http://allforloveblog.com/?p=3826 原文无敌之长 有兴趣看全文的请按上面连结 以下翻重点 上面连结也有很多画作在其中 前面几段就是在介绍这个MJ的私人画家 讲到MJ是在史匹柏办公室看到他画的一幅阿帕契印地安人的画 而想认识他 I asked, “ What do you think drew him to the painting? What qualities about this painting was he expressly impressed with?” 我问到 你认为画中的甚麽吸引了他? 是甚麽元素让他印象深刻? “He never told me,” David replied. “The painting depicted a cavalry killing women and children, so I think it was the empathy he was drawn to.” 答:他从没告诉过我 画中描绘的是骑士在杀女人和小孩 我想是他对那幅画感同身受 “Was Michael himself very knowledgable of Native culture?” I wanted to know if that might not have been some of the appeal; after all, Michael himself had some Native ancestry-quite a bit, in fact; Choctaw on Joe’s side, Cherokee on Katherine’s side. 问:麦可对於对於印第安文化有了解吗? 毕竟他也是有印第安血统 他父母两边都有一小 部分的印第安血统 “No.” The answer came pretty emphatically. But then he also explained, “ That is to say, what he knew about it was no more or less than what the average person knows. But he did have a very good overview knowledge of Native culture.” 答:没有 但是他对於印地安文化的了解跟一般人差不多 不过他对於印地安文化 的确有一 定程度的知识 “In other words, he would have at least had a good, general working knowledge of the belief systems and values of most tribes. 也就是说他知道最基本的印第安信仰和部落 “Oh, absolutely. Michael was aware of everything. He was a voracious reader. 答: 当然了 麦可对很多事情都很了解 他是个广泛的读者 然後他们谈到earth song和印地安各部落的预言 David说到MJ对於各部落的预言也非常 了解 某一部分也是earth song这首歌的起源 但他同时也提到MJ对事情的角度是更广的 MJ希望David不要只局限画印地安人 而是应该 要更有全球观 The story of how Michael and David met is an interesting, and funny, one. Michael wasn’t above making up a white lie to get what he wanted. “He told me he wanted to take art lessons,” David said. David was put in touch with Michael’s peeps, who arranged the meeting. This was in 1988, during the Bad tour, and David was given a list of tour stops to choose from. “I chose Denver, because it was the closest.” So as the date for the Denver show drew near, David meticulously packed all of his supplies, with the understanding that he was going to be giving art lessons. 他们认识的过程非常有去 麦可基本上把他骗去了 MJ跟我说想学画画 时间是在1988年 的BAD巡演 他被给了好几个演唱会的地点 他选了丹佛 因为最近 当日期到的时候 他打 包了他的画具 以为要去教画画 Their intial conversation, according to David, had gone something like this: 一开始的对话如下 Michael: Do you give painting lessons? 麦可: 你教画画吗? David: No, I don’t. 大卫:不 我不教 But Michael, turning on his best charm, managed to convince David that he sincerely wanted to learn. Finally, David relented and agreed to a meeting. 但是麦可启动他迷人模式说服他 他真的很有诚意想要学 最後大卫就答应去见MJ But it was obvious from the get-go that lessons were the furthest thing from Michael’s mind. 但是最後的结果才发现 麦可心里根本并不是想要学画画 A limo picked David up and whisked him to their meeting. He had packed all of his art supplies, still under the illusion that he was going to be giving lessons. He said the security guards came down with Michael and hung around for the first few minutes, until Michael told them it was okay; they could leave. There was also a young lady whom Michael was sending out to buy the conchos that he liked to wear on his belt (remember, we’re talking Bad era!). 礼车来接他 他打包了他所有画具 一直以为他要去教画画 当他碰到麦可的前几分钟 保镳一直跟着MJ 直到MJ叫他们可以离开了 同时麦可也请一个女人出去买小装饰 那是他要在皮带上的 (因为是BAD时期) “Make sure you get your 20% off,” he told her, referring, evidently, to a 20% discount she was supposed to get on the conchos. 麦可还跟她讲 记得要拿到8折阿 她买那些小装饰应该可以拿到折扣 XDXD (MJ果然很爱杀价) During that first meeting, they talked a lot about art and many other things. But there was no indication that Michael was seriously interested in any lessons. 在他们第一次会面 他们讨论了很多艺术和其他事情 但是完全没有迹象麦可是想要上课 So why go to all the elaborate ruse of pretending he wanted art lessons? 所以他为什麽要假装他想上呢? “He just wanted to meet me,” David laughed. “He wanted to set up a meeting, to see if we would hit if off.” 他只是想要见我 他想要看我们是不会合拍 But I knew that Michael did have an interest in art, as evidenced by his own sketches and self-portraits. I had also read that, at some point, David did give Michael lessons-or tried to. The sessions usually ended up in frustration. 但我知道麦可的确对美术很有兴趣 从他的素描和自画像就可看出 事实上David的确试着 帮麦可上过课 但是结局是令人沮丧的 -- ※ 编辑: ChesterB 来自: 173.59.231.40 (09/14 11:13)
