悲惨世界是全球上演最长的音乐剧 Les Miserables is the world's longest-running musical.
300多个城市的观众，为之感动 It's moved and mesmerised audiences in more than 300 cities
和着迷，观剧人数接近6000万 around the world and has been seen by nearly 60 million people.
但是它几乎夭折 But it nearly never happened.
70年代, 出自两个法国作家笔下 Written in the '70s by two unknown French composers,
悲惨世界，巴黎首演后，几乎被遗忘 Les Miserables was all but forgotten after it first played in Paris.
如果我当时没走，“这是必须要做的” If I hadn't gone, "This is something I have to do"
我怀疑，它永不会离开法国 I suspect it would never have left France.
1985年在伦敦首演时，受到评论界的抨击 And it got panned by critics when it launched in London in 1985.
第二天一觉醒来，全是差评 We woke up the next morning and the reviews are awful!
他们把它变成多愁善感，无趣的胡话 I mean, they reduce everything to a kind of sentimental, mawkish gibberish.
如今，《悲惨世界》将用最大阵容做25周年庆 Now, Les Mis is celebrating its 25th birthday with the largest of the production of the show
在伦敦02舞台，超过400演员的大型音乐会 at London's O2 Arena, a massive concert featuring more than 400 performers.
小不列颠明星马特.卢卡斯 Yeah, but, no, but... Little Britain star Matt Lucas,
是悲惨世界的超级粉丝，他受邀参演，梦想成真 one of Les Mis's biggest fans, has been invited to fulfil a lifelong dream by performing in the show.
我妈妈也很喜欢悲惨世界，和我一样 My mum loves Les Miserables as much as I do.
除了出演《加冕街》，这是我能给她的最好礼物 Aside from being in Coronation Street, this is about the best present I can give her.
但是马特是唯一，从未演过这部戏的演员 But Matt will be the only performer on stage it never to have been in the show before.
将对他的表演技巧，做最终测试，什么 This will be the ultimate test of his performing skills. What?
什么？开始吗？ What's that? Start when I like?
-好吧，你在等我 -我在等你 Right, I was... You were waiting for me, I was waiting for you!
这是悲惨世界火遍世界的故事 This is the story of how Les Miserables took over the world
也是马特.卢卡斯梦想成真的故事 and how Matt Lucas got to live out the dream of dreams.
哦，哎呀！ Oh, my word!
哦，不！ Oh, no!
25周年 悲惨世界 马特.卢卡斯梦想
你知道这是C.麦金托什办公室？ Do you know that this is actually Cameron Mackintosh's office?
瞧天花板，真豪华，是不是 Look at the ceiling. Look at that. It's pretty grand, isn't it?
看，C.麦金托什认识C.比金斯 Look, Cameron Mackintosh knows Christopher Biggins.
看，这可太酷了，真的 Look. This is pretty cool. Seriously.
C.麦金托什和L.巴特 Cameron Mackintosh and Lionel Bart,
真的难以置信 that genuinely is rather magical.
你看不见 You can't see it,
但还有卡梅隆和C.格达菲的合照 but there's also Cameron with Colonel Gaddafi round there.
# Ah-ah-ah-ah
# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... #
从小，我就爱音乐剧 As a child, I fell in love with musicals.
我父母带我 My parents took me
和朋友去看《奥利弗》，我当时只有5,6岁 and a friend to see Oliver when I was five or six.
R.穆迪演的，在阿尔伯瑞 I think Ron Moody was in it, actually, at the Albery.
把我给征服了 I was just blown away by it.
# Eh-eh-eh-eh... #
我不断看演出 'I continued to go and watch shows.
奶奶带我去，父母带我去 'My grandmother would take me, my parents would take me.
在鲁瑞路皇家剧场，F.瓦汗的42街是我最爱 '42nd Street with Frankie Vaughan at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, was a favourite.
戏里的世界比现实世界安全 It just felt like a safer world to me than the one I was in,
6岁时，我头发全掉了 because I was six years old and my hair fell out
因为遗传过敏，所以我有哮喘和湿疹 and I'm atopic, so I had asthma and eczema, all that sort of stuff.
音乐剧世界就是我的庇护所 For me, it was a real refuge, the world of musicals,
后来我知道自己是同性恋，因为同性恋 long before I knew I was gay, actually, because there is this correlation
和喜欢音乐剧之间有关联，不知道原因 between being gay and loving musicals, I'm not quite sure why.
但那也许我走出来的因素 But maybe that was my coming out.
第一次知道悲惨世界，是芭比肯的原版 I first became aware off Les Mis when it was on in its original production at the Barbican,
我妈去看了，回家还哭，她说 because my mum went to see it and she came home crying and she said,
“戏太棒了”她完全陶醉了 "I've seen this marvellous show," and she was raving about it.
我13岁生日，和家人朋友 For my 13th birthday, I was taken along with family and friends
去看这部戏，我爱上它了 to see the show. And I loved it.
从那时起，它就是我的最爱 From that moment on, it has been my favourite musical.
我要把你举起来 I think I'm going to have to carry you up.
我崇拜马特的创作技巧，和对角色的执着，不分角色 I am an enormous admirer of Matt's skill at creating, then sticking to a character, whatever it is.
但是他第一次提到 But when he first mentioned
悲惨世界曾是一个重要的里程碑 that Les Miserables had been a really important milestone
在他决定成为一个演员时候 in his decision to become a performer,
我说，“咱们加把劲吧” I said, "Let's do a little bit of work."
没空像老一套了 Righty-ho. No time like the old present. Oh!
我告诉他多喜欢悲惨世界，他说：“你干吗不演德纳第？” I told him what a fan I was of Les Miserables and he said, "Why don't you play Thenardier?"
戏里两个丑角之一 As one of just two comedy characters in the show,
黑店旅馆老板德纳蒂 the role of the unscrupulous innkeeper Thenardier
完全适合马特演 is perfect for Matt to play.
我不知道，何时能演 But I've never had that time clear in my schedule to come and do it.
机会来了，02舞台有短期演出 So when the opportunity came to do a shorter run here at the O2,
我一次次给他写信 I wrote him letter after letter
“你一定得让我演啊，求你了” and said, "You've got to let me do this, please."
他人特好，找对人了 And he very kindly wasn't able to find anyone else.
马特.L将参演的这部戏，反映了 Matt Lucas will be joining a show that's become a phenomenon,
革命，爱和救赎的普世故事 with its universal story of revolution, love and redemption.
“我曾有梦，生活将会。。。” # I had a dream my life would be... #
25年来，《悲惨世界》以感人的歌曲 For 25 years, Les Mis has entertained audiences across the world
难忘的表演，打动了全世界观众 with its infectious songs and unforgettable staging.
