今早 音乐界正在为RnB歌手 The music industry is mourning the loss of RnB singer
7次格莱美奖得主 路德•范德鲁斯的逝去哀悼 and seven time Grammy winner, Luther Vandross this morning.
传奇人物路德•范德鲁斯以天鹅绒般质地的声音闻名 News that legend, Luther Vandross was known as the Velvet Voice.
这是一位从歌声中来又在歌声中离去的艺术家 You're talking about an artist that begins and ends with the voice.
他出身于纽约一条贫穷的街道 He rose from the tough streets of New York
成长为一名卖出3500万张唱片的巨星 to become a 35 million record selling superstar.
他是有史以来最优秀的男歌手 He was at the very top of all time male singers.
他独一无二 He was one a kind.
尽管他如此成功 却觉得空虚 染上恶习 But despite all his success there was an emptiness answered by a single vice.
他爱吃 爱食物 He loved eating, he loved food.
他用吃来填补空虚 He would eat to fill that void.
随着压力越来越大 路德开始崩溃 As the pressure mounted, Luther started to crack.
他抱怨后脑勺疼 He was complaining about headaches in the back of his head.
但他从未透露一个伴随他一生的秘密 But he never surrendered a lifelong secret that he took to the grave.
甚至在他死后数年 关于他的阴谋依旧存在 Conspiracies still exist about Luther even years after his death.
路德于2005年7月1日突然去世 Luther died suddenly on July 1st 2005,
他死于新泽西州爱迪生市肯尼迪医疗中心 at the JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey,
年仅54岁 the age of just 54.
从这份医疗调查报告中 I can see from this medical investigators report
我看到路德•范德鲁斯死于急性心律失常 that Luther Vandross died from acute cardiac arrhythmia,
这说明他的心跳严重异常 which tells me his heartbeat was catastrophically disrupted.
但作为一名病理学家 这并不能给我解释 But as a pathologist, that doesn't provide me with an explanation about
路德的死因 how and why this happened.
如果我要解开他年仅54岁就去世的谜团 If I'm to solve the mystery of why he died at the relatively young age of 54,
我需要确切地了解到 I need to know precisely what was going on
在路德去世前的年月里发生了什么 in Luther's body in the years and months leading up to his death.
解剖： 路德•范德鲁斯的最后几小时
世界著名的法医及法医病理学家 World renowned medical examiner and forensic pathologist,
迈克尔•亨特博士已经完成了大约5000次尸检 Dr Michael Hunter has performed around 5000 autopsies.
与执法机关和其他法医专家都有密切合作 Collaborating closely with law enforcement and other forensic specialists.
他在调查可疑案件中有着关键作用 His pivotal role in investigating suspicious cases has revealed
揭露了20多年前神秘死亡背后的真相 the truth behind mysterious deaths for over 20 years.
2005年 路德•范德鲁斯去世时 In 2005, when Luther Vandross died,
迈克尔亨特博士 法医病理学家
美国男性的平均寿命是75岁 the average life expectancy for the American male was 75 years.
然而 尽管财富和名声可以 And yet despite all the healthcare advantages
带来一切医疗保健的优势 that wealth and celebrity can bring,
路德却离世得很突然 比当时的平均寿命早了20多年 Luther died suddenly more than 20 years ahead of his time.
路德•范德鲁斯的生活中充斥着流言蜚语 Luther Vandross's lifestyle has been the subject of rumour and gossip.
现在在法医报告 But now with the help of the medical examiner's report,
和第一手资料的帮助下 and first-hand accounts
我要弄清楚路德的生活中到底发生了什么 I'm going to find out what was really going on in Luther's life
以及他的行为对他死亡的影响 and how his behaviour may have impacted on his death.
2001年5月 纽约州 纽约市
2001年5月 在这位明星去世前4年 May 2001, 4 years before the star's death,
路德已经在歌坛20多年 发了一系列热门唱片 Luther has spent over 20 years releasing a string of hit records.
像 永不会多 这样的歌让他成为 Songs like Never Too Much have established him
浪漫主义歌手的代表人物之一 as one of the world's leading romantic singers of a generation.
但最近几年 他的音乐已经不像过去那样受欢迎 But in the last few years his music hasn't been selling like it used to.
所以路德希望进行一次职业生涯的复兴 So Luther is hoping to undergo a professional revival,
为J唱片公司录制他的第一张专辑 recording his first album for J Records.
有那么两三年的时间 He had had a two or three year period
他没有像过去那样消耗自己 where he was not selling the way that he had.
克莱夫•戴维斯 首席内容官 索尼音乐娱乐公司 创始人 J唱片公司
但他在重生的边缘 我认为他是这么认为的 But he was on the brink of a rebirth, I think he thought that way,
我也觉得他身边的人都清楚这一点 and I think that was apparent to everyone around him.
克雷格•西摩 传记作家
他当和J唱片公司签约时非常兴奋 When Luther signed to J Records, he was very excited about it.
他真的想实现流行歌曲的一个巨大的成功 He had really wanted to get a really huge pop sing hit.
詹姆斯•欧文 舞蹈指导兼私人教练
当一个音乐传奇人物过早离世时 When a music legend dies relatively young,
大多是因为滥用药物 in many cases there's a history of substance abuse culminating
导致慢性病或猝死 in chronic illness or sudden death.
在调查路德之死时 需要考虑毒品或酒精 Drugs or alcohol need to be considered when investigating Luther's death.
但是 据我所知 路德有所不同 But, from what I've found out, Luther was different.
他经常开玩笑说 He would often joke about it, and saying you know,
我不抽烟 不喝酒 不会在外面玩通宵 “I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't, you know, stay out all night partying”.
他会待在家 进行创作 进行想象 He would stay in, and he would create, and he would dream,
他想做的就是取悦他的听众 that's all he wanted to do was to please his—his audience.
凯文•欧文斯 朋友兼伴唱
没有什么迹象显示 There seems to be no suggestion
路德常常沉溺于 that Luther indulged in the excesses so often
与音乐界沉迷的放纵中 associated with the music business.
但是 我还不能完全排除他对某些东西上瘾的可能 But, I can't yet completely rule out the possibility of some kind of addiction.
为了弄清楚是什么杀死了路德•范德鲁斯 To understand what killed Luther Vandross,
我需要知道更多这位明星的过去 I need to know more about the star's personal history.
1951年4月20日 路德•隆泽尼•范德鲁斯于 Luther Ronzoni Vandross was born on April 20th 1951
纽约市贝尔维尤医院出生 in New York City's Bellevue Hospital.
家中有四个孩子 他是第二个男孩 The second son in a family of four,
父亲是老路德 母亲是玛丽•艾达•范德鲁斯 born to Luther Senior and Mary Ida Vandross.
他的父亲是一位低音歌手 母亲也唱福音书 Dad was a crooner, and his mom also sang gospel.
