Denzel Washington and Lenny Kravitz have been close friends for decades — so close, in fact, that the actor joked that their friendship may have transcended platonic boundaries.
丹澤爾·華盛頓和萊尼·克拉維茨幾十年來一直是親密的朋友——事實上,如此親密,演員開玩笑說他們的友誼可能已經(jīng)超越了柏拉圖式的界限。
At Kravitz’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, the Malcolm X star honored his longtime friend with a speech revolving around the meaning of “friendship,” literally. “I looked it up, Webster’s,” Washington said. “A person who one knows, and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual relations.” Washington paused and glanced at Kravitz, and cheekily continued, “Well…” jokingly suggesting that their friendship might have crossed a line or two. The audience (and Washington and Kravitz) erupted into laughter.
在克拉維茨的好萊塢星光大道儀式上,這位馬爾科姆·X明星圍繞“友誼”的字面意義發(fā)表了演講,向他的老朋友致敬。“我在韋氏詞典上查了一下,”華盛頓說。"認識的人,與他有感情紐帶,通常不包括性關(guān)系。"華盛頓停頓了一下,看了克拉維茨一眼,然后厚顏無恥地接著說:“嗯……”開玩笑地暗示他們的友誼可能已經(jīng)越過了一兩道界限。觀眾(以及華盛頓和克拉維茨)爆發(fā)出笑聲。
After the Oscar winner concluded his remarks, Steve Nissen, the president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, said, “Denzel, I have to say, I’ve been doing this for a year, and we’ve never had a speaker refer to sexual relations with the honoree. That usually happens after the ceremony, but we won’t go there.”
在這位奧斯卡獎得主結(jié)束演講后,好萊塢商會主席兼首席執(zhí)行官史蒂夫·尼森說:“丹澤爾,我不得不說,我做這個工作已經(jīng)一年了,我們從來沒有一位演講者提到過與獲獎者發(fā)生性關(guān)系。這通常發(fā)生在典禮之后,但我們不會去那里。”
Elsewhere in his speech, Washington joked about the power of Kravitz’s handshakes. “Every time I shake hands like this with Lenny, I always have my eyes open, ‘cause once he had a ring on, a thumb ring, and he busted my hand open,” he said. “He’s more than a friend, more than a brother. We’re twins, we just don’t look alike. We’ve had a close brothership friendship for… 30 years.”
在他的演講中,華盛頓還拿克拉維茨握手的力量開玩笑。“每次我和萊尼這樣握手時,我總是睜著眼睛,因為有一次他戴上了戒指,一個拇指戒指,他把我的手掰開了,”他說。“他不僅僅是一個朋友,一個兄弟。我們是雙胞胎,只是長得不像。我們有著30年的兄弟般的親密友誼。”
“We have been tied together for a long time, close friends, we are brothers,” Washington said at the end of his speech. “I love Lenny Kravitz like I’ve loved no other brother in my life. Less is more, Leonard Albert Kravitz.”
華盛頓在演講結(jié)束時說:“我們長期以來一直聯(lián)系在一起,是親密的朋友,我們是兄弟。”“我愛蘭尼·克拉維茨勝過愛我生命中的任何一個兄弟。少即是多,倫納德·阿爾伯特·克拉維茨。”
