美国影视剧坛的喜剧大师梅尔·布鲁克斯获奥斯卡终身成就奖

Mel Brooks can put another accolade on his resumé, with the legendary comedian and filmmaker receiving an honorary Oscar at the 14th Governors Awards. 

传奇喜剧演员兼电影制作人梅尔·布鲁克斯在第14届奥斯卡奖上获得了终身成就奖，他的简历上又多了一项荣誉。

“This is beautiful,” Brooks, 97, began his acceptance speech after presenters Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick serenaded him with songs from his storied career. "I got to tell you, this means a lot to me. It really means a lot."

“这太美了，”97岁的布鲁克斯开始发表获奖感言，颁奖嘉宾内森·莱恩和马修·布罗德里克为他演唱了他传奇生涯中的歌曲。“我得告诉你，这对我来说意义重大。这真的意义重大。”

Brooks vowed to never sell his second Oscar, jokingly telling the crowd he regretted selling his first. In 1968, Brooks won best original screenplay for The Producers. "I miss it so much," he cracked. "I never should have sold it."

布鲁克斯发誓永远不会卖掉他的第二个小金人，他开玩笑地告诉观众，他后悔卖掉了第一个小金人。1968年，布鲁克斯凭借《制片人》获得最佳原创剧本奖。“我太想念它了，”他说。“我不应该卖掉它。”

The Young Frankenstein director recalled how it "meant a lot" to be awarded a place in his family as the youngest of four boys. "It's the same thing in showbusiness," Brooks said. "If your fellow writers, directors, etc. like you and appreciate your work, it means a lot. It means a whole lot."

这位《年轻的弗兰肯斯坦》的导演回忆说，作为家里四个男孩中最小的一个，在家里占有一席之地“意义重大”。“演艺圈也是一样，”布鲁克斯说。“如果你的编剧、导演等同事喜欢你，欣赏你的作品，那就意味着很多。这意味着很多。”

"When your peers appreciate your work and they salute you with this golden statue, it means a great deal," the spry Brooks continued, before calling the award "terrific."

“当你的同行欣赏你的作品，用这个金像向你致敬时，这意味着很多，”活泼的布鲁克斯继续说道，然后称这个奖项“太棒了”。

"I won't sell this. I swear to God," Brooks said before leaving the stage.

“我不卖这个。我向上帝发誓，”布鲁克斯在离开舞台前说。

On June 26, 2023, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed that Brooks, along with actor Angela Bassett and film editor Carol Littleton, would receive the award at the November ceremony for their contributions to the industry.

2023年6月26日，美国电影艺术与科学学院宣布，布鲁克斯、演员安吉拉·巴塞特和电影编辑卡罗尔·利特尔顿将在11月的颁奖典礼上获得该奖，以表彰他们对电影行业的贡献。

"First of all, I am very happy to still be alive!" Brooks told PEOPLE in a statement after the award's announcement. "But secondly, it is so nice to be recognized by my peers in The Academy over 50 years after my last Oscar,"

“首先，我很高兴我还活着!”布鲁克斯在奖项宣布后的一份声明中告诉《人物》杂志。“但其次，在我最后一次获得奥斯卡奖50多年后，能得到同行的认可，我感到很高兴。”

He added, "A long time ago I was given a choice: I had an offer to be working as an apprentice accountant or as a coffee runner in show business. I'm still glad I chose the coffee."

他补充说:“很久以前，我有一个选择:要么当学徒会计师，要么在演艺圈当咖啡工。我还是很高兴我选了咖啡。”

Brooks is one of 23 individuals to achieve an EGOT — an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award. Brooks earned two more Oscar nods in 1975 for best adapted screenplay for Young Frankenstein and best original song for Blazing Saddles.

布鲁克斯是23位获得艾美奖、格莱美奖、奥斯卡奖和托尼奖的人之一。1975年，布鲁克斯凭借《年轻的弗兰肯斯坦》获得最佳改编剧本奖，凭借《炽热的马鞍》获得最佳原创歌曲奖。

“Mel Brooks lights up our hearts with his humor, and his legacy has made a lasting impact on every facet of entertainment," Academy President Janet Yang previously said in a press release.

“梅尔·布鲁克斯的幽默点亮了我们的心，他的遗产对娱乐界的各个方面都产生了持久的影响，”学院主席珍妮特·杨此前在一次新闻发布会上说。

Voted on by the Academy’s Board of Governors, the Honorary Award is “given to honor extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy."

荣誉奖由学院理事会投票选出，“授予终身成就非凡的人，对电影艺术和科学做出杰出贡献的人，或对学院做出杰出贡献的人。”

Past recipients of the award include Samuel L. Jackson, Donald Sutherland, Jackie Chan and Cicely Tyson.

过去的获奖者包括塞缪尔·杰克逊、唐纳德·萨瑟兰、成龙和西塞莉·泰森。
