人物:蒂娜·特纳-我从未谈及的秘密(2)

 When he finished, I laid there with a swollen 1 head, thinking, "You're pregnant and you have no place to go. You really have gotten yourself into something now." 结束之后，我躺在那里，头肿了起来，心想：“你怀孕了，没地方可去。你现在可麻烦大了。”

Tina became the Revue's star, but it was Ike who pocketed the money. 蒂娜成了组合的明星，但把钱据为己有的却是艾克。

She and Ike finally married in Tijuana in 1962. As long as Ike was in down-and-dirty Tijuana, he wanted to have fun, his kind of fun. 她和艾克最终于1962年在提华纳结婚。只要艾克在又脏又乱的蒂华纳，他就想找乐子，他那种乐趣。
Guess where we went after we visited the Mexican version of a justice of the peace? To a whorehouse. On my wedding night! 猜猜我们去了墨西哥版的《和平法官》之后去了哪里？一个妓院。在我新婚之夜！
I've never, ever, told anyone this story because I was too embarrassed. Their fame grew, but Ike's abuse continued, and she felt helpless to leave. 我从来没有告诉过任何人这个故事，因为我太尴尬了。他们的名声越来越大，但艾克的虐待仍在继续，她感到无助，无法离开。
At my lowest, I convinced myself that death was my only way out. I actually tried to kill myself in 1968. I went to my doctor and told him I was having trouble sleeping. 在最低潮的时候，我相信死亡是我唯一的出路。实际上我在1968年就想自杀。我去看医生，告诉他我睡眠有问题。
Right after dinner, I took all fifty of the pills he gave me. I was unhappy when I woke up. But I came out of the darkness believing I was meant to survive. 一吃完晚饭，我就把他给我的50粒药全吃完了。我醒来时很不高兴。但我从黑暗中走出来，相信我命中注定要活下去。

She ultimately took the kids and left permanently 3, appearing on TV variety and game shows to pay the bills. 最终，她带着孩子永久离开了，上各种电视综艺节目和游戏节目，维持生活。
When Tina and Ike divorced in 1978, she recouped none of the money she'd made for Ike. I told the judge, "It's only blood money. I want nothing." 1978年蒂娜和艾克离婚时，她自己赚的钱一分也没拿到。我告诉法官，“只是血汗钱。我什么都不想要。”
I did have one request. I wanted to continue using the name "Tina Turner," which Ike owned. 我有一个要求。我想继续使用艾克拥有的“蒂娜·特纳”这个名字。
I walked out of that courtroom with the name Tina Turner and my two Jaguars 4, one from Sammy Davis, Jr. and one from Ike, and that's it. 我带着蒂娜·特纳的名字和我的两辆捷豹走出法庭，一辆是小萨米·戴维斯送的，一辆是艾克送的，仅此而已。
It seems so funny now—no money for food or rent, but two Jaguars! Considering my age, 39, my gender 5, my color, and the times we lived in, everything was strong winds against me. 现在看起来很有趣——没有钱买食物和房租，只有两辆捷豹！考虑到我39岁的年龄、性别、肤色和所处的时代，一切都对我不利。