音乐融入了他的骨血 Music was in his blood, was in his DNA.
但路德8岁时 悲剧发生了 But when Luther was just 8 years old, tragedy struck,
他的父亲突然离世 母亲独自在纽约下东区抚养他 his father died suddenly and his mother alone raised him
和他的哥哥和姐姐成人 and his older brother and sisters in New York's Lower East Side.
小路德热爱音乐 The young Luther had a passion for music,
很小的时候他就沉迷于 and from an early age he lost himself
迪翁•沃里克 戴安娜罗斯和至上合唱团的音乐中 in the records of Dionne Warwick and Diana Ross and the Supremes.
早期路德听的音乐对他非常重要 The music in the early days was so important to Luther,
我认为他从中学到了很多 I think he learned from them.
艾娃•绮莉 朋友兼伴唱
他喜欢丰富的声音 He loved the richness of sound
在他的成长中 that he heard in those girl group harmonies
他从女子组合的和声中听到了这些声音 when he was growing up.
他爱他的家庭 但是他痴迷于音乐 He loved his family, but he was obsessed,
音乐是他最重要的事 music was his top priority.
他把音乐视为初恋 He saw music as his first love.
同时也是他走出下东区的门票 But also, his ticket out of the Lower East Side.
他一直希望在大城市出人头地 He always wanted to make something of himself in the big city,
我认为这是他所梦寐以求的 and I think that that was very much an aspirational dream of his.
路德发挥了自己独特的嗓音 Luther developed a distinctive voice
开始从事伴唱工作 and started picking up work as a backing singer.
1974年 In 1974
他有幸与伦敦的青年艺术家大卫•鲍伊合作 he got the chance to work with a young artist from London, David Bowie.
年轻的美国人 那是路德的旋律 Young Americans, was Luther's melody.
他唱的时候 大卫说 好 And when he sang it, David was like “Yes”.
哇 这家伙真棒 “Wow this guy is great!”
大卫同他坦诚相待并预言 David had a heart-to-heart with him and essentially said,
你会成为巨星 “You're going to be a big star.”
但路德需要等待时机突破 But Luther had to wait for his breakthrough.
到了70年代后期 By the late seventies
他的创作和演唱才能越来越受欢迎 his talent for composing and singing jingles was more in demand.
他的歌通常是为含糖饮料或快餐而作 And those jingles were often for sugary drinks or fast-food.
路德是纽约的广告歌之王 Luther was the jingle king of New York.
这些歌给了他立足之本 And jingles is where he was making his bread.
他写了很多 He was getting them all.
是这些广告让他开始 It was those commercials that began to his,
有钱去做 you know being able to have money to do the things
他想做的音乐 he wanted to do with his music.
路德最想做的是唱片 What Luther wanted most was to make records
1981年 他用写广告歌挣的钱 and in 1981 his jingle money
出了首张专辑 永不会多 financed his first album Never Too Much.
这张专辑和主打歌都是RnB排行榜上的热门 Both the album and title song were hits in the RnB charts.
我爱那首歌 每个人都爱 I loved loved loved that song, and everyone loved that—that song.
它非常成功 好像突然就流行了起来 It was so successful, it was like all of sudden boom, made it happened.
它真的影响了全世界的听众 It really just reached audiences all over.
人们开始知道路德•范德鲁斯是谁 People start to know who Luther Vandross was
因为在那首歌出来之前没人认识他 because no one knew him before that song.
整个80年代 他在RnB榜单上共获得了5个第一 Through the eighties he went on to score 5 number ones in the RnB charts,
这成功不仅仅是因为天赋 and success wasn't just the result of talent,
路德不懈努力 力争做到最好 Luther worked relentlessly in his struggle to stay at the top.
路德对自己很严格 Luther was hard on himself,
有很高的职业目标 he had high expectations for where he wanted to go in his career.
但是到了90年代后期 路德的事业开始走下坡路 But by the late nineties, Luther's career has started to falter,
连续几首单曲都未进前20名 a succession of singles failed to hit the top 20.
他担心音乐在改变 He was concerned that music was changing,
嘻哈音乐和其他音乐都受到了影响 hip hop and other kinds of music were erm, err coming into impact.
因此他忧虑自己能否在行业中存活下来 So he was err concerned as to his viability.
路德在担心的时候 他有一个让自己放松的办法 And when Luther was worried he had one way to make himself feel better.
他用食物来寻求安慰 He turned to food for comfort.
路德不是为了吃而吃 It wasn't like Luther was just eating to eat.
路德爱食物 Luther loved food.
从他整个职业生涯的照片和录像来看 From the evidence of photographs and video throughout his career,
很明显 他一直都很胖 it's clear that at various times Luther was obese.
他的体重实际达到了340磅 But his weight actually reached 340 pounds.
这是病态肥胖 This is morbidly obese.
会增加患心脏并发症和致命疾病的风险 A state that brings an increased risk of heart complication and fatal illness.
在我寻找答案的过程中 我需要尝试去发现 I need to try and understand the influences
是什么导致他体重急剧增加 that led to this extreme weight gain in my search for answers.
我认为这可能与路德的童年有关 And I believe it could be linked to events in Luther's childhood.
范德鲁斯一家的关系非常密切 The Vandross family was very close
父亲的突然离世 and his father's sudden death
对8岁的路德来说是一个巨大打击 came as a terrible shock to the 8-year-old Luther.
在他十几岁的时候 Then when he was a young teenager,
他的哥哥和两个姐姐搬了出去 his brother and two sisters moved out.
我想我们得回到下东区那个小男孩的状态 I think you have to go back to the little boy in the Lower East Side
他失去了父亲 who lost his father.
和母亲相依为命 It was just he and his mother,
我想他的母亲需要辛苦劳作才能得到食物 and I think she had to struggle to food on the erm table.
可他的母亲显然是个很棒的厨师 But his mother was apparently a great cook.
路德会有孤独的时候 Luther would have had periods of solitude
之后母亲回家做饭 给他很大的快乐 followed by the intense pleasure of his mother's home cooking.
这样的经历对这个年轻人产生了长久的影响 And that experience made a lasting impact on the youngster.
我确实觉得 在那种时候 食物是一种解药 I did get the sense that food was used as a solve even then,
帮助缓解失去父亲的痛苦 to help with the pains of losing his father.
路德很早就学会了这种办法 Luther learns very early on
当我不开心的时候 ‘when I'm not feeling happy,
当我需要食物安慰的时候 when I need comfort food make me feel comfortable',
琳达•帕帕多普洛斯博士 心理学家
我们是有习惯的生物 对吧 and we're creatures of habit right?
所以 如果这个办法 ‘So, if this is worked
在我10岁 12岁 15岁的时候管用 when I was 10 and 12 and 15,
以后我可能还会用这种办法 this is probably somewhere I'm going to go back to later on in life.'
