AK这段致词讲得真好。 Anthony Kiedis: “I met Flea when I was fifteen years old. I thought I knew something, but I didn’t know that much. They talk about being in the right place in the right time, well I was in the right place at the right time when I met Flea. He would change my life forever, and for the better, and we’re still together… that was thirty-five years ago… 我15岁时遇见Flea。我想我预料到些什麽，但我没想到这麽多。人们总说天时地利， 我就是在最佳的时间与地点遇见了Flea。他改变了我的一生，更棒的是， 我们还在一起...至今已经35年了。 The next guy I met that would change my life was Hillel Slovak, when I was sixteen. These guys knew about music, they practiced hard. Jack and Hillel went to music school on the same day for the first time. And I didn’t know anything about practicing music or playing, but I loved these guys and they invited me into the circle. 下一个改变我的人是Hillel Slovak，在我16岁的时候。这些人懂音乐，他们拼死练团。 Jack与Hillel第一次见面是两人同时间去了音乐学校。 我当时完全不懂练团或弹奏，但我爱这些家伙，而他们邀我加入这个小圈圈。 Early on, in the history of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I was struggling with some demons, and some drug addiction. My band were being very compassionate and patient with my issues… and one day I stayed up a little too late and I was hungover and passed out, and I think Flea had kind of come to the end of his road, and he came and he found me in a little one room apartment above a pizza parlour, and he said, ‘Antho man, just, you’re fucked up, and I don’ t know that I can do this anymore.’ And I came out of my stupor and I kind of turned my eyes and I said, ‘But Flea, I was gonna be the James Brown of the eighties!’ And the look on his face was like, ‘Shit, you were weren’t you? Ok, let’s, let’s keep goin’, and he… and he forgave me! It’s like one more time my friends had love and forgiveness, and that was just the beginning of many times that I would require a little love and forgiveness from the guys that would end up becoming my family. 早年的红椒历史中，我时常跟恶魔搏斗，以及深陷药瘾。 我的乐团对於我的问题，都抱着同理心与耐心...某一天，我起晚了， 又加上宿醉而昏厥过去，我想着Flea应该会过来， 於是他来了，看到我窝在披萨店楼上的小公寓里，他说： 「老兄，你真是够了，我实在不知道这样要怎麽走下去。」 我忽然清醒，恢复神智回他说： 「但，Flea，我要当八零年代的James Brown啊！」 他当时脸上的表情就好像在说着：靠，你现在还不是吗？好吧，那就继续吧 然後他...他就原谅我了！这是我的朋友再一次给我爱与谅解， 这还只是头几次而已，这些给我关怀与体谅的人最终都成了我的家人。 Nothing could ever compare to the love of losing Hillel Slovak in his prime. You know, we were young men and we were living hard and very unschooled in the ways of life, and we lost the heart and soul and the architect of the Red Hot Chili Peppers at a very young point in time when he was just getting ready to keep changing the world with his music. 没有什麽比得上我对英年早逝的Hillel Slovak的爱。 我们当时都相当年轻，我们教育程度不高，生活艰困， 然後我们失去了呛辣红椒这个乐团的心、灵魂与创造者， 就在他准备好用他的音乐改变世界的时候。 Hillel Slovak was a funny, beautiful, stylish wizard of a friend and a guitar player, and he left us with something which was… a band and a love and a desire to carry on, and everything we do he will always be with us forever, he ’s with us right now. And like so many things when disasters happen beautiful things are born from them, and the next thing that was born was the entrance of John Frusciante… Hillel Slovak是位风趣、美丽、独具风格的朋友与吉他手，而他留给我们一些东西... 一个乐团，一份爱，一份渴望，让我们往前走，不管我们做什麽，他都与我们同在， 他现在就在这里。就像所有事情一样，毁灭也带来美丽新生， 下一个诞生的便是John Frusciante的加入... He was a mind-blowing young man, very much a student of the school of Hillel Slovak, among many other art forms and musicians, and his creative spirit drove us to new heights. He was on fire and he was just one of the most amazing artists on Earth and we were luck to have him in this band twice, and write music with him. We’re forever grateful to you John Frusciante. 他是一位令人惊艳的年轻人，他也是Hillel Slovak以及其他先辈的跟随者， 他的创作活力引领着我们，他是充满爆发力的、让人赞叹的艺术家， 而我们乐团很幸运能拥有他，两次， 并且与他一起创作音乐。我们很感谢你，John Frusciante。 Now, we are with Josh Klinghoffer who is going to give his acceptance speech by way of guitar playing later in the evening. He is a beautiful and lovely man, and I could not be happier to be in a band with him, he is the greatest. In fact, Chad, Josh and Flea are my favourite musicians on Earth. 现在，我们有了Josh Klinghoffer，他稍晚要透过吉他来传达他的致辞。 他是个美丽又可爱的人，没有什麽比和他一起待在乐团更开心了，他是最棒的。 其实，Chad、Josh与Flea是我世上最爱的音乐人。 I have a very wild father and a very mild mother, and then they both made me who I am, and I wanted to thank my father for introducing me to the arts, for inspiring me to be a free-thinker and go out and find that for myself. He’s a big part of who I am today, and, although my mother was much more… sort of, mild and laid back about the whole thing, I realized years later that I watched her suit up and show up for about fourty years going to work, and she taught me the lesson of what it is to suit up and show up and put your pants on and go to work every day, and the gratification that comes from doing that. So thank you mom and dad, I love you both. 我有很狂野的父亲，以及很温柔的母亲，他们都成就了今日的我。 我要感谢我的父亲，教导我艺术，教我要自由思考，教我追寻自己的价值。 他成就了大部分的我，虽然我妈的影响或许又再多一点...，像是云淡风轻的态度。 几年後我才明白，我看着她每天穿好衣服，四十年来从未旷职， 她教我每天就该这样打点好自己然後出去上班，这可以让你得到满足。 所以谢谢你老妈，还有老爸，我爱你们。 We’ve been luckier than most. We’ve been able to work with some of the coolest, most amazing minds in music, including the man I’m looking at right now, Rick Rubin, I love you rick. Sitting right next to George Clinton, who I love so much. Both guys are a dream come true for us, we were kids and they said, ‘If you could have anybody in the world producing, who would it be?’, we said George Clinton, they said, ‘Done’, we were like ‘What!?’ The next thing we know we were in Detroit Michigan, tracking with George. And that’s how it got started, thank you George, you are the man forever. 我们何其幸运。我们可以和最酷最了不起的音乐人一起工作，包括了，我找一下， Rick Rubin，我爱你Rick。他就坐在我好爱的George Clinton。 你们是让我们梦想成真的关键，我们还小时，他们说： 「如果你能挑制作人，你会挑谁？」 我们说：「George Clinton」他们接着说：「说定了！」 我们一整个吃惊。接着我们就来到Detroit Michigan，和George一起录歌。 我们就是这样开始的，谢谢你，George，你永远是最棒的。 (George Clinton制作了第二张专辑"Freaky Styley") --