“所有人赞美店主” # Everybody bless the landlord
“所有人都赞美他太太” # Everybody bless his spouse... #
这是成功的故事，30年前，第一次构思时 It's a success story that no-one could have envisaged when the musical was first conceived
没人会想到 more than 30 years ago.
...再一次 # ..more. #
1970年巴黎，两个法国年轻人 The story starts in 1970s Paris, with two young Frenchmen.
歌曲作者和音乐出版人 One was a songwriter, the other a music publisher.
对一件事，有共同的热情 They shared a mutual passion for one thing in particular -
音乐剧 the world of music theatre.
我们总去英国看音乐剧 We used to travel and to watch musicals in England.
70年代，有次去百老汇看音乐剧 Once we went to Broadway to see a musical in the '70s.
阿兰在纽约看了《耶稣基督超级巨星》 One day, Alain saw in New York Jesus Christ Superstar
两个青年人，像安德鲁和提姆 and you realise that two guys like Andrew and Tim,
是流行歌曲作家，却搞了一出音乐剧 being pop song writers, managed to put on stage a musical.
把歌剧形式重新注入音乐剧 They were reintroducing an operatic form to the musical
通过歌剧来写 because they were writing through sung operas,
就是《巨星》，这启发了我 which is what Jesus Christ Superstar was. And that spoke to me.
阿兰回到巴黎，跟我说：“咱们试试 Alain came back to Paris and told me, "Why don't we try to do
用1789年法国大革命题材 "the same thing with the 1789 French Revolution?"
1973年 # Francaise
1973 # Francaise
# La revolution de la liberte
# Citoyens
# La Bastille est tombee... #
C·迈克尔和阿兰在悲惨世界前，写过摇滚音乐剧 Claude-Michel and Alain had written a great rock opera years before Les Miserables
叫法国革命 called La Revolution Francaise,
法国革命全景 which is a musical theatre version
的音乐剧版 of the whole of the French Revolution.
# Lutte sans pitie
# Pour sa liberte... #
你觉得《悲惨世界》太难吧，孩子！ You think Les Miserables was ambitious, boy!
阿兰和我都感染了音乐剧病毒 Definitely, Alain and me were caught by the virus of musical shows on stage.
什么音乐剧知识都没有 Without having any culture of musicals.
“就当自己到家啦” # Consider yourself at home... #
命中注定，阿兰.B之前 Years before they were destined to meet, Alain Boublil
看了C.麦金托什在伦敦复排的《奥利弗》 found himself seeing Cameron Mackintosh's revival of Oliver in London.
这让他想起《悲惨世界》中的小男孩 It made him think of a young boy from the story of Les Miserables.
我正沉浸剧中，小扒手道奇打乱了我的思绪 I was enjoying immensely this musical, until the Artful Dodger suddenly started to disturb my mind
那一刻，我想起了加弗洛什 and that's the minute I remember thinking of Gavroche.
由此想起了整部小说 And from there on,of the whole novel.
维克多.雨果是19世纪法国 Victor Hugo was a great political figure,
伟大的政治家和艺术家 an artistic figure in 19th-century France.
他的声望不断增长 He grew in stature all through his career
直到成为国家之父 until he really became the father of the nation.
法国每座城市都有维克多·雨果大街 You don't have one town in France without a Victor Hugo Street,
雨果路或雨果街道 Rue Victor Hugo, or Avenue Victor Hugo in all the French towns.
他的作品出众，故事引人入胜 His works are very remarkable because they tell thumping good stories on the one hand
还讲了很多法国历史 and they tell an extraordinary number of truths about French history on the other.
历史与浪漫的结合，使作品有力 And it's that mixture of history and romance that makes them so powerful.
涵盖了所有宏大概念 It's about all the big words -
拯救，真理，宽恕 redemption, truth, forgiveness.
故事讲两个对立的强悍男子 It's about two strong men facing each other,
道德上拥有同等力量和自信 two men of equal moral strength and certainty.
《悲惨世界》主角冉阿让，犯人，逃脱假释，改名换姓 The hero of Les Miserables is the ex-convict Jean Valjean. He jumps parole, changes his name
成了市长。但警长沙威无情的追捕他，想公正审判他 and becomes a town mayor. But he's pursued relentlessly by his nemesis, the self-righteous Inspector Javert.
1830年，冉阿让逃到巴黎，六月起义的贫民和学生中 Valjean's journey takes him to 1830s Paris, amidst the destitute and the students of the June Rebellion.
他知道爱的价值，并走过一生 As he goes through his life, he learns the value of love.
故事里其他东西 And all the other things that are wrapped up in the story
没有中心思想这么重要 are nowhere near as important as that central idea.
1978至1980年，花了两年写这出戏 We spent a two years between '78 and 1980 to write the show.
我做了个小样磁带。自弹自唱，还在那儿呢 I did a demo tape of the show with me at the piano singing every part and the tape is still over there.
# La journee est finie 14 heures a la peine
# Le nez sur l'etabli 14 heures a la chaine
# C'est fini, ca recommence
# Dans la vie, nous les femmes on a la chance
# D'avoir un deuxieme patron a la maison... #
好几个月，无人问津 And during several months, nobody was interested by it.
人们认为《悲惨世界》跟音乐剧不相干 Nobody. They thought Les Miserables as a musical was irrelevant,
音乐剧在法国行不通 that musicals were not working in France.
几经坚持，1980年9月，鲍勃利和勋伯格终于让 After much persistence, in September 1980, Boublil and Schonberg finally managed
新剧在巴黎破土而出 to get their new French musical off the ground in Paris.
悲惨世界诞生了 And Les Miserables was born.
# La journee est finie 14 heures a la peine

# Que l'on sert en silence... #
法国人从未真正接受过音乐剧 The French have never really embraced musicals and indeed,
1980年上演《悲惨世界》时 when they premiered Les Mis in 1980
是作为舞台演出 as an arena stage production,
还算成功，并发行了专辑，但昙花一现 it was a success and an album but it didn't have a long life.
完全销声匿迹 It completely vanished.

我演过音乐剧叫《禁忌年代》，是乔治男孩的 I have been in one musical before called Taboo, which is Boy George's musical.
2002年初，我结束了演出，8年半前了 I finished in Taboo early in 2002, so eight-and-a-half years ago,
后来就不大唱歌了 and I haven't really done much singing since,
除了在流星喜剧小组 apart from Shooting Stars.
“烤土豆改变了我的生活” # Baked potato changed my life
“烤土豆给我指路” # Baked potato showed me the way... #
我最喜欢“烤土豆之歌” One of the songs that I'm most fond of is the Baked Potato Song.
