Harry Baker: A love poem for lonely prime numbers

譯者: Sherry Chen 審譯者: Yamei Huang

My name is Harry Baker. Harry Baker is my name.

我的名字是哈里•貝克。 哈里•貝克是我的名字。

If your name was Harry Baker, then our names would be the same.

如果你的名字是哈里•貝克的話， 那我們就是同名。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

It's a short introductory part.

這段話是簡短的介紹語。

Yeah, I'm Harry.

對，我是哈里。

I study maths. I write poetry.

我學習數學。我還寫詩。

So I thought I'd start with a love poem about prime numbers.

所以我想，就先為大家 念一首關於質數的情詩吧。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

This is called "59."

這首詩名叫「59」。

I was going to call it "Prime Time Loving."

我原本想將它命名為 「黃金檔之戀」。

That reaction is why I didn't.

各位的反應就是為什麼 我沒有這樣做。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

So, "59."

嗯，「59」。

59 wakes up on the wrong side of the bed.

「59」 正在生起床氣。

Realizes all his hair is on one side of his head.

原來他的頭髮全都在腦袋的一邊。

Takes just under a minute to work out that it’s because of the way that he slept.

花不到一分鐘時間就想明白， 這是因為他睡覺的方式造成的。

He finds some clothes and gets dressed.

他找了衣服，穿著打扮完畢。

He can’t help but look in the mirror and be subtly impressed

他不禁看著鏡子裡的自己， 心裡有股微妙的觸動，

How he looks rough around the edges and yet casually messed.

他看起來不修邊幅， 有時還無端地陷入狼狽的處境。

And as he glances out the window, he sees the sight that he gets blessed with

他往窗外瞥了一眼， 看到一個景象，那就是

of 60 from across the street.

他受到來自街對面「60」的 祝福。

Now 60 was beautiful.

60 則是美豔絕倫。

With perfectly trimmed cuticles, dressed in something suitable.

外表經過完美的打扮，衣著得體。

Never rude or crude at all.

從沒有失禮或粗魯的行為。

Unimprovable, right on time as usual, more on cue than a snooker ball

不長進的搭訕，總說是巧合， 比白球（撞球）還準時到達目地，

but liked to play it super cool.

卻總是不露聲色。

59 wanted to tell her that he knew her favorite flower.

「59」 想要告訴 「60」， 他知道她最喜歡的花。

He thought of her every second, every minute, every hour.

他時時刻刻都在想著她。

But he knew it wouldn’t work, he’d never get the girl.

但他知道，這一招不管用， 他永遠追不到她。

Because although she lived across the street

儘管她就住在街對面，

they came from different worlds.

他們卻來自截然不同的世界。

While 59 admired 60’s perfectly round figure,

當 「59」欣賞 「60」 那婀娜玲瓏的身姿時，

60 thought 59 was odd. (Laughter)

60 覺得 59 這個奇數好奇怪。 （笑聲）

One of his favorite films was "101 Dalmatians."

他最喜歡的電影之一 是「101忠狗」。

She preferred the sequel.

她卻喜歡那部電影的續集。

He romanticized the idea they were star-crossed lovers.

他幻想著他倆是一對不幸的戀人，

They could overcome the odds and evens because they had each other.

他們可以跨越奇偶數的差異， 因為他們擁有彼此。

While she maintained the strict views imposed on her by her mother

而她卻固守著 母親強加給她的舊觀念，

That separate could not be equal.

奇偶之間的差距，永遠無法劃出等號。

And though at the time he felt stupid and dumb

儘管那時他感到愚鈍，

For trying to love a girl controlled by her stupid mum,

因為他愛著一個女孩， 而她卻被自己愚蠢的母親控制著。

He should have been comforted by the simple sum.

他早該從簡單的總和中找到安慰。

Take 59 away from 60, and you’re left with the one.