因此 As a consequence,
路德与食物的关系变得相当复杂 Luther's relationship with food becomes quite complicated
所以不是他控制自己吃什么 so it's not him controlling what he eats,
是他被自己的食欲控制了 but him being controlled by his need to eat to self-comfort.
当路德的事业达到顶峰时 By the time Luther's career hit the heights,
他对食物已经上瘾了 his relationship with food had developed into an addiction.
如果他开始吃土豆沙拉 If he started to have the potato salad,
或者奶酪通心粉 or if he started to have the macaroni cheese –
他会想吃更多 更多 更多 更多 he's gonna want more and more and more and more of it.
他一旦开始吃 就会一直想吃 Once he starts eating them, he continues to want to eat them.
路德非常清楚自己的状况 Luther was only too aware of his condition.
他说最糟糕的上瘾是食物上瘾 He said the worst addiction to have was a food addiction,
因为他说 你知道 一个人在努力减肥 because he said, “You know, a person that was struggling with their weight –
他们一走进房间 所有人都看到了 无法隐藏 they walk into a room and that's all anybody sees, and they can't hide it.”
这让他很沮丧 And that really frustrated him.
朋友们试图帮他 Friends tried to help,
但一旦路德的饮食失去控制 没人能阻止他 but once Luther's eating got out of control, no one could stop him.
我对他说 我说 路 你在干什么 I said things to him, I said “Lu what are you doing man?”
他会说 我有这个 你能让我吃我的饭吗 Well he'd say, “I've got this, can you please let me eat my food.”
会有一点意见 A little attitude would come.
我不想和他打一架 我也不能拿走他的食物 I don't want to get into a fight with him, and I can't take his food from him,
我能做的就是让他知道我有点儿生你的气 对 all I can do is let him know I am kind of pissed at you, yeah.
他不在乎 还是吃了 He didn't care. He ate his food.
对于路德这样对食物成瘾的人来说 For food addicts like Luther,
远离某些食物 staying away from certain foods
可能不仅仅是意志力的问题 maybe more than just a question of willpower.
对一些人来说 脂肪和糖含量高的食物可能会 For some people foods that are ranged in fats and sugar may
像可卡因和海洛因一样对大脑的奖赏和愉悦中枢 have an intense impact on the same reward and pleasure centres
产生强烈的影响 of the brain as cocaine and heroin.
它们增加了化学神经递质多巴胺的释放 They increase the release of the chemical neurotransmitter dopamine,
这种物质会产生快乐和动力 which creates feelings of pleasure and motivation.
这会导致强迫性饮食 And this can lead to compulsive eating.
但我相信这并不是路德过量饮食的所有原因 But I believe Luther's excessive eating doesn't give the whole picture.
我还能看到他瘦的时候 I can also see there were times when he was lean,
体重指数接近最低值 nearer to the lower end of the BMI scale.
在我试图理解是什么最终杀死了路德时 In my attempt to understand what finally killed Luther
我需要找出是什么让他的体重发生了如此剧烈的变化 I need to find out what was going on to give him such wild variations in weight.
2001年5月12日 在路德去世前四年 May 12th 2001, four years before his death,
2001年5月12日 牙买加金斯顿
路德正准备在加勒比地区 Luther is preparing to perform in the Caribbean
以他新唱片公司 J唱片公司的名义演出 under his new label, J Records.
他的日常生活有严格的饮食和锻炼 His daily routine embraces a strict regime of diet and exercise,
包括在踏板课上领跑 including taking the lead in a step class.
他上有氧运动课 那里有古老的灵魂音乐 He did an aerobics class where it was old soul music
他也跳上跳下 and he was doing the steps up and down up and down.
他是浪漫主义领军男歌手 He was a romantic leading man singer,
他知道从专业角度来看 and he knew that professionally erm
做这一行对他最有利 it would be in his best interest to look the part.
路德和乐队成员 每个人 Luther and the band members, everybody,
他们都来和他一起工作 支持他 they were coming to work out with him and support.
在那个特殊时刻 他真的非常重视自己的健康 He was really taking his health very seriously at that particular time.
我训练过他 所以他能燃烧卡路里 I was there to train him, so he can burn the calories
让他成为一直想成为的人 and let him be the thing that he always wanted to be.
为了他的新厂牌和重新开始的事业 Luther wanted to be in the best shape
路德想要以最好的状态出现 for his new label and the reboot of his career.
但是 他已经与他的食物恶魔 But, he had already been successfully
斗争了3年 battling his food demons for three years.
转折点出现在1998年的感恩节晚餐上 The turning point had come at Thanksgiving dinner in 1998.
在那个感恩节 他吃了一家六口的食物量 At that Thanksgiving he ate as much a family of six.
没有人会仅仅因为饥饿吃下六个人的食物 Nobody eats enough food for a family of six just because they're hungry,
也没有人会那么饿 nobody's ever been that hungry.
那晚的最后 他对自己说 And at the end of the night he just said to himself,
这是我最后一次狂欢 我不会再让这种事发生 “This is my last hurrah. I can't let this happen to myself again.”
从那时起 他开始真正致力于减肥 And that was when he really started devoting to himself to losing the weight.
路德决心 Luther was determined
要彻底戒掉他对食物的瘾 that he was going to beat his addiction once and for all.
但这不是他第一次尝试了 But this wasn't the first time he had attempted to kick the habit.
你知道他节食很多次 You know he's gone on so many diets
曾经他和奥普拉一起节食 都吃流质食物 he one-once went on this diet with Oprah that was just all liquid.
就是那种非常时髦的饮食 Just those kind of like really faddish type of diets.
他说开始就开始 And when he went at it, he went at it.
我跟你们讲 他做事就是做事的样子 I'm telling you, when he was on a mission, he was on a mission,
和其他事一样 like everything else.
我从报告中看到 路德的节食计划会 I can see from reports that Luther's dieting would be incredibly successful
让他成功地减掉大量体重 at achieving the loss of a vast amount of weight very quickly.
路德可以在几个月内从340磅 Luther could drop from a waistband stretching 340 pounds,
减到140磅 能穿上时髦的牛仔裤 to a designer jean wearing low of only 140 in a matter of months.
我对体重增加和减少的极端情况感到震惊 I was shocked at the extremity of weight gain and then weight loss.
这是一场恶战 It had to be you know a titanic battle.
这位明星将经历一次又一次这样的战斗 And it was a battle that the star would undergo time and time again.
到了90年代 短时间节食和极速增重 By the nineties, crash dieting followed by extreme weight gain had
已经成为一种行为习惯 become a pattern of behaviour.
这是我第8次减重超过120磅了 This is the eighth time that I will have lost in excess of 120 pounds.