烤——土——豆—— # B-A-K-E-D P-O-T-A-T-O
“烤土豆~！” # Baked potato! #
欢呼声和掌声 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
嘿！烤土豆！ Yeah! Baked potato!
我也面对众多观众表演过，但都不是歌手 I have performed in front of large audiences before, but never under the pretence of being a singer.
是丑角 More of being a comedian.
所以我非常紧张 So I'm pretty nervous.
1982年10月，我刚在百老汇公演了《猫》 It was in October 1982, just after I'd opened Cats on Broadway,
一位匈牙利导演，皮特.F and a Hungarian director, Peter Farago,
走进我办公室说“我想跟你谈谈悲惨世界” walked into my office and said to me, "Look, I'd like to talk to you about Les Miserables.
“我有张概念唱片，法语的，是这戏在巴黎的演出” "I've got a concept album,a French concept album, of the show that was done in Paris
“1980年的，我很想让你看看” "in 1980, and I'd be really interested for you to look at it."
我放了一首...第二首，第三首震撼了我 And I put it on, and by the opening... I was tingling, by the second and third track.
简直是与众不同 There was just something extraordinary about it.
# La misere enfante la detresse
# Bien des vices et toutes les faiblesses... #
伦敦来电，是个叫C.麦金托什的人打来的 Suddenly we had a phone call from London that a guy called Cameron Mackintosh,
他制作了《奥利弗》和《猫》，想见我们 who had been producing Oliver! and Cats wanted to meet us.
我说想重新打造这戏，带他们全程参与 I said I wanted to rebuild it with them and take them on a journey
找到合作者，把它变成合适的音乐剧 and find the collaborators that could actually turn it into
没读过原著的人也能理解 a proper musical that anyone who'd never read Les Miserables would be able to understand.
为了找人创作新剧，C.麦金托什求助 To find the people who would create the new Les Mis, Cameron Mackintosh turned to
信任的合作者，他刚把19世纪故事搬上舞台—崔佛.纳恩导演 a trusted collaborator who'd recently staged another 19th-century tale - the director Trevor Nunn.
我不仅和崔佛合作过《猫》 Not only had I worked with Trevor on Cats, but in the meantime I had
还看过《尼古拉斯.尼克勒贝》，很棒的作品 obviously seen Nicholas Nickleby, which was a brilliant piece.
大伙儿说 Of course, people said,
你可不能做个剧，有悲惨俩字 "You can't possibly do a musical with "miserable" in the title.
没有这种事！ "There is no such thing!
你说什么啊？ "What are you saying?!
你让人花钱，来个悲惨体验啊 "You're asking everybody to pay their money and come and have a miserable experience.
绝对不行，不能这么着 "It's intolerable, you can't do that."
《悲惨世界》作为剧本 On the face of it, Les Miserables is
很糟 a very bad idea as the book of a musical.
就说题目，《悲惨世界》，听着就吓人 Just the title alone, Les Miserables - it sounds awful, doesn't it?
这是本巨著，足有1500页，还是法文的 And it's huge. It's 1,500 pages long. And it's in French.
英语歌词交给了诗人J.芬顿，但团队 New words in English were written by the acclaimed poet James Fenton, but in time,
认识到，还要再来个人写歌词 the team realised that someone more steeped in song lyrics was required
完成这巨无霸任务 for this Herculean task.
正好有人合适，他还为另一个法国人写过电视 Fortunately, there was just the man for the job. His credits included writing the words of a TV theme tune
主题曲并轰动了全球 for another Frenchman that went on to become a worldwide hit.

85年1月，我加盟《悲惨世界》剧组 When I was brought in to Les Miserables in January '85,
当时已经做了大量工作 a lot of work had already been done on it.
在我公寓里，苦干了六个月 For six months, we laboured in my flat in Basil Street.
忙得跟狗似的 We were working like dogs.
首演之前，一直在重构和重写剧本 Because we have been reshaping and rewriting the show until the previews.
我总觉得，会让合作伙伴和朋友们失望了 I felt very often that I was going to have to disappoint my collaborators and friends
因为工作还没完成 because the work had not been done in that time.
8月1日，演员都来了，才拿到第一幕 The cast was only handed the first act when they gathered together on August 1st.
一些关键歌曲还没写 Some of the key songs had not yet been written.
比如“带他回家”，到排练时，还没构思呢 A song like Bring Him Home had not even been conceived when rehearsals began.
演员的头个挑战，就是找主角，冉阿让 When it came to casting the show, the first challenge was to find the star role, Jean Valjean.
导演想找个身高力大，西区嗓子最好的 The directors needed someone with stature, stamina and the best voice in the West End.
寇尔姆.威尔金森闯进视线 Colm Wilkinson suddenly came into the frame.
他有种超脱尘俗感觉，他有生活经验 There was something otherworldly about him, there was a life experience in him.
“当那种感觉击中我” # When the feeling hit me
“我不得不继续前行” # Yet I had to move along
“你说你是对的，我想” # You said, "You were right, I guess
“你必须唱你的歌” # "You must sing your song"
“有人为某事而生” # And a man is born to do one thing
“而我为唱歌而生” # And I was born to sing... #
T.纳恩说，“要这么个人，长得像囚犯” Trevor Nunn said, "We need a guy who looks like a convict,
“肩膀扛得起人，唱起来像天使” "can carry a guy on his shoulders and sing like an angel,"
“就是寇尔姆.W！” and he says, "That's Colm Wilkinson!"
他来看我们，在新伦敦，猫剧舞台 And he came to see us at the New London, where the Cats set was,
他挑这些歌曲时，我们知道，找到冉阿让了 and moment he picked up these songs, we knew we'd found our Jean Valjean.
“以眼还眼” # Take an eye for an eye
“心如石坚” # Turn your heart into stone
“这是我活着的根本” # This is all I have lived for
“这是我知道的一切” # This is all I have known... #
“心中充满爱情” # A heart full of love... #
我听朋友说过迈克尔.波尔，就赶到曼彻斯特 I'd heard about Michael Ball from friends, and I trotted up to Manchester,
看他演《潘赞斯海盗》，跟邦妮.L对手戏 to the Opera House, to see him play Frederick in a tour of Pirates Of Penzance, opposite Bonnie Langford.
我们去看了日场，结束时，我去找他 We went to a matinee, and at the end of the matinee, I went back to meet him.
“你一定得来，演马吕斯” I said, "You've got to come and play Marius."
排练第一天，崔佛问大家是否 The first day of rehearsal, Trevor asked if everybody had
看过书，大家都举手 read the book, and everybody put their hands up,
除了我。我坐在迈克尔.B旁 except for me. I was sitting next to Michael Ball.
他举起手，他当时好亮眼 He put his hand up. And he was gorgeous, as well.
