從哲學家到企業家的慈善家

我是傳奇

對於強調好來烏電影重視特效的影片來說，這部電影不算好看，

但就劇情的啟發性角度而言，我覺得別出心裁.........

片中，男主角因世界毀滅看不到希望而不相信上帝，
女主角卻深信是上帝引領他們相遇。

只要願意傾聽...總是有希望在那邊！  只要你傾聽...

當世界即將陷入毀滅時，若在理性中看不見希望，那麼信仰就會成為那最後支撐個人意志的救命浮木。

Bob Marley（1945年2月6日- 1981年5月11日），是一位牙买加的歌手、吉他手、作曲家和社會運動者。他也是为传奇出名的雷鬼乐（雷鬼乐（Reggae），也有人译为雷盖乐或雷滾乐，是西印度群岛的一种舞蹈及舞曲）手。他多数的作品都是宣扬自由和平、人权平等、关怀真愛、批判强权，为貧困与弱势唱出抗议之声，是贫苦劳动者的代言人和反种族主义斗士，更透过音乐转播信仰的方式而闻名。虽然他一生只活了36年，但从1969年至1981年的十二年间，却留下了无数的优秀作品。其中最为出名的歌曲就有《Get Up,Stand Up》，《One  Love》，《I Shot The Sheriff》，《Walk the Proud Land》，《No Woman, No Cry》，还有电影中的《 Redemption Song》等等。除此之外，他也留下了许多基督教会的歌曲，为他坚定的信仰与信念以音乐的方式永远传承散播出去。

在电影里其中一段男主角Will Smith向anna介绍Bob Marley，还有播放着他的一首歌《Redemption Song（救赎之歌）》。这首歌是收录在Bob Marley曾经出过一张叫《LEGEND》的专辑。在电影里Will Smith称这是张世界上最伟大的专辑，其中更说出Bob Marley有一次计划要在一个和平运动的集会上表演，但某天有人上他家开枪击伤了他。但两天后他依旧走上舞台继续唱歌。他说：“"The people, who were trying to make this world worse... are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness.”
那些想毀滅這世界的人連一天都不會休息，那我又怎麼能休息呢？讓我點亮黑暗吧！

在种族主义观念为人质疑、唾弃之前，遍地都是战火。在任何国家不再有一等和二等公民的区分之前，在人们因为肤色和眼睛颜色而被加以区别对待之前，在基本人权能够不分种族得到充分保障之前，除非有那么一天，关于持久和平、世界公民、国际道德准则的梦想，才有实现的可能，尽管这些听起来像是错觉和臆想一样永远无法实现……如你所见，现在的世界，遍地都是战火。

Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.

 

哲理中蕴含的力量在我脑中闪念而过，看似轻如鸿毛，却实实在在引导着我。

生活类

人生之路艰难险恶，你也许会步履维艰，对别人指手画脚也是评判自己。

The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too, So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you.

子弹不能阻止我们，我们既不乞求也不卑躬屈膝。

政治是魔鬼的事情，我没有兴趣……他们玩弄人们的头脑。绝不要玩弄人们的头脑。

Politics no interest me. Dem devil business.... Dem a play with peoples minds. Never play with peoples minds.

 

我有一个志向。我期待人类能够和同一家——无论黑人，白人，中国人，所有人——就是这样。

I have got a running stream of love you see. So no matter what stages.. they put us through, we'll never be blue.

 

只要一点点爱就可以战胜魔鬼！

Conquer the devils with a little thing called love!

 

如果小猫小狗能够和睦相处，我们为什么不能呢？

If puss and dog can get together, why can't we love one another?

 

一路走来，我们有过多少好友，又失去多少至交？前景光明，你却不可忘记过去，听我说，擦干你的眼泪，别，亲爱的，不要哭泣，别，亲爱的，不要哭泣。亲爱的，不要让泪水滴下来。别，亲爱的，不要哭泣。

Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way. In this bright future you can't forget your past So dry your tears I say No woman, no cry No woman, no cry Little darlin' don't shed no tears No woman, no cry.

 

我要给你爱，充满深情的爱。

I want to give you some love, I want to give you some good good lovin'.

 

爱永远不会离我们而去。

Love would never leave us alone.

 

你不是她的第一个男人，不是最后一个或者唯一一个。她爱你之前也许已经爱过多次，但如果她爱你，这些又有什么关系呢？她不是完美无缺的——你也一样，你们两个都不是完美无缺的。如果她能使你开怀大笑，她能宽容你的错误和人性的弱点，就该紧紧把握住她的感情，给予她全部你能给予的。她也许不会每时每秒地思念你，但她会把她的心交给你——你会让她受到伤害。不要伤害她，不要试图改变她，不要揣测她，也别要求她做出力不能及的付出。她让你开心时你便要对她微笑，让她知道你为她感到疯狂。她不再身边时，你要思念她。

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. she loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, and admit to being human & making mistakes, hold onto her & give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, & miss her when she's not there.