所以 很多时候体重反弹 So, that's really facing your worst fear lot of times
是你最害怕的时刻 because gaining the weight back,
这绝对是我最害怕的事情 it's absolutely categorically my worst fear.
路德知道如何减肥 Luther knew how to lose weight,
但在压力下 他会丧失自制力 but under pressure his self-control could crumble.
压力 一直都是压力 It was stress, it was always the stress.
路德节食失败的原因 Luther's dieting downfall
是他想完全控制自己的事业 was his desire to take complete control over his career.
这些压力让他转向那些 Those pressures made him turn to the thing
让他觉得舒服的事 that made him feel comfortable and you know,
让他觉得压力和孤独感都减少了 那就是食物 less stressed and less alone – food.
当我们感到不舒服或焦虑时 What we're gonna do when you become uncomfortable and agitated is
我们会去做让我们能立刻感觉良好的事 go to the one thing that we know for sure will make us feel better right away
对路德来说 这件事就是吃东西 and in Luther's case this was food.
因此 这就形成了一种恶性循环 So it set up this kind of vicious cycle
他压力越大 吃得就越多 where the more stressed he got, the more he ate.
但他吃得越多 就觉得自己越糟糕 But then the more he ate the worst he would feel about himself
因此他的压力就越大 and therefore the more stressed he got.
我认为这就是我们反复看到的恶性循环 And it was this vicious cycle I think that we see played over and over again.
多年来 路德反反复复的节食 Over the years, Luther's yoyo dieting had
给他的精神和身体都带来了巨大压力 put immense stress on him mentally and physically.
我看到他消沉下去 又振作起来 I would see him go down, doing great
所有人都希望看到他状态良好的样子 and all love to see him doing great,
然后 他的食量突然又增加了 then all of a sudden we would see the eating pick up again.
你知道 这样反复一两次没关系 You know maybe if it's once or twice it's okay,
但如果这么反反复复 就会对身体造成伤害 but when you do that a lot, it's gotta wreak havoc on the body.
一些医学研究确实表明 Some medical studies do appear to indicate that
溜溜球节食法 也叫体重循环 over time yoyo dieting, otherwise known as weight-cycling,
可能会增加内脏脂肪 may actually increase visceral fat.
内脏脂肪是储存在腹腔内 Visceral fat is body fat that is stored within the abdominal cavity
一些重要内脏器官周围的脂肪 around a number of important internal organs,
如肝脏 胰腺和肠道 such as liver, pancreas and intestines.
这种脂肪还与一系列出现健康问题的风险的增加有关 And is associated with increased risk of a number of health problems.
但我认为强迫性饮食和溜溜球节食的恶性循环 But I think the vicious cycle of compulsive eating and yoyo dieting
只是一部分原因 is only part of the picture.
我发现路德患了一种病 I have discovered that Luther suffered from a disease.
一种因为他的饮食选择或许会致命的病 A disease that became potentially deadly because of his food choices.
到2002年 路德面临致命的医疗急救情况 By 2002, Luther was on course for a catastrophic medical emergency,
他的饮食可能是问题所在 and the food he ate may have been a recipe for disaster.
看了这些记录 我发现了证据 Looking at the records, I have found evidence of a disease
有种疾病可能是路德死亡的主要原因 that may have made a major contribution to Luther's death.
我可以从他的医疗报告中看到 I can see in his medical reports that
他死的时候正在服用胰岛素 at the time of his death he was taking insulin.
这是用来控制糖尿病的药物 A drug used to control diabetes.
2001年9月1日 离他去世还有不到4年 September 1st 2001, just under four years before his death.
2001年9月1日 密歇根州底特律市卡莫利加公园
在底特律表演前 路德不情愿地服用了药物 Luther reluctantly takes his medication prior to performing in Detroit.
他讨厌这种每天都要服用的药物并相信 He resents this drug routine and believes that
如果他能保持健康的体重 他将不再需要处方药 if he can maintain a healthy weight he'll no longer need his prescription meds.
他不喜欢接受严格的药物治疗 He didn't like to be on the regimented medication.
但当他不节食时 他就要吃药 But when he wasn't on his diet he had to take his medication.
他不想吃药 He just didn't want to.
他说 如果我保持较低的体重 He said “As long as I keep my weight down
我想我能控制住糖尿病 I think I can control the diabetes.”
但是 他有时候就是控制不住自己 But, he just couldn't stop himself sometimes.
路德非常喜欢糖尿病高危食物 Luther had an excessive weakness for diabetic danger foods,
他甚至开发了属于自己的高脂肪 高碳水的零食 he even developed his own high fat, high-carb snack.
美味之一就是他会把一个汉堡 One of the delicacies was he would take a hamburger
夹在两个甜甜圈中间 and put it between two donuts.
他真的很喜欢这么吃 这是他的首选 And he really loved it like that was really a go-to for him.
这种夸张的零食像个笑话 被称作路德汉堡 As a joke, the extreme snack became known as the Luther burger.
但是这位歌手的糖尿病可不是闹着玩的 But the singer's diabetes was no laughing matter.
当人体细胞对胰岛素产生抗体 就会得糖尿病 Diabetes occurs when the body cells become resistant to the hormone insulin.
胰岛素是一种由胰腺产生的激素 常被称作 Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas is often described as
打开细胞大门的钥匙 a key which unlocks the cells
可以让糖进入细胞被转化为能量 to allow sugar to enter and be used for energy.
当这个过程被打破 When this process breaks down,
血液中糖的浓度就会过高 it results in a high concentration of sugar in the blood.
如果处理不当 就会导致动脉硬化 If it's not managed correctly, this can lead to atherosclerosis –
动脉中的沉积物会导致心脏病 a build-up of deposits in the arteries that can lead to heart disease.
2型糖尿病是美国致死率最高的疾病之一 Type 2 diabetes is one the biggest killers in the United States,
而超重是患病的主要原因 and being overweight is a major trigger for the onset of the disease.
但我认为还有另一个原因说明 But, I believe there is another reason
路德应该认真对待糖尿病 why Luther should have taken the risks of diabetes seriously.
1999年初 范德鲁斯一家在 Early in 1999, the Vandross family gathered to pray
路德最小的姐姐安妮办完葬礼后聚在一起祈祷 after the funeral of Luther's youngest sister, Anne.
路德的三个哥哥姐姐都在54岁前去世 All three of Luther's older brothers and sisters have died under the age of 54.
路德现在是兄弟姐妹中最后一个在世的 And Luther is now the last surviving sibling.
路德的母亲常说 Luther's mother would say that
没有什么比白发人送黑发人更糟的了 there's nothing worse than having to bury your child.
渐渐地 她不得不送走一个又一个孩子 And then slowly she had to bury child after child.
只剩玛丽•艾达和路德了 It was just Mary Ida and Luther.