那时他非常亮眼，迈克尔你现在也一样 He was so gorgeous in those days, and Michael, you still are gorgeous,
他绝对英俊，笑起来俩酒窝 but he was absolutely so handsome, giggly, little dimples.
戏剧学校毕业时，我有两个愿望 I'd had two ambitions when I left drama school. I wanted to
在RSC工作，演《加冕街》 work for the RSC, I wanted to be in Coronation Street.
在曼彻斯特演海盗时，我参演了两集《加冕街》，成功了 While I was doing Pirates in Manchester, I got two episodes of Coronation Street. Result!
两周后，我试唱并进入RSC的《悲惨世界》 Two weeks later, I'd got my audition and got into Les Mis at the RSC.
说起这事，我就激动不已 So as far as I'm concerned, I was thrilled.
我从没演过大型音乐剧 I'd never done a big musical before.
我演过RSC的波比，几年前 I'd done Poppy at the RSC a couple of years before,
还演过保留剧目《吻我，凯特》 I'd done Kiss Me, Kate in rep,
需要音乐和唱歌的很多，但没演过这种大型音乐剧 I'd a lot of shows that required music and singing, but I'd never done a big musical like this before.
第一个星期是即兴表演和游戏 The first week was generally improvisation and games.
演卡通人物 We had to be cartoon characters.
我演了啄木鸟伍迪，不知道对角色有什么影响！ I played Woody Woodpecker, so I don't quite know what effect that had on my character!
排练开始，第一场快写完了 When we got into rehearsal, the first act was pretty much written,
还有两三首重要歌没写 except there were two or three major songs that hadn't been written.
“我独自”“繁星”没写，没人知晓 On My Own hadn't been written, Stars hadn't been written, but we didn't even know
还有首“繁星”，但第二幕几乎没写 we are going to have a song called Stars at that point. But the second act was almost entirely unwritten.
只是打了草稿 It was really only sketched.
排演到第三个星期，才写第二幕 And the second act was written in the first three weeks of rehearsal.
大家知道，我们正在做非常特别的事 Everybody knew that it was something very special that we were doing.
完全不同寻常 We knew that there was something there that was totally unusual.
一年努力后，1985年10月8日 After a year's long slog, on 8th October 1985,
最终公演，在伦敦芭比肯中心 the show finally opened, at London's Barbican Centre.
“一天过完，你又老一天” # At the end of the day, you're another day older
“对穷人生活，能说的就是这” # And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
“是挣扎，是战争” # It's a struggle, it's a war
“没人给你什么” # And there's nothing that anyone's giving
“多一天忍耐，为什么” # One more day standing about, what is it for?
“生命又少一天” # One day less to be living... #
今晚，在伦敦芭比肯中心，庆祝一出新音乐剧开幕 Tonight at London's Barbican Centre, they're already celebrating the opening of an ambitious new musical,
一定会挑起激烈竞争 which seems certain to offer stiff competition
向西区在演的12出音乐剧 to the 12 other musical shows already running in the West End.
琼.贝克威尔在现场 Joan Bakewell is down there,
报道首演夜庆祝，琼 covering the first-night celebrations. Joan.
演出结束一小时了，狂欢现在如火如荼 The performance ended over an hour ago, and the party is now in full swing.
音乐非常简单，曲子让人喜欢 The music is very simple, and full of instantly-likeable tunes.
观众喜欢 The audience loved it.
-好极了 -棒极了 It was tremendous. This is absolutely marvellous.
-看过最棒的 One of the best we've ever seen.
太出色了！ Magnifique!
首演后聚会，在芭比肯中庭那边，我记得 'We had a party afterwards, in the Barbican, in the atrium there, and I can remember
琼.贝克威尔采访我，贝基和弗朗西斯 'myself and Becky and Frances being interviewed by Joan Bakewell.'
我还没上过电视呢！ I'd never been on telly before!
我们都努力发音规范，讲话客观 And all of us trying to be our best received pronunciation, trying to talk sensibly.
这出戏的优点是什么? What do you think are the merits of the piece?
我认为它的美就是独特 I think the beauty of it is that it's so unique.
我觉得没有能与之相比，-我们爱它！ I don't think there's anything you can compare it with. We love it!
第二天一觉醒来，全是差评！ And then we woke up the next morning, and the reviews are awful!
雨果的《悲惨世界》，是令人敬畏的法国小说之一 Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo, is one of those daunting French novels
一般上下两册 that generally comes in two volumes.
我家里有这两册，二十年了，从没读过 I've had them in the house for 20 years and still haven't read them.
现在我才看到人们努力普及这本书 But I've never seen, till now, any of the attempts made to popularise the book.
他们算成功么？-它让我头疼 Well, have they managed it? I mean, it gave me a headache, I have to admit.
他们居然山寨韦伯 I'd have thought that it was impossible to pastiche the music
韦伯自己的音乐剧都全是山寨 of Andrew Lloyd Webber, given that the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber is entirely pastiche.
歌词陈词滥调，歌曲似乎 We are also given an endless sequence of extremely banal lyrics, and songs which seem to be
存心与剧情无关 specifically arranged not to refer to the drama.
这些歌词完全索然无味 What these lyrics actually manage to do is an-all purpose bland-out.
把一切变成了多愁善感的废话 They reduce everything to a kind of sentimental, mawkish gibberish.
首次评论非常糟 The first reviews were very poor.
几乎全是差评，可以预料，因为一般 I mean, almost entirely bad. Rather predictably so, because the average
那时的英国戏剧评论家，和现在很像 drama critic in England then, and pretty much the same now,
他们不喜欢音乐剧 they don't really like musicals very much.
我们读了些报纸 We read in some dailies,
“什么比糟糕音乐剧还糟呢？法国音乐剧！” "What could be worse than a bad musical? A French musical!"
首演后，卡梅隆总是请吃午饭，芭比肯首演后 Cameron used to have a lunch after the opening night, and the lunch of Les Miserables
悲惨世界的午餐，就像出席葬礼 after the opening at the Barbican was like attending a funeral.
大家不开心，非常沮丧 It was joyless, and everybody depressed.
波尔尼.J大人，当时纽约一半剧院都是他的 The great Bernie Jacobs, who owned half the theatres in New York at that time,
进来说，“先生们，它要是都挺尸了，就埋了吧” came and he said, "My advice to you, gentlemen, is, if you've git a stiff, you bury it."
我们想，评论这么糟，就在芭比肯演两个月 We thought that the critics are so bad that we do the run at the Barbican for two months,
因为是芭比肯，这是关键 because it was the Barbican, and that's it.
C.麦金托什只有24小时，决定是否让《悲惨世界》活着，并移到 Cameron Mackintosh had just 24 hours to decide whether to keep Les Mis alive and to transfer it
伦敦西区 into London's West End.
