大略翻譯 ※ 引述《BlackwizarD ()》之銘言： : 前幾天有人討論到這個金屬圈大件事 : 可是因為舊文章回復 所以討論串又消失了 : 現重貼一遍~~ : ============================================================================== : Dear Tarja, : It`s time to choose whether the story of Nightwish ends here or whether it will : still continue an undetermined period of time. We`ve been working with this : creation for 9 years and we are not ready to give up yet. Nightwish is a way of : life, something to live for, and we`re certain we can`t let it go. : Equally certain is the fact that we cannot go on with you and Marcelo any : longer. During the last year something sad happened, which I`ve been going over : in my head every single day, morning and night. Your attitude and behavior 你的態度跟舉動 : don`t go with Nightwish anymore. There are characteristics I would never have 不再是隨者Nightwish這個團體 : believed to see in my old dear friend. People who don`t talk with each other 一整年不再跟彼此說話的人 : for a year do not belong in the same band. 也不能算是同一個團體的人了 : We are involved in an industry where the business-side of things is a necessary : evil and something to worry about all the time. We are also a band which has : always done music from the heart, because of friendship and the music itself. : The mental satisfaction should always be more important than money! Nightwish : is a band, it`s an emotion. To you, unfortunately, business, money, and things : that have nothing to do with those emotions have become much more important. : You feel that you have sacrificed yourself and your musical career for 你覺得你很滿意自己對Nightwish的音樂表現跟付出 : Nightwish, rather than thinking what it has given to you. : This attitude was clearly shown to me in the two things you said to me in an 這種態度我從你在多倫多的飛機上告訴我的兩件事理看得很明顯: : airplane in Toronto: ”I don`t need Nightwish anymore.” and ”Remember, Tuomas "我不再需要Nightwish" : , that I could leave this band at any time, giving you only one day`s warning "記得,我隨時可以提前一天跟你們說一聲,然後就走人" : in advance”. I can`t simply write any more songs for you to sing. 我沒辦法光是寫任何的歌給你唱了 : You have said yourself that you are merely a ”guest musician” in Nightwish. 你說自己只是個Nightwish的 演唱來賓 : Now that visit ends and we will continue Nightwish with a new female vocalist. 既然面臨了結束,我們也即將以新的女主唱延續Nightwish的生命 : We`re sure this is an equally big relief to you as it is for us. We have all 我想這不管對你還是對我們都是很大的解脫吧,我們已經不爽夠久了. : been feeling bad long enough. : You told us that no matter what, the next Nightwish album will be your last one 你說不論如何下一張Nightwish的專輯都會是你的最後一張 : . However, the rest of us want to continue as long as the fire burns. So 然而我們幾個會繼續的讓他延續 : there`s no sense in doing that next album with you, either. The four of us have 所以跟你一起再做下一張也沒有意義了 : been going over this situation countless times and we have realized that this : is the thing we want to do in life. It’s all we can do. In December 2004, in 我們已經明白那就是我們想做的事.我們可以做所有事! : Germany, you said that you will never tour again for more than two weeks at a 2004年12月在德國,你也說你不會再想巡迴超過兩個禮拜 : time. You also said that we can forget about U.S. and Australia because the 你也說不要管美國.澳洲 因為它們的場地跟費用都太小了 : fees and the sizes of venues are too small. : In interviews I`ve mentioned that if Tarja leaves, that would be the end of the 在訪問中,我曾說過如果你離開了,那會是這個樂團的結束 : band. I understand that people will think this way. Nightwish is, however, a 我想人們也是這樣想的. : scenery of my soul and I`m not ready to let go because of one person. A person 我不想為了一個人而讓他畫下句點 : who wants to focus her creativity to somewhere else, a person whose values : don`t match mine. 為了一個...(前句略)跟我們價值理念不合的人 : We were never bothered by the fact that you didn`t participate in 我們從沒對你不參加歌曲創作或編曲的事感到煩擾 : writing/arranging songs, you never in 9 years came to rehearse the songs with 9年以前,你就不再在進錄音室,來跟我們一起重新編寫歌曲 : us before going to the studio. Not the fact that while on tour you always 你總是在巡迴時只想丟下我們 跟你老公飛去任何地方 : wanted to fly, separately from us with your husband. Not the fact that you are : an undisputable front image of the band. We accepted and felt ok abou : everything except greed, underestimating the fans, and breaking promises. It 我們大部分都覺得OK可以忍受... 不過那是除了貪心.看低樂迷還有破壞誓言以外!!! : was agreed by the five of us that Nightwish would be the priority in everything : that we do during 2004-2005. Still so many things were more important to you. : The ultimate example being the already sold-out show in Oslo, which you wanted 最後一個例子是那場票已售罄.在奧斯陸的演唱會 你居然只因為個人的演唱會要排練,或要跟朋友去看電影 而想把這場演唱會cancel掉 : to cancel because you needed to rehearse for your solo concerts, meet frieds : and go to the movies. Those were the words Marcelo used in an e-mail explaining : the cancellation. This being just one example of so many. I couldn`t think of 這只是許許許多多例子當中的其中一個 我想不到有什麼是比自私跟打發樂迷更糟的行為了 : a worse way of being selfish and dismissing our fans. : Nightwish is a way of life and a job with many obligations. To each other and Nightwish是生活的一部分也是一份有很多責任的工作 對我們彼此跟樂迷都是這樣 : to the fans. With you we can`t take care of those duties anymore. 但有你在,我們卻無法對我們的樂迷好好付出 : Deep within we don`t know which one of you drove us to this point. Somehow : Marcelo has changed you from the lovely girl you were into a diva, who doesn`t 或許Marcelo 將你從一個可愛的小女孩拉拔成了歌劇首席女角 : think or act the way she used to. You are too sure of your irreplaceableness : and status. : It`s obvious that you blame your stress and misery on us four. And you think we 很明顯的你把你的苦難跟壓力歸咎在我們四人身上 : don`t respect or listen to you. Belive us; We have always had the uppermost 你也絕得我們不尊重你也不聽你說的話 但請你相信,我們一直以來都給予你至高的尊重 尊重身為一個完美歌者的你,也是朋友的你 : respect towards you as a wonderful vocalist and as a friend. And very often : during the past couple of years the plans were made according to your decisions : only. You were always the only one who wanted more money from the shows. This 但過去這兩年的計畫卻總是根據你一個人的決定而做改變 你總是那一個嫌表演的錢不夠多想要抬價的人 : ”compensation and more money from everything” –attitude is the fact that : we are most disappointed of! 這種態度是我們最失望的地方! : We wish that from now on you will listen to your heart instead of Marcelo. 希望現在開始你可以清楚聆聽自己,而不是聽信Marcelo : Cultural differences combined with greed, opportunism and love is a dangerous : combination. Do not wither yourself. : This decision is not something we are especially proud of but you gave us no 這決定我們也很不希望,但是沒有其他選擇了 : choice. The gap between us is too wide. And the decision is made by us four 我們之間的鴻溝太深.這是我們四人一致的決定 : unanimously. We are beyond the point where things could be settled by talking. : All the best for your life and career, : Tuomas : Emppu Jukka Marco : Ps. This is an open letter for everybody. 結論是... ORZ --