將 59 從 60 身邊移開， 就只剩下 1 了，那便是真命天子。

Sure enough after two months of moping around,

當然啦，兩個月的悶悶不樂之後，

61 days later, 61 was who he found,

也就是 61 天後，59 找到了 61。

He had lost his keys and his parents were out.

他把鑰匙弄丟了，父母也不在家。

So one day after school he went into a house

所以有一天放學後，他走進一間房子，

As he noticed the slightly wonky numbers on the door,

正當他看到門口那有些搖晃的數字時，

He wondered why he’d never introduced himself before,

他奇怪自己怎麼從未前來介紹自己。

As she let him in, his jaw dropped in awe.

她讓他進門，他簡直驚呆了。

61 was like 60, but a little bit more. (Laughter)

61 就像 60 一樣， 只不過比他多了一點點。（笑聲）

She had prettier eyes, and an approachable smile,

她的眼睛更漂亮，笑容很親切，

And like him, rough around the edges, casual style,

就像他一樣，她也是不修邊幅， 風格很隨意。

And like him, everything was in disorganized piles,

就像他一樣， 物品雜亂無章地堆砌著。

And like him, her mum didn’t mind if friends stayed a while.

就像他一樣，她的媽媽也不介意 朋友們是否多呆一會兒。

Because she was like him, and he liked her.

因為她就像他一樣，而他喜歡上了她。

He reckoned she would like him if she knew he was like her,

他尋思著，她也會喜歡上自己的， 如果她知道他們倆這麼像的話。

And it was different this time. I mean, this girl was wicked,

而這一次，真的不一樣了。 我是說，這個女孩有魔力似的，

So he plucked up the courage and asked for her digits.

於是他鼓起勇氣問她要了號碼。

She said, "I'm 61." He grinned, said, "I'm 59."

她說：「我是61。」 他咧嘴笑道：「我是59」。

Today I’ve had a really nice time,

我今天過得很愉快。

So tomorrow if you wanted you could come over to mine?

明天，如果你願意， 你能來我家玩嗎？

She said, "Sure."

她說：「當然啦。」

She loved talking to someone just as quirky,

她喜歡跟和自己一樣古怪的人講話。

She agreed to this unofficial first date.

她答應了這一次非正式的初次約會。

In the end he was only ready one minute early,

最終，他在約定時間 一分鐘前才准備好，

But it didn’t matter because she arrived one minute late.

但沒關係，因為她 在約定時間一分鐘後才到。

And from that moment on there was nonstop chatter,

自那一刻起，兩人便侃侃而談，

How they loved "X Factor," how they had two factors,

他們有多喜歡「X 音素」節目， 因為他們都有兩個「因素」，

How that did not matter, distinctiveness made them better,

而那沒有關係，因為差異 讓他們更加美好。

By the end of the night they knew they were meant together.

夜色盡頭，他們知道彼此註定要廝守。

And one day she was talking about stuck-up 60,

而有一天，她正談論著高傲的 60，

She noticed that 59 looked a bit shifty.

她注意到 59 有些目光閃躲。

He blushed, told her of his crush:

他羞紅了臉，告訴她 自己曾對 60 的迷戀：

“The best thing that never happened because it led to us.”

「那是從未發生的事當中最美好的， 因為那讓我們相遇。」

61 was clever, see, not prone to jealousy,

61 是個聰明的女孩， 她沒有急著吃醋。

She looked him in the eyes and told him quite tenderly,

她看著他的眼睛，溫柔地告訴他：

"You’re 59, I’m 61, together we combine to become twice what 60 could ever be."

「你是 59，我是 61，我們在一起 就是 60 的兩倍。」

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

At this point 59 had tears in his eyes,

這一刻，59 眼裡噙著淚水，

Was so glad to have this one-of-a-kind girl in his life.

為自己人生中能擁有這樣一個 獨一無二的女孩而感到高興。

He told her the very definition of being prime

他告訴她，作為質數的終極定義

Was that with only one and himself could his heart divide,

就是他的心能只能給「1」這真命天女 和他自己，

And she was the one he wanted to give his heart to,

而她就是讓他想交出真心的人。

She said she felt the same and now she knew the films were half true.

