爱情让你做奇怪的事
你真有才华 史洛德
You’re so talented, Schroeder.
你觉得你的音乐是别人喜欢你的原因吗
Do you think your music is the reason people like you?
可能确实如此 查理·布朗 但这有些讽刺
That may be true, Charlie Brown, but it’s sort of ironic,
因为我喜欢弹琴的
since one of the things I like most
原因之一是能享受独处
about playing music is the solitude.
你的音乐似乎能表现你的为人
It’s like your music represents who you are.
不知什么样的音乐能表现我

多年来 《花生漫画》和史帕基一同成长变化
Over the years, Peanuts grew and changed just like Sparky did.
而且漫画的主旨也并不只是为了搞笑
And it wasn’t always just about being funny.
我自己的孩子长大了
My own children grew up,
连环画变得不那么面向儿童
the strip became really less kid-oriented.
而是变得更加抽象
The strip has become more abstract,
孩子其实真的就是大人的漫画形式
and the kids are really just caricatures of what adults are
夸张地表述了大人的问题
and the problems that adults have
和大人在实际生活中说的话
and the things that adults really say.
这是个可爱的漫画 有趣的角色 逗乐的瞬间
It’s a cute little cartoon, funny characters, funny moments.
但它的内涵也很深刻
But it also is kind of deeper.
漫画角色都很复杂
The characters are so complex,
拉洛·阿尔卡拉斯
《蟑螂》漫画家
他们会谈论人的感受
and they’re talking about human feelings
情绪 人类的境况
and emotions, you know, the human condition.
我觉得要说捕捉情感
I think he was one of the best
他绝对是数一数二的
when it came to capturing the mood.
艾尔·罗克
记者
他捕捉到了整个国家的情感
He captured the mood of the country.
我感觉他一直
I feel like he always was
比莉·简·金
网球冠军兼积极分子
在寻觅真♥相♥ 并讲述真♥相♥
searching for the truth and telling the truth.
史帕基想让世界对所有人公平
Sparky wanted the world to be equal for everyone,
这就是他的真♥相♥
and that’s what his truth is.
20世纪60年代后期 史帕基创造了薄荷·派蒂
In the late 1960s, Sparky created Peppermint Patty,
一个独♥立♥女孩 生活在单亲家庭中
an independent girl living with a single parent,
她违反了校规 穿着拖鞋和短裤来学校
who broke her school dress code by wearing sandals and shorts.
她那么与众不同
She was so different.
她不是漫画中常出现的
She was not the stereotypical female character
带刻板印象的女性角色
you would see on the comics page.
她非常我行我素
She’s totally her own person.
她个性独特 而且她喜欢独特
She’s just, like, so unique, and she’s comfortable being unique
米娅·切赫
演员
特立独行
and in her own skin.
薄荷·派蒂成绩很差
Peppermint Patty gets terrible grades.
她总在课上打瞌睡
She’s always falling asleep in class.
但她是个绝佳的投手
But she’s a great pitcher.
而且她每次都打败查克的棒球队
And she beats Chuck’s baseball team every time.

作家
有时甚至比分为100比1
Sometimes by, like, you know, 100-1.
爱运动的薄荷·派蒂
Sports-loving Peppermint Patty
部分是受史帕基的朋友 比莉·简·金启发
was partially inspired by Sparky’s friend, Billie Jean King,
史上最优秀的网球选手之一
one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
当你看到女性 女孩运动时
You saw the women, the girls in sports,
当然 作为女性 我会认为”这太棒了”
which of course, as a girl, I’m like, “That’s great.”
史帕基是真正的女权主义者
Sparky was really a feminist.
在《花生漫画》的世界里
In the world of Peanuts,
史帕基总是确保女孩与男孩一样强壮
Sparky always made sure that the girls were just as strong,
通常甚至更加强壮
and often even stronger than the boys.
大胆说出来
连环画毫无疑问映照了我们的文化
The comic strips really have mirrored our culture.
而且很可能薄荷·派蒂
And it just may be that Peppermint Patty
代表了孩子中的新风尚
does represent a new trend among kids
个性更独♥立♥ 更勇于发言
to be more independent and to speak out.
“我来了 伙计 有本事就阻止我”
“Here I come, fella! Stop me if you can!”
