Dance Of Death
死亡之舞
At the age of 21, Patrick Bissell burst upon New York as principal dancer of the American Ballet Theatre. Rarely had a man so young dazzled so many in the supercharged, intensely competitive world of ballet. He was praised, in the words of Mikhail Baryshnikov, as "one of the brightest lights in the entire ballet world."
21歲那年，帕特里克·比斯爾突然在紐約名聲大噪，成為美國芭蕾舞劇院的領銜舞蹈演員。很少有人在他這樣的年紀便在競爭極其激烈的芭蕾舞界征服如此多的觀眾。米凱亞·巴瑞辛尼科夫稱贊他是“整個芭蕾舞界最耀眼的舞蹈明星之一”。
Patrick Bissell also helped bury the American myth that ballet is for sissies. At six feet, two inches tall, Patrick was a tough, hard-drinking kid from Texas with a passion for motorcycles, cowboy boots and women. He was a muscle man who could twirl ballerinas into the air and make them look as graceful as butterflies.
帕特里克·比斯爾也打破了跳芭蕾舞的男子都女里女氣的美國式謬論。帕特里克來自得克薩斯州，身高6英尺2英寸，是一個強壯的青年，能喝酒，酷愛摩托車、牛仔靴和女人。他肌肉發達，能將芭蕾舞女演員旋轉著拋向空中，使她們像彩蝶一般婀娜多姿。
Seven months after his birth in 1957, baby Bissell was not walking, according to his mother; he was actually running. When Patrick was ten, his sister bribed him with her allowance to come to her dance class, because she needed a partner. His natural gifts of coordination and stamina were stunning, and from that point on, his destiny was dance.
據比斯爾的母親講述，1957年，在出生后僅7個月的時候，嬰兒比斯爾不是在走，實際上已經會跑了。他10歲那年，姐姐用零花錢哄他陪自己去舞蹈班學習，因為她需要個舞伴。他那與生倶來的協調力與耐力令人驚訝，從那時起，他就與舞蹈結下了不解之緣。