她說她也有相同的感受， 現在她知道電影都是半真半假的，

Because that wasn't real love, that love was just a sample,

因為那並不是真愛， 電影裡的愛只是一個範例。

When it came to real love, they were a prime example.

而說到真愛，59 和 61 才是最佳質數愛侶

Cheers.

謝謝。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

That was the first poem that I wrote

那是我寫的第一首詩，

and it was for a prime number-themed poetry night -- (Laughter) --

是一個以質數為主題的 詩歌之夜寫的--（笑聲）--

which turned out to be a prime number-themed poetry competition.

其實是一場以質數為主題的詩歌競賽。

And I became a prime number-themed poetry competition winner,

而我贏得了這場以質數 為主題的詩歌競賽，

or as I like to call it, a prime minister. (Laughter)

或者正如我喜歡這樣說， 我成為了「首相」。（笑聲）

And this is how I discovered these things called poetry slams,

而我就是這樣發現詼諧詩歌會的，

and if you don't know what a poetry slam is,

如果你不知道詼諧詩歌會是什麼，

it was a format come up with in America 30 years ago

那是 30 年前在美國 出現的一種形式，

as a way of tricking people into going to poetry events

它被用來慫恿人們參加詩歌活動，

by putting an exciting word like "slam" on the end.

通過在句尾加上一個諸如 「詼諧」之類的令人興奮的詞。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And each performer got three minutes to perform

每個表演者有三分鐘進行表演，

and then random audience members would hold up scorecards,

然後隨機的觀眾會舉起打分卡，

and they would end up with a numerical score,

這場表演就會得到一個分數，

and what this meant is,

而這意味著，

it kind of broke down the barrier between performer and audience

它破除了表演者和觀眾之間的障礙，

and encouraged the kind of connection with the listener.

鼓勵講者與聽者建立聯繫。

And what it also means is you can win.

這也意味著你有可能贏得比賽。

And if you win a poetry slam, you can call yourself a slam champion

如果你在一場詼諧詩歌會中獲勝， 你就能自稱「詼諧詩冠軍」，

and pretend you're a wrestler,

假裝自己是個摔跤運動員。

and if you lose a poetry slam you can say, "Oh, what? Poetry's a subjective art form,

而如果你輸了，你也可以說： 「那又怎樣？詩歌是主觀的藝術形式，

you can't put numbers on such things."

你不能給它們打分啊！」

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

But I loved it, and I got involved in these slams,

我可愛死它了， 我也參與了這些詩歌會，

and I became the U.K. slam champion

然後我成為了英國的詼諧詩冠軍，

and got invited to the Poetry World Cup in Paris,

並受邀參加在巴黎舉辦的詩歌世界盃，

which was unbelievable.

那真是令人難以置信。

It was people from all around the world speaking in their native languages

來自全球各地的人用他們的母語朗誦，

to be judged by five French strangers.

然後被五個陌生的法國人評判。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And somehow, I won, which was great,

不知怎麼回事，我贏了，這很贊，

and I've been able to travel the world since doing it,

而我因此得以環遊世界，

but it also means that this next piece

但這也意味著，下一首詩

is technically the best poem in the world.

真的是全世界最好的詩。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

So...

那麼......

(Applause)

（掌聲）

According to five French strangers.

根據這五位陌生法國人的評判。

So this is "Paper People."

所以這首詩叫「紙人」。

I like people.

我喜歡人。

I'd like some paper people.

我想要一些紙人。

They’d be purple paper people. Maybe pop-up purple paper people.

他們會是紫色紙人。 或許是彈起式紫色紙人。

Proper pop-up purple paper people.

合適的彈起式紫色紙人。

"How do you prop up pop-up purple paper people?"

「你該怎麼撐著彈起式紫色紙人呢？」

I hear you cry. Well I ...

