Stan Lee: Spider-Man, X-Men and Avengers creator dies aged 95

Almost as famous as his Marvel superheroes, Lee was known for bringing complex emotional life to cartoon characters

Stan Lee：蜘蛛俠，X戰(zhàn)警和復(fù)仇者聯(lián)盟的締造者去世，享年95歲

正如他聞名遐邇的漫威超級(jí)英雄系列一樣，Lee因?qū)?fù)雜多樣的情感生活注入到卡通形象之中而享譽(yù)全球。

The comic writerStan Lee, co-creator of iconic characters including Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Daredevil and the X-Men, has died aged 95.

鋼鐵俠，神奇四俠，蜘蛛俠，夜魔俠以及X戰(zhàn)警等偶像人物的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人漫畫作家Stan Lee于95歲高齡去世。

Lee, who teamed up with artists such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, revitalised the comics industry with his superheroes, giving them complex emotional lives to colour their all-action adventures.

Lee同Jack Kirby和Steve Ditko等藝術(shù)家一道，用超級(jí)英雄系列重振了漫畫產(chǎn)業(yè)，給英雄們注入了多樣的情感生活，來豐富他們的冒險(xiǎn)之旅。

As a writer and editor charged with keeping multiple stories going at the same time, Lee wove them together into a seamless fictional world where Iron Man could join forces with the Fantastic Four, and Captain America could find himself a wedding guest alongside Doctor Strange. The Marvel Universe he created crossed from page to screen in a series of TV and movie adaptations and changed the face of popular culture.

作為一個(gè)能同時(shí)保證多線敘事的作家和編輯，Lee將這些故事編織成了一個(gè)完美的虛擬世界，在這個(gè)世界里，鋼鐵俠可以和神奇四俠聯(lián)手，美國隊(duì)長能和奇異博士一道去參加婚禮。他創(chuàng)造的漫威宇宙世界從紙上穿越到了熒幕前，變成了一系列的電視劇和改編電影，改變了流行文化的方向。

“He felt an obligation to his fans to keep creating,” his daughter J.C. Lee said in a statement to Reuters. “He loved his life and he loved what he did for a living. His family loved him and his fans loved him. He was irreplaceable.”

“他覺得為粉絲們不斷去創(chuàng)造是自己的義務(wù)，”他的女兒J.C. Lee在對(duì)路透社的一份聲明中說到:“他熱愛生活并且熱愛著自己的事業(yè)。家人愛他，粉絲們也愛他。他是不可替代的?！?/p>

She did not mention Lee’s cause of death but the TMZ celebrity news website said an ambulance was called to Lee’s Hollywood Hills home early on Monday, and that he died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

她并未提及Lee的死因，但是TMZ名人新聞網(wǎng)說到，周一一大早，一輛救護(hù)車來到了Lee好萊塢山的住所，然后他在Cedars-Sinai醫(yī)療中心逝世。

Stan Lee老爺子的去世讓娛樂界大腕們都扼腕嘆息，紛紛發(fā)推文表達(dá)哀思：

美國隊(duì)長Chris Evans寫道：“世界上再不會(huì)有第二個(gè)Stan Lee。幾十年來他給年輕和年老一代帶來了冒險(xiǎn)，逃離，安慰，自信，啟發(fā)，力量，友誼和快樂。他的愛和仁慈會(huì)在許許多多的生命中留下永久的印記。Excelsior!!”

黑寡婦Scarlett Johansson寫道：“安息吧，Stan Lee，漫威漫畫的作家，編輯和出版人，太多太多榮譽(yù)了。謝謝你做的一切?！?/div>

金剛狼Hugh Jackman寫道：“我們又失去了一個(gè)創(chuàng)造鬼才。Stan Lee曾是超級(jí)英雄宇宙里的先驅(qū)。我很榮幸成為他經(jīng)典中的一小部分…扮演了其中一個(gè)角色”

Excelsior:

想必大家今天看到這個(gè)詞出現(xiàn)頻率特別高。但是為什么都要把excelsior和Stan Lee聯(lián)系在一起呢？在60年代時(shí)，Stan Lee還在畫漫畫專欄時(shí)曾經(jīng)用過其他比較容易被抄襲的結(jié)束語，像是Hang Loose, Face Front等。后來老爺子為了防止抄襲決定用一個(gè)其他人不知道的詞“Excelsior”作為他漫畫的結(jié)束語，這也成為了他一生都在踐行的目標(biāo)。后來Stan Lee也用Excelsior作為自傳的名稱。同時(shí)Excelsior也是Stan Lee家鄉(xiāng)紐約州的官方格言。

Stan Lee在推特中解釋到Excelsior意思是“upward and onward to great glory!”這是也他對(duì)萬千讀者們的祝福。大家心目中是怎么翻譯和理解的呢？
