世界名人简介 第97期:迈克尔·杰克逊

 Michael Joseph Jackson (born 1958) is truly a music legend. He became a superstar at the age of eleven as a member of his family band The Jackson 5. His solo career earned him the title "King of Pop". His studio albums have all become classics. Jackson is equally famous for his high energy and complicated dance techniques such as the Moonwalk. He died in 2009 at the age of 50.

迈克尔·杰克逊（生于1958）是一位音乐传奇人物。因组建家庭乐队“杰克逊五兄弟”，11岁的杰克逊一举成名。因演唱事业，杰克逊赢得了“流行乐之王”称号。所发专辑全部为经典之作。超强表演力，太空舞等复杂舞蹈动作也同样让他名声大噪。2009年，杰克逊去世，享年50岁。

Jackson dominated the music charts throughout the 1970s, 80s and 90s. His distinctive1 vocal2 style, rhythm and fashion were perfect for the new music video age. MTV enthusiastically played his videos to the world. His ‘Thriller’ video had all the excitement of a major movie release. Jackson became a true icon3 of pop culture and influenced dozens of today’s top stars.

70-90年代期间，杰克逊一直统治乐坛。对于新音乐影像时代，独特的声线，自然地韵律，自成一家的风格恰如其分。MTV电视网将他的MV远播世界。《Thriller》也常出现在电影首映礼。他成为了流行文化标志，在当今时代，杰克逊影响了众多歌坛大腕。

Jackson’s personal life created significant controversy4 and earned him a nickname he hated, ‘Wacko Jacko’. He angered many by having plastic surgery and lightening his skin to look white. His reputation was badly damaged in several high-profile child sexual abuse cases in 2003 and 2005. The courts cleared him on both occasions.

杰克逊的私人生活非议不断，人们给他起了“怪人杰克”绰号，他对此表示反感。对于接受整容手术，“漂白”皮肤，杰克逊义愤填膺。2003年和2005年，因涉嫌儿童性侵案，杰克逊声名狼藉。在两起案件中，法院均判处杰克逊无罪。

His awards and records are proof of the phenomenal success he achieved. He won World Music Award's Best-Selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium5, and was the American Music Award's Artist of the Century. ‘Thriller’ remains6 the best selling album of all time. ‘Vanity Fair’ magazine named him the "Most popular artist in the history of show business". He will be missed by millions.

就所获奖项和所创纪录而言，杰克逊证明了自己的成功。在世界音乐奖上，他获得“最佳唱片销量男歌手”奖，在全美音乐奖上，荣获“世纪艺术家”称号。《Thriller》仍是史上最畅销专辑。《名利场》杂志评选他为“娱乐圈史上最知名艺人”称号。数百万乐迷将永远怀念他。
