00:00:00.224 --> 00:00:03.947
The world of journalism has lost one of its most respected voices.
新聞界失去了圈內最受敬重的聲音之一。

2
00:00:04.224 --> 00:00:10.433
The family of David Frost says he had a heart attack on Saturday while on a cruise ship where he was scheduled to give a speech.
大衛．弗羅斯特的家人說，弗羅斯特星期六在一艘郵輪上心臟病發作，他原本預定在該艘船上發表一場演說。

One, you could get a million dollars and you could get it in cash. I know where it could be gotten.
第一，你可以拿到一百萬元，而且你拿到的是現金。我知道可以到哪裡拿到這筆錢。

5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.596
Sir David Frost was, perhaps, best known for his pointed interview style.
或許大衛．弗羅斯特爵士最為人所熟知的是他刀單直入的訪談風格。

Two, your major guy to keep under control is Hunt.
第二，你們最需要約束的重要人物是杭特（編註：水門事件的關鍵人物之一）。

7
00:00:31.733 --> 00:00:38.598
And at no time was that more evident than his 1977 interview with former U.S. president, Richard Nixon.
而關於這點又以一九七七年他對前美國總統理查．尼克森進行的專訪最為明顯。

8
00:00:38.805 --> 00:00:42.846
Alright, fine. Let me just stop you right there. Right there!
好了，算了。我要你別再唸了，到此為止！

9
00:00:43.186 --> 00:00:52.048
It was a historic battle of wits that lasted until Nixon was compelled to say what the American public yearned for most, an apology.
那是一場歷史性的鬥智交鋒戰，一直持續到尼克森被逼得說出美國民眾最想要聽到的話，一個道歉。

10
00:00:52.242 --> 00:00:59.609
And I know how difficult it is for anyone and most of all, you, but I think that people need to hear it
我知道這對任何人來說都很困難，尤其是你，但我認為人們必須聽到那句話。

11
00:01:00.191 --> 00:01:04.768
and I think unless you say it, you're gonna be haunted for the rest of your life.
而且我認為除非你說出口，不然你餘生都會良心不安。

12
00:01:05.521 --> 00:01:12.275
At the time, Frost was a legendary talk show host in Britain, known for holding the country's prime ministers to account.
當時，弗羅斯特在英國是個傳奇性的談話節目主持人，他以追究英國首相的責任聞名。

13
00:01:12.341 --> 00:01:16.067
But until the Nixon interview, he was little known in the United States.
但直到那場尼克森的專訪之前，他在美國的知名度並不高。

Frost paid Nixon $600,000 for nearly 30 hours of access -- money he paid out of his own pocket.
弗羅斯特付給尼克森六十萬美元，讓他有近三十小時可以採訪他，這筆錢是他自掏腰包付的。

15
00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:32.021
If one had completely failed to get anything out of Nixon, or any admissions out of Nixon and so on, it would have been pretty disastrous.
如果一個人完全無法從尼克森身上問出任何事，或讓尼克森做出任何自白等等，那就是徹底失敗了。

16
00:01:32.085 --> 00:01:38.975
Far from a disaster, the interview became the landmark achievement of his career, the stuff of movies.
和徹底失敗正好相反，該次專訪成為他職涯中最具代表性的成就，並成為電影的素材。

which was based on a stage play by the same name.
該片是根據一齣同名的舞台劇拍攝而成。

If you could choose one to lead the country you were living in, which one would you choose?
如果你能選擇一個人擔任你居住國家的領導人，你會選誰？

21
00:01:59.625 --> 00:02:01.667
George H.W. Bush.
喬治．H.W.．布希。

22
00:02:02.028 --> 00:02:02.948
George Bush, Sr.
老布希。

23
00:02:02.952 --> 00:02:13.968
Yeah. Because... and the reason is that I just found him somebody who is... he was wise, he was cautious, he knew what he was determined to do.
對，因為……原因是我就是覺得他是一個……他很睿智，很審慎，他知道自己決心想要做什麼。

24
00:02:14.152 --> 00:02:20.532
He would relish key moments, great lines from his subjects, like one from South African archbishop, Desmond Tutu.
他會回味一些重要時刻，他訪談對象的嘉言錄，像是南非大主教圖圖說的一句話。

25
00:02:20.946 --> 00:02:25.133
I said, "Now, I always think of you as an optimist."
我說：「我一直認為你是個樂觀主義者。」

26
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:31.637
And he said, "I'm not an optimist. I'm a prisoner of hope." Great phrase.
然後他說：「我不是個樂觀主義者，我是個希望的囚徒。」很棒的一句話。

27
00:02:32.091 --> 00:02:36.874
Most recently, he had his own program on the international network, Al Jazeera English,
最近他在國際電視網的半島電視台英語頻道中有了自己的節目，

28
00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:45.079
but for years, he was the staple of BBC morning television, Breakfast with Frost, which he would end with his signature sign-off.
但是多年來，他都是英國國家廣播公司晨間節目《與弗羅斯特早餐》的台柱，他會以他的招牌結語做結尾。
