－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ : I am about to write something I never imagined I'd ever write: : After 25 years, I have decided to leave Dream Theater....the band I founded, : led and truly loved for a quarter of a century. 我將要寫些我從來沒想過我會寫的東西： 那就是決定在２５年後的今天...離開我親手成立、領導、並深愛過的Dream Theater。 : To many people this will come as a complete shock, and will also likely be : misunderstood by some, but please believe me that it is not a hasty : decision...it is something I have struggled with for the last year or so.... : After having had such amazing experiences playing with Hail, Transatlantic : and Avenged Sevenfold this past year, I have sadly come to the conclusion : that I have recently had more fun and better personal relations with these : other projects than I have for a while now in Dream Theater... 對許多人來說這是很大的打擊，而且也有可能會被人誤解，但請相信我這絕對不是個倉促 的決定...而是在過去的一年我一直在掙扎的事情。 在與 Hail、Transatlantic 以及 Avenged Sevenfold 這一年的美好合作演奏經驗下， 很不幸地我得出了：『比起在DT中長期的經驗，在這些活動中，我有著更多的喜悅及更 良好的個人關係』 的這個結論...。 : Please don't misinterpret me, I love the DT guys dearly and have a long : history, friendship and bond that runs incredibly deep with them...it's just : that I think we are in serious need of a little break... : Dream Theater was always my baby...and I nurtured that baby every single day : and waking moment of my life since 1985...24/7, 365...never taking time off : from DT's never-ending responsibilites (even when the band was "off" between : cycles)...working overtime and way beyond the call of duty that most sane : people ever would do for a band... 請大家不要誤解我，我深愛著DT的兄弟們，和他們有著長期的歷史、友誼，並和他們有著 極為深切的關係，只是...我覺得我們現在非常需要短暫的休息...。 Dream Theater一直都是我的寶貝...，從1985年7月24日以來我每天每日、眼睛睜開的日 子我都在養育這個寶貝，一年365天全年無休地背負著DT永無止盡的責任 (即使是在樂團 休息的時間) ...超時的工作及超乎一般人對樂團的付出...。 : But I've come to the conclusion that the DT machine was starting to burn me : out...and I really needed a break from the band in order to save my : relationship with the other members and keep my DT spirit hungry and inspired. : We have been on an endless write/record/tour cycle for almost 20 years now : (of which I have overseen EVERY aspect without a break) and while a few : months apart from each other here & there over the years has been much needed : and helpful, I honestly hoped the band could simply agree with me to taking a : bit of a "hiatus" to recharge our batteries and "save me from ourselves"... : Sadly, in discussing this with the guys, they determined they do not share my : feelings and have decided to continue without me rather than take a : breather...I even offered to do some occasional work throughout 2011 against : my initial wishes, but it was not to be... 我發現這部"DT機器"快要把我燃燒殆盡...我非常需要休息，好讓我挽救與團員間的關係， 並延續我對DT魂的渴望、啟發。 將近20年，我們不停地持續著寫作、錄音、巡迴演唱的循環。 我想這就是MP把DT形容成機器的原因 (其中我馬不停蹄地監督著『每一個』環節) 所以我認為短暫的分離是必須且有幫助的。我真的非常希望樂團答應我，讓樂團『間斷』 一會兒，好讓我們都可以充電一下，並讓我『自我掙脫』...。 令人難過的是在與團員的討論後，他們無法體會我的心情，且已決定在沒有我的情況下繼 續前進，而不願喘息一會兒...，我甚至違背自己本意地提出在2011一起做些臨時的計畫， 但依然沒有達成共識...。 : While it truly hurts for me to even think of a Dream Theater without Mike : Portnoy (hell, my father named the band!!), I do not want to stand in their : way...so I have decided to sacrifice myself and simply leave the band so as : to not hold them back against their wishes.... : Strangely enough, I just read an interview that I recently did that asked me : about the future of DT and I talked about "always following your heart and : being true to yourself"...sadly I must say that at this particular moment, my : heart is not with Dream Theater...and I would simply be "going through the : motions", and would honestly NOT be true to myself if I stayed for the sake : of obligation without taking the break I felt I needed. 想到沒有Mike Pornoy的Dream Theater，就讓我非常心痛。(搞什麼鬼，這我爸取的團名耶!!) 我不想阻礙他們...，所以我決定犧牲自己，離開樂團，不妨礙他們的意願.... 說來奇怪，我正巧讀到最近一篇關於我的訪談報導，詢問我關於DT的未來，而我說：『永 遠跟隨自己的心，真誠對待自己。』...而我現在要說的是此時此刻我的心已不在 Dream Theater上了...，而就對此事"虛應故事"吧 如果我為了責任留下來而忽略了自己需要的休息，那我就是對自己不夠真誠了。 : I wish the guys the best and hope the music and legacy we created together is : enjoyed by fans for decades to come...I am proud of every album we made, : every song we wrote and every show we played.... : I'm sorry to all the disappointed DT fans around the world...I really tried : to salvage the situation and make it work...I honestly just wanted a break : (not a split)...but happiness cannot be forced, it needs to come from : within.... : You DT fans are the greatest fans in the world and as you all know, I have : always busted my ass for you guys and I hope that you will stay with me on my : future musical journey, wherever it may lead me....(and as you all know my : work ethic, there will surely be no shortage of future MP projects!) : Sadly... : Your fearless ex-leader and drummer, : MP 真心祝福他們，希望我們的音樂和我們所一起創造的遺產，會在未來的數十年一直被歌迷 喜愛...，我為我們所製作的每張專輯、我們所寫每首歌、我們所演奏的每場演出感到 驕傲...。 對失望的全世界DT歌迷，我感到非常地抱歉...，我真的試過挽回情勢...，我真的只是想 要休息(不是拆夥）...，但幸福是不能強求的，而是來自內心...。 DT歌迷們，如你們所知，你們是世界上最棒的歌迷。我總是為了你們沒屁股地努力不懈， 所以希望你們會在我未來的音樂旅程中跟隨著我，不論未來是如何(不確定是不是這樣翻)... (如你們所知的，以我的工作倫理來說，未來是不可能會有MP計劃短缺的情形的!) 很遺憾地... 你那無所畏懼的 前團長 兼 股手 MP --
