纽约客再现（2015）

洛杉矶之光
O.J 辛普森被认为是持械的危险人物
O.J. Simpson is believed to be armed and dangerous.
1994年前美式橄榄球运动员辛普森杀妻一案成为当时美国最为轰动的事件.
此案当时的审理一波三折,由于警方的几个重大失误导致有力证据的失效,以无罪获释,
仅被民事判定为对两人的死亡负有责任.本案也成为美国历史上疑罪从无的最大案件.

看着抓捕O.J的公路追逐
with my daughter in New York.
眼泪流出我的眼睛
Tears were streaming down my eyes.
我女儿转向我问道
And my daughter turned to me and she said,
怎么了 你认识这个人吗
"What's wrong? Did you know that guy?"
我说 谁关心这家伙
And I said, "Who cares about that guy?
是那些日光
"It's that light.
就是那些我时时刻刻跟你们说起的日光
"That's the light I keep telling you girls about.
就这样 就在那儿
That's it. That's it right there."
照到山脉上的日光
And the light off all those mountains.
沙漠上的 还有海洋上的粉光
The desert. The pink light off the ocean,
射进烟雾里的 投射到棕榈树上的
into the smog, onto the palm fronds.
这绝对是这地方最有代表性的特征
It is absolutely the defining character of the place.
这地方的灵魂就是那些日光
The soul of the place is that light.
和所有背井离开洛杉矶的人一样
Like any exile from Los Angeles,
我想过
I've thought about,
也总是想着洛杉矶的日光
and I think about L.A. Light all the time.
我决定去做的事是
What I decided to do was
与那些在日光下生活的人谈谈
to go and talk to people who spend their lives in the light.
我和文·斯库里谈过 他是道奇队优秀的广播员
I talked to Vin Scully, the great broadcaster of the Dodgers.
我每晚都能看到日落
He gets to watch the sunset every night.
哇 多美的天空啊
Boy, what a sky.
棉花糖似的粉 还有蓝蓝的苍穹
Cotton candy pink, with a canopy of blue.
美得可以吃下去
Good enough to eat.
画家大卫·霍克尼告诉我在英格兰长大是什么样的
The painter David Hockney told me how growing up in England,
就是整天都下雨
where it was raining all the time,
劳莱与哈代是美国早起戏剧节目名 指该节目的两位滑稽演员斯坦劳莱和奥利佛哈代
让他觉得好笑是 看劳莱与哈代的电影时
what amazed him was to see Laurel and Hardy movies.
劳莱与哈代是美国早起戏剧节目名 指该节目的两位滑稽演员斯坦劳莱和奥利佛哈代
他们穿着冬大衣
They were wearing winter clothes,
劳莱与哈代是美国早起戏剧节目名 指该节目的两位滑稽演员斯坦劳莱和奥利佛哈代
劳莱与哈代是美国早起戏剧节目名 指该节目的两位滑稽演员斯坦劳莱和奥利佛哈代
但居然有清晰的影子
but there were sharp, crisp shadows.
劳莱与哈代是美国早起戏剧节目名 指该节目的两位滑稽演员斯坦劳莱和奥利佛哈代
但居然有清晰的影子
but there were sharp, crisp shadows.
霍克尼让我们看到影子
Hockney made us see shadows
那前所未见之美
that we'd never seen the beauty of.
建筑师库瓦·霍华德提到日光的三重性
Architect Coy Howard talked about the "Threeness" Of light,
物件 阴影还有反射
the object, the shadow, and reflection.
我和大家聊过 我突然想到
I was talking to everybody. It occurred to me
我应该和参与追捕O.J的直升机师谈谈
I should talk to the O.J. chase helicopter pilot...
我们要把画面转到二号♥直升机里
We're gonna go to a picture inside Chopper 2 here.
他那时候叫鲍勃·图尔
Whose name in those days was Bob Tur
现在改名为佐伊·图尔
and now goes by Zoey Tur.
原来她做新闻只是为了钱
It turned out she did the news for money,
但她最爱的是洛杉矶的日光
but what she really loved was the light of L.A.
10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
我们准备起飞了
We're about to fly.
我名字叫佐伊·图尔 我是直升飞机师
My name is Zoey Tur. I'm a helicopter pilot,
我是记者 消防队长 变性的战士公主
reporter, fire chief, transgender warrior princess.
我们正在报道O.J.辛普森的新闻
We were covering O.J. Simpson.
因为追捕发生在下午
Because the pursuit began in the afternoon
正好进入午后日照时期
and traveled into the golden light period,
洛杉矶被展现出来
Los Angeles was showcased...
O.J入狱
and O.J. Went off to jail.
我们不应该把这些展现给东岸的人看
We shouldn't show this to people back east,
因为他们会搬过来的
because they'll move out here.
我是说 看看这
I mean, look at this.