他给王宫剧场付了1100个座位的保证金 He'd already paid a substantial deposit on the 1,100-seat Palace Theatre.
该给芭比肯售票处拨个电话了 It's like trying to get through to the box office at the Barbican.
出乎意料，我拨了好几次，终于 To my surprise, I had to make several attempts, and eventually
拨通了，我问，“怎么回事？” I got through, and the box-office man... I said, "What's been happening?"
他说：“真没想到” He said, "It's extraordinary.
“我们不明白” "We can't understand it.
“已经卖了5000张了” "We've sold 5,000 tickets already.
“从来没有今天这样抢票的” "We've never had a rush for tickets in the way that this has happened.
“无法解释” "And we can't explain it."
顶着乱局，1985年12月，《悲惨世界》在王宫剧场公演 Against all the odds, in December 1985, Les Miserables opened at the Palace.
不久大卖，自此，西区票子一直售空 It soon became a massive hit, and has been selling out in the West End ever since.
很难只看票房，就知道 It was very hard, other than looking at the box-office figures,
有多大的成功 to work out what your indictor of success might be.
我们看，剧场外的黄牛！ And in our case, they were the ticket touts who arrived outside your theatre!
有个毛病，黄牛都犯，读不出名字 The one problem they had, that everybody had, they couldn't pronounce it.
有次，一个特别魁梧的家伙 I remember one day a particularly large, burly guy,
演猫时 who I'd seen outside Cats
我看见他好几次 many times before, walked along, going,
喊“悲催时间！来张票看悲催时间！” "Lesbian Rebels! Lesbian Rebels! Get your tickets for Lesbian Rebels!"
我还纠正他来着，最后我说“你爱叫啥叫啥吧，挺好！” I found myself correcting him. After all, I said, "Call it what you like, it's fine!"
嗨 Hello there.
02舞台去吗？谢谢 Can I go to the O2, please? Thanks.
今天是我的第一次排练，为两场《悲惨世界》音乐会 Today, I'm going for my very first rehearsal for these two Les Miserables concerts.
今天周六，演出在下周日。我练了几天唱歌，我 It's Saturday and the show's on next Sunday. I did do a couple of days of singing rehearsal, and I had
和演德纳第太太的詹妮.G，演冉阿让的艾尔菲.B聊过话 one session with Jenny Galloway, who plays Madame Thenardier, and Alfie Boe, who's playing Jean Valjean.
还没和他们排练，我有点怕詹妮 I haven't had much of a chance to rehearse properly with them. I'm a bit in awe of Jenny.
她每次演的都不一样，以此闻名 She's sort of famous for never having done the same performance twice.
见她时，她特别安静，话不多 When I met her, she was very quiet and very reserved,
在排练间，她很安静 and apparently in the rehearsal room, she can be quite quiet,
但上台，就闹翻天 but then when she gets out on that stage, all hell breaks lose!
非常感谢...多少钱 Thank you very much. What's the damage?
马特的第一次排练由两位导演詹姆斯.B和 Matt's first rehearsal is being run by co-directors James Powell and
劳. C主持，他们先前演过这部戏 Laurence Connor, both of whom have previously performed in the show.
酒店店主，吸引你视线 # Master of the house,quick to catch your eye... #
唱这支歌需要很大耐力和气息 'You need quite a lot of stamina and quite a lot of breath to sing this song.
字特别多，我总把词混在一起 'And it's very wordy, and I'm always getting the words mixed up.'
所有人的好伙伴，什么都送到面前 # Everybody's boon companion, gives 'em everything he's got
一群脏老头 # Dirty bunch of geezers
天啊，真是晦气 # Jesus, what a sorry little lot! #
德纳第两口子，是这戏的喜剧因素 'Monsieur and Madame Thenardier are the comic relief of the show.
必不可少，因为 'Much needed, I have to say, because...'
这戏很压抑 Phew! Oh, it's depressing!
非常凄惨 Oh, it's bleak!
这两口子出来，让人缓口气 'I think you're quite grateful when they come on.'
-都顺利吗？ -自己看！我会看的 What's going on? Going all right? Look! I'll have a look.
这帮酒鬼，这群色痨 # My band of soaks, my den of dissolutes... #
马特毫无章法演出，我觉得挺有意思 Well, Matt's got this great anarchy, which I find really interesting.
有点大摇大摆的醉鬼 Bit of a drunken swagger here.
他演的完全不同，但他是马特.L And he has a completely different take on it. And he's Matt Lucas,
我们就想看点不同 we wanted to see a little bit of that.
小女孩走进来，被人追着... Little girl walks in, pursued by...
我发现她在树林里游荡，非常好... I found her wandering in the woods, very good...
今天，马特要创造他的德纳蒂角色，排练交易 Today, Matt needs to create his version of Thenardier, and to rehearse the bargain scene, in which
他和贪心的太太要冉阿让拿钱换孤儿珂赛特 he and his greedy wife take money from Jean Valjean in exchange for giving away the orphan, Cosette.
“这是我闺女”，你知道我意思是想...？ "This is my girl." Do you know what I mean? To really try and...
脸对着...对了... Face in to... Yeah...
我必须和她绑起来，拿钱才合理 I've got to link myself with her in order to justify getting all this money.
盛宴的乞丐，舞会的王 # Beggar at the feast, master of the dance
手疾眼快，顺手牵羊 # Life is easy pickings if you grabs your chance
随便去哪儿，守法同乡 # Everywhere you go, law-abiding folk
做事体面，但口袋光光 # Doing what is decent, but they're mostly broke... #
这部戏，每首歌都有唤醒人的上升旋律 'What I think this musical really has... Every song has a soaring, rousing melody,'
最欢快，抓人的曲子 the most delightful, catchy tunes.
歌词感人，又不多愁善感 They lyrics are emotive without being sentimental,
聪明，诙谐，又不会出戏 and intelligent and witty, but without taking you out of the show.
过去25年，没有音乐剧可以超过它 I really don't think any musical has come along in the last 25 years to topple it.
“我梦见过往的时光” # I dreamed a dream in time gone by
“那时，希望高扬，生活有指望” # When hope was high and life worth living... #
我写这首歌的法语歌词 I wrote it, of course, for French lyrics,
开头用了 and we used for the start of the song
雨果的原话 what Victor Hugo had written in his book, "J'avais reve de notre vie."
那时我还年轻，无所畏惧 # Then I was young and unafraid
美梦虚掷 # And dreams were made and used and wasted
还没有报应 # There was no ransom to be paid
无歌不唱，无酒不尝 # No song unsung, no wine untasted... #
可悲的是，这首歌不是老人 The tragic thing is, it's not a song sung by an old person
在唱年轻时的梦想 about the dreams of their youth.
