前言...

There is no disputing Thierry Henry's character on a football pitch.
沒有人會懷疑 Thierry Henry 在足球場上的風範。

He has won almost everything there is to win as a professional player; the
World Cup, the European Championships, the Champions League, League titles,
cups, the Golden Boot - and with that boot he's scored 359 goals.
拿過作為職業足球員所渴望贏下的許多榮譽;世界盃冠軍、歐洲盃冠軍、歐冠聯賽冠軍、
聯賽冠軍、盃賽冠軍、和金靴獎,且踢進了359顆進球!

'Invincible' some might say.
有人稱讚他是『無懈可擊』。

Despite eight years playing in the Premier League for Arsenal and despite all
those accolades, the person away from the field remains something of a
mystery.
儘管在 Arsenal 踢了八年的英超聯賽以及得到許多的讚譽,但球場之外的他依然令人感到
神秘。

I'd been given unprecedented, behind-the-scenes access to Thierry ahead of
the new MLS season and I had a week to get what I really wanted... the real
Thierry Henry.
在球季開始前,我被得到史無前例、幕後地採訪 Thierry,並且有一週的時間可以盡量去
瞭解真正的 Thierry Henry。

Monday
週一

My producer Anna and I are waiting for Thierry to meet us for a pre-shoot
dinner.
製作人 Anna 和我在晚餐的預拍現場等著 Thierry 現身。

The waiting isn't helping our nerves.
等待令我們感到緊張。

We are both full of expectations, preconceptions and have all sorts of ideas
for the week ahead but we are acutely aware we are in unchartered territory
and this is our first opportunity to get Thierry on-side.
我們彼此都相當期待、想像著未來一週的樣子、以及討論許多想法,但我們深感正處在
一個敏感未獲許可的地帶,而這也是我們第一次在 Thierry 身旁進行貼身採訪。

We eventually say goodnight at midnight and I'm relieved Thierry has chatted
freely off camera about his new life in New York, the MLS, Arsene Wenger and
his beloved Arsenal.
最後在深夜前道聲晚安後,我鬆了一口氣,鏡頭之外的 Thierry 自然地聊起自己在紐約
的新生活、美國足球聯賽、教授、以及他所深愛的球隊 Arsenal。

As I put myself to bed I hope he will be as animated and engaging through the
lens tomorrow.
當我就寢前,希望明天他能在鏡頭下也能如此的有朝氣、以及充滿魅力。

Tuesday
週二

It's an early start at the Red Bull Arena for me, Anna and our cameraman
Duncan. It's media day and the press pack and camera crews are out in force -
all wanting a piece of Thierry.
我、Anna、以及攝影師 Duncan 一早就在 Red Bull 的球場開始採訪。今天是媒體採訪日
,記者們以及攝影師群都在此,無一不是在等著 Thierry 現身。

They get what they came for; Thierry training, Thierry giving interviews,
Thierry signing shirts, it's nothing new but it is, as usual, relentless.
他們得到想要的新聞;Thierry 訓練時一舉一動、Thierry 接受採訪、Thierry 在衣衫簽
名,這些都沒有什麼新奇的,但就如以往那樣的受到歡迎。

When the crowds disperse I'm nervous Thierry will have had his fill of media
duties for the day. I'm wrong. He whisks me off on a whistle-stop tour of the
stadium.
等到群眾都散去後,我本來以為 Thierry 還得繼續接受媒體的訪問。但我錯了,他立即
帶著我到球場做簡單的訪談。

We pause to take in a huge canvas on the wall of him capturing a celebratory
moment in an Arsenal shirt against Tottenham. He reminisces about his
"beloved" Arsenal, this time on camera. We've got what we came for!
談話間,我們注意到牆上掛著一幅大型的帆布,上面是捕捉到他穿著 Arsenal 球衣對上
Tottenham 進球後的慶祝畫面。在鏡頭前,他回憶起所鍾愛的 Arsenal,這正是我們所要
的鏡頭!

On the way back into town Thierry calls unexpectedly, he wants to talk more
and this time he welcomes us into his home to do so.
回到城鎮的途中,Thierry 突然打電話給我們,表示他願意談更多,所以這次他邀請我們
到他家裡去。

His roof-top terrace and the view that comes with it, presumably with a
considerable price tag attached, is stunning. As the sun goes down over the
famous Manhattan skyline we talk about the past, the present and the future.
屋頂上的露天平台、以及接下來房屋的景觀,想必都是相當不便宜的標價,都美得令人瞠
目結舌。隨著夕陽在著名的 曼哈頓天際邊落下,我們聊了過去、現在、以及未來的事。

Despite the chill in the air there is a warmth in his tone and he seems
genuinely happy to be here; both in this interview and in this city.
儘管處於這冷冽的天氣,卻能在他的語調中感受到溫暖。同時他看上去很滿意在這兒的生
活,也享受這次的訪談以及這城市的生活。

週三

Tonight we've been invited to join Thierry at an Elton John concert at
Madison Square Garden. We head backstage.
今晚 Thierry 邀請我們前去位於 麥迪遜花園廣場 的 Elton John 演唱會。我們從後台進去。
Elton John(艾爾頓·強):在1997年為紀念黛安娜王妃而錄製的單曲《風中之燭》為
華人所熟悉。by Wikipedia
可是我只知道他唱過《獅子王》的“Can You Feel the Love Tonight”( ̄▽ ̄#)﹏﹏

