个人情况

被称为美国最伟大的喜剧演员的罗宾·威廉姆斯因为经济困难和抑郁症折磨自杀身亡。威廉姆斯为了给前妻支付高额赡养费用尽积蓄,为了筹款,他不得不卖掉自己的庄园。
Robin Williams was found hanged after telling friends he had “serious money troubles” and had sought treatment for depression in the weeks before his death, it was reported.
据报道,罗宾·威廉姆斯在死之前,曾为抑郁症寻求治疗,在告知朋友自己有“严重的债务危机”之后,他被发现在家中自缢身亡。
The 63-year-old actor, who was once considered to be worth £75 million, had complained of losing a large amount of his fortune in alimony (赡养费) payments to his two former wives, and had been trying to sell his 600-acre farm in California to raise much-needed funds.
这位曾经被认为价值 7500 万英镑的 63 岁演员,曾抱怨为了支付两位前妻赡养费而失去了大部分财产,并试图卖掉他位于加尼福尼亚州的 600 英亩的农场,以筹集迫切需要的资金。
Police said Williams had been found dead in a bedroom at his home, and had cut his left wrist several times with a penknife before dying of asphyxiation (窒息) .
警察称,威廉姆斯被发现死于家中的卧室内,在死于窒息前,他用小刀无数次割破左手腕。
According to a family friend quoted by the US website Radar Online: “All he could talk about were serious money troubles…Robin was known for being so generous to his friends and family during the height of his success, and would help anyone out that needed it. There was also frustration that Robin expressed at having to take television and movie roles he didn’t want to take, but had to for the pay cheque.”
美国网站雷达在线援引他的一位家族朋友的话称,“他所谈论的全是关于严重的债务危机 … 大家都知道,罗宾在事业高峰期,一直对他的朋友和家人非常大方,他还会帮助任何需要帮助的人。罗宾也曾表达了他必须为了支票,而接受不喜欢的电视或电影角色的挫败感。
A friend of 30 years who saw him at dinner this week said “something did not seem right”, though he added that the actor was known to suffer from mood swings.
一位与他交情达 30 年之久,在本周晚宴中见过他的朋友说“一些事似乎不对劲”,他补充道,尽管大家知道这位演员情绪有些波动。
Stellan Skarsgard, who appeared with him in the Oscar-winning Good Will Hunting in 1997, said: “People take their own lives for many different reasons, and it's not unusual among comedians that the comedy is a way of keeping away from the darkness . That may have been the case with him."
与他一同参演奥斯卡获奖电影《心灵捕手》 的演员斯特兰 · 斯卡斯加德说:“ 人们因为很多不同原因自杀,而对于喜剧演员来说,最平常不过的是用演喜剧的方式来远离内心阴郁。或许他就是这样的。”
Williams’s close friend and fellow comic actor Chevy Chase said: “Robin and I were great friends, suffering from the same little-known disease: depression. I never could have expected this ending to his life…I cannot believe this. I am overcome with sorrow.”
威廉姆斯的密友兼同事,喜剧演员 切维 · 切斯说:“罗宾和我是好朋友,我们都患有相同的、鲜为人知的疾病:抑郁症。我从未想过这竟然要了他的命 … 我无法相信这一切。我感到十分悲伤。”
