7 The Fight for Peace

CHAPTER 7 The Fight for Peace Bob was glad to be in England. The attack at his home made him feel certain that it was important to work for peace in Jamaica and throughout the world. Bob thought his music could inspire that peace.

第七章为和平而战鲍勃很高兴来到英国。 在他家里发生的袭击使他确信，为牙买加和全世界的和平而努力是很重要的。 鲍勃认为他的音乐可以激发那种平静。

By 1976, Bob was an international star and role model. That year, Bob Marley and the Wailers were named "Band of the Year" by Rolling Stone magazine. Bob was featured on the cover. People all over the world admired him. But before Bob could make a new record, Bunny and Tosh left the Wailers. They wanted to make their own albums. Bob organized a new band and made two very popular albums with Chris Blackwell: Rastaman Vibration in 1976 and Exodus in 1977. In May 1977, Bob and his new band, now called "Bob Marley and the Wailers," flew to Paris to begin their new tour. On the day before the first show, the band relaxed by playing a game of soccer. During the game, someone stepped hard on Bob's toe by accident. It was the same toe that had been infected when he was a young boy.

到1976年，鲍勃已成为国际明星和榜样。 那一年，鲍勃·马利和威勒乐队被《滚石》杂志评为“年度乐队”。 鲍勃登上了封面。 全世界的人都崇拜他。 但鲍勃还没来得及录制新唱片，巴尼和托什就离开了威勒乐队。 他们想制作自己的专辑。 鲍勃组织了一支新乐队，并与克里斯·布莱克威尔（Chris Blackwell）制作了两张非常受欢迎的专辑：1976年的《Rastaman Vibration》和1977年的《Exodus》。 1977年5月，鲍勃和他的新乐队，现在被称为“鲍勃·马利和威勒”，飞往巴黎开始他们的新巡演。 在首场演出的前一天，乐队通过踢足球来放松。 在比赛中，有人不小心重重地踩了鲍勃的脚趾。 这是他小时候感染过的脚趾。

Bob was in pain, but he didn't let anyone know it. He and the band went on to play that night. One of the reviewers from the show in Paris wrote, "[Bob's] energy and surprisingly inventive dancing was a joyful

鲍勃很痛苦，但他没有让任何人知道。 那天晚上他和乐队继续演出。 一位来自巴黎时装秀的评论家写道：“（鲍勃的）活力和令人惊讶的创造性舞蹈令人愉悦

sight... Arms and dreadlocks flailing, he was a magical picture." While Bob traveled on tour with the band, he didn't complain. But he changed the bandages on his foot a lot. Sometimes, he found his boot was full of blood.

看到……手臂和脏辫乱动，他是一幅神奇的画面。” 当鲍勃随乐队巡回演出时，他没有抱怨。 但是他经常换脚上的绷带。 有时，他发现他的靴子里全是血。

By the end of the European tour, Bob could no longer walk. Finally, he went to see a doctor in London. Everyone was shocked by the news he received. Bob had a very serious form of skin cancer. Some people wondered if the childhood infection Bob had on his toe had caused the cancer. The doctor told him he had to choose: "the toe or the tour." He advised Bob to have his toe cut off to stop the spread of the cancer. The US tour for Exodus was canceled. Bob had surgery to remove the cancer, but not the entire toe. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to play soccer or dance

欧洲之行结束时，鲍勃已经不能走路了。 最后，他去伦敦看医生。 每个人都被他收到的消息震惊了。 鲍勃得了一种非常严重的皮肤癌。 有些人想知道，鲍勃的脚趾上的童年感染是否导致了癌症。 医生告诉他，他必须做出选择：“脚趾还是旅游。” 他建议鲍勃把脚趾切除，以阻止癌症的扩散。 出埃及记的美国巡演被取消。 鲍勃做了手术切除了癌细胞，但没有切除整个脚趾。 他担心自己不能踢足球或跳舞

again. After the surgery, Bob stayed with his mother at her new home in Miami, Florida. It was a warm place for him to heal. But Bob didn't always see his doctor for checkups, as he was supposed to. After a few months, Bob felt strong again. He returned to Jamaica for the first time in nearly a year and a half. He decided to help organize the One Love Peace Concert in Kingston. It would be a chance for all of Jamaica to come together. Bob still hoped that music could unite his beloved homeland. The concert was named for Bob's song "One Love," which repeats these

再一次。手术后，鲍勃和他的母亲住在佛罗里达州迈阿密的新家。 那是一个温暖的地方，让他疗伤。 但是鲍勃并不总是去看医生做检查，这是他应该做的。 几个月后，鲍勃又觉得强壮了。 这是他近一年半以来第一次回到牙买加。 他决定在金斯敦帮助组织“One Love Peace Concert”。 这将是一个让所有牙买加人团结起来的机会。 鲍勃仍然希望音乐能把他深爱的祖国团结起来。 这场音乐会是以鲍勃的歌曲“One Love”命名的，这首歌重复了这些
