Jack Newfield: He was not really built for the spotlight, he was built for the wings.

Many times, I would stand behind the stage and I would see his leg shaking during his speech, or his hands shaking, he wasn't...

Robert Kennedy: "When I think of President Kennedy, I think of what Shakespeare said in Romeo and Juliet ...

罗伯特·肯尼迪：“当我想到肯尼迪总统时，我就想到莎士比亚在《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中所说的话......

'When he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he shall make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night, And pay no worship to the garish sun.'"

As he would for the rest of his life, he reached out to his kid brother.

All through his early years he struggled just to keep up.

在他早年的岁月里，他一直在努力跟上。

Evan Thomas, Biographer: Everything was a competition, within the family and without.

埃文·托马斯，传记作者：一切都是一场竞争，无论是在家庭内部还是外部。

They still talk, at this little yacht club in Hyannis, about how the Kennedys cheated by adding more sail cloth to their boats.

在海恩尼斯的这个小游艇俱乐部里，他们仍然谈论肯尼迪家族如何通过在船上添加更多帆布来作弊。

旁白：“我们不希望这里有任何失败者，”约瑟夫·肯尼迪告诉他所有的孩子。

"In this family we want winners...

Don't come in second or third -- that doesn't count...

不要排在第二或第三——那不算数......

Win!" Bobby's father was the towering figure in his childhood.

赢了！”鲍比的父亲是他童年时期的伟人。

Joseph P.

约瑟夫·P。

Kennedy had made millions with shrewd investments in the stock market, the movies, and some say, by bootlegging liquor, but he wanted more out of life than money.

肯尼迪通过在股票市场、电影以及一些人说的私酒方面的精明投资赚了数百万美元，但他想要的生活不仅仅是金钱。

He wanted his two oldest sons -- Joe Jr. and Jack -- to win elected office.

他希望他的两个大儿子——小乔和杰克——赢得民选公职。

And even more he wanted Joe Jr. to become president someday.

更重要的是，他希望小乔有一天能成为总统。

Robert Dallek, Historian: This would give the family a kind of visibility, a kind of cache, a kind of social status that Joe Kennedy was very hungry for.

罗伯特·达莱克（Robert Dallek），历史学家：这会给这个家族带来某种可见度、一种隐秘、一种乔·肯尼迪非常渴望的社会地位。

And the children imbibed this ambition.

孩子们也吸收了这种野心。

Narrator: While Joe's attention was lavished on his two oldest boys, Bobby quietly took his place among the younger children -- the girls.

旁白：当乔的注意力集中在两个大男孩身上时，鲍比悄悄地在年幼的孩子——女孩们中间占据了自己的位置。

He was small, awkward, shy, his father described him as the family "runt." He would set out to prove he was as tough as his brothers.

他身材矮小、笨拙、害羞，他的父亲形容他是家里的“矮子”。他将开始证明自己和他的兄弟们一样坚强。

When he was only four, he dove off the family sailboat in a desperate attempt to prove he could swim ashore.

当他只有四岁的时候，他从家里的帆船上跳了下来，绝望地试图证明自己可以游上岸。

As he was going under, Joe, Jr. had to haul him out.

当他快要倒下时，小乔不得不把他拉了出来。

"It either showed a lot of guts," Jack said later, "or no sense at all."

“它要么表现出很大的勇气，”杰克后来说，“要么根本没有任何意义。”

Evan Thomas: ...and that's how Bobby got his father's attention by being the tough guy.

埃文·托马斯：……这就是鲍比通过成为硬汉而引起父亲注意的方式。

But beneath that toughness, there was always this softness and this sensitivity...he was a mama's boy, in fact his grandmother worried that he was too much of a sissy, too much of a girlie-boy, because he clung to his mother's skirts.

但在这种坚强之下，总是有这种柔软和这种敏感……他是一个妈妈的男孩，事实上，他的祖母担心他太娘娘腔，太娘娘腔，因为他紧抓着母亲的裙子。

Narrator: Rose Kennedy was a devout Catholic, and Bobby absorbed her religious intensity.