我聽到你在哭泣。呃，我...

I’d probably prop up proper pop-up purple paper people

我可能會撐著彈起式紫色紙人

with a proper pop-up purple people paperclip,

用合適的彈起式紫色人形別針，

but I’d pre-prepare appropriate adhesives as alternatives,

但是我會提前準備適當的貼膠 以作為替補，

a cheeky pack of Blu Tack just in case the paper slipped.

一疊厚厚的寶貼膠，以防紙張滑落。

Because I could build a pop-up metropolis.

因為我能搭建彈起式都市，

but I wouldn’t wanna deal with all the paper people politics.

可我不想處理紙人的政治，

paper politicians with their paper-thin policies,

紙人政治家和他們薄如紙張的政策，

broken promises without appropriate apologies.

從未實現的承諾， 卻也從未適當地道歉過。

There’d be a little paper me. And a little paper you.

會有一個小小的紙人版的我， 和一個小小的紙人版的你。

And we could watch paper TV and it would all be pay-per-view.

我們可以一起看看紙質電視， 電視都是紙（支）付觀看哦。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

We’d see the poppy paper rappers rap about their paper package

我們會看到流行紙張說唱歌手 說唱著關於他們的紙盒包裝，

or watch paper people carriers get stuck in paper traffic on the A4.

或者看著紙人裝載器 堵塞在 A4 紙的紙交通中。

(Laughter) Paper.

（笑聲）紙。

There’d be a paper princess Kate but we’d all stare at paper Pippa,

會有一位紙公主凱特， 但是我們都會盯著皮帕看，

and then we’d all live in fear of killer Jack the Paper-Ripper,

而且我們都會生活在 對「開紙手傑克」的恐懼中，

because the paper propaganda propagates the people's prejudices,

因為紙質政治宣傳語 散佈著人們的偏見，

papers printing pictures of the photogenic terrorists.

紙上印著上鏡的恐怖主義者的照片。

A little paper me. And a little paper you.

一個小小的紙質的我， 和一個小小的紙質的你。

And in a pop-up population people’s problems pop up too.

伴隨著彈起的人口數量， 人們的問題也不斷增長。

There’d be a pompous paper parliament who remained out of touch,

華而不實的紙質議會總是不理政事，

and who ignored the people's protests about all the paper cuts,

而且對紙人們抗議剪紙 統統都視而不見，

then the peaceful paper protests would get blown to paper pieces,

而紙人們的和平抗議 會演化為紙屑灰飛煙滅，

by the confetti cannons manned by pre-emptive police.

紙警察們用彩紙炮彈先發制人。

And yes there’d still be paper money, so there’d still be paper greed,

當然啦還會有紙幣， 所以也會有紙（止）不住的貪婪，

and the paper piggy bankers pocketing more than they need,

而貪婪的紙銀行家們中飽私囊，

purchasing the potpourri to pepper their paper properties,

購買了各種投資組合， 散佈到他們的紙質房產中，

others live in poverty and ain’t acknowledged properly.

其他紙人卻活在貧賤之中， 並未受到恰當認可。

A proper poor economy where so many are proper poor,

一個貧窮的經濟體中 許多人都十分貧窮，

but while their needs are ignored the money goes to big wars.

但當他們的需求被忽視時， 錢卻被投入戰爭中。

Origami armies unfold plans for paper planes

摺紙做成的軍隊 展開了他們紙飛機的計劃，

and we remain imprisoned in our own paper chains,

而我們繼續被囚禁在自己的紙枷鎖中，

but the greater shame is that it always seems to stay the same,

但更可恥的是，一切似乎都不曾改變，

what changes is who’s in power choosing how to lay the blame,

只不過當權者換了一個又一個， 他們選擇著如何推卸責任，

they’re naming names, forgetting these are names of people,

指名道姓地抨擊對手， 忘了這些可都是人的名字，

because in the end it all comes down to people.