是很年轻的人所唱 It's sung by a very young person,
唱生命如此匆匆 about the fact that her life is over all too soon.
他睡在我身边，整个夏天 # He slept a summer by my side
他让我生活充实，惊喜无边 # He filled my days with endless wonder
他大步流星，带走我童年 # He took my childhood in his stride
但是他离去，秋也来临 # But he was gone when autumn came... #
带他回家 # Bring him home
带他回家。。。 # Bring him home... #
我们要克.M We asked Claude-Michel
去给冉阿让写首歌，其实是给寇尔姆.W写首歌 to go away and write a song for Jean Valjean. More specifically, to write a song for Colm Wilkinson.
要是主赐我个儿子 # If God had granted me a son
夏日逝去，一次又一次 # The summers die one by one
他们稍纵即逝 # How soon they fly on and on
我也年老，将会离世。。。 # And I am old and will be gone... #
我听了演奏的曲子，配上赫伯.K的歌词 'When I heard it being played, and then I heard Herb Kretzmer's lyrics to it,'
真美 it just was beautiful.
赐他快乐 # Bring him joy
他还年轻 # He is young
他还只是个孩子 # He is a only a boy... #
这首歌叫“祈祷” In the score, it's called the prayer.
那一刻，我认真在祈祷 It's a moment for me to really seriously pray on my own.
一旦有了这个态度，真心感觉 And once you get that attitude, that feeling inside your body that
在祈祷，歌曲就会打动你 you are praying, then the song really does carry you.
让他活吧 # Let him live
如果我将死，让我死吧 # If I die, let me die
让他活下去。。。 # Let him live... #
这首歌高潮是 The big moment in the song is
最后一句 the last line...
带他回家 # Bring him home... #
谁都能唱到，还能拉长音，按调唱完这句，你试试 We can all hit it for a little bit. Even quite long. Hit it to the end of the phrase.Try it.
带他回家 # Bring him home... #
他一口气唱完 And he was doing it without breathing!
他就 He'd go...
“带他回家” # Bring him home... #
你怎么做到的？！ You're going, "How can you do that?!"
掌声 APPLAUSE
要是不走运，音乐会上唱这首，我就 When I've had the misfortune of doing it in concert, you go...
带他回。。 # Bring him ho... #
翻时简直被球叔笑死！ VOICE FADES OUT
家！！ # ..ome! #
假装麦克风问题。太响，麦克风有点...蒙混过关！ Make it look like the mic's got you, "They're too loud! The mic's a little bit..." And you cheat it!
只能这样我才行！ It's the only way I can do it!
待明天 # One day more
“明天我们就要天各一方” # Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
“然而，有你，我的世界才刚刚开启” # And yet, with you my world has started... #
没有音乐剧的哪一场，比《待明天》结尾 I cannot think of a more rousing end to an act in any musical ever
更感人 than One Day More.
明日他依旧毫不在意 # One more day with him not caring
我注定要与你在一起！ # I was born to be with you
我本该拥有怎样的人生 # What a life I might have known
我发誓为你永守忠诚 # And I swear I will be true... #
这就是音乐中的混音 It's what's know in music as a quodlibet, which is
混合不同音 all the different tunes being brought together
一种不同和声音调的大杂烩 in a great sort of cauldron of different contrapuntal tunes.
待明天，暴风雨就要来临 # One more day before the storm
筑起街垒，争取自由 # At the barricades of freedom... #
全体阵容都在台上 The entire company's on stage -
人人在唱自己的困境，恐惧，希望，需要 everybody is singing about their own predicament, their own fears, their own hopes, their own needs.
时间到了，就是今天 # The time is now, the day is here
待明天 # One day more
明天要革命兴起，把它扼杀在萌芽 # One more day to revolution, we will nip it in the bud
我要加入这些小学生 # I will join these little schoolboys
叫他们尝尝血的味道 # They will wet themselves with blood
看他们残杀。等他们倒下 # Watch 'em run amuck, catch 'em as they fall... #
人人觉得自己唱段最好 'Everyone thinks their part is the best.
我觉得马吕斯的最好，因为最后。。 'But I think Marius is, because he has that final...'
我的位置在这儿，和你并肩战斗！ # My place is here, I fight with you! #
我的位置在这儿，和你战斗在一起！ # My place is here, I fight with you... #
待明天，我会死去 # One day more, I did not live... #
我真是爱每词每句 And I just love it to bits.
明天就会揭晓，天意如何安排 # Tomorrow we'll discover what our God in Heaven has in store
只待黎明 # One more dawn
只待明天 # One more day
待明天！ # One day more! #
掌声 APPLAUSE
很多帽子 You've got lots of hats -
饰演角色的演员不同，头大小也不同 you've had different actors with different-sized heads playing this role.
-那我要戴别人戴过的啦？-对 So, am I going to be wearing a hat worn already by somebody? Yeah.
谁戴过这帽子？ Who wore this hat?
在试衣间，我碰到了翠西， 最初她就在这里工作 'At the costume fitting, I met Tracy, who had worked on the show since its inception.
我检查人们穿过的服装 'I looked through some of the costumes that people have worn,
很想知道穿上的样子 'and I got very excited at the prospect of wearing
阿伦.A的帽子，他是最初的德纳第 'Alun Armstrong's hat, because he was the original Thenardier.'
-好了 -搭扣在后边 All right. The buckle goes at the back.
-不，另一边。-转过去？这样？大小正好 No, the other way. The other way round? Like that? And it fits!
下边有假发 There's got to be a wig underneath.
我是演员中头最小的 So, I've got one of the smallest heads in show business.
维斯.R头最大，还有罗瑞.B Vic Reeves probably has the biggest head, along with Rory Bremner。
这些都要知道 These are the things you learn.
阿伦.A So, Alun Armstrong, we know, had...
-他头不小 -他当然是小头，好悲惨 He doesn't have a small head - he certainly had a small head. So there's a Les Mis fact for you.
怎么样？这儿有多少件服装 How about that? Now, how many items of clothing are there
给悲惨世界，估算下？ in the production of Les Miserables, roughly?
-500多件 -500多？ It's over 500. Over 500?
不包括替补演员，这些也要保管好 Not including all the understudy stuff, which we have to keep as well.
我会把角色演活，但服装化妆 For me, the character comes alive when I'm actually performing it, but a big part of it is
是重要部分，所以运行正常很重要 the costume and make-up, so it's really important to get these things right.
穿上衣服，戴上假发和帽子就有意思了 'It was fun to put the costume on, and the hair, as well, with the hat.'
看看 Here we go.
很滑稽，我喜欢演滑稽人物 'It looks pretty grotesque, which is something I always enjoy playing, grotesque.'
不错，喜欢。你要拍照片吗？ Brilliant. Love it. Do you need to take pictures?