旁白：罗丝·肯尼迪是一位虔诚的天主教徒，鲍比吸收了她的宗教热情。

He made his first communion when he was 7, and went on to become an altar boy and attend a school run by Benedictine monks.

他七岁时第一次领圣餐，后来成为一名祭坛侍童，并在一所本笃会修道士开办的学校上学。

Bobby Kennedy grew up with a strong sense of right and wrong, good and evil.

鲍比·肯尼迪从小就有着强烈的是非善恶观念。

Like his brothers, he was toughened by the rigorous demands of his father, but he disguised as well, a gentler nature.

和他的兄弟们一样，他因父亲的严格要求而变得坚强，但他也隐藏着温柔的本性。

Bobby, a friend said, was "truly in touch with his emotions." He was saved by being "overlooked.' When World War II began, Bobby was in high school and chafed to get into the action -- like his two older brothers.

一位朋友说，鲍比“真正感受到了自己的情绪”。他因“被忽视”而得救。第二次世界大战开始时，鲍比正在上高中，他像他的两个哥哥一样，对参战感到恼火。

He flushed with pride when Jack became a hero -- rescuing most of his crew after his PT boat was sliced in two by a Japanese destroyer.

当杰克成为英雄时，他自豪地涨红了脸——在他的PT船被一艘日本驱逐舰切成两半后救出了他的大部分船员。

But disaster was to follow -- and determine the direction of Bobby's life.

但灾难随之而来，并决定了鲍比的人生方向。

In the summer of 1944, Joe Jr. volunteered for a near suicidal mission -- to pilot a plane loaded with dynamite toward an enemy target and then parachute to safety.

1944 年夏天，小乔自愿执行一项近乎自杀的任务——驾驶一架装载炸药的飞机飞往敌方目标，然后跳伞至安全地带。

His plane exploded before he ever got there.

他的飞机在他到达那里之前就爆炸了。

Joe Jr. was dead, along with all the hopes his father had invested in him.

小乔死了，连同他父亲寄托在他身上的所有希望也死了。

Now it would be up to Jack to realize his father's ambitions.

现在，杰克要实现他父亲的抱负了。

And it would become Bobby's role to help him.

帮助他将成为鲍比的职责。

But Bobby was young -- only 18 -- still struggling to determine his own destiny.

但鲍比还很年轻——只有 18 岁——仍在努力决定自己的命运。

In 1948, he graduated from Harvard - went on to law school, and then became the first of the Kennedy boys to settle down.

1948年，他从哈佛大学毕业，继续进入法学院，然后成为肯尼迪家族第一个定居下来的男孩。

Twenty-four years old, he married Ethel Skakel -- wealthy, outgoing, athletic, so devout she had almost become a nun.

二十四岁时，他与埃塞尔·斯卡克尔结婚——富有、性格外向、运动能力强，虔诚的她几乎成为了一名修女。

A year later, the first of his eleven children was born.

一年后，他十一个孩子中的第一个出生了。

When it came to those he loved, Bobby was tender, maternal -- but he turned a hardened face to the world.

当谈到他所爱的人时，鲍比是温柔的，充满母性的——但他对世界却变得冷酷无情。

Evan Thomas: He was particularly edgy and volatile, and I think, unhappy when he was in his early 20's.

埃文·托马斯：他特别急躁、反复无常，我想，他在 20 岁出头的时候就很不开心。

He was an angry young man, he was always getting into fistfights.

他是一个愤怒的年轻人，总是打架。

I mean his temper was about that far from the surface.

我的意思是，他的脾气与表面上相差甚远。

Narrator: In 1952, when he managed his brothers victorious run for the Senate, Robert Kennedy gained a reputation as "ruthless" ...

旁白：1952年，当罗伯特·肯尼迪带领兄弟们成功竞选参议员时，他获得了“冷酷无情”的名声……

a rude, arrogant, impatient kid.

一个粗鲁、傲慢、缺乏耐心的孩子。

But he shrugged off complaints.

但他对抱怨不屑一顾。

"I don't care if anyone around here likes me," Bobby said, "as long as they like Jack." Now with Jack in the Senate, Bobby would darken his reputation further when his father got him a job with a family friend - one of the most controversial men in America: Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy.

