Walt and his Disneyland 华特和他的迪士尼乐园
Walt began talking about building an amusement park on an eleven-acre triangle the studio owned across the street on Riverside Drive.He started formulating his plans for the amusement area, which he intended to call Mickey Mouse Park.He outlined his ideas in a memo on August 31, 1948: The Main Village, which includes the Railroad Station, is built around a village green or informal park.In the park will be benches, a bandstand, drinking fountain, trees and shrubs.It will be a place for people to sit and rest;mothers and grandmothers can watch over small children at play.I want it to be very relaxing, cool and inviting.华特开始讨论在跨越河滨车道归属工作室所有的那11英亩三角形地块上建一座乐园的事。在他最开始的规划里,他打算给这个乐园起名为米奇老鼠公园。1948年8月31日他在备忘录中勾勒出他的想法:主村落包含火车站,四周环绕乡村绿景或非常规公园。乐园会放置长板凳、露天音乐台、自动饮水机,种植树木和草丛。人们可以在这里坐和休息,家长们可以看着孩子们玩耍。我希望把它打造成一个让人倍感轻松、酷雅魅力的地方。
Around the park will be built the town.At one end will be the Railroad Station;at the other end, the Town Hall.The Hall will be built to represent a Town Hall, but actually we will use it as our administration building.It will be the headquarters of the entire project.围绕着乐园会建起城镇。一端是火车站,另一端是市镇会堂。会堂代表这个城镇的市政厅,但其实是我们办公的大楼。它是整个项目的总部。
Adjoining the Town Hall will be the Fire and Police Station.The Fire Station will contain practical fire apparatus, scaled down.The Police Station will also be put to practical use.Here the visitors will report all violations, lost articles, lost kids, etc.In it we could have a little jail where the kids could look in.We might even have some characters in it.毗邻市镇会堂的是消防署和警察厅。消防署会备有小型防火设备投入实际使用。警察厅同样会投入实际使用。游客可以向警察厅举报所有违法行为、寻求失物、寻找走失儿童等。厅里还有一些监狱可以让孩子参观。监狱里可能还会放置一些人物角色。
The memo listed other attractions: a drugstore with soda fountain;an opera house and a movie theater, which could also be used for radio and television broadcasts;toy, doll, hobby and book shops;a toy repair shop and doll hospital;a candy store and store for dollhouse furniture;a shop where Disney artists could sell their works;a music store and shop for children’s clothing;a colorful hot dog and ice cream stand;a restaurant with rooms for birthday parties;a functioning post office.备忘录中还列出了其他场景:一家旁边有苏打水喷泉的药店;一家歌剧院和一家电影院,同时也可以用于播放广播和电视;玩具店、玩偶店、休闲品店和书店;一家玩具修理店和玩偶医疗院;一家糖果店和玩偶之家家具店;一家迪士尼艺术家作品店;一家音乐店和儿童服装店;一个彩色热狗站和雪糕站;一家拥有生日派对房的餐厅;一个能寄出邮件的邮局。
Walt planned a horse-drawn streetcar that would take guests from the main entrance to the Western Village.The Village would have a general store selling cowboy items;a pony ring;a stagecoach;a donkey pack train;and perhaps a Western movie theater and a frontier museum.Surreys and buck-boards would be available to take people through an old-fashioned farm and into the Carnival Section.This will be attached off the village and will be the regular concessions type which will appeal to adults and kids alike.There will be roller coasters, merry-go-rounds…typical Midway stuff.华特计划设置一辆马拉电车载乘游客从主入口到达西部村落。村落安排有总店出售西部牛仔纪念品、套马活动、马车巡游、驮畜队游行,还可能盖一个西部电影影院和一个拓荒博物馆。这里有萨里式游览马车和弹簧板四轮马车载乘游客穿过一片旧式农场进入嘉年华区。嘉年华区离村庄不远,大人小孩都会被这个地方吸引。因为这里有云霄飞车、回旋木马„„所有乐园中的经典娱乐项目。
Walt Disney and Ryman spent a weekend together drawing out the preliminary plans for the park.Many features remained in the final version of Disneyland, such as the Castle, Main Street USA, Tomorrowland, Frontierland(complete with the island, the Rivers of America and the Steamboat the Mark Twain).The following Monday, the sketches were complete and they were copied, and colored in by Dick Irvine and Marvin Davis.The following description, written by Bill Walsh, was now included with the sketch: 华特迪士尼和雷曼周末一起商讨写出建立乐园的初步方案。很多场景都在迪士尼乐园的最终版本中保留了下来,比如城堡、美国小镇大街、明日世界、西部拓荒世界(有岛屿、美国河流和马克吐温汽船)。接下来的周一,他们完成并复印了这份计划,让欧文迪克和马文戴维斯上色。还有比尔沃尔什写的细化描述也包含在计划里。
