http://axecollectorblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-brush-with-badness.html 前面原文落落长就不翻了 从他碰到老大後开始翻 有兴趣的自行去看 07年的文章 作者说他每次跟他朋友讲到 大家都很high 所以他就写出来了 This project would eventually become Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" album. When I first started, Michael was working with three different groups of producers all trying to take the place of Quincy Jones, who had not been chosen to work on this project. I think Michael wanted to go out on his own for this one, but the problem was that he had no idea what he wanted! One day, Slash from Guns N' Roses would be recording a searing guitar solo, while the next day, a chorus of thirty children would be singing a nursery rhyme or something. 我被唱片公司派去做一个特殊计画 後来就是MJ的 Dangerous专辑 当我刚去时MJ和三组制作人合作 这三组人马都想在Quincy Jones之後做这张专辑 我想MJ这次想要自己来 但是问题在於他不知道他到底想要甚麽 某一天会有GNR的Slash跑来录吉他独奏 另一天会有小朋友合唱团来 或其他 Michael didn't say much to me at first, until one day he ran in screaming that there was a "vagabond" sitting in the alley behind the studio. I took a look, expecting Charlie Chaplin to pop out or something, but there was just some homeless guy sipping malt liquor out of a bag on the back steps. 他刚开始并没有怎麽和我说话 直到有一天他尖叫着跑进来说 录音室後面巷子坐着 一个vagabond (卓别林的一个默剧角色) 我跑出去看期待看到像卓别林样的人 但是只是一个无家可归的人坐在那里喝酒 Eventually, Michael warmed up to me, and even started talking to me once in a while if he was in the mood. Once, he asked if I was going to have to go fight in the (Gulf) war. I told him I was probably too old to be drafted, and he responded by saying that he was relieved, because "if you went to the war, you could die." 最後MJ和我熟络了 在他心情好时会跟我聊天 有ㄧ次他问我要不要去打波斯湾战争 我跟他说我太老了不适合 他说他放心了 因为我去打仗的话会死的 He also started sending me out on errands, like going out with his credit card one afternoon to fill his huge Blazer up with gasoline. If I remember correctly, he had an auxiliary gas tank mounted, so he could get up to his ranch without having to get out and fill up along the way. 他开始会要我做些差事 像是拿他的信用卡去帮他的车子加油 如果我没记错的话 他总是会有很多个备用油箱 这样他就不用在来的路上还要沿路去加油 I guess I should mention at this point that Michael is an awful driver. He hit everyone's car in the studio lot at least once, including mine. One time, he rear-ended a guy on the 101 freeway, and just left the scene because the guy got out of his car and started screaming at him. Eventually, he gave up and got someone to drive him in to work every day. 我必须说的是 MJ实在是个很糟的驾驶人 他把录音室所有人的车至少都撞过一次 包括我的车 还有ㄧ次他在101公路上撞到一个人 後来他就走掉了 因为那个人一下车就一直对着他尖叫 最後他总算放弃了 让人每天载他去工作 Other memorable experiences include calling Tower Records (RIP) an hour before they closed, and having them shut down early so that Michael and I could go shopping. Even thought it was just up the road, I was glad to get out of MJ's car and into the safety of the store! I think he dropped about $1500 on CDs that night. 另一个很棒的回忆 是他打电话给淘儿唱片行 要他们早点关门 让我和MJ可以去购物 即使唱片行只在街头 我还是很高兴我能从MJ的车走出来 然後进到很"安全"的店 我想他那天晚上大概买了1500元美金的CD (买好多阿!!) Anyway, one day Michael shyly asked me if I could do him a special favor. I'm pretty sure this was after he stopped driving, so I guess he really didn't have any other way to get stuff during the day. Of course I agreed, which was when he told me flat-out that he had just run out of underwear. 总知 有一天 MJ很害羞的问我可不可以帮他一个特别的忙 我记得因为他已经不开车了 所以他也没别的方法去买东西 我当然答应他 然後他快速的告诉我 他内裤没了 For pretty much the whole two years that I worked with him, Michael came in every day wearing black dress pants and a red button-down shirt. He had a whole rack of just these two items in his office, which I assume he either had cleaned and returned to him, or just threw away at the end of the day. But on this particular day, I guess he was running low on drawers. 我跟他工作的两年间 MJ每天都穿黑色的裤子 红色的衬衫 他在他办公室有整柜的 这两样东西 我猜想他不是送洗然後还给他 不然就是穿完就扔了 但在这一天 我想他衣柜库存不足 At first, he just said that he wanted underwear. When I asked him what kind, he just repeated "Underwear!" When I told him I wasn't his mother and didn't know what to get, he kind of laughed, and then said "Hanes thirty please." When I was almost out the door however, he came running up and yelled "make them thirty-twos, I don't want them to be too tight!" So there it is folks. The King of Pop wears tightie-whities! 起初 他只告诉我他要买内裤 但当我问他要哪种时 他只是重复就内裤阿 我跟他说 我不是他妈 我怎麽知道要买哪种 他笑了然後说请买Hanes牌子30尺寸的 而当我快走出门时 他突然跑出来然後大喊:32的好了 我不想要太紧 所以 各位观众 Kind of Pop穿tightie-whities!! (有点难翻) Other than that, I never saw any funny business going on for the two years I worked with him. I really enjoyed this experience, and even got my name on the CD! Michael was always polite and reserved in the studio, but he had his silly moments as well. 除了这个 在这两年我就没看过甚麽好笑的事了 我真的很享受这个经验 甚至我的名字还出现在CD上 MJ很有礼貌很内向 但他也是有他呆呆的时候 He was also really concerned about doing anything that would inadvertently upset anybody around him. Even though he was spending five thousand bucks a day on studio time, Michael left me this note one day on my desk. I kept it as a souvenir, and pull it out now and then if people ever question my story. It pretty much tells you everything you need to know about him as a person and an artist. 他同时总担心会无意间做了甚麽事让附近的人不开心 虽然他每天花了5000块在录音室 MJ有天在我桌上留了这个小纸条 我把他留下来当纪念 而且拿出来证明我的故事 (照片请看连结 From MJ:I took one ink pin) 这几乎可以告诉你 你需要知道关於这个人和这个艺术家的所有事 For the purposes of clarification, Michael was just telling me that he took a pen off my desk. Also, the French translation of "tightie-whities" to "panties," although humorous, is not accurate. The type of undergarment I am describing is just a plain white pair of men's cotton briefs. Many men continue to wear these into adulthood, though most switch to boxer shorts at some point. 最後跟大家讲清楚 MJ只是要告诉我他从我桌上拿了一支笔 还有我要说的是 他穿的裤子就是一般男生的白色棉质内裤 (他前面那个形容词是开了MJ内裤的一个小玩笑) --