你知道这是他们仅剩的家庭成员 You know that—that was the family that they had left.
当我调查此事时 报告提到 When I look into this, reports mention that
路德的哥哥查尔斯和姐姐帕特丽夏都 both Luther's brother Charles and little sister Patricia
死于糖尿病相关疾病 died of diabetes related conditions.
不仅如此 And that's not all.
路德的父亲死于糖尿病昏迷症 享年38岁 Luther's father died of a diabetic coma at the age of 38.
2型糖尿病可能是由肥胖引起的 也可能是遗传 Type 2 diabetes may be brought on by obesity, but it may also be hereditary.
这种疾病在非裔美国人中更常见 And it is more common in African-Americans.
路德的情况可能有是在的遗传因素导致的 There could have been an underlying genetic cause for his condition.
路德知道他的家族史 他知道 Aware of his family history Luther knew that
如果不想让他的母亲独自一人 if he didn't want his mother to be left alone
他必须停止暴食 he had to put an end to his binge eating.
他真的很爱他的妈妈 你知道 He really loved his mom, you know,
他给了他的妈妈一个承诺 虽然没能兑现 但他努力了 he—he made his mom a promise, he wasn't able to keep it, he tried.
他说 只要我保持体重 我想我可以控制糖尿病 He said, as long I keep my weight down I think I can control the diabetes.
路德的糖尿病可能对他的死亡影响很大 Luther's diabetes may have played a significant part in his ultimate demise,
但我也相信 这种疾病可能会 but I also believe the disease could have been made even more dangerous
因为他给自己施加了很大的压力变得更危险 as a result of the extreme pressures he placed on himself performing
而他这样是为了让自己的艺术事业保持高水平 as an artist at the highest level.
2002年8月15日 在他去世三年前 August 15th 2002, three years before his death.
2002年8月15日 汉堡王寻找灵魂之旅 马萨诸塞州波士顿市福利特波士顿展览馆
路德再次踏上了 Luther takes to the road again
由汉堡王赞助的汉堡王寻找灵魂之旅 for the BK Got Soul Tour sponsored by Burger King.
这次巡演折磨人的行程遍及全美19个城市 Its punishing schedule takes in 19 cities stretching all across America.
路德每天起床努力工作 Luther got up and worked hard every day.
他有很强的奉献精神 毅力 动力和专注力 He had such dedication, such perseverance such drive and... and and focus.
他工作很努力 非常努力 He was a hard worker, very hard worker.
他的竞争欲望和争第一的欲望都非常强烈 His competitive instinct, his desire to remain on top was intense.
路德对成为行业中最优秀的人的追求是无止境的 Luther's drive to be the best in the business was unrelenting.
我来告诉你 在路上的环境很艰苦 Let me tell you, being on the road is very difficult period.
我们表演完一场 We would do a show
之后会坐巴士坐8个小时才能到下一个演出点 and then we would get a bus and have to driver 8 hours to the next gig.
我认为他承受的压力是巨大的 I think the toll with the pressures on himself was great.
他设计了灯光 He created what the lights are going to look like,
设计了布景 he creates what the sets were going to look like,
还设计了服装 what the costumes were going to look like.
我担心他急于在舞台上 I was worried about his anxiety to
取得他想要的效果 achieve the results that he wanted for the stage.
2003年2月 巡演结束 但压力依然存在 February 2003, the touring has ended but the pressure continues.
2003年2月 金曲工厂 纽约州纽约市
路德在录音室录制新专辑 与父亲共舞 Luther is in the studio recording a new album Dance With My Father.
他打算以单曲的形式发行主打歌 He aims to release the title track as single.
与父亲共舞 是一首非常特别的歌曲 Dance With My father was a very special song
路德是为纪念父亲而创作的 Luther wrote in honour of his father.
他说 克莱夫 这是一首记录我职业生涯的歌 He said, “Clive this is a career song,
也有自传的性质 与父亲共舞 very autobiographical. Dance With My Father.”
他很小的时候就失去了的父亲 A father that he had lost at a very early age.
他只想要那一刻 And he just wanted that moment,
他的父亲最后一次抱起他在怀中哄着的时刻 that last time his father picked him and swung him around.
那一刻他又与父亲共舞 That Dance With My Father again.
这张专辑对路德来说意味着一切 The album meant everything to Luther
他为此不知疲倦地工作 and he worked tirelessly on the project.
但他也在纽约无线电音乐厅 But he was also performing a string of solo nights
有一晚上的单独演出 at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
他的助理会感叹 天啊 这太累了 And his assistant was just like “Oh my gosh this is going to be too much.”
路德把自己置于巨大的压力之下 这也导致了紧张 Luther was putting himself under intense pressure and that leads to stress.
长时间的紧张状态意味着 Prolonged or intense periods of stress mean that
皮质醇 一种压力荷尔蒙的水平会升高 levels of cortisol, known as a stress hormone, will be elevated.
皮质醇水平的升高会促进肝脏产生葡萄糖 Raised cortisol will enhance the production of glucose by the liver,
从而导致血糖升高 which leads to higher blood sugar.
对于路德这样的糖尿病患者来说 这是最糟糕的情况 This is the worst possible scenario for a diabetic like Luther.
如果不采取措施 后果是致命的 And if nothing is done to correct it, the outcome can be catastrophic.
但路德没有减少工作量 也没有改变饮食习惯 But Luther isn't letting up on his workload or his eating habits.
我们结束无线电城的演出后 去了录音室 When we finished Radio City, we went into the studio,
在那里 路德点了百吉饼 and while we were there Luther was kinda ordering bagels
煎饼一类的东西 还有培根和其他一些吃的 and pancakes and stuff like that, and bacon and everything.
那时候他有头疼的毛病 你知道 And at that time he was having headaches you know,
他有这些小毛病 he was having these little headaches.
几天后 路德生命受到严重威胁 Within days Luther's life would be on the line.
他母亲说 我每天晚上和早上都和路德通话 His mom, she said “I talk to Luther every night and every morning.”
然后 有天晚上 她给路德打电话 但他没有接 Then this one particular night she said she called him and he didn't answer.
2003年4月16日上午 路德去世前两年 The morning of April 16th 2003, two years before Luther's death.
2003年4月16日 曼哈顿 路德的公寓
他的私人助理去了他的公寓 His personal assistant visits the singer's apartment.
路德在吗 Luther?
助理敲了敲门 但没有回应 The assistant knocked and didn't get a response.
路德 是我 我是麦克斯 Luther, it's me Max.
很奇怪 And that was odd.
他敲了很多次 又给路德的经纪人打电话 And he tried a number of times and he called Luther's manager
经纪人很着急 让他把门砸开 who immediately panicked and told him just to break down the door.
什么 What?
一进公寓 他就看到路德倒在地板上 And once he just inside the apartment he saw Luther collapsed on the floor.