因為說到底，都是關於人。

I like people.

我喜歡人。

'Cause even when the situation’s dire,

因為即使事態十分悲慘，

it is only ever people who are able to inspire,

唯有人才能夠激勵人，

and on paper, it’s hard to see how we all cope.

而紙上談兵，難以見真功夫。

But in the bottom of Pandora’s box there’s still hope,

但潘多拉魔盒的深處還蘊藏著希望，

and I still hope 'cause I believe in people.

而我依然懷抱希望，因為我相信人。

People like my grandparents.

像我祖父母一樣的人。

Who every single day since I was born,

自從我出生起，他們每一天

have taken time out of their morning to pray for me.

都會在清晨抽出時間，為我祈禱。

That’s 7892 days straight of someone checking I’m okay,

7892 天連續不間斷地 看看我是否安然無恙，

and that’s amazing.

那真是太神奇了。

People like my aunt who puts on plays with prisoners.

像我嬸嬸一樣的人們， 和犯人一起演出話劇。

People who are capable of genuine forgiveness.

那些能夠真正地寬恕他人的人。

People like the persecuted Palestinians.

就像那些被迫害的巴勒斯坦人。

People who go out of their way to make your life better,

那些特意費心思讓你的生活 變得更加美好的人，

and expect nothing in return.

他們卻從不期待任何回報。

You see, people have potential to be powerful.

你知道嗎，人們是有潛力變得強大的。

Just because the people in power tend to pretend to be victims

單單因為有權有勢的人 往往會假裝成受害者，

we don’t need to succumb to that system.

並不意味著我們就要屈服於那個體制。

And a paper population is no different.

對於紙質人口來說亦然。

There’s a little paper me. And a little paper you.

有一個小小的紙質的我。 還有一個小小的紙質的你。

And in a pop-up population people's problems pop up too,

伴隨著彈起的人口數量， 人們的問題也不斷增長。

but even if the whole world fell apart then we’d still make it through.

但即使天崩地裂，我們也會撐過去的。

Because we’re people.

因為我們是人。

Thank you.

謝謝。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

Thank you very much. I've just got time for one more.

非常感謝大家。 我正好還有時間再念一首詩。

For me, poetry has been the ultimate way of ideas without frontiers.

對我而言，詩歌是無國界 傳遞思想的終極方法。

When I first started,

當我剛剛開始寫詩時，

the people who inspired me were the ones with the amazing stories,

激勵過我的那些人都有著精彩的故事，

and I thought, as an 18-year-old with a happy life, it was too normal,

我當時想，我才 18 歲， 生活無憂無慮，太普通了，

but I could create these worlds where I could talk about my experiences

但我可以創造出文字世界， 用它們來談論自己的經歷、

and dreams and beliefs.

夢想和信仰。

So it's amazing to be here in front of you today.

今天能夠站在大家面前， 實在令我驚嘆。

Thank you for being here.

謝謝各位前來。

If you weren't here,

如果各位沒來的話，

it would be pretty much like the sound check yesterday.

那就會跟昨天的調音彩排一樣尷尬了。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And this is more fun.

這樣更加有趣。

So this last one is called "The Sunshine Kid."

那麼最後一首詩叫做「陽光小子」。

Thank you very much for listening.

多謝各位聆聽。

Old man sunshine was proud of his sun,

太陽老公公為他的兒子感到驕傲，

And it brightened his day to see his little boy run,

於是它照亮他的天空， 看著他盡情奔跑。

Not because of what he’d done, nor the problems overcome,

倒不是因為他有過什麼成就， 也不是因為跨越了困難，

But that despite that his disposition remained a sunny one.

儘管他的性情依舊開朗，

It hadn’t always been like this.

它卻並不總是這樣。

There’d been times when he’d tried to hide his brightness,

曾經有段時間， 他試著掩飾自己的光芒。

You see, every star hits periods of hardship,

你看，每顆恒星都有遇到困難的時候，

It takes a brighter light to inspire them through the darkness.

