Robin Williams was sober but struggling with depression, anxiety and the early stages of Parkinson's disease when he died, his widow said Thursday. |
|
羅賓.威廉斯死前並未沉迷酒精毒品,但苦於對抗憂鬱、焦慮以及初期帕金森氏症,他的遺孀在週四表示。 |
|
The diagnosis of the progressive illness was "an additional fear and burden in his life," a person familiar with Williams' family told CNN on Thursday. |
|
診斷出這種漸進性疾病,「為他的人生又添加了一項額外的恐懼和負擔」,威廉斯家的一名友人在週四向 CNN 表示。 |
|
Williams was found dead in his Northern California home Monday from what investigators suspect was a suicide by hanging. |
|
威廉斯在週一被發現陳屍於他位在加州北部的家中,調查人員懷疑死因是上吊自殺。 |
|
While fans and friends have looked for answers to why the 63-year-old comedy icon would take his own life, his wife, Susan Schneider, issued a written statement about Williams' health that he had kept a secret. |
|
就在影迷與朋友探求這位六十三歲的喜劇泰斗尋死的原因之際,他的妻子蘇珊.許奈德發表了一份書面聲明,揭露了威廉斯沒有對外公開的健康狀況。 |
|
"Since his passing, all of us who loved Robin have found some solace in the tremendous outpouring of affection and admiration for him from the millions of people whose lives he touched," Schneider said. |
|
"His greatest legacy, besides his three children, is the joy and happiness he offered to others, particularly to those fighting personal battles." |
|
「自從他去世之後,千百萬曾經被他感動生命的人士表露了對他的濃厚情感與仰慕,讓深愛羅賓的我們所有人稍感慰藉,」許奈德表示:「他留給後人最了不起的遺產,除了三名子女之外,就是他帶給別人的喜悅與歡樂,特別是那些奮力對抗著個人困境的人士。」 |
|
"Robin's sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety, as well as early stages of Parkinson's disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly." |
|
「羅賓的戒癮沒有受影響,而且他也勇敢對抗自己的憂鬱、焦慮,還有初期帕金森氏症,這點他還沒準備好要公開。」 |
|
"It is our hope in the wake of Robin's tragic passing that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid." |
|
「在羅賓不幸去世之後,我們希望其他人能夠有勇氣尋求自己需要的關懷與支持來處理自己所面臨的任何難題,好讓自己不那麼害怕。」 |
|
Parkinson's disease "causes certain brain cells to die," according to the Web site of the National Institutes of Health. |
|
It is more likely to affect men than women and most often develops after age 50. |
|
帕金森氏症「會導致部分腦細胞死亡」,國家衛生院的網站指出。男性比女性容易罹患這種疾病,而且最常在五十歲以後出現。 |