他还是清醒的 他说 我想喝水 He was still conscious he said, “I need some water.”
又说 给我妈妈打电话 And he said “Call my momma.”
记录显示 2003年4月16日 Records show that on April 16th 2003,
路德•范德鲁斯中风了 非常严重 威胁生命 Luther Vandross had a massive stroke which had the potential to be fatal.
医护人员赶来救治 Paramedics arrive to treat the stricken star,
但他们当时无能为力 but there was little they could do at the scene.
我们知道 路德自己在地板上躺了7个多小时 We know that Luther was by himself on that floor for over 7 hours.
这份法医报告称 This report from the medical examiner states that
路德颅内有出血 Luther had an intracerebral haemorrhage,
这是一种危及生命的中风类型 which is a life-threatening type of stroke,
他大脑中的一条小动脉破裂 导致脑出血 where a small artery ruptures inside the brain filling it with blood.
路德大脑内的瘀血给 The build-up on blood inside Luther's brain put pressure
他脆弱器官的关键部位造成了压力 干扰了氧气供应 on crucial parts of his delicate organ, interfering with its oxygen supply.
就好像正常的血液流动出了问题 It's as if the normal blood flow goes haywire,
流向了不该去的地方 没有到需要血液的地方 travelling to places it shouldn't go and abandoning regions where it's needed.
因为他7个小时后才被发现 The damage to his brain would likely have been more severe
所以他的脑损伤可能会更严重 as a result of the fact that he wasn't found for seven hours.
如果中风患者在3小时内得到救治 Chances of recovery from a stroke massively increase
他们康复的几率会大大增加 if stroke victims are treated within 3 hours.
路德被迅速送往附近的医疗中心 Luther was rushed to a nearby medical centre.
威尔康奈尔医学中心 曼哈顿
他们一到医院就得到了最坏的消息 Once they got to the hospital they found out the worst news.
每个人都泪流满面 感到焦虑 Everybody was in tears and—and just frantic.
中风对路德有致命的影响 The stroke has had a devastating impact on the music star.
他陷入了昏迷 还在为自己的生命而战 Luther is locked in a coma, and fighting for his life.
颅内出血时 患者常常会陷入昏迷 In an intracerebral haemorrhage, the victim often falls into a coma
这是由于大脑关键部位缺氧 when a significant portion of the brain has been starved of oxygen.
近一半的患者在一个月内死亡 Nearly half of those affected, die within a month,
而活下来的患者面临残疾等并发症的风险 and those who survive risk complications including severe disability.
中风使路德生命垂危 The stroke puts the performer's life in the balance.
但这并不是路德•范德鲁斯生命的终点 But it was not the end of Luther Vandross,
接下来几个月发生的事震惊了所有人 and the events in the coming months would shock everyone.
世界著名法医病理学家迈克尔•亨特博士正在研究 World-renowned forensic pathologist, Dr Michael Hunter is examining
格莱美奖得主 the medical evidence surrounding the death of Grammy award
灵魂传奇人物路德•范德鲁斯之死有关的医学证据 winning soul legend Luther Vandross
他年仅54岁就离世了 who died at just 54 years of age.
2003年4月16日 路德生了场大病 On April 16th 2003, Luther Vandross had a major medical event
这与他的生活方式直接相关 that can be directly linked to his lifestyle.
他突发脑血管意外 俗称中风 A cerebral vascular accident, known commonly as a stroke.
在路德的病例中 他是脑出血 In Luther's case it was a haemorrhage in the brain,
这通常是由高血压引起的 normally caused by high blood pressure.
但是 我认为路德 But, I believe that high blood pressure
之前应该已经在 may have been a pre-existing condition that
治疗高血压 Luther was already treating.
在医学调查记录中 我发现 In the medical investigation notes I have discovered that
路德经常服用活络喜和托塞米 Luther was regularly taking Norvasc and Demadex.
这些都是治疗高血压的药物 These are drugs to treat hypertension or high blood pressure.
所以路德正在服药 So Luther was on medication
治疗糖尿病和高血压 to treat his diabetes and to treat high blood pressure.
坚持药物治疗对他的健康很重要 Sticking to this course of medication would have been vital to his wellbeing.
但路德可能低估了潜在的危险 But it's possible that Luther underestimated the potential danger that
他的潜在医疗条件对他构成了威胁 his underlying medical conditions posed to him.
路德已经到了厌倦服药的地步 Luther got to a point where he was just tired of taking the medication.
这是因为他需要一直吃药 Erm because he had to take it all the time.
据我所知 不服药是他中风的原因 It is my understanding that not taking the medication is what led to his stroke.
要根据具体情况 Medicines are carefully prescribed in the right dosage
谨慎地按量用药 to treat specific conditions.
如果路德决定自己规划服药剂量 If Luther decided to manage his medicines himself
而没有先咨询专业意见 without first consulting professional advice,
这会大大增加中风的几率 it would have significantly increased the chances of a stroke.
路德中风可能会是致命的 但首次犯病 他活了下来 Luther's stroke could have been fatal, but he survived the initial attack.
然而 他陷入了昏迷 Instead he was locked into a coma,
我可以从报告中看到 路德的情况很快恶化了 and I can see from reports that Luther's condition soon worsened.
2003年4月 威尔康奈尔医学中心 曼哈顿
昏迷会损害身体抵抗感染的能力 A coma can impair the body's ability to fight off infection.
在昏迷的时候 路德感染了肺炎 And while comatose, Luther contracted pneumonia.
这是中风最糟糕的情况 It was really was the worst possible you could have around a stroke,
人们不知道他能否活下来 and it was just people really not knowing whether he was gonna live or die.
2003年6月2日 在昏迷了6周后 June 2nd 2003, 6 weeks after falling into a coma,
2003年6月2日 威尔康奈尔医学中心 曼哈顿
路德还在与病魔作斗争 Luther is fighting for his life.
但有件事给人带来了希望 他与母亲进行了眼神交流 But something happens to bring hope, he makes eye contact with his mother.
他的母亲看着他的眼睛说 路德 我需要你康复 His mother looked in his eyes and said, “Luther I need you to get well.”
虽然他没有回应 但她觉得他明白了 And although he never responded, she felt like he got the message,
她认为他明白自己活着比什么都重要 think he understood that his survival was bigger than him.
他活着对他的母亲来说意义重大 That his survival meant so much to his mother.
路德的母亲与他的谈话起了作用 Luther's mothers' talk with her son yields a medical benefit,
他开始显出康复迹象 he begins to show signs of recovery
6月10日 他的专辑 与父亲共舞发行了 and on June 10th his album, Dance With My Father is released.
人们对这张专辑的反应非常强烈 The reaction to the record was so strong,
这张专辑登上了榜首 这是路德职业生涯中的第一次 for the first time in his career and very few times in anyone's career
而对很多人来说 这是不可实现的 the album entered the charts at number one.