“我不在乎这里是否有人喜欢我，”鲍比说，“只要他们喜欢杰克就行。”现在，杰克进入了参议院，当鲍比的父亲为他找到了一位家庭朋友——美国最具争议性的人物之一——威斯康星州参议员约瑟夫·麦卡锡的工作时，他的名声进一步恶化。

McCarthy: "Any man who has been given the honor of being promoted to General, and who says, "I will protect another General who protects Communists," is not fit to wear that uniform, General!"

麦卡锡：“任何有幸晋升为将军的人，如果他说：‘我将保护另一位保护共产党人的将军’，那么他就不适合穿那套制服，将军！”

Narrator: In 1953, Bobby enlisted in McCarthy's crusade against what both men saw as the evil of communism in America.

旁白：1953 年，鲍比加入了麦卡锡的十字军东征，两人都认为美国共产主义是邪恶的。

Robert Dallek: Robert Kennedy in the 1950's was very much his father's son.

罗伯特·达莱克：20 世纪 50 年代的罗伯特·肯尼迪在很大程度上是他父亲的儿子。

His father was fiercely anti-communist.

他的父亲强烈反共。

Joe Kennedy saw Joe McCarthy as doing the Lord's work.

乔·肯尼迪认为乔·麦卡锡正在做主的工作。

Evan Thomas: History thinks of Joe McCarthy as this virulent Redbaiter, but Bobby Kennedy was a black-and-white moralist at this stage of his life.

埃文·托马斯：历史认为乔·麦卡锡是一个恶毒的红饵分子，但鲍比·肯尼迪在他生命的这个阶段是一个黑白分明的道德家。

And the Communists were the bad guys, and anybody who was against the Communists was therefore a good guy and so he liked the kind of black-and-white morality that Joe McCarthy was selling.

共产党是坏人，因此任何反对共产党的人都是好人，所以他喜欢乔·麦卡锡所推销的那种非黑即白的道德观。

Ronald Steel, Historian: What was striking about Bobby was not that he worked for Joe McCarthy so much, but rather that he admired Joe McCarthy, and became very close to Joe.

罗纳德·斯蒂尔（Ronald Steel），历史学家：鲍比的惊人之处并不是他为乔·麦卡锡工作了那么多，而是他钦佩乔·麦卡锡，并且与乔关系非常密切。

So when McCarthy was conducting his investigations into suspected Communists, Bobby enthusiastically joined in this role.

因此，当麦卡锡对共产党嫌疑人进行调查时，鲍比热情地加入了这个角色。

Narrator: Bobby worked for McCarthy for 6 months, then moved on, still grimly determined to root out evil in America.

旁白：鲍比为麦卡锡工作了六个月，然后继续前进，仍然坚定地决心铲除美国的邪恶。

Mobster 1: I decline to answer this question on the grounds that the answer might tend to incriminate me.

黑帮1：我拒绝回答这个问题，因为这个答案可能会让我入罪。

Mobster 2: I decline to answer on the ground, the answer on the begrim, tend on recriminate myself.

黑帮2：我拒绝回答，就怕回答，容易自责。

RFK: Somebody that's been as successful as you can remember how to say, "I decline to answer the question," so don't put that act on.

RFK：像你一样成功的人都记得如何说“我拒绝回答这个问题”，所以不要表现得如此。

Narrator: As chief legal counsel for what became known as the Senate Rackets Committee, Bobby began probing into labor unions and mobsters, grilling some of the toughest gangsters in America.

旁白：作为后来被称为参议院球拍委员会的首席法律顾问，鲍比开始调查工会和黑帮，盘问美国一些最厉害的黑帮。

But no one rankled him more than Jimmy Hoffa.

但没有人比吉米·霍法更让他恼火。

Hoffa was president of the Brotherhood of Teamsters, the country's largest, richest -- and one of its most corrupt unions - Bobby said he detected in Hoffa, "absolute evilness."

霍法是美国最大、最富有、也是最腐败的工会之一卡车司机兄弟会的主席，博比说他在霍法身上发现了“绝对的邪恶”。

Narrator: Bobby turned his investigation of Hoffa into a holy cause, holding hearings month after month and calling more than 1500 witnesses.

