.
Taking me away from the pain in my life and filling my heart with joy and wonder.
When I was 13 I saw him live in concert and from the second he arrived on stage I knew what I was going to do for the rest of my life. It was September 1987 and I have to this day never seen anything more extraordinary. To this day I've never seen a reaction from audience like the one he received. I've never seen magic and glitter fly through the air and witness that electricity start up hearts the way he did that night. And now I'm certain the world never again will. Thank you Michael Jackson. On behalf of dreamers the world over. The world is a duller place without you. I'm so privileged to have lived in the same lifetime to witness even a moment of your glory.
那个拥有孩子般纯真眼神的男人
当我还是个孩子,他是我的英雄。
当我长大一点,他是我的理智。
他带我远离生活中的痛苦,让我的心充满了愉悦和憧憬。
13岁的时候,我看了他的现场演唱会,从他上台的那刻起,我就知道我这辈子接着该干什么了。那是1987年的九月,这天之前我从未见过比这更出色的表演,这天之前我也从未见过比这更疯狂的观众,从未见过如此具有魔力和闪耀的表演在空中飞过,我还目睹了他怎样用他的电力点燃了大家的心。现在我知道,世界上再也不会有这样的事发生了。谢谢你,Michael Jackson,代表着全世界和我有过同样梦想的人。没有你,世界是如此无趣。我真的很荣幸曾经和你生活在同一个时代,曾经见证了你的光辉,哪怕那只是一瞥。

然后点下一篇,是7.8写的,也就是今天(现在刚过凌晨,还算8号吧)。
He Gave Us All He Had Been Given
It's such a sad day for those who appreciated Michael Jackson today.
A day of celebration of a glorious life. But sadness that it was taken so quickly and so soon. And denying children of a father and a family of a beloved brother and son. I was so moved by the poem written by Maya Angelou at the memorial I wanted to post it here. As I cried my heart out today I realized that it was for the greatness we lost and perhaps some shame for what a cruel world did to someone so unique. It was the irony that in spite of what little the world gave him at times, this man gave every atom in his being to the dance of life. And for a handful of years we were lucky enough to bask in the glory of that magnificent light. As someone said to me recently, each of us has a flame inside us that needs igniting. Michael did that for me as a 13 year old boy. And though he is no longer among us, I like to think that my flame burns a little bit brighter because of him and his gift of music, dance and wonderment. I carry it with me and I hope that I can be selfless enough to pass it on to anyone who should need to find their unique spark.
他讲他所能给的全部都给了我们
今天对于那些爱他的人来说,是多么悲伤的一天。
这是一个庆祝他光辉的一生的一天。但这一天来的太快了,太匆忙了。它夺走了孩子们的父亲和一个家庭深爱的兄弟,儿子。
我发自内心地哭了,我意识到这是为了我们失去了一个伟人,并羞愧于这个残酷的世界对一个独一无二的人做了什么。讽刺的是,尽管有时世界给他的那么少,但他回馈了他的整个舞蹈生命。有那么些年,我们是多么幸运地可以沉浸在那炫丽光辉的光荣中。就像是最近有人告诉我的,每个人心中都有一簇等待点亮的火焰。正是 Michael 在我13岁的时候点亮了我。虽然他不再和我们生活在一起,但是我想我会把心中的火焰燃烧得更旺,因为他曾经给我带来的音乐,舞蹈和震惊。我会一直带着它,我希望我会无私地把它传递给任何一个人,点燃他们心中正待点亮的,他们所独有的火花。
(下面他引用了Maya Angelou在悼念会上的发言“We Had Him”,这个论坛其他帖子中英文都有,这只放最后一句)
……We are missing Michael. But we do know we had him, and we are the world.——我们怀念Michael,但我们拥有过他,这就够了。还有,我们是一家人。

文章写得很真挚感人,而且最重要是用词简单,连我这个英语半桶水的都能基本看懂。(想要全文翻译的自己找高手去……)
图是他文章带的原图。除了删减掉MAYA那段发言外,我什么都没改。
不知道大家对他熟悉否,但我之前不知道原来他一直都是MJ的迷,据说他刚出道接受采访时就说自己是听着Motown长大的。
资料说,他从野人花园解散后自己单飞出的歌,很多都能看出MJ的影子——特别是电子乐风格和黑暗压抑的歌词。别的我还没时间听,但他的NEVERLAND的确很压抑很黑暗,那歌词可以说有点恐怖了。
但先不论音乐如何,单从这两篇博文就能看得出来,他真的很爱MJ,也很尊敬MJ。并且说自己今天的成就也是多亏了当年MJ给了他动力。(他13岁就看到LIVE呢,好羡慕。)
M,你看到了吗?虽然地球现在这么污秽这么肮脏,让你不愿再忍受而选择离开。但是因为你的曾经停留,让这么多人爱上你,还有这么多人受到你的影响,他们都在朝着你的方向努力着呢。这让我相信,总有一天地球会真的成为我们共同的家,就像你希望的那样。那一天到来时,你一定会再对我们露出你那天使一般纯真又充满慈爱的微笑吧?
M,好想好想你。想着你入睡,是不是就能梦见你?
晚安,MY FOREVER LOVE。 |