 

同一个爱，同一颗心，让我们走到一起来共享美好。

One love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright.

 

就我个人而言，我的心可以坚如铁石，也可以温柔如水。

Yuh see, I personally know my heart can be hard as a stone, and yet soft as water.

 

我们应该在平和与融洽中彼此关爱，而不是在被迫害的妄想中彼此争斗。

We should really love each other in peace and harmony, instead we're fussin' n fighting like we ain't supposed to be.

 

关于信仰

 

生活和主乃是一体。主是先验的存在。这么说来，我是不可被复制的。

Life and Jah are one in the same. Jah is the gift of existence. I am in some way eternal, I will never be duplicated.

 

万能的主使我的双手强健有力。

But my hand was made strong by the hand of the Almighty.

 

有人说：“别投票！”拉斯特法理派拒绝投票。

Here come a man like me saying 'Don't vote!' Rasta no vote.

 

我属于主，我在人间为主劳作。

I'm a man of God and me come to do God's work.

 

人们渴望从主那里得到指引，哪怕是只言片语。这可以通过我或其他任何人完成，我不是领袖。吸引人们的是歌曲的内容，而不是我这个人。

 

People want to listen to a message, word from Jah. This could be passed through me or anybody. I am not a leader... The word of the songs, not the person, is what attracts people.

拉斯特法理派引起的震动将要传遍世界！就像河流汇入大海。

 

Rastaman vibrations gonna cover the earth! Like the water cover the sea.

我相信主的存在，我知道他是谁。

 

And me, I know that there is a god. Cause I know who god is.

有人说主会从天而降，带走所有，还使所有人感觉美好。但是如果你了解什么样的生活是值得一过的，你会在大地上找到属于自己的主。

 

Some people say great God come from the sky take away everything and make everybody feel high, but if you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth.

无法描述我对于拉斯特法理派的理解，它是纯然的知觉。

 

Me can't tell you how me know Rastafari. It is pure vision.

在主面前人们无处躲藏。

 

There ain't no hiding place from the father of creation.

我曾经承诺为了正义劳作。主给予我鼓舞。他是主宰，告诉我该做什么。

 

I pledged to work for righteousness. God's given me inspiration. God's the boss, he tell me what to do.

主不会把力量赐予浅薄无知的人！

 

Jah will never give the power to a baldhead!

拉斯特法理派不是一种文化，它是现实。

 

Rastafari not a culture, it's a reality.

我对自己的出生没有偏见。我的父亲是白人，母亲是黑人，他们叫我混血儿或者其它什么。我不会站在白人或黑人的任何一边，我和主站在一边，是他创造了我，创造了一个黑白混血的人。

I don't have prejudice against myself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.

 

我们是拉斯特法理派的孩子，是那些目眩神迷的人们的孩子。

We are the children of the Rastaman we are the children of the higher man.

 

没有主，人什么也做不了。犹如口渴需要饮水，人不能没有主。

Man can't do without God. Just like you're thirsty, you have to drink water. You just can't go without God.

 

我会像锡安城的狮子一样刚强。

I'm gonna be iron like a lion in Zion.

 

说说香草

 

香草燃起，人便会返璞归真。

When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.

 

偶尔喝点小酒就好。酒精让人精神萎靡。香草则一定要种。

A little wine sometimes, that's all. Spirits (are) bad. Alcohol wrong. Herb does grow.

 

香草能够拯救和治愈一个国家和民族，酒精则是摧毁。

Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.

 

政府当局说：吸食大麻对你没有好处，你不能那么干。如果你不老实，他们会把你投进监狱。我想，在外边自由自在的抽大麻总比在监狱待着强多了。

The authorities tell you that you mustn't smoke herb because it's bad for you. Yet if they catch you at it they'll carry you off to prison. I think it's better to be smoking herb out here free than being in prison.

 

野草给驴，香草予人。

Grass is for the ass, herb is for mankind.

 

政府当局顾左右而言其它，人们需要救助他们总是视而不见。他们为什么不允许人们吸食大麻？大麻不过一种植物而已，对吧？让我们想想，好像找不到禁止的理由。于是政府当局又会说：“吸食大麻会使人们变得不够驯顺”，你明白了吧，他们反对的是什么呢？

All dese governments and dis this and that, these people that say they're here to help, why them say you cannot smoke the herb? Herb... herb is a plant, you know? And when me check it, me can't find no reason. All them say is, 'it make you rebel'. Against what?

 

你在津巴布韦抽过大麻么？是的，某天夜里我们去一个兵营，游击队员叫我一起抽，他们给了我一点大麻。谁都知道他们怎样赢得的战争！告诉你吧，年轻人，他们依靠大麻赢得了战争，他们说大麻让他们更加勇敢，还说大麻甚至让他们成为能够隐形的战士。

You smoke herb in Zimbabwe? Yeh, One night we go to a soldier place and a guerilla call out to me and give me a touch of something...and that was it. No wonder they won the war! Tell ya boy, dem mon smoke some good herb mon! De tell me they smoke that herb and feel brave. Them tell me it make them...invisible.

