Studio 54：“门口搞独裁，舞池搞民主”

“It’s a dictatorship at the door and a democracy on the dance floor.”

“门口搞独裁，舞池搞民主。”

That’s what Andy Warhol said was the key to success for Studio 54, the famously wild New York City nightclub that opened its doors on April 26, 1977.

对于Studio 54成功的关键，安迪·沃霍尔(Andy Warhol)是这么说的。Studio 54是纽约著名的狂野夜店，于1977年4月26日开业。

Donald and Ivana Trump were among the first guests — but they arrived early in the night. It would be hours before it turned into a hedonistic dance party of epic proportions.

特朗普及伊万娜·特朗普(Ivana Trump)是第一批客人之一——但他们当晚来早了。距离那里变为规模空前的享乐跳舞派对，还有好几个小时的时间。

“All of us knew that night that we weren’t at the opening of a discothèque but the opening of something historical,” said Robin Leach, who went on to host “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.”

“我们都知道，那晚我们不是在一家迪斯科舞厅的开幕仪式上，而是在某种历史性的开幕中，”罗宾·里奇(Robin Leach)说道，他后来去主持了《名流富有者的生活方式》(Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous)。

His comments were included in the book “The Last Party: Studio 54, Disco, and the Culture of the Night,” by Anthony Haden-Guest.

他的这番话也出现在了《最后的派对：Studio 54、迪斯科，以及夜文化》(The Last Party: Studio 54, Disco, and the Culture of the Night)一书中，该书的作者是安东尼·海登-盖斯特(Anthony Haden-Guest)。

The owners of Studio 54, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, came to be known as the “first pashas of disco.” Above, Mr. Rubell, Liza Minnelli, Bianca Jagger and Mr. Warhol at the first anniversary party.

Studio 54的所有者史蒂夫·鲁贝尔(Steve Rubell)和伊恩·施拉格(Ian Schrager)后来作为“迪斯科的首任帕夏”而著名。上图为鲁贝尔、莉莎·明内利(Liza Minnelli)、比安卡·贾格尔(Bianca Jagger)及沃霍尔在Studio 54的一周年派对上。

But just two years later, the owners were charged with tax evasion for skimming from club receipts. After serving time in prison, they went on to open hotels and clubs.

但仅仅两年后，所有者们因瞒报俱乐部的收据，被控逃税。出狱后，他们又去开了酒店和俱乐部。

Mr. Rubell died in 1989, and Mr. Schrager was pardoned by President Barack Obama just before he left office.

鲁贝尔于1989年去世，施拉格则在贝拉克·奥巴马总统卸任前获得了赦免。