“…The idea of Disneyland is a simple one.It will be a place for people to find happiness and knowledge.It will be a place for parents and children to share pleasant times in one another’s company;a place for teachers and pupils to discover greater ways of understanding and education.Here the older generation can recapture the nostalgia of days gone by, and the younger generation can savor the challenge of the future.Here will be the wonders of Nature and Man for all to see and understand…It will be filled with the accomplishments, the joys, the hopes of the world we live in.And it will remind us and show us how to make these wonders part of our own lives…”
“„„建立迪士尼乐园的出发点很简单。它是一个让人们寻找快乐和知识的地方。在这里,父母和孩子可以共享美好的相伴时光;老师和学生可以发现多种理解和教育的方式。在这里,老一辈可以缅怀往昔,年轻一代可以尝试挑战未来。在这里,人们可以共同见证自然和人类奇迹并相互理解„„这是一个充满成就感、欢乐和希望的世界。而且它会时刻提醒我们、告诉我们如何使我们的生活充满美好。
On July 17th, 1955, Disneyland hosted a grand opening with special VIP tickets for the press and celebrities.A live television broadcast covered the event.Unfortunately, the opening day tickets were easily counterfeited, so the park reached its full capacity quite quickly.The Mark Twain nearly capsized when too many passengers were loaded aboard.Several areas of the park were unfinished.Tomorrowland was mainly a collection of sponsored trade shows and demonstrations, and much of it was not open for the opening day.Drinking fountains were scarce because of a plumber’s strike, rides broke down under the strain, and women’s high-heel shoes sank into the soft asphalt on Main Street that didn’t have sufficient time to harden.1955年7月17日,迪士尼乐园举办了大型的开幕仪式,媒体和名人纷纷出席。电视上直播了这场盛宴。很不幸的是开幕日的门票很容易被仿冒,所以乐园很快就满人了。由于承载过多游客,马克吐温汽船差点翻船。乐园里还有几处未完工。明日世界主要作赞助商演和表演的场地,开幕日当天很多地方是不向公众开放的。乐园内的饮水机匮乏因为水管工罢工,马也应因疲累倒下,小镇大街的软沥青还没来得及变硬导致女士们的高跟鞋插进软沥青中拔不起来。
Walt, who was busy with television interviews and dedications, was mostly unaware of the turmoil until reading about it the next day in the newspapers.Many predicted failure for Walt’s new park, and pointed out many of its faults.Walt took action and quickly fixed many of the problems that plagued the park on its first day, but it did take several months for the park to run smoothly.Walt’s new park was exploring territory in themed entertainment.Ride capacities were set from the first day(and some remain in effect to this day).To park employees, opening day was to be known as “Black Sunday” in Disneyland History.华特当天忙于电视采访和致辞,没有发觉乐园内的混乱状况,直到第二天看到报纸报道才知道。报道中很多人预测华特的新乐园将失败收场并指出乐园中的诸多故障。华特立即采取行动去修复乐园在开幕日里出现的各种问题,但这也花了好几个月,乐园才能顺利运作。华特的新乐园主打主题娱乐探险。乐园载客能力在开幕日当天已经设定下来了(有些数据设定直到今天仍有影响)。对于乐园员工来说,开幕日是迪士尼乐园历史中著名的“黑色星期日”。

一个最近的在线调查发现,中国55%的青年人缺乏生活热情,71%的青年人认为他们承受着沉重的压力。在当今中国青年人身上普遍存着焦虑现象。名牌轿车、豪宅以及享受特权生活是人们奋发努力的目标。然而,相比于高房价,高教育费用和医疗支出,他们的收入太低,收入增幅缓慢并且他们看不到摆脱困境的希望,因而产生了焦虑。

My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses.The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks.This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed.As Oscar Wilde said, “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on.It is never of any use to oneself.” 所以,下面就是我的忠告。第一,每次在你庆祝自己的成就的时候,感谢那些帮你实现成就的人。要感谢你的父母和支持你的朋友,要感谢那些启发过你的教授,尤其要感谢那些课上得不怎么好的教授,因为他们迫使你自学。从长远来看,自学能力是优秀的文科教育中必不可少的,将成为你成功的关键。你还要去拥抱你的同学,感谢他们同你进行过的许多次彻夜长谈,这为你的教育带来了无法衡量的价值(感谢他们在那些彻夜长谈中为你的学习带来的无法衡量的价值)。当然,你还要感谢哈佛大学。不过即使你忘了这一点,校友会也会来提醒你。第二,在你们未来的人生中,做一个慷慨大方的人。在任何谈判中,都把最后一点点利益留给对方。不要把桌上的钱都拿走。在合作中,要牢记荣誉不是一个守恒的量。成功合作的任何一方,都应获得全部荣誉的90%。
