以下是Michael Jackson出席1993年Grammy Awards获颁Legend Award所发表的得奖感言。 特别用颜色标示的句子，我觉得很感动。 I hope this finally put to rest another rumour that has been in the press for too many years. Me and Janet really are two different people. In the past month, I've gone from "Where is he?" to "Here he is again." （PS. 以前有媒体报导麦可和珍娜是同一个人；麦可从珍娜手中接过奖座， 还特别澄清这一点） But I must confess, it feels good to be thought of as a person, not as a personality, because I don't read all the things written about me. I wasn't aware that the world thought I was so weird and bizarre but when you grow up as I did in front of 100 million people since the age of five you're automatically different. （译：我不知道世人认为我很奇怪， 但是如果你和我一样， 从五岁起，就在一亿人的关注下长大， 你自然会与众不同。） That last few weeks, I have been cleansing myself and it's been a rebirth for myself. It's like a cleansing spirit. My childhood was completely taken away from me. There was no Christmas. There was no birthdays. It was not a normal childhood. No normal pleasures of childhood. Those were exchanged for hard work, struggle, and pain and eventual material and professional success. But as an awful price I cannot re-create that part of my life nor would I change any part of my life. However, today when I create my music I feel like an instrument of nature. I wonder what delight nature must feel when we open our hearts and express our God-given talents. The sound of approval rose across the universe and the whole world abounds in magic. Wonder fills our hearts, for we have glimpsed, for an instant the playfulness of life and that's why I love children and learn so much from being around them. I realise that many of our world's problems today from the inner-city crime to large-scale wars and terrorism and our overcrowded prisons are a result of the fact that children have had their childhood stolen from them. The magic, the wonder, the mystery and the innocence of a child's heart are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world. I really believe that. What we need to learn from children isn't childish. Being with them connects us to the deeper wisdom of life which is ever-present and only asks to be lived. They know the way to solutions that lie waiting to be recognised with our own hearts. Today I would like to thank all the children of the world including the sick and deprived. I am so sensitive to your pain. I also want to thank all those who have helped me to channel my talent here on Earth. From the beginning, my parents, all my brothers and sisters especially Janet. I am so proud of her. It's incredible. ...（略） 我一直都很喜爱Michael Jackson，我也相信他在音乐上的成就没有人能够突破， 当电视节目、报章杂志都揶揄他过度的整型，质疑他有恋童癖的同时， 我依然不改对他的拥护爱戴。 今天打开电视，一转到新闻台就看到令人难以置信的消息，和版上多数人一样， 多希望这只是误传。 纵使英文很破，还是转到CNN，想看看有关MJ的消息。 希望MJ可以听到大家的祝福，也希望他下辈子能有美好的童年。 --