Thierry gives Elton a signed New York Red Bulls shirt and later Elton returns
the compliment by paying tribute to Thierry on stage.
Thierry 給了 Elton 一件紐約 Red Bulls 的簽名襯衫,而 Elton 便在臺上稱讚了
Thierry 一番。
提醒一下:Red Bulls 是紅牛隊,也是 Henry 目前所在的職業球隊。

There is a mutual respect that passes between the two. It's nice to see.
看見他們兩人彼此稱讚對方,看了真開心。

Not even Anna my producer tripping over Whoopi Goldberg in the corridor can
mar the moment!
即使我的製作人 Anna 不小心在走廊間絆倒 Whoopi Goldberg 也不至於糟蹋了這一刻。
Whoopi Goldberg(琥碧·戈柏):美國演員,印象中以《修女也瘋狂》聞名。

Thursday
週四

Tonight we're back at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks v The Grizzlies.
今晚我們又回到 麥迪遜花園廣場,參觀尼克隊 v 灰熊隊的比賽。

Thierry is a big basketball fan and has a few very big friends on the team.
Thierry 也是個籃球迷,甚至有一些非常高大的籃球朋友。

It's hard not to be intimidated by Ronny Turiaf, who stands at 7 foot
something and as Thierry points, out has feet the size of my entire body.
Thank you for that TH!
很難不被 Ronny Turiaf 給震撼,他可是七呎高(210公分)的傢伙,且如同 Thierry 所說
的,光是腳長就有我的身高了!
感謝 TH 帶我們來參觀球賽。

Friday
週五

We shoot from dusk till dawn and almost everything else in between. New York
is one giant film set and we want to capture it all on camera.
黃昏的時候開始拍攝到日落,各個場景幾乎都入鏡了。紐約真是個渾然天成的拍攝場景,
我們巴不得全部都拍下來。

We see sunrise over the Statue of Liberty, we are in Central Park, up the
Rockerfeller and the Empire State buildings, on Fifth Avenue, amongst hot dog
sellers on street corners in Greenwich and breathing in the smoke and drama
of Broadway and Times Square.
看見日出從自由女神像旁升起,接著我們在中央公園,在第五大道上有 洛克菲勒中心 和
帝國大廈,在格林威治街道的轉角處,到處都是許多熱狗販售商,也能感受到百老匯戲劇
和時代廣場的氣息。

We even ask a busking piano player in Washington Square Garden to play us his
interpretation of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys Empire State of Mind.
我們甚至在華盛頓廣場花園裡請街頭鋼琴師為我們詮釋一首由 Jay-Z 和 Alicia Keys 合
唱的“Empire State of Mind”。
Jay-Z(知名的繞舌歌手) & Alicia Keys(艾莉西亞·凱斯,知名藍調歌手)

We can't be sure if we'll use it in the programme but we might and that is
enough for us. It's a case of have camera, will film... everything!
雖然不確定是否能在節目中播出,但若是可以我們當然願意播放,而且夠值回票價了。
這一次可以說是紀錄了一切的場景特輯。

Saturday  
週六

This is it. Match-day and our final day in New York with Thierry.
就是今天了,球賽日以及我們最後一天在紐約採訪 Thierry。

When he suggests we travel with him to the game we jump at the chance - and
into his car before he has time to change his mind!
當他提及我們可以跟他一起步入比賽,我們當然不會放過,免得在他坐進車子以後就反悔
了。

Of course the fairytale end to this story is one where Thierry scores and the
Red Bulls win, but it doesn't happen quite like that.
當然,這段美妙的一週需要有個童話般的結局,那就是 Thierry 進球,Red Bulls 也贏
,但事實不如想像的那樣。

What actually happens is Thierry misses a penalty and injures his hamstring
just eight minutes into the game.
Thierry 罰失一個點球,而且在比賽開始的第8分鐘就肌腱受傷。(註:但還是繼續踢完)

The Red Bulls still start the season positively recording a 1-0 victory
thanks to a promising 18-year-old called Juan Agudelo assisted by a certain
number 14.
但 Red Bulls 依然取得了正面的結果,拿下1-0勝利,多虧那名 18歲前途在望的 Juan
Agudelo 接到隊友14號的助攻而射門得分。

It turns out in our post-match interview with Agudelo that Thierry has stayed
behind in training that week to work on the exact move which led to the goal
Juan scored.
因此賽後我們訪談了 Agudelo,而 Juan Agudelo 進球前,Thierry 按照訓練時的跑位在
他後面牽制了其他球員。

I like this ending better somehow to the sugar-coated fairytale version it
might have been. It tells a different story, one of the player but also the
man I've come to know in the last few days.
但某種程度來說,比起可能實現糖衣包裹的童話故事版本,我較喜歡現在的結局。這是個
不一樣的故事,一個仍然是過去幾天我所認識的人。

週日

Anna, Duncan and I are heading home.
Anna、Duncan 和我正要回家。

Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge out of Manhattan and leaving the concrete jungle
behind us I get to thinking did I get what I wanted from our week in New
York?
穿過 布魯克林大橋而遠離 曼哈頓,茂密的樹叢從窗外閃過,我開始回想:我在紐約
的這一週是否得到我所想要的呢?

Did i get what I came for? The real Thierry Henry? I'd like to think i came
as close as anyone can.
我是否得到我想要的呢?更進一步地瞭解真實的 Thierry Henry ?我想了想,比起一般人
而言,已經很貼近他的生活了呢!

The End~~
