－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ : I am about to write something I never imagined I'd ever write: : After 25 years, I have decided to leave Dream Theater....the band I founded, : led and truly loved for a quarter of a century. 我将要写些我从来没想过我会写的东西： 那就是决定在２５年後的今天...离开我亲手成立、领导、并深爱过的Dream Theater。 : To many people this will come as a complete shock, and will also likely be : misunderstood by some, but please believe me that it is not a hasty : decision...it is something I have struggled with for the last year or so.... : After having had such amazing experiences playing with Hail, Transatlantic : and Avenged Sevenfold this past year, I have sadly come to the conclusion : that I have recently had more fun and better personal relations with these : other projects than I have for a while now in Dream Theater... 对许多人来说这是很大的打击，而且也有可能会被人误解，但请相信我这绝对不是个仓促 的决定...而是在过去的一年我一直在挣扎的事情。 在与 Hail、Transatlantic 以及 Avenged Sevenfold 这一年的美好合作演奏经验下， 很不幸地我得出了：『比起在DT中长期的经验，在这些活动中，我有着更多的喜悦及更 良好的个人关系』 的这个结论...。 : Please don't misinterpret me, I love the DT guys dearly and have a long : history, friendship and bond that runs incredibly deep with them...it's just : that I think we are in serious need of a little break... : Dream Theater was always my baby...and I nurtured that baby every single day : and waking moment of my life since 1985...24/7, 365...never taking time off : from DT's never-ending responsibilites (even when the band was "off" between : cycles)...working overtime and way beyond the call of duty that most sane : people ever would do for a band... 请大家不要误解我，我深爱着DT的兄弟们，和他们有着长期的历史、友谊，并和他们有着 极为深切的关系，只是...我觉得我们现在非常需要短暂的休息...。 Dream Theater一直都是我的宝贝...，从1985年7月24日以来我每天每日、眼睛睁开的日 子我都在养育这个宝贝，一年365天全年无休地背负着DT永无止尽的责任 (即使是在乐团 休息的时间) ...超时的工作及超乎一般人对乐团的付出...。 : But I've come to the conclusion that the DT machine was starting to burn me : out...and I really needed a break from the band in order to save my : relationship with the other members and keep my DT spirit hungry and inspired. : We have been on an endless write/record/tour cycle for almost 20 years now : (of which I have overseen EVERY aspect without a break) and while a few : months apart from each other here & there over the years has been much needed : and helpful, I honestly hoped the band could simply agree with me to taking a : bit of a "hiatus" to recharge our batteries and "save me from ourselves"... : Sadly, in discussing this with the guys, they determined they do not share my : feelings and have decided to continue without me rather than take a : breather...I even offered to do some occasional work throughout 2011 against : my initial wishes, but it was not to be... 我发现这部"DT机器"快要把我燃烧殆尽...我非常需要休息，好让我挽救与团员间的关系， 并延续我对DT魂的渴望、启发。 将近20年，我们不停地持续着写作、录音、巡回演唱的循环。 我想这就是MP把DT形容成机器的原因 (其中我马不停蹄地监督着『每一个』环节) 所以我认为短暂的分离是必须且有帮助的。我真的非常希望乐团答应我，让乐团『间断』 一会儿，好让我们都可以充电一下，并让我『自我挣脱』...。 令人难过的是在与团员的讨论後，他们无法体会我的心情，且已决定在没有我的情况下继 续前进，而不愿喘息一会儿...，我甚至违背自己本意地提出在2011一起做些临时的计画， 但依然没有达成共识...。 : While it truly hurts for me to even think of a Dream Theater without Mike : Portnoy (hell, my father named the band!!), I do not want to stand in their : way...so I have decided to sacrifice myself and simply leave the band so as : to not hold them back against their wishes.... : Strangely enough, I just read an interview that I recently did that asked me : about the future of DT and I talked about "always following your heart and : being true to yourself"...sadly I must say that at this particular moment, my : heart is not with Dream Theater...and I would simply be "going through the : motions", and would honestly NOT be true to myself if I stayed for the sake : of obligation without taking the break I felt I needed. 想到没有Mike Pornoy的Dream Theater，就让我非常心痛。(搞什麽鬼，这我爸取的团名耶!!) 我不想阻碍他们...，所以我决定牺牲自己，离开乐团，不妨碍他们的意愿.... 说来奇怪，我正巧读到最近一篇关於我的访谈报导，询问我关於DT的未来，而我说：『永 远跟随自己的心，真诚对待自己。』...而我现在要说的是此时此刻我的心已不在 Dream Theater上了...，而就对此事"虚应故事"吧 如果我为了责任留下来而忽略了自己需要的休息，那我就是对自己不够真诚了。 : I wish the guys the best and hope the music and legacy we created together is : enjoyed by fans for decades to come...I am proud of every album we made, : every song we wrote and every show we played.... : I'm sorry to all the disappointed DT fans around the world...I really tried : to salvage the situation and make it work...I honestly just wanted a break : (not a split)...but happiness cannot be forced, it needs to come from : within.... : You DT fans are the greatest fans in the world and as you all know, I have : always busted my ass for you guys and I hope that you will stay with me on my : future musical journey, wherever it may lead me....(and as you all know my : work ethic, there will surely be no shortage of future MP projects!) : Sadly... : Your fearless ex-leader and drummer, : MP 真心祝福他们，希望我们的音乐和我们所一起创造的遗产，会在未来的数十年一直被歌迷 喜爱...，我为我们所制作的每张专辑、我们所写每首歌、我们所演奏的每场演出感到 骄傲...。 对失望的全世界DT歌迷，我感到非常地抱歉...，我真的试过挽回情势...，我真的只是想 要休息(不是拆夥）...，但幸福是不能强求的，而是来自内心...。 DT歌迷们，如你们所知，你们是世界上最棒的歌迷。我总是为了你们没屁股地努力不懈， 所以希望你们会在我未来的音乐旅程中跟随着我，不论未来是如何(不确定是不是这样翻)... (如你们所知的，以我的工作伦理来说，未来是不可能会有MP计划短缺的情形的!) 很遗憾地... 你那无所畏惧的 前团长 兼 股手 MP --
