非常荣幸向大家介绍
I’m very honored to introduce
今天的客座讲师
our guest lecturer today.
他十五年前从这里毕业
He graduated from here about 15 years ago.
走上了辉煌的职业道路
He’s gone on to a fabulous career.
他是我所知道最胜任 最内行的人
I can’t think of a single person who’s more qualified
可以来为你们讲解正在学习的
or more adept at the final procedures
最后的程序
you’ve been studying lately.
原理你们都已经知道
Now you’ve learned the science,
现在请领会个中的精妙
now’s your chance to learn the art.
同学们 有请伯尼·提德先生
Students, Mr. Bernie Tiede.
谢谢你 教授
Thank you, Professor.
谢谢大家
Thank you.
能回校讲课真是十分荣幸
It’s always an honor to be asked back
我乐于讲课 因为觉得
and I do it gladly because I feel…
要是我今天所说所做的哪怕一件事
if even one thing I say or demonstrate today
能对你未来的工作有所帮助
helps you in any way as you embark on your careers,
那也算是造福世人
then everyone will have benefited.
对你 对哀者
You, those who are grieving,
对逝者 都是有福的
and the deceased.
指甲剪干净
The nails have to be clipped,
修整齐 看着有生气
shaped and brought back to life.
指甲也要和逝者身份相称
And you must cast the nails to the person.
可别给一个维修工
You wouldn’t want a mechanic
修出空姐的指甲
to have the nails of a flight attendant.
对吧
Would you?
千万别忘了清理鼻子
It is very important to remove any unwanted nasal,
耳朵 和面毛
ear, or facial hair.
打起十二分精神
We can never be too vigilant
对付哪怕一小根调皮的乱毛
in the lookout for that one stray rogue hair.
有时眼睛也会出问题
The eyes are often a minor problem
因为它们总是睁着
because they usually want to stay open.
就好像
It’s almost like
想再看一眼这个美妙的世界
they want one last look at this miraculous world.
不过加点强力胶
But with some Super Glue…
再按一按就好
a little dab will do you…
他就再也不会瞟你
and it’s no more peeking.
尽管做了防腐措施之后 脸部就固定了
Even though the features have been set during the embalming,
不过你还得再调整
you have to reassess and readjust
因为持续的萎缩和脱水会使表情变形
because of continuing emaciation and dehydration.
理想的嘴部表情
Perfect expression of the mouth
应该是放松 自然 又略带微笑的
would be relaxed, natural, with a little bit of a smile.
别让他一脸不高兴
Can’t have him looking unhappy to be there.
还得注意别让嘴唇歪来歪去
And we must always be on guard for the mischievous lip drift.
即便露了一点牙齿 那也糟透了
Even the slightest hint of teeth can be disastrous.
别让悲伤的葬礼变成闹剧
You cannot have grief tragically become a comedy.
接着 打上混合着
Then, after a foundation
防脱水按♥摩♥乳的粉底
mixed with massage cream to prevent dehydration,
再均匀肤色
even out coloration,
提亮肤色
then apply highlights.
妆别化太浓
Do not over-cosmetize.
许多葬仪师给逝者粉扑得太重了
Most of those who service the deceased apply far too much blush.
给大家一句金玉良言
Just a note to always remember:
扑上三斤粉也无法起死回生
too much color does not make one look more alive.
最后要注意的细节是
The last detail to be managed
逝者身体的姿势
is the deceased’s body position.
左手放在右手上
Left hand over the right,
靠着肚脐 显得舒服
over the umbilicus, in an attitude of ease,
沉静 安详
of repose, of retirement.
头部的位置也很重要
The position of the head is oh so important.
既不上仰
Neither star gazing
也不下含
nor navel gazing,
正对前方
but perfectly centered,
微微向右一点
turned ever so slightly to the right…
像打招呼一样
in greeting.
修饰完仪容
He’s now been cosmetized,
接下来就是穿衣服
he’s ready to be dressed,
和装棺
and casketed.
主爱扶持我
Love lifted me!
主爱扶持我
Love lifted me!
主爱扶持我
Looove lifted meee!
我曾深陷苦海
I was sinking deep in sin,
远离宁静的岸
off on the peaceful shore.
深深沉沦
Buried deeply staying within
无力挣脱
sinking to rise no more,
但苦海的主
But the master of the sea
听到我绝望的呼救
heard my despairing cry.
伯尼是个富有魅力的人
Bernie was a very charismatic man.
很体贴
A loving person.
他让这个世界看着更美好
And he had the ability to make the world seem kind.
主爱扶持我
Love lifted me.
当万物无法助我
When nothing else could help,
唯有主爱扶持我
love lifted me.
主爱扶持我
Love lifted me…
他真心待人 很受大家欢迎
Real good with people, a real people person,
总是伸着手准备与人相握
always had his hand out, ready to shake it,
没有陌生感 善于记名字
never met a stranger, good with names,
善于回答问题
good with questions.
他能记住你的女儿在不在德州
He could remember if your daughter was at Texas,
儿子在A&M上学
and your son was at A&M.
他都记得 还会询问你孩子的近况
He’d remember that and he’d ask you questions about those kids.
让你觉得自己很受重视
Just made you feel real good about yourself.
当万物无法助我
When nothing else could help now
唯有主爱扶持我
Love lifted me
危难中的灵魂仰望天际
Souls in danger look above,
主耶稣拯救一切
Jesus completely saves.
他以主爱将你扶持
He will lift you by his love,
不再愤怒难抑
out of the angry ways.
他是苦海之主
He’s the master of the sea,
如果让迦太基镇的人
If the people in Carthage were
列一张名单
to make a list of those people
说出他们认为该上天堂的人
that they thought would get to heaven,
我敢肯定伯尼会名列前茅
I am sure that Bernie would be right at the top of the list.
主爱扶持我
Love lifted me.
当万物无法助我
When nothing else could help,
唯有主爱扶持我
now love lifted me.
