艾美奖致敬环节 比利致敬威廉姆斯

 　　Billy Crystal paid tribute to Robin¹ Williams, his longtime friend and fellow comedian², at the Emmy Awards on Monday - and no one could have said it better.

　　比利?克里斯托在周一晚举行的艾美奖颁奖典礼上致敬他永远的朋友和伟大的喜剧演员罗宾?威廉姆斯---没有比这更好的怀念他的方式了。

　　The star-studded audience was left in tears after Billy's emotional words about the actor, who committed suicide two weeks ago.

　　众星云集的观众们在比利深情的致辞后都为这位两周前自杀的演员留下了泪水。

　　'He made us laugh. Hard,' Billy began. 'Every time you saw him - on television, movies, nightclubs, arenas³, hospitals, homeless shelters for our troops overseas. And even in a dying girl's living room for her last wish, he made us laugh. Big time.'

　　"他总是能让我们发笑，大笑，”比利说。“每次你看到他—在电视上，电影中，夜总会，竞技场，医院，我们在海外的军队庇护所，甚至在一位濒临死亡的女孩儿的住房里，他总是让我们发笑。”

　　'While some of the brightest of our celestial⁴ bodies are actually extinct now, their energy long since cooled, but miraculously⁵, because they float in the heavens so far away from us now, their beautiful light will continue to shine on us forever,' he said.

　　“虽然我们当中那些最亮的天体已经灭绝了，他们的能量也冷却了，但是奇迹般的，因为他们漂浮在远离我们的天堂，他们美丽的光芒将继续永远照耀着我们。”他说。

　　Billy's sweet words had moved many of the celebrity⁶ guests to tears, and Jason Biggs tweeted afterwards: 'Not a dry eye in this place.'

　　比利甜蜜的语言让在座的很多明星嘉宾都留下了眼泪，杰森?比格斯之后还发推说“在这里眼睛都没干过。”