旁白：鲍比将对霍法的调查变成了一项神圣的事业，他逐月举行听证会并传唤了 1500 多名证人。

Punishing Hoffa became a crusade.

惩罚霍法变成了一场十字军东征。

Narrator: But Hoffa was contemptuous.

旁白：但是霍法很轻蔑。

He denied any wrongdoing, taunting the crusading young investigator.

他否认有任何不当行为，并嘲笑这位积极进取的年轻调查员。

Narrator: "I used to love," Hoffa said, "to bug the little bastard." Bobby could never bring Hoffa down, but his zealous efforts won him the attention of the nation's press -- much to the delight of his brother Jack, who was a member of the Senate Rackets Committee, too.

旁白：“我以前很喜欢，”霍法说，“骚扰这个小混蛋。”鲍比永远无法击败霍法，但他的热心努力为他赢得了全国媒体的关注，这让他的兄弟杰克非常高兴，杰克也是参议院球拍委员会的成员。

"Two boyish young men from Boston," wrote a reporter in Look Magazine, "have become hot tourist attractions in Washington." The Kennedys' fabulous wealth, their marriages, their glamour, all made them favorites of the picture magazines.

《Look》杂志的一位记者写道：“两个来自波士顿的孩子气的年轻人已经成为华盛顿的热门旅游景点。”肯尼迪家族的巨额财富、他们的婚姻、他们的魅力，都使他们成为图片杂志的宠儿。

"I think he found himself during the Hoffa investigation," a friend said, "For the first time in his life, Bobby was happy." But in September 1959, Bobby resigned from the Senate Rackets Committee where he had made his mark.

“我认为他在霍法调查期间找到了自己，”一位朋友说，“鲍比有生以来第一次感到高兴。”但 1959 年 9 月，鲍比辞去了他曾在参议院球拍委员会的职务。

His brother was running for president.

他的兄弟正在竞选总统。

When Jack set out to win the Democratic nomination, Bobby once again put his own ambitions aside.

当杰克着手赢得民主党提名时，鲍比再次把自己的野心放在一边。

He would do whatever it took to get his brother elected.

他会不惜一切代价让他的兄弟当选。

While Jack rose above the fray, Bobby took on the gritty day-to-day business of running the campaign, pushing his staffers to their limits, attacking Jack's opponents, becoming the campaign's dark, driving force.

当杰克摆脱困境时，鲍比则承担起竞选活动的日常事务，将他的幕僚推向极限，攻击杰克的对手，成为竞选活动的黑暗推动力。

As one journalist put it, "Whenever you see Bobby Kennedy in public with his brother, he looks as though he showed up for a rumble." By the time the Democrats met for their convention in Los Angeles, Kennedy seemed to have the nomination wrapped up.

正如一位记者所说，“每当你在公共场合看到鲍比·肯尼迪和他的兄弟时，他看起来就像是在吵闹。”当民主党在洛杉矶召开全国代表大会时，肯尼迪似乎已经完成了提名。

But Lyndon Johnson, the powerful Senate Majority Leader from Texas, set out to stop him.

但来自得克萨斯州、实力强大的参议院多数党领袖林登·约翰逊(Lyndon Johnson)开始阻止他。

Lyndon Johnson: "The person you select as your president, his judgement, the responsibility he shouldered, the weight he carries, the burden he knows, the decisions he makes may well determine whether you live as free men."

林登·约翰逊：“你选择的总统人选，他的判断，他肩负的责任，他承担的重量，他所知道的负担，他所做的决定很可能决定你是否作为自由人生活。”

Narrator: LBJ was one of America's smartest political operators, but Bobby outmaneuvered him, skillfully working the convention floor, making sure that LBJ didn't get the votes.

旁白：林登·约翰逊是美国最聪明的政治操盘手之一，但鲍比智胜了他，他巧妙地在会议厅工作，确保林登·约翰逊得不到选票。

Speaker: "Mr. Chairman, Wyoming's vote will make the majority for Senator Kennedy."

发言者：“先生。主席先生，怀俄明州的选票将为肯尼迪参议员赢得多数票。”

Narrator: John Kennedy was nominated overwhelmingly on the first ballot.

