Michael Joseph Jackson (born 1958) is truly a music legend. He became a superstar at the age of eleven as a member of his family band The Jackson 5. His solo career earned him the title "King of Pop". His studio albums have all become classics. Jackson is equally famous for his high energy and complicated dance techniques such as the Moonwalk. He died in 2009 at the age of 50.
邁克爾·杰克遜（生于1958）是一位音樂傳奇人物。因組建家庭樂隊“杰克遜五兄弟”，11歲的杰克遜一舉成名。因演唱事業(yè)，杰克遜贏得了“流行樂之王”稱號。所發(fā)專輯全部為經(jīng)典之作。超強(qiáng)表演力，太空舞等復(fù)雜舞蹈動作也同樣讓他名聲大噪。2009年，杰克遜去世，享年50歲。
Jackson dominated the music charts throughout the 1970s, 80s and 90s. His distinctive vocal style, rhythm and fashion were perfect for the new music video age. MTV enthusiastically played his videos to the world. His ‘Thriller’ video had all the excitement of a major movie release. Jackson became a true icon of pop culture and influenced dozens of today’s top stars.
70-90年代期間，杰克遜一直統(tǒng)治樂壇。對于新音樂影像時代，獨特的聲線，自然地韻律，自成一家的風(fēng)格恰如其分。MTV電視網(wǎng)將他的MV遠(yuǎn)播世界。《Thriller》也常出現(xiàn)在電影首映禮。他成為了流行文化標(biāo)志，在當(dāng)今時代，杰克遜影響了眾多歌壇大腕。
Jackson’s personal life created significant controversy and earned him a nickname he hated, ‘Wacko Jacko’. He angered many by having plastic surgery and lightening his skin to look white. His reputation was badly damaged in several high-profile child sexual abuse cases in 2003 and 2005. The courts cleared him on both occasions.
杰克遜的私人生活非議不斷，人們給他起了“怪人杰克”綽號，他對此表示反感。對于接受整容手術(shù)，“漂白”皮膚，杰克遜義憤填膺。2003年和2005年，因涉嫌兒童性侵案，杰克遜聲名狼藉。在兩起案件中，法院均判處杰克遜無罪。
His awards and records are proof of the phenomenal success he achieved. He won World Music Award's Best-Selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium, and was the American Music Award's Artist of the Century. ‘Thriller’ remains the best selling album of all time. ‘Vanity Fair’ magazine named him the "Most popular artist in the history of show business". He will be missed by millions.
就所獲獎項和所創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄而言，杰克遜證明了自己的成功。在世界音樂獎上，他獲得“最佳唱片銷量男歌手”獎，在全美音樂獎上，榮獲“世紀(jì)藝術(shù)家”稱號。《Thriller》仍是史上最暢銷專輯。《名利場》雜志評選他為“娛樂圈史上最知名藝人”稱號。數(shù)百萬樂迷將永遠(yuǎn)懷念他。
