文森特-麦克肯纳先生于1946年
Mr. Vincent MacKenna was born in 1946
在羊头湾出生
in Sheepshead Bay,
是第一代爱尔兰移♥民♥的后代
the son of first-generation Irish immigrants.
从小在布鲁克林贫困的环境中长大
Growing up poor on the streets of Brooklyn,
文森特学会了所有小孩子不需要知道的事
Vincent learned all the things that kids shouldn’t need to know:
打架 骂街 赌博
fighting,cursing and gambling.
1965年 作为美国陆军第五团的成员
In 1965,as a member of the United States Army’s Fifth Regiment,
文森特等450名士兵
Vincent was among the 450 soldiers
刚到达大南山谷 就立刻遭到了2000名
dropped into the La Drang Valley and immediately ambushed
敌人军队的埋伏
by 2,000 enemy troops.
他英勇得救下了两名被敌人火力牵制的
There he heroically saved the lives of two wounded officers
受伤军官 带着他们躲过了危险
pinned down by enemy fire and carried them to safety.
因为他的英勇行为 他获得了铜星勋章
He was awarded the Bronze Star for his bravery.
我想 最能让大家认识文塞特-麦克肯纳先生的方式
I imagine the best way I can tell u who Mr. Vincent MacKenna is
就是告诉你们 他为我做了什么
is to tell u what he’s done for me.
在我和妈妈刚搬来这里时 谁都不认识
When me and my mom first moved here,we knew no one,
而麦克肯纳先生接纳了我 其实他并不需要
and Mr. MacKenna took me in when he didn’t have to,
也并不想这么做
and most likely didn’t want to.
但他还是这么做了 因为圣人就是如此
But he did it anyhow,’cause that’s what saints do.
我们去看了他妻子 珊迪 结婚40年了 最近刚刚去世
We visited his wife,Sandy,of 40 years,who recently passed away.
文在过去八年里每周都帮她洗衣服
Vin’s done her laundry every week for the past eight years,
而她早就认不得他了
long after she no longer recognized him.
因为圣人从不放弃
Because saints never give up.
他教我打架 坚定立场 如何♥勇♥敢
He taught me how to fight,how to stand my ground and be brave,
如何开口表达 如何大胆
how to speak up and be bold.
因为圣人会为自己和别人抗争
Because saints fight for themselves and others,
这样就会有人听到他们的声音
so that they might be heard.
他教我如何赌博 赛马
He taught me how to gamble,horse racing,
基诺游戏 双管猎枪
Keno,the over and under,
也因为这样 我要被禁足到十八岁
which is a big reason why I’m grounded till I’m 18.
但过程中 我学会了如何冒险 孤注一掷
But in that,I learned how to take risks and go for broke.
因为人生中 赔率会与你作对
Because in life,the odds can be stacked against u.
这是文的猫 菲利克斯
This is Vin’s cat,Felix,
文吃沙丁鱼 它吃美味猫粮
who eats gourmet cat food while Vin eats sardines.
因为圣人会做出牺牲
‘Cause saints make sacrifices.
没错 文森特-麦克肯纳先生有缺点
Yes,Mr. Vincent MacKenna is flawed,
严重的缺点 但就如同我们学习的其他圣人
seriously flawed,but just like all the other saints we studied.
因为毕竟 圣人也是人
Because after all,saints are human beings,
普通人
very human beings.
勇气 牺牲 同情 人性
Courage,sacrifice,compassion,humanity.
这些是圣人的标志
These are the markings of a saint,
也就让文森特-麦克肯纳先生 与罗切斯特的圣人威廉
and what makes Mr. Vincent MacKenna not so far removed
并没有很大的差距
from Saint William of Rochester.
因此 我想请出我的朋友和保姆
And with that,I’d like to present my friend and babysitter,
文森特-麦克肯纳先生 上台受礼
Mr. Vincent MacKenna,for sainthood,
在此宣布他为
and hereby proclaim him
羊头湾的圣人文森特
St. Vincent of Sheepshead Bay.
谢谢 先生

Hard pretzels. That’s just what I was looking at.

If u do it just right,

u can end up with…
一个的钱 得到两个呢
two… for the price of one.
很酷吧 了不起 小子
Pretty cool. That’s pretty good,kiddo.
我要学习一下
I might have to adopt that.