旁白：约翰·肯尼迪在第一轮投票中以压倒性优势获得提名。

Now all that was left was the choice for vice president.

现在只剩下副总统的选择了。

When he chose Lyndon Johnson, he set into motion a sequence of events that left Bobby and LBJ smoldering with resentments that would never go away.

当他选择林登·约翰逊时，他引发了一系列事件，让鲍比和林登·约翰逊心中积压着永远不会消失的怨恨。

From the very first, LBJ and Bobby detested each other.

从一开始，林登·约翰逊和鲍比就互相厌恶。

It was, as Johnson politely described it, "a matter of chemistry."

正如约翰逊礼貌地描述的那样，这是“化学反应问题”。

Nicholas Katzenbach, Assistant Attorney General: It was just oil and water.

助理司法部长尼古拉斯·卡岑巴赫：这只是石油和水。

Bobby was very moralistic.

鲍比非常有道德感。

Integrity meant everything to him.

诚信对他来说意味着一切。

And LBJ was a, was a politician.

林登·约翰逊是一位政治家。

Jeff Shesol, Historian: Robert Kennedy spoke the word politician as if it were an obscenity.

杰夫·谢索尔，历史学家：罗伯特·肯尼迪说“政客”这个词时就好像这是一个猥亵的词。

He hated the back slapping, log rolling...all of the, horse trading of politics.

他讨厌拍背、滚木头……所有政治上的讨价还价。

The sort of thing that Lyndon Johnson absolutely loved.

林登·约翰逊绝对喜欢这种东西。

Robert Dallek: Bobby dislikes Johnson intensely.

罗伯特·达莱克：鲍比非常不喜欢约翰逊。

But, Jack Kennedy is calling the shots.

但是，杰克·肯尼迪才是发号施令的人。

And what Jack Kennedy understands, is that as a Northeastern, Irish Catholic, he needs very much to get Southern votes.

杰克·肯尼迪明白，作为东北部的爱尔兰天主教徒，他非常需要获得南方的选票。

and so it becomes...

所以它就变成了...

essential to bring someone like Lyndon Johnson onto the ticket.

让像林登·约翰逊这样的人加入选票是至关重要的。

But once they let out the word that they're gonna make Lyndon Johnson the vice presidential nominee, labor and liberals in the party throw a fit.

但一旦他们宣布将让林登·约翰逊成为副总统候选人，党内的工党和自由派就会大发雷霆。

Jeff Shesol: Bobby is charged by his brother with the responsibility of talking Johnson off the ticket.

杰夫·谢索尔：鲍比被他的兄弟指控有责任说服约翰逊放弃票。

Narrator: Bobby confronted Johnson in his hotel room, and told him flatly that JFK no longer wanted him to be the vice presidential nominee.

旁白：鲍比在约翰逊的酒店房间与他对质，并直截了当地告诉他肯尼迪不再希望他成为副总统候选人。

LBJ didn't believe him.

林登·约翰逊不相信他。

Insulted, he refused to quit.

受到侮辱，他拒绝辞职。

Robert Dallek: Johnson wants to be vice president.

罗伯特·达莱克：约翰逊想成为副总统。

He's not gonna back down.

他不会退缩。

He's not gonna give up.

他不会放弃。

And he thinks that Bobby is operating without Jack's approval.

而且他认为鲍比是在没有得到杰克批准的情况下运作的。

Narrator: "Bobby's been out of touch," Jack leaked to a reporter.

旁白：“鲍比已经失去联系了，”杰克向记者透露。

"[He] doesn't know what's happening."

“[他]不知道发生了什么事。”

Jeff Shesol: Bobby is absolutely taking the fall for his brother here, and that suits John Kennedy perfectly well and Johnson has fallen for this head fake but it is absolutely inconceivable, to anybody who knew the Kennedy brothers, that Robert Kennedy would be acting on his own to split up his brother's presidential ticket, within hours of, of the deal being sealed.

