继续继续，再挑几段有价值的翻一下
我在1980年（也许是1981年）和Michael录了一些Thriller的样带。这很棒，因为整个过程只有我，Michael和其他Michael叫来的人。"John（，Jonathan Moffit会在12：00到，然后是Greg Phillinganes下午1：00到.......4：00开始录制弦乐部分。"Wow，能这么近距离的和他合作真是太好了。有几天我让Michael在麦克风前录了些人声，那段经历实在太棒了。他常常边唱，边如旋风般地舞动，口中还不时发出那些他音乐中常出现的”grunts, oohs, ahhs“之类的叫声。他让我把地毯拿去，这样他就能跳舞了。而且在录制间隙，Michael还会即兴地清唱一些当时流行的歌曲，我们还常常讨论自己喜欢的音乐。
I then spent some time in 1980 (or 81?) with Michael recording demo's for Thriller. This was great, because it was just the two of us and whoever Michael had coming in. "John, we have Jonathan Moffit coming at 12:00, then Greg Phillinganes at 1:00...oh, and we're recording strings at 4:00!". Wow, what a great experience working so closely with him. I had him on the mic for some days recording vocals, and it was an amazing experience...he would be dancing up a storm while singing and doing all of those "grunts, oohs, ahhs" vocal sounds that would pepper his tracks. He asked me to take up the carpet so he could dance, and in between takes, he would sing other popular songs of the day just freestyle and acapella and we would talk about the music we liked.
Michael的音乐协调感简直是无与伦比。他从来不会跑调，也不用校音，甚至换气都是完美地精准。
His sense of harmony was incredible. Never a bad note, no tuning, even his breathing was perfectly in time.
我大概花了三年和Michael一起工作，而我从来不会质疑他的品德，我也从不相信那些胡乱的断言。我当时甚至还算不上他的粉丝。我看到他和他兄弟的孩子们互动，还有其他人的孩子，又是甚至是我女朋友的孩子（不就是他的孩子么？不知道作者是什么意思，望高人指点）。我还有过去Neverland和他们度过一天的经历。他就是一个完完全全不可思议的人，永远都为所有的孩子们寻求更美好的生活。每个周末，Neverland都会开放给不同的孩子们，患艾滋病的孩子们、患癌症的孩子们等等等等，而大多数时候，Michael甚至都不在那里。
他只是在过着他不曾拥有过的童年罢了。从很多方面来讲，Michael从来没有长大。
I spent close to 3 years working with him, and not once did I question his morals, or ever believe any of the allegations. I wasn't even a fan then. I saw him interact with his brothers kids, other people's children, and at one point my own girlfriend's kids. I got to spend a day at Neverland with them. A completely incredible human being, always looking for a way to make all children's lives better. Every weekend at Neverland was donated to a different children's group - children with AIDS, children cancer, etc., and most of the time he wasn't there.
He was simply living the childhood he never had. In many ways he never grew up.
Michael从Sony那搞到了一台最早的PS游戏机（估计是指当时出产的第一批PS吧），放在他的会客厅里。我们晚上常常会偷偷溜进去，玩那些还未发售的游戏。（和Michael待久了，这些人的童心也都被唤起来了，呵呵）
He got one of the first playstations from sony in his lounge . . . we snuck in late at night to play the games that hadn't been released yet
以下内容是转述的。我的一个朋友大概在10年前和Michael有过合作，他曾提到说直到你与Michael合作过后，你才能真正理解他的才华。他还说Michael的声音是如此有爆发力，甚至可以把麦克风唱爆。事实上，我相信（不太肯定）他曾说过Michael真的唱爆过一个。（汗~~~~~~~~~~~~~）
This is second hand information.... I have a friend who worked with MJ about 10 years ago and he mentioned that you would not understand the talent this guy had until you worked with him. He also said that his voice was powerful enough to break microphones. In fact, I believe (I'm not positive) he said Mike broke one. |
