早在这个叫做查理·布朗的男孩出现前
Long before there was a boy named Charlie Brown,
有个叫做查尔斯·舒尔茨的男人
there was a man named Charles Schulz
他梦想成为一名漫画家
who had dreamed of being a cartoonist.
我一直梦想我会有部连环画
I always dreamed I’d have a comic strip.
我想从六岁起就一直
I think I’ve been dreaming about this thing
有这个梦想
since I was about six years old.
几乎从他出生那刻起
Almost from the moment he was born,
查尔斯·舒尔茨似乎就注定要从事漫画业
it seemed like Charles Schulz was destined to be in the comics.
当他还是婴儿时
When he was a baby,
琳·约翰斯通
《无论好坏》漫画家
他的一位叔叔叫他”火花塞”
one of his uncles called him Spark Plug,
这绰号♥来自小马”火花塞” 一部连环画里的角色
which came from Spark Plug the horse, a comic strip character.
火花塞
火花塞
所以大家都叫他”史帕基”
So, everybody called him Sparky.
他是独生子
He was an only child,
是个没人可以交谈的小孩
and he was the little kid that no one really talked to.
他十分害羞
He was so painfully shy
当他和他母亲
that when he and his mother
凯伦·约翰逊
查尔斯·M·舒尔茨博物馆前馆长
漫步在圣保罗街头时
would walk down the street in Saint Paul,
他会低着头走路
he’d walk with his head down.
害羞的小史帕基在学校成绩优秀
Shy little Sparky did so well in school
所以跳了一级
that he skipped a grade.
但这真没所说的那么好
But that really wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.
一整年里 他都是班里最小的孩子
He was the youngest person in the room by a year,
这对一个孩子来说这是件大事
which when you’re a kid is a big deal.
而且跟上其他大点的孩子很困难
And it was hard to keep up with the older kids.
奇普·基德
作家兼平面设计师
他当时很痛苦
He was miserable.
他感觉自己觉对学校里的
He just felt as if he didn’t mean anything
简·舒尔茨
查尔斯·舒尔茨遗孀
其他孩子来说无足轻重
to the rest of the kids in school.
放学后 史帕基喜欢去
After school, Sparky liked to
他父亲的理发店玩
hang out in his father’s barbershop.
“当我孤单时 喜欢去父亲的理发店
“When I’m real lonesome, I like to go to my dad’s barbershop.
他们总会问我是否是来刮胡子的”
They always ask if I’ve come in for a shave.”
但即使这事也有缺点
But even that had its downside.
我通常会去店里 他会帮我剪头
When I used to go into the shop, and he’d be working on me,
尴尬的事情是
the embarrassing thing about that was
或许他把我的头发剪到一半
maybe he’d be halfway through my haircut,
一位真正的好主顾就进来了
and a real good customer would come in.
他会说 “要不你坐在那边
And he would say, “Why don’t you just sit over there
等一小会 因为我得为这个人服务”
and wait for a little bit because I have to wait on this man.”
这实在太尴尬了 坐在椅子上
It was so embarrassing to sit on the bench
顶着被剪了一半的头发
with just a half a haircut.
当他上中学后
By the time he was in middle school,
即使史帕基的好成绩已经开始下滑
even Sparky’s good grades were starting to slip,
他感觉像个彻头彻尾的失败者
and he felt like a total failure.
我想是在八年级时出的问题
I think it was in the eighth grade when the roof fell in.
我所有课程都没及格
I failed everything there was possible to fail.
三振出局
只有一个地方能让史帕基找到快乐
One place where Sparky found happiness
那就是他的素描本
was in his sketchbook.
他整天都在画画
He drew all the time,
梦想有一天自己画出的漫画可以像
and he dreamed that someday he would draw comics
他读过报纸上的那些一样
like the ones he read in the newspaper.
《飞侠哥顿》
我们在圣保罗订了两份报纸 周六晚上
We subscribed to two papers in Saint Paul, and on Saturday night,
我爸会开车去当地药店
my dad would drive up to the local drugstore
买♥♥两份明尼亚波利斯市报纸
and buy the two Minneapolis papers
所以我们会有四份漫画版可以看
so we could get four comic sections to read.
那对我来说就是生活的意义
And that was what life was about to me.
五百字描述我是谁 我是谁 史努比
Five hundred words about who I am. Who am I, Snoopy?
我是位理发师的儿子
I’m the son of a barber.
我喜欢棒球 我去上学
I like baseball. I go to school.
我只是努力得过且过
I just try to make it through the day.
这个任务不可能完成
This assignment is impossible.
你不会理解的 史努比
You wouldn’t understand, Snoopy.
你从来不必做任何困难的事
You never have to do anything difficult.
坐 别动 打滚
Sit, stay, roll over.
狗生如此简单
A dog’s life is so simple.
“史帕基去打仗了”
“Sparky Goes to War!”
1942年 史帕基应征入伍
In 1942, Sparky was drafted into the army.
“当你被征召入伍后会发生什么”
“What happens when you get drafted?”
“他们会把你送去某个地方”
“They send you someplace.”
“我就害怕这个”
“That’s what I was afraid of.”
离开家令史帕基感到心碎
Leaving home was heartbreaking for Sparky.
他和他的妈妈关系很亲近
He was very close to his mother,
她病了很久
and she had been sick for a long time.
一直没人告诉史帕基他妈妈的病有多严重
Sparky was never told how ill his mother was.
简·舒尔茨
查尔斯·舒尔茨遗孀
他不知道她可能会挺不过去
And that she probably wasn’t going to make it.
因此他觉得自己