杰夫·谢索尔：鲍比在这里绝对为他的兄弟承担了责任，这非常适合约翰·肯尼迪，约翰逊也被这种假象所欺骗，但对于任何认识肯尼迪兄弟的人来说，绝对不可想象的是，罗伯特·肯尼迪会在交易达成后的几个小时内，独自行动瓜分他兄弟的总统选举。

John Kennedy: "And I'm grateful finally that I can rely in the coming months on many others, on a distinguished running mate who brings unity and strength to our platform and our ticket - Lyndon Johnson."

约翰·肯尼迪：“我最终很感激，在接下来的几个月里，我可以依靠许多其他人，依靠一位杰出的竞选伙伴，他为我们的平台和选票带来了团结和力量——林登·约翰逊。”

Jeff Shesol: Lyndon Johnson will never forgive Robert Kennedy for this.

杰夫·谢索尔：林登·约翰逊永远不会原谅罗伯特·肯尼迪。

The manner of the selection of Lyndon Johnson as vice president severed the relationship between the two of them permanently, and there would be no turning back.

林登·约翰逊被选为副总统的方式，让两人的关系永久断绝，再也没有回头路了。

For the rest of his life, Johnson will say that John Kennedy offered me the vice presidency, and in the dark of night, Bobby Kennedy came downstairs to try to take it away from me.

在他的余生中，约翰逊都会说约翰·肯尼迪向我提供了副总统职位，而在漆黑的夜里，鲍比·肯尼迪下楼试图从我手中夺走这个职位。

Narrator: The election of 1960 was too close to call.

旁白：1960 年的选举势均力敌。

JFK won by only 120,000 votes - as one Kennedy aide described it, "a gnat's eyebrow." Bobby had driven himself relentlessly, and JFK was forever grateful.

肯尼迪仅以 120,000 票获胜——正如肯尼迪的一位助手所描述的那样，“微不足道”。鲍比坚持不懈地激励自己，肯尼迪永远感激不已。

"He's the hardest worker.

“他是最勤奋的工人。

He's the greatest organizer," President John Kennedy said, "easily the best man I've ever seen." As JFK prepared to assume the reigns of power, he wanted Bobby by his side and appointed his 35 year old brother Attorney General.

他是最伟大的组织者，”约翰·肯尼迪总统说道，“无疑是我见过的最好的人。”当肯尼迪准备掌权时，他希望鲍比站在他身边，并任命他 35 岁的弟弟为司法部长。

John Seiganthaler, Journalist: It was a controversial appointment.

记者 John Seiganthaler：这是一个有争议的任命。

He had never been a lawyer in a courtroom and...it was nepotism, I mean, he was the brother of the president.

他从来没有在法庭上当过律师，而且……我是说，这是裙带关系，他是总统的兄弟。

Anthony Lewis, Journalist: His experience was zero.

安东尼·刘易斯，记者：他的经验为零。

He'd been a lawyer for Senate committees, a zealot with no understanding of the terrible responsibilities of an attorney general.

他曾是参议院委员会的律师，是一位狂热分子，不了解司法部长的可怕责任。

I was appalled.

我很震惊。

I thought it was a simply awful idea.

我认为这真是一个糟糕的主意。

Narrator: Bobby surprised everyone, moving quickly to show he was more than just the president's brother.

旁白：鲍比让所有人都大吃一惊，他迅速行动以表明他不仅仅是总统的兄弟。

Narrator: Within two weeks of taking office, he became the first Attorney General ever to declare "war on crime." He proved a hard, tireless worker, and his casual, free-wheeling style was a striking departure from the formality of bureaucratic Washington.

旁白：上任两周内，他成为有史以来第一位向犯罪宣战的司法部长。事实证明，他是一位勤奋、不知疲倦的工人，他随意、随心所欲的风格与华盛顿官僚主义的拘谨风格截然不同。

Anthony Lewis: He was unlike any other attorney general I've known.

安东尼·刘易斯：他与我认识的任何其他司法部长都不一样。

总统民权事务特别助理哈里斯·沃福德：如果你看到鲍勃·肯尼迪在他的办公室打着领带，那会是一个低矮、开放的办公室，他的办公室是一个不断运转的地方，会做一些意想不到的事情，打破日程。

He was not a sit behind your desk man.