 

你要抽多少大麻？多多益善！

How much do you smoke? Plenty;

 

香草是人民的融合剂。

Herb is the unifier of the people.

 

人们抽大麻越多，罪恶之都崩塌的越快。

The more people smoke herb, the more Babylon fall.

 

个人生活

鲍勃·马利不是我的姓名，我甚至不知道自己的姓甚名谁。

Bob Marley isn't my name. I don't even know my name yet.

 

我开的是辆旧吉普车。这样就不会再有人拿我开宝马说事儿了。我受不了了，哈哈哈！宝马可真是个大麻烦！

I drive a jeep. An old jeep, so nobody will say I'm driving a BMW anymore. I couldn't stand that BMW, ha ha ha! BMW make pure trouble!

 

我曾因无照驾驶而被投入监狱。

I go to jail one time for no driver license.

 

哦，因为游泳不好，我就不去水深的区域。

Well, me don't swim too tough so me don't go in the water too deep.

 

我始终对于婚姻缺乏信心……对我而言，那是限制我的圈套。女人懦弱胆小，男人勇敢强悍。

Me never believe in marriage that much...marriage is a trap to control me; woman is a coward. Man strong;

 

齐格，在你有所长进的时候我也会感到欣慰，在你失落的时候却不要让我跟着失望。斯蒂芬，金钱不能买来你的想要的生活。

Ziggy, when you go up bring me up and when you go down don't let me down. Stephen, Money can't buy you life.

 

我有一辆宝马，可那是乐队的，不是因为我要开一辆昂贵的车。

I have a BMW. But only because BMW stands for Bob Marley and The Wailers, and not because I need an expensive car.

 

你钦佩过某个女人么？比如一位美国妇女……安吉拉·戴维斯，一个有操守的女人，我由衷地欣赏她。

Do you admire any women? Dat woman in America...Angela Davis. A woman like that who defends something; me can appreciate that.

 

谈论音乐

 

我的音乐不会磨灭。也许这是痴人说梦，但是每当我意识到事实，我便会把事实说出来。言论自由与聆听自由是相伴的。

My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen.

 

音乐的妙处之一是：当它打动了你，你便不会感到痛楚。

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

 

嘿，这听起来太棒了。我不能抗拒音乐的美妙。

Hey mister music, sure sounds good to me I can't refuse it what to be got to be.

 

我的音乐与体制对立、斗争，它教你如何生活，如何死去。

My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.

 

我爱我们的音乐，这是我的兴趣所在。你知道我们是如何想法设法发展自己的音乐么？音乐发展着，每天有人带来新的作品。音乐将被永远传承。

I love the development of our music, that's what I really dig about the whole thing. How we've tried to develop, y'know? It grows. That's why every day people come forward with new songs. Music goes on forever.

 

我翻唱过一首披头士乐队的歌曲，是那首“但是我爱她”。“给你我所有的爱，这是我全部能做的”。关于我们的会面——我们握手，寒暄致意——他们衣着光鲜，我为和他们会面感到开心。主爱根源化的东西，披头士乐队是根源化的音乐家。他们很棒，你知道，就像国王和王后——他们是根源化的。

Me sing one of The Beatles song. Cover one of The Beatles songs - 'And I Love Her'. 'I give ya all my love, that's all i dooo'. The thing was we meet and shake hand and say great - them dude they nice. I really like meet them. They're are bredrens. Jah just love roots. Those guys are roots. Them guys are all right, ya know. There is like a king and a queen, ya know - those guys are roots.

 

雷鬼乐里充满了斗争的精神，这种音乐应该如此，但人则不同。

Reggae is a music that has plenty fight. But only the music should fight, not the people.

 

我本想说：“向警察开枪”，但是政府当局小题大做，我就换了个说法：“我向警长开枪”……但是这两种说法是一个意思：正义。

I want to say 'I shot the police' but the government would have made a fuss so I said 'I shot the sheriff' instead... but it's the same idea: justice.

 

你不能扭过头去装作视而不见，它是真实存在的。我的歌曲没有什么秘密，不算什么。真诚才是一切。

 

You can't look away because it's real. You listen to what I sing because I mean what I sing, there's no secret, no big deal. Just honesty, that's all.

我喜欢看到你跟着节奏起舞；当你发自内心起舞的之时，尤其让我欣喜。

 

I like to see you move with the rhythm; I Like to see when you're dancing' from within.

你有唱片合同吗？我有唱片协议。两者有什么不同，一个是协议而另一个是合同！我是用耳朵做音乐的人。

Do you have a record contract? I have a recording agreement. What's the difference? One is an agreement and one is a contract! I am a man who deals by ear.

 

哦，知更鸟，你是否听过我不曾听过的词句？

Oh Mockingbird have you ever heard words that I've never heard.