这是一年里最美好的一天之一
This is one of the rarest days of the year,
因为你有清新的空气
because you have the combination of clear air,
还有日落 然后有超级月亮
we have a sunset, and then we also have a supermoon.
洛杉矶始终是我的家
Los Angeles has always been my home.
这里的日光使人着迷
Our light here is addictive.
整个城市一年超过350天都有日光
You got a city with over 350 days of sunlight.
这就是为什么电影公♥司♥都在这
That's why the studios came here.
像安妮霍尔(电影名)就开了洛杉矶的玩笑
Movies like "Annie Hall" Made fun of Los Angeles.
挡住阿尔法射线 你就不会老了
Keeps out the alpha rays, Max. You don't get old.
他们就是开洛杉矶日光的玩笑
They're making fun of Los Angeles light.
他讨厌这种玩笑
And he hates it.
那些讨厌洛杉矶的人 例如彼得·博格丹诺维奇
The people who hate L.A., Peter Bogdanovich for example...
他说 我忍♥受不了这个地方了
He said, "I can't stand the place."
这些日光有种恍惚感
There's something trance inducing about the light.
他引用一段和奥森·威尔斯的对话
He quoted a conversation with Orson Welles who said,
洛杉矶的问题就是
"The trouble with L.A. Is you
当你坐下来时是24岁 到你再站起来就变成65了
sit down at 24 and you get up and you're 65."
当德国表现主义的
When German Expressionist
电影制♥作♥人遇上洛杉矶的日光
filmmakers encounter that light of L.A.,
就搞不清楚了
which they can't make heads or tails of,
他们发明了一种"黑色"电影
they invent something called film noir.
他们所有的性♥爱♥镜头都是晚上
They do all of their erotic films at night
或者在室内拍摄的
or indoors.
另一个大家谈到有关洛杉矶日光的话题是烟雾
The other way that people talk about the light of L.A. Is smog.
如电影"在洛杉矶生与死"
Movies like "To Live and Die in L.A."...
洛杉矶都是砂砾 都很荒芜
It was gritty, it was harsh.
洛杉矶的街道都很鄙陋
The mean streets of Los Angeles.
烟雾在产生这种感觉中
Smog played a very important role
扮演者很重要的角色
in creating a feel.
有人告诉我 如果我想聊烟雾
People told me, if I wanted
我应该去加利福尼亚理工学院
to talk about smog, I should go to Caltech.
一些洛杉矶的特质
There's characteristics of Los Angeles
导致这里的污染问题
that make the pollution here a
比其他大部分城市更具挑战性
much more challenging problem than most other cities.
圣盖博山脉把空气都困在这里了
The San Gabriel mountains trap the air,
所以所有在洛杉矶产生的气体都会持续更长久
and so anything we put in the air in L.A. Lasts a lot longer.
然后当你再结合一千四百万人
Then when you combine 14 million people,
所有的汽车排放物
all the emissions from all those cars,
然后还有大量日光的暴晒
and allow a lot of sun to cook it all up,
最后就会变成这些小颗粒
you end up with these very small particles
导致大气灼热
causing the atmosphere to be glowing.
这就是发光发热的洛杉矶
That's the L.A. Glow. Yeah.
谢天谢地是 没有什么烟雾
Thankfully, there's not the smog there was,
所以我不想使之传奇化
so I don't wanna romanticize that at all,
但我能说什么呢 这些是非常美好的日光
but what can I tell you? It was pretty amazing light.
幸好它们还是那么美好
And thankfully it still is pretty amazing.
左转 一直等到你能看见为止
As we make this left turn, wait till you see this.
这才是最精彩的地方
This is the money shot.
BGM: In The Light - Shana Falana
弗拉曼柯舞(西班牙的吉卜赛舞蹈)排练
美国牢房♥
我会建议强制性新的严格的处罚
I shall propose mandatory new, tough penalties...
重新在暴♥力♥犯罪中实施
resurge in violent crime.
夺回我们的街道是一次艰难的斗争
And that's the hard fought battle to take back our streets
我们必须让这些罪犯远离街道
We have to get these people off the street.
犯罪的人应该被抓起来
People who commit crimes should be caught,
定罪然后受到惩罚
convicted, and punished.
监狱是一个捕捉时间的陷阱
A prison is a trap for catching time.
这就是为什么没有一个犯人
That's why no one who has been inside a prison
会忘记这种感受
can ever forget the feeling.
时间停止了
Time stops.
逐渐衰弱的恐慌 警惕的偏执
A note of attenuated panic, of watchful paranoia,
焦虑 无聊和恐惧交织在一起
anxiety and boredom and fear
混合成一种缭绕的迷雾
mix into a kind of enveloping fog
笼罩着狱警和犯人
covering the guards as much as the guarded.
美国犯人
For American prisoners,