2003年6月23日 耳语山康复中心 新泽西州爱迪生市
到2003年6月下旬 By late June 2003,
路德被转移到康复中心进行疗养 Luther has been moved to an assisted living facility for rehabilitation.
这张专辑的成功给了他很大的鼓舞 The news of his album's success gives him a boost
在接下来的一年 他的状态开始恢复 and over the course of the next year, he starts to fight back.
在康复中心 In the rehab facility,
他只听他的新专辑 与父亲共舞 all he listened to was his brand-new Dance With My Father album,
一直一直播放 and it would just play and play.
这确实对他的治疗很有效 It was certainly having a good therapeutic err impact on him.
我想没有人会想到他会 I don't think anybody expected him to jump
在麦迪逊广场花园的舞台上一展身手 on stage at Madison Square Garden,
但他似乎又找回了自己的语言 but there was some sense that he was getting his language back.
也开始变得乐观 Then thoughts got kind of brighten.
他想要活下去 恢复正常 He wanted to live, he wanted to get back to normal,
他在康复中心用尽所有力量 想要变得更好 he fought with every ounce of energy that he had in rehab, err to get better.
路德需要变得强壮 他渐渐又学会了说话 Luther needs to be strong, and slowly he learns to talk again.
但他永远无法完全恢复他完美的嗓音 But he'll never recover the full power of his incredible voice.
显然 他的职业生涯结束了 Obviously his professional life was over.
职业生涯结束 To have that taken away,
我想你能猜出那多么令人心碎 I mean you can only project that it had to be heart-breaking.
天鹅绒质地般的声音消失了 It was the velvet voice that was gone.
人们想到中风的时候 想到的可能是它对身体的影响 When people think of a stroke, people think of the physical impact.
但它对心理的影响是深远的 The psychological impact though can be profound.
因为它影响了身份认知 我认为在路德的例子中 Because it affects identity and I think in the case of Luther,
他知道他再也不能唱歌了 这是非常令人心碎的 what was very sad is that he knows that he'll never sing again.
这对他产生巨大的影响 And that would have had such a powerful effect,
不仅影响他如何看待自己 也影响了他如何看待未来 on not just how he saw himself, but also how he saw the future.
路德想活在音乐中 想要演出 The man wanted to live his music, he wanted to perform,
他非常想回到原来的状态 he wanted so much to get back to where he was.
他怎么可能不沮丧 How could he not be depressed?
我能从报告中看出来路德的抑郁症很严重 I can see that Luther's depression was serious enough for him
医生给他开了曲唑酮 这是一种抗抑郁的药 to be prescribed Trazodone, an antidepressant.
曲唑酮的副作用之一是心律失常 One of the reported side effects of Trazodone is an irregular heart rhythm.
2005年5月29日 耳语山康复中心 新泽西州爱迪生市
2005年5月29日 路德去世前一个月 May 29th 2005, one month before Luther's death.
在康复中心 路德的母亲艾达努力 At the rehabilitation facility, Luther's mother, Ida tries to
让她唯一在世的孩子保持良好的精神状态 keep her only surviving child in good spirits.
她定期去探望他 亲眼目睹了儿子抑郁症的严重 She visits him regularly, and witnesses the depths of her son's depression.
他不想说话 治疗师说 He doesn't want to talk and err the therapists say
他甚至不想做该做的运动 he doesn't even want to take the exercise that he's supposed to have,
因为他极度渴望恢复健康 because he's very anxious to be well again.
路德一直被一种想法困扰 Luther may have been haunted by the thought that
那就是他自己的行为可能导致了他目前的状况 his own behaviour may have contributed to his condition.
路德使用曲唑酮治疗抑郁症 Luther's use of Trazodone for depression
是经过仔细检查的 would have been carefully monitored,
没有证据表明这种药对他的心脏有任何影响 and there's no evidence that this drug in anyway impacted on his heart.
但有些东西会产生影响 But there is something that would have impacted.
路德很胖 Luther was an obese man
他躺在床上接受了大量康复治疗 who'd been in bed for large amounts of his rehabilitation.
医生意识到了深静脉血栓形成的风险 Doctors were aware of the risk of DVT or deep vein thrombosis,
这血栓会在他腿上形成一个大血块 causing a major blood clot in his legs,
血块会流向心脏和肺部 这是致命的 travelling to his heart and lungs and that could be fatal.
他患有糖尿病 腹部周围的脂肪限制了血液流动 With his diabetes and the fat around his abdomen restricting blood flow,
而且他长期不能行动 and his long-term immobility –
这都让他面临突然死亡的巨大风险 he is at high risk of a sudden and unexpected death.
2005年7月1日 耳语山康复中心 新泽西州爱迪生市 12:50 PM
2005年7月1日下午12：50 路德被宣布死亡前1小时 12:50 pm, July 1st 2005. One hour before being pronounced dead,
他在康复治疗中突然晕倒 Luther is in the middle of a rehabilitation session when he collapses.
路德需要立即就医 Luther was in need of immediate medical attention.
据报道 一个医疗小组赶到并试图唤醒路德 According to the report a medical team arrived and tried to resuscitate Luther.
他们准备尝试除颤 They prepared to try defibrillation,
但路德的心率并没有明显异常 but Luther's heart is showing no shock-able rhythm.
医护人员尝试了心肺复苏术 但没有成功 Paramedics try their own CPR but without success.
路德被紧急送往医院 And Luther is rushed to the hospital.
路德到达医院 他的瞳孔在扩散 Luther arrives and his pupils are still fixed and dilated,
急救室医生给他进行了气管插管并又进行了心肺复苏 the emergency rooms doctors intubate him and try CPR again.
但路德没有反应 But Luther does not respond.
1:58 PM
下午1点58分 定义了一代人的灵魂歌手被宣布死亡 At 1:58 pm the soul singer who defined a generation is pronounced dead.
娱乐界正在为路德•范德鲁斯的逝世悼念 The entertainment world is mourning the death of Luther Vandross.
星期五 范德鲁斯在新泽西州的一家医院去世 Vandross died Friday at a hospital in New Jersey,
他于两年前中风 two years after suffering a stroke.
你对他有所期盼 为他祈祷的那个人已经不在了 This person that you hoped for and prayed for was now no longer here.
天啊 真难过 真难过 Oh my god, it was really something. Really something.
但他死后几周 But within weeks of his death
他患有某种神秘疾病的传言又开始出现 rumours of a secret illness began to resurface.
亨特博士认为 是时候弄清真相了 Dr Hunter believes it's time to get to the bottom of this speculation,
并对路德的死因下了最终定论 and deliver his final verdict on what really killed Luther Vandross.