要獲得更閃亮的光芒 才能激勵它們渡過黑暗的日子。

If we go back to when he was born in a nebula,

如果我們回到當他剛出生， 還是一朵星雲的時候，

We know that he never was thought of as regular,

我們就知道他當初 從不被認為是正常的，

Because he had a flair about him,

因為他天資聰慧，

To say the Midas touch is wrong

說「點石成金」都不足以形容。

But all he went near seemed to turn a little bronze,

但他長大後也只不過顯露出一絲銅色。

Yes this sun was loved by some more than others,

沒錯，有些人比另一些人 更愛這顆太陽，

It was a case of Joseph and his dreamcoat and his brothers

這就是聖經中雅各第十一子約瑟 和他的神奇彩衣以及他兄弟們的故事。

Because standing out from the crowd had its pros and its cons,

因為鶴立雞群的後果總是有好有壞，

And jealousy created enemies in those he outshone

而嫉妒心讓那些沒有他 耀眼的恒星視他為敵，

Such as the Shadow People.

比如說「陰影人」。

Now the Shadow People didn’t like the Sunshine Kid,

陰影人不喜歡陽光小子，

Because he showed up the dark things the Shadow People did,

因為他照射出陰影人 曾做過的陰暗之事。

And when he shone he showed the places where the Shadow People hid,

當他照耀大地時，他照射著 陰影人的藏身之處，

So the Shadow People had an evil plan to get rid of him,

於是陰影人想出了一個邪惡的計劃， 來除掉太陽小子。

First up -- they made fun of his sunspots,

首先 ﹣ 他們嘲笑他的太陽黑子，

Shooting his dreams from the sky, their words were gunshots,

他們的話語如同射出的子彈， 從空中向他的夢想射擊，

Designed to remind him he wasn’t very cool

目的就是為了提醒他， 他並沒有那麼酷。

And he didn’t fit in with any popular kids at school.

而且他跟學校裡任何 受歡迎的小孩都合不來。

They said his head was up in space and they would bring him down to Earth,

他們說他的頭驕傲地高掛空中， 他們要把他拽下來，讓他腳踏實地。

Essentially he came from nothing and that is what he was worth,

他出生貧賤，一文不值。

He’d never get to go to university to learn,

他從未能進入大學學習，

Only degrees he’d ever show would be the first degree burns

唯一能出示的等級證書 是一級燒傷證明，

From those that came too close,

是他在那些靠的太近的人身上留下的，

they told him he was too bright,

他們說他太耀眼了，

That’s why no one ever looked him in the eyes,

那也是為什麼從來都沒有人正眼看他。

His judgment became clouded

他的判斷力被埋上一層陰影，

So did the sky, With evaporated tears

天空亦然，伴隨著蒸發的淚水，

as the sun started to cry.

太陽淚如雨下。

Because the sunshine kid was bright, with a warm personality,

因為陽光小子太耀眼了， 性格平易近人，

And inside he burned savagely

可他內心卻在狂野地燃燒，

Hurt by the words and curses of the shadowy folk

被那些陰影傢伙的言語和詛咒傷害，

who spoke holes in his soul and left cavities,

他們談及他靈魂的缺陷， 在他身上留下傷痕。

And as his heart hardened, his spark darkened,

他的心逐漸變硬，光芒日益暗淡，

Every time they called him names it cooled his flames,

他們每一次的咒罵都會澆熄他的火焰。

He thought they might like him if he kept his light dim

他以為他們會喜歡上他， 如果他韜光養晦一些。

But they were busy telling lightning she had terrible aim,

但他們卻忙於告訴閃電， 她瞄得太不准了，

He couldn’t quite get to grips with what they said,

他無法認真對待他們所說的話，

So he let his light be eclipsed by what they said,

於是便讓他的光芒， 受那流言蜚語的侵蝕。

He fell into a Lone Star State like Texas,

他變成了一顆孤星，正如德州的別名，

And felt like he’d been punched in his solar plexus.

