U.S. pop star Michael Jackson performs "We are the World" during the World Music Awards at Earl's Court in London November 15, 2006. [REUTERS] Michael Jackson gave his first public performance Wednesday since his acquittal on child molestation charges a year-and-a-half ago - a fleeting rendition of "We are the World" surrounded by youthful singers. Jackson sang at the World Music Awards in London, which was honoring him with an award commemorating the 25th anniversary of his hugely popular album, "Thriller." But the reclusive pop icon, who has been traveling in Europe since his June 2005 acquittal in California, did not perform the album title song as some expected. Instead he appeared on stage and sang among a group of swaying, clapping kids. "There have been so many people who have loved me and stood by me. I love all the fans from the bottom of my heart," Jackson said before flinging his black jacket into the crowd and exiting the stage. Earlier, Jackson's appearance outside the Earl's Court Arena in west London inspired glee and bedlam among hundreds of fans, who scrambled for photos and reached out to touch his gloved hand. Jackson, clad in black and wearing his trademark shades, also spoke briefly to journalists. But the roar of the crowd combined with the singer's own low-decibel delivery ensured few could hear anything he said. Asked where he has been living, Jackson replied: "All over the place." Jackson has spent time in Bahrain and Ireland since he was acquitted, making few public appearances. Jackson's "Thriller" album won eight Grammy Awards and sold more than 50 million copies. 点击查看更多双语新闻 (Reuters)

迈克尔·杰克逊自去年六月被宣判“猥亵儿童案”无罪以来，于本周三首次在公开场合露面并表演，他在一群年轻歌手的簇拥下演唱了一小段《天下一家》（We are the World）。 为了纪念杰克逊轰动一时的专辑《颤栗》（Thriller）面世25周年，本周三在伦敦举行的世界音乐奖颁奖典礼授予了他一项钻石大奖，杰克逊出席了典礼并登台演唱。 这位流行巨星自去年6月在加利福尼亚被宣判无罪以来，一直在欧洲旅行，很久没有露面。但在周三的颁奖典礼上，杰克逊并没有演唱专辑《颤栗》中的同名单曲，而是在一群年轻歌迷的簇拥下登台演唱了另一首歌。 杰克逊说：“一直以来，我受到很多歌迷的关爱和支持，我发自内心的爱你们。”接着，他把自己的黑色夹克扔向歌迷，然后退下舞台。 当他出现在颁奖典礼举办地伦敦西部的伯爵宫外时，在场的几百个歌迷陷入一阵“混乱”，他们抢着给杰克逊拍照，还伸出手来争着和他"握"手。 杰克逊穿着一身黑色衣服，戴着他的“招牌”墨镜，对于记者的提问也是简而答之。但歌迷的欢呼声都把杰克逊的声音盖住了，几乎没人能听见他在说什么。 记者问他这一年多都呆在什么地方，他说：“到处走。” 杰克逊自去年被宣判无罪以来一直居住在巴林和爱尔兰，很少公开露面。 杰克逊的经典专辑《颤栗》曾获得八项格莱美大奖，销量超过5000万张。 （英语点津姗姗编辑）