路德是一个患有糖尿病的溜溜球节食者 Luther was a yoyo dieter who had diabetes,
他还有高血压 and he also suffered from hypertension.
当同时患有高血压和糖尿病时 When hypertension and diabetes co-exist,
一种疾病的影响往往使另一种疾病恶化 the effects of one disease tends to make the other worse.
这是个致命组合 This makes for a deadly combination.
这些病是可以治疗的 正确的饮食 These conditions are treatable, and the right combinations of diet,
适量的运动并服药会延长他的生命 light exercise, and medication would have undoubtedly prolonged his life.
但中风让情况变复杂 The stroke made things even more complicated,
不过我的调查是不是漏掉了什么 but was there something that my investigation has missed?
网上有很多文章提到这个问题 There were numerous internet articles that ask the question –
路德死于艾滋病吗 did Luther die of AIDS?
这些谣言并不新鲜 These rumours were nothing new.
有类似报道称 1986年 路德因艾滋病濒临死亡 Similar reports stated that Luther was near death with AIDS in 1986.
感染艾滋病毒增加了患心脏病和中风的几率 HIV infection increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
我需要调查是否有任何医学或科学证据表明 I will need to investigate if there's any medical or scientific evidence
路德与这种致命的疾病有关 linking Luther with the deadly disease.
在路德的一生中 他一直对一件事保密 他的性取向 Throughout his life, Luther had kept one thing secret – his sexuality.
尽管有很多人猜测他是同性恋 Although there was much speculation that he was gay.
你知道 他觉得这与他人无关 Well you know, he felt that that was nobody's business.
所以他对此保密 So he was guarded.
2001年5月 记者克雷格•西摩询问他的性取向 In May 2001, journalist Craig Seymour quizzed him about his sexuality.
他知道 如果我能让他公开回应 那将意义非凡 He knew that it would mean a lot if I could get him to come out on the record,
他一直说 我知道你想得到什么答案 and he kept saying “I know what you're trying to get at.”
他说这话时笑了 但并不刻薄 And he didn't do it in a mean way, he was laughing when he says that.
你知道 他说 我知道你想得到什么回答 You know, “I know what you're trying to get at,
但你永远不会得到想要的回答 but you ain't never gonna get it.”
那些把他性取向和艾滋病联系起来的谣言激怒了路德 Luther had been angered by gossip connecting his presumed sexuality with HIV.
有谣言说 噢 凯文和路德在一起了 There was rumours going round that “Oh Kevin and Luther are together.”
有传言说我们都得了艾滋病 There were rumours gonna around that he and I had AIDS.
他们把这些谣言告诉他 They bring it to him
路德会回应道 我今天不想听这些废话 and he's like “I don't wanna hear this crap today.”
在20世纪80年代中期 性生活频繁的男同性恋者是 In the mid 1980's, sexually active gay men were
感染艾滋病的高危人群 a high-risk group for HIV infection.
受害者体重可能会急剧下降 And victims could suffer severe weight loss,
路德的速成节食导致了对此疯狂的猜测 Luther's crash diets lead to wild speculation.
路德得了艾滋病 看他多瘦 “Luther's got AIDS, look how skinny he is.”
实际上他是害怕自己的形象 He was actually afraid of his image of that—that guy,
被别的东西影响 you know being tarnished with some stuff.
因为你瘦了 去年关于此有很多谣言 Last year there were a lot of rumours because you got thin.
呃 嗯 Um-hum.
你的体型变了很多 -You got a new body.
是啊 你不会问我那件事吧 -Yeah you're not gonna ask me about that stupid thing.
不会的 我想问你吃了什么 -No I gonna ask you what diet you went on.
那些谣言都是毫不负责地刊登出来的 -That was printed so—so irresponsibly wrote in the paper.
我不会提这些的 看着我 我不是在问你 -I'm not going to even mention it, look at my face, I'm not asking you.
然后随后就会食言 -And, and retracted in—in the, in the s— in a subsequent issue.
不 -No.
在给我提供的 There is not collaboration
所有医疗文件和路德的事迹中 in all the medical documentation and anecdotal evidence
没有证据显示 that has been supplied to me to suggest that
艾滋病或相关并发症对路德之死有影响 HIV or related complications played a part in Luther's death.
主要原因是体重增加 糖尿病和高血压 The real problem here is that a weight gain, diabetes and hypertension,
还有他对这些疾病疏于治疗 and his poor management of those conditions.
所有证据都整理好后 亨特博士宣布了他的结论 With all the evidence collated, Dr Hunter delivers his verdict.
在报告中 路德的死亡原因 The reason for Luther death is listed in the report
是疑似心律失常 as probable cardiac arrhythmia.
这个诊断可以解释 But this diagnosis is open to interpretation.
我认为他的死是两种可能情况共同作用的结果 I think his death would have been the end result of two possible scenarios.
心脏骤停是 Sudden cardiac arrest as a result of an enlarged heart
慢性疾病引起的心脏肥大导致的 caused by his chronic conditions,
也可能是腿部的深静脉血栓在 or a blood clot from a DVT in the legs travelling
血液流向肺部的过程中阻止了血液流动引起的 within his blood stream to the lungs stopping blood flow.
总之 路德最致命的问题 Ultimately Luther's deadliest affliction
是对高脂肪食物和甜食有瘾 was his addiction to fatty and sugary foods,
还有他饮食习惯差 对糖尿病控制不利 from his poor diet to his mismanagement of his diabetes.
他的高血压和不断波动的体重 From his high blood pressure and fluctuating weight,
这些都与饮食有关 也导致了路德的死亡 there were many food related factors that led to Luther's death.
但似乎他去世前两年的中风是 But it seems that his stoke two years before his death was
打垮路德努力活下去的斗争的最后一根稻草 the final straw for Luther in his battle to stay alive.
中风剥夺了他的行动能力 The stroke robbed him of his mobility,
使他更易得心血管疾病 making him more prone to the cardiovascular problems
这些病也最终导致了他的死亡 that would eventually kill him.
路德的中风也夺走了他 Luther's stroke also robbed him of the one thing
比食物更渴望的东西 音乐 he craved even more than food – making music.
但是路德的精神在他的唱片中永存 But the spirit of Luther lives on in his recordings.
他感动了数百万人 He touched the lives of millions and millions of people.
因为他们知道他说的话会 Because they knew the wor—the words he was saying would,
留在他们心中 that's just what was going through their hearts.
这张唱片很伟大 因为是大众选出来的 This one is great because it's voted for by the public.
路德会与最美妙的歌曲在一起 Luther was right up there with the best of them.
他的遗产存在于音乐中 His legacy is in his music.
那是永恒的 永远无法从他身上夺走 That's enduring, that's something that can never be taken away from him.
我想 路德离世后 世界失去了一位非常非常特别的人 I think the world lost a special special special man when Luther died.