而且感到他的心頭被狠狠一擊。

But that’s when Little Miss Sunshine came along

但此時陽光小姐降臨，

Singing her favorite song about how we’re made to be strong,

唱著她最愛的歌， 關於我們如何變得堅強，

And you don’t have to be wrong to belong, Just be true to who you are,

你無須犯錯才能找到歸屬感， 只需真誠地面對自己，

because we are all stars at heart.

因為本質上，我們都是恒星。

Little Miss Sunshine was hot stuff,

陽光小姐炙熱而妖豔，

The kind of girl when you looked at her

是那種女孩，當你看著她的時候，

you forgot stuff,

你就會忘了其他事情。

But for him, there was no forgetting her,

但對他來說，絕不會忘記她。

The minute he saw her her image burned in his retina,

見到她的那一刻，她的樣子 就深深地烙在他眼底。

She was out of this world, and she accepted him,

她不屬於這個世界，卻接受了他。

Something about this girl meant he knew whenever she was next to him,

他知道這個女孩有個特點， 每一次她在身邊時，

Things weren’t as dark as they seemed, and he dared to dream,

事情就不會像它們看上去那般黑暗， 他也就敢於夢想。

Shadows were nowhere to be seen; when she was there he beamed,

陰影無處可見，她在身旁時 他愈發閃耀，

His eyes would light up in ways that can’t be faked,

他目光如炬，無法炮製；

When she grinned her rays erased the razor-tipped words of hate,

當她露齒而笑時，她的光芒 消滅了如刀片般鋒利的惡言惡語。

They gave each other nicknames, they were "cool star" and "fun sun,"

他們互相為對方取暱稱， 「酷恒星」和「樂驕陽」。

And gradually the shadowy damage became undone,

漸漸地，陰影帶來的傷害消失了。

She was one in a septillion, and she was brilliant,

她是億萬裡挑一，她耀眼無比，

Could turn the coldest blooded reptilians vermillion,

能將最冷血的卑鄙小人 變成一個熱心腸，

Loved by billions, from Chileans to Brazilians,

集萬千寵愛於一身， 從智利人到巴西人都熱愛她，

And taught the Sunshine Kid the meaning of resilience.

她還教會了陽光小子堅韌的真諦。

She said: “All the darkness in the world

她說：「這世上的所有黑暗

cannot put out the light from a single candle

都無法熄滅一支蠟燭發出的光芒，

So how the hell can they handle your light?

那些陰影人又怎麼阻擋的住 你的萬丈光芒呢？

Only you can choose to dim it, and the sky is the limit,

只有你才能熄滅自己的光芒， 而這片天就是極限，

so silence the critics by burning.”

所以，燃燒吧，讓批評全都閉嘴！」

And if eyes are windows to the soul then she drew back the curtains

如果眼睛是心靈的窗戶， 那麼她拉開了窗簾，

And let the sun shine through the hurting.

讓陽光透過傷痕照射進來。

In a universe of adversity these stars stuck together,

在充滿逆境的宇宙中， 這些恒星緊緊依靠在一起，

And though days became nights the memories would last forever,

儘管歲月流逝，這些記憶會永存。

Whether the weatherman said it or not, it would be fine,

不管天氣預報員怎麼說， 天氣都會晴朗，一切安好，

'Cause even behind the clouds the kid could still shine.

因為即使是在烏雲之後， 陽光小子依然耀眼。

Yes, the Sunshine Kid was bright, with a warm personality,

沒錯，陽光小子很耀眼， 性格平易近人，

And inside he burned savagely,

而他的內心炙熱地燃燒，

Fueled by the fire inspired across galaxies

充滿了能量，那炙熱的火焰跨越星系，

By the girl who showed him belief.

來自那個女孩毫不動搖的信念。

Thank you very much.

非常感謝大家。

(Applause)