放照簿里，我们有两本不同的照簿 They're for my album. We've got two different albums.
英国成功剧目 Another British success has
跨过了大西洋，受到热情欢迎 crossed the Atlantic to a rapturous reception.
是皇家莎士比亚的（RSC) This time it was the Royal Shakespeare Company's
史诗音乐剧《悲惨世界》 epic musical Les Miserables,
在伦敦西区，已获得巨大成功 which has already been a smash hit in London's West End.
百老汇也习惯英国成功了 Broadway is used to British success.
《猫》是数年间最成功的，《我和我的姑娘》也是，谢谢你们 Cats has been the greatest hit for years, Me And My Girl is doing quite nicely, thank you,
而如今《悲惨世界》 and now, Les Miserables.
请进吧，别堵住门，伙计们 Right in, please. Don't block the doors, folks.
昨晚首演，如果评论客观 Last night it opened, and if the critics are anything
还会演很长时间呢 to go by, it will stay open for some considerable time.
它成了纽约最卖座的戏 It became the biggest box-office ticket sale in New York.
受到纽约评论家的称赞 It was absolutely lauded by every critic in New York.
我在百老汇最后一晚，票卖到了2500美金一张 My last night on Broadway, they were selling tickets for $2,500.
我说：“老天，干吗不告诉我！” I said, "Why didn't you tell me, for Christ's sake?
“我该拿几张票，到外边自己卖去！” "I would have got a few and went out and sold them myself!"
随着百老汇亮相，一年内，《悲惨世界》在一些国家 With the Broadway show up and running, in just a year Les Mis was also launched in a handful of
上演，包括日本，一直演到今天 other countries, including Japan, where it plays to this day.
一月初，日本人找我说 “我们想” The Japanese came to me very shortly after in January and said, "We want to open it
“来年的6月份公演”这也太快了 "in June of the following year," which is incredibly fast
对日本人而言的确太快 for the Japanese, I mean literally,
我说，不等等，看百老汇形势吗？ I said, "Don't you want to wait and see how it goes on Broadway?,"
他们说：“我们不在乎百老汇形势” and they went, "We don't care what happens to Broadway."
我遇见日语翻译 I met the Japanese translator,
他说英文一个字翻成日文要三个字 and he said it takes three words to equal one word in the English version.
逐字译，戏长就要9个小时 If he was to translate every single word, it would be a nine-hour show.
我说，无畏的日本人也 I said, "Well, even the hardy Japanese would
发现难办了 "find that difficult going."
然后挪威来了 Then Norway came.
挪威国家剧院说，我们想上演，我问，在哪？ The National Theatre in Norway said, "We'd like to put it on." I said, "Where?"
"国家剧院"，他们停业 "In the National Theatre." They closed down the National Theatre in Norway
复制了这出戏，连演15个月 and ran for 15 months with a reproduction of our show.
我们演出，挪威全国15%的人来看，闻所未闻 We put it on there. It played to 15% of the entire population of Norway, which is unheard of!
他们唯一不喜欢的，是觉得要加点易卜生 And the only reason they took it off is because they felt they had to put some Ibsen back on!
挪威语唱歌 HE SINGS IN NORWEGIAN
打动我的是，这出戏在全球引起共鸣 What had struck me about the show is how it evokes these identical responses all around the world.
即便我听不懂，即便听到 Even if I don't understand the language, even if I'm hearing it
瑞典语或日语，仍能感受到观众情绪 in Swedish or Japanese, there are points in the show where you feel the emotion of the audience.
啊，我的朋友们，我的朋友们，原谅我 # Oh, my friends, my friends, forgive me
我还活着，而你们已经故去 # That I live and you are gone
有一种悲伤，无法言语 # There's a grief that can't be spoken
有一种痛苦，反复不息 # There's a pain, goes on and on... #
马吕斯唱“空椅空桌”时，回到ABC咖啡馆，在这 When we see Marius sing Empty Chairs At Empty Tables, he's returned to the ABC Cafe, where he used to meet
跟朋友会面，所有学生，相信能使世界更美好 with his friends, all the other students, who believed they could make the world better.
但这一次，他回来，发现自己形单影只 But this time, he's gone back and he finds himself alone, of course,
因为朋友们为理想献身了 because his friends have died, fighting for what they believe in.
哦，我的朋友们，我的朋友们 # Oh, my friends, my friends
别问我，你们为何献身离去 # Don't ask me what your sacrifice was for
空椅对空桌 # Empty chairs and empty tables
而我朋友们的歌声，将不再 # Now my friends will sing
响起 # No more. #
非常感人的歌 'It's an incredibly emotional song.
在这，马吕斯成为男人，丧失了理想主义，意识到 'It's where Marius becomes a man, where he loses his idealism, where he realises that the price that
为信念而战的代价巨大 'one pays fighting for what you believe in is enormous.'
掌声 APPLAUSE
6天后的02舞台的活动，多达400名 The O2 arena events in six days' time will involve no fewer than
《悲惨世界》新老演员参加 400 Les Mis performers past and present,
是有史以来最大制作 the largest-ever production of the show.
今天，大家排练第一幕开场，并欢迎新人 Today, they have been called to rehearse the start of Act I, and to greet a newcomer to their ranks.
吉玛，马特，劳拉，很高兴认识你 I'm Gemma. Hi, I'm Matt. I'm Laura. Nice to meet you. Matt.
马特， 嗨，你好吗？克勒 Hello, you all right? Kyle.
嗨 Hi.
我有点紧张 Yeah. Yeah, I'm a bit nervous.
著名男高音艾尔菲.B，出演主角冉阿让 The star role of Jean Valjean will be sung on Sunday at the O2 by the celebrated tenor Alfie Boe.
我很难见到艾尔菲这样重量级人物， Someone like me would never normally get to meet, let alone perform with,
更别说一起演出，昨天他邀我去看他的戏 someone of the magnitude of Alfie Boe. Yesterday, he invited me to come to one of his shows,
我问“在哪？”他说“在阿尔波尔特大厅” and I said, "Of course," and I said, "Where is it?," and he said, "Oh, it's at the Albert Hall."
我问“哇，跟谁唱？”他说“何塞.C和基莉·T·K” I said, "Wow, who are you singing with?" He said, "Jose Carreras and Kiri Te Kanawa."
和高手共同演出，太兴奋了 So it's pretty amazing to think that I'll be working with the genuine article.
散开 And wipe.
大地安宁，我感到风 # The earth is still, I feel the wind
我再度呼吸 # I breathe again... #
行了，好。 OK. That's good.
马特刚才对我说 Matt, a while back, said to me,
我不会唱，没嗓子 "I can't sing, I don't have a voice.
