When she married music producer David Gest in London in 2002 (more of him in a moment), she was attended by Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and — bizarrely — Martine McCutcheon. Sadly, the first two are now dead. ‘But there’s not a day,’ she says, ‘when I don’t think of Michael.’ 她02年嫁给David Gest时的宾客有MJ和伊莉莎白泰勒 而这两人都已过世 她说没有一天 我不想到麦可 She refuses to be drawn on the upcoming trial for involuntary manslaughter of Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray. But she’s happy to recollect the Michael she knew. 她拒绝谈论到Murray的案子 但很乐意谈论她所认识的麦可 ‘He was a supremely gifted human being but he didn’t survive, in my opinion, because he’d never been taught the rules of the game,’ says Liza. ‘He and his brothers and sisters were forced to rehearse round the clock while other kids were playing basketball. 他是最有天赋的人 但他没能活下去 在我的看法 他从没有真的被教好怎麽完这个游戏 他和他的兄弟姊妹是被逼着去采排 而其他的孩子在同年龄是在玩篮球 ‘Michael’s life was precisely the one dictated by his father. The family’s religion [the parents are Jehovah’s Witnesses] means the children weren’t even meant to be in show business. But, when they started making money for their father, that was it. Michael was used and abused almost from the time he was born. 麦可的人生完全被他老爸给操弄 而他家的信仰(耶和华见证人)他家的孩子本不该去走 娱乐圈的 但当他们开始可以为老爸赚钱时 就这样了 麦可从他一出生就被利用和虐待 ‘Eventually, he distanced himself from his family, created this wonderful place — Neverland — for kids and supported different families. Then, one day, the father in one of those families called up Michael and said, “Unless you give me $30,000, I’m going to tell everyone you made a pass at my son.” And that’s when Michael called me. 最後 他远离他的家人 打造了完美的世界梦幻庄园 给孩子们和很多家人 然後有一天 有个家庭的父亲就打给麦可说 如果你不给我三万块 我就要告诉所有人 你骚扰我儿子 那时候麦可打了电话给我 ‘When he’d finished his story, I remember pausing and then saying: “ Michael, maybe you should tell your lawyer about this.” He said: “But it’s insane.” So I repeated my advice. “It’s blackmail, though,” he said. “It is,” I replied, “and that’s why you need to involve your lawyer.” But he wouldn’t. 当他跟我讲完这件事 我记得我停了一下说 麦可你应该打电话给你的律师 他说 但是这 太疯狂了 我重复跟他讲了一次 他说但这是黑函勒索 我回答 没错所以你应该打给你的 律师 但他不愿意这样做 ‘What everyone forgets is that, when kids stayed at Neverland, their parents came, too. And they were treated grandly. But then other people jumped on the bandwagon.’ 很多人忘记 不只孩子们在梦幻中原 他们的家长也在 而且他们被盛情招待 但就有人利用 She sighs. ‘I remember he was going with this girl and he was so in love with her. He came to show me the ring he’d bought for her. I asked him what he was going to say and he didn’t know. So I said: “Let’s rehearse,” and that’s what we did. 我记得他很爱一个女孩子跟她出去约会 他来给我看了他买给她的戒指 我问他你知道你 接下来要怎麽说吗 他不知道 所以我说 让我们来排演一下吧 我们排演了一番 ‘But the girl turned him down. She said she wasn’t ready to commit right now. She told him to ask again in six months. And it all but killed him. He was heartbroken. I knew all his girlfriends including Lisa Marie who became his wife.’ 但那个女生拒绝了他 (布鲁克雪德斯?) 她说她还没准备好结婚 要他半年後再问 他伤透了心 我认识他所有的女朋友 包括LMP Liza thinks she knows what killed her friend. ‘In the end, the scorn, the cruelty, the vicious meanness — these are the things that took his life. He was one of the best performers we’ve ever had. He changed everything. But he was only a king when he was on stage.’ 她说她知道是甚麽杀了她的朋友 到最後那些鄙视 严酷 卑鄙的这些事情杀了他 他是我们有过最好的演出者 他改变了所有事情 但只有在舞台上 他才是国王 -- In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. In a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. ~~~~By Michael Jackson --