这就是我演的人物 "It's just characters that I do."
但是我相信，他过去和现在 But I was convinced that he had an ability to sing,
都有唱歌能力 that he has an ability to sing, by the way
他演角色，用不同嗓音 he does his characters, all the different voices he puts on.
能听出，他控制重音音调 'You can hear it in those accents that he can hold a tune.'
一天过完，人又老一天 # At the end of the day, you're another day older
对穷人区别就是这 # And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
生活是挣扎，是打仗 # It's a struggle, it's a war
没人白给什么 # And there's nothing that anyone's giving
又要忍受一天，活着为了什么 # One more day standing about, what is it for?
又少一天要活 # One day less to be living... #
伙计们，抱歉，我给你们提下歌词，好吗？ Guys, sorry, I'm going to pick on you on the text here, OK?
现在，还没涉及到背景 At the moment, we're not really giving a story here。
一天过完，明天更严寒 "At the end of the day, you're another day colder,
对穷人的区别就是这个 "and that's all you can say for the life of the poor."
是什么？“这是挣扎，是打仗，没人白给什么” What is it? "It's a struggle, it's a war, and there's nothing that those BLEEP are giving." Yeah?
要吃透歌词，歌词是一切，再来一次 Really bite into the text. The text is everything. One more time.
一天过完，又一天黎明 # At the end of the day, there's another day dawning
朝阳正待初升 # And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
就像波浪撞碎在沙滩 # Like the waves crash on the sand
像风暴随时来临 # Like a storm that'll break any second
大地上还有人挨饿 # There's a hunger in the land
总有那报应的一天 # There's going to be hell to pay
一天过完 # At the end of the day! #
了不起，好多了，伙计们 Split! Good. Much better, guys.
随着排练的继续，C·麦金托什邀请马特 As rehearsals continue, Cameron Mackintosh has invited Matt for
参观正在建造的巨大布景 a sneak preview of the enormous set being built in the arena.
谢谢让我参演，太兴奋了 Thank you for letting me be in your show. I'm so thrilled.
看这儿，哦，不！ Look at this. Oh, no!
看，哦，老天！-要给多少人演？ I mean, look. Oh, my word! How many are we going to be playing to?
最后数字我听说是1.65万人，这样构造 The last figure I heard was about 16,500, in this configuration.
-视线还这么好 -想方设法什么都卖出去了 But it's amazing how good the sightlines are. We've managed to sell absolutely everything.
-连午场都卖出去了，加演的，只剩下几百个座位 Even the matinee, which is the extra show we put on, has now only got a few hundred seats left.
周日要塞满了，这出戏预算多少？ So it'll be packed by Sunday. What was the budget for this show?
周日演两场，原因之一是 One of the reasons we're doing two shows on the Sunday is that
演一天要花200万镑 I knew it would cost about ? million to stage this one day. Really?
演完第一场，能收130万英镑 When the first one sold out, we could take about 1.3 on the first concert.
只好再演一场 So we knew we had to do a second.
很幸运，保本有余，真是松一口气 Luckily, we're going to more than break even, which is a great relief!
-《悲惨世界》下一步是什么？ -下一步 What's next for Les Miserables? The next big adventure is that
-我终于签了个电影合同 -真的？有趣的新闻 I've just signed a contract to make the movie, at long last. Really?! This is very interesting news!
-还没有正式电影名 -恭喜 Which I'm doing with Working Title. Congratulations.
剧本作家周末要看演出 The author of the screenplay will be watching one of the performances this weekend.
希望未来一两年，可以拍成电影 So we hope, within the next year or two, that will finally happen.

有趣的是，人们不相信 The funny thing is, there's this belief that
戏演了25年，成功却来自达人秀 the show's been running for 25 years but there's never been a hit from it.
但的确如此，一首“我曾梦想” But there has now, with I Dreamed A Dream.
我曾有梦，过去时光 # I dreamed a dream in time gone by
希望高扬，生活有指望 # When hope was high and life worth living... #
没想到吧？没想到！ You didn't expect that today, did you? No!
我梦想爱永不消亡 # I dreamed that love would never die... #
几小时内，几天内，世界各地都在谈论这事 Within hours, within days, people were talking about it everywhere in the world.

很少有人联想到《悲惨世界》，但人们不断谈论 Not many people had connected it with Les Miserables, and the fact that everywhere, they kept saying,
这是《悲惨世界》里的“我曾有梦”，这影响深远 "This is I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables," and that had a profound effect, and indeed

歌手跟乐队合练，之前2个月，都只是一架钢琴伴奏 when the singers are listening to the orchestration, after spending an average of two months with a piano.
我今天是来纠错的，不是来欣赏的 'But of course, I'm here today just to listen to what's wrong and not to what's gorgeous and beautiful.
周日，我再来欣赏 'On Sunday, I will enjoy it.'
今天，我们还要检查哪对哪错 Today, we are still checking what's right and what's wrong.
女士们先生们，欢迎我们的精彩乐队，和演员 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our marvellous orchestra and our marvellous cast.
今天值得纪念，还有个原因 Today's historic for yet another reason.
这是这支全新乐队，第一次伴奏 This is the very first time this new orchestration has ever been sung.
所以希望大家开心 So I want you all to have a fantastic time.

25年来，《悲惨世界》吸引了全世界观众 For 25 years, Les Miserables has been mesmerising audiences around the world.
现在，除了02舞台，还在8个城市演出 Now, with a capacity audience at the O2, and with the show still playing in eight different cities,
一部几乎夭折的音乐剧，为何走得这么远 one might wonder how a musical that so nearly never happened has come so far.
人间困苦尝遍 # For the wretched of the earth
未泯灭一线希望 # There is a flame that never dies... #
戏里内容超出了生命本身，以同样方法 感动各地的人们 Something about that show is larger than life, touching people everywhere in the same way.
25年前，我预言《悲惨世界》会连演三十年 Oddly enough, I predicted 25 years ago that Les Miserables would run for 30 years!
瞧我对吧！ Let's see if I'm right!
它打破常规，我认为它会继续如此 It broke the mould, and I think it continues to do so.
戏里每句话对每位观众都有相关含义 It's always got something relevant to say to every audience.
只要人们还热爱这个音乐剧，只要故事 As long as people continue to love the music and as long as that story has
引起人们共鸣，他们就会想来看它 a resonance for people, they're going to want to go on seeing it.
我的这部戏，只要有人来看，会永远演下去 It will be the one show of mine that will be done for evermore as long as anyone goes to the theatre.

坚定站在我身旁？ # Who will be strong and stand with me?

听远处战鼓声声响 # Say, do you hear the distant drums?

且看明日曙光 # When tomorrow comes
明日曙光！ # Tomorrow comes! #
