Chapter 7 Spider-Man
第七章 蜘蛛侠
Even with the company’s new name and newfound success, Stan had trouble explaining his latest idea to Mr. Goodman. Who would be interested in a skinny teenager who could stick to ceilings like a fly? “Spider-Man”? Didn’t Stan realize that people hated spiders?
即使有了公司的新名字和新成就，Stan也很难向古德曼解释他的最新想法。谁会对一个像苍蝇一样粘在天花板上的瘦小少年感兴趣呢?“蜘蛛侠”？难道Stan不知道人们讨厌蜘蛛吗?
Stan said he came up with the idea for Spider-Man after watching a fly climb up a wall. How about a superhero who could stick to things? Stan struggled to come up with a good name. Fly-Man or Insect-Man didn’t sound right. Then, Stan thought of Spider-Man. That could work!
Stan说，他是在看到一只苍蝇爬上一堵墙后产生了蜘蛛侠的想法。一个能坚持到底的超级英雄怎么样？Stan希望（给他）起一个好听的名字。“飞人”或“昆虫人”听起来不太对。然后，Stan想到了蜘蛛侠。可行!
He originally wanted to ask artist Jack Kirby to draw the new character, but decided that Jack’s drawings were not right. Jack made Spider-Man look too heroic, too powerful.
他最初想让美术师Jack Kirby来画这个新角色，但后来觉得Jack的画不太对，杰克让蜘蛛侠看起来太英勇，太强大了。
Spider-Man was really Peter Parker, a geeky teenager who was unsure of himself. He got pushed around in school by a football star named Flash Thompson. Then a radioactive spider bit Peter and gave him special powers. The shy boy could suddenly stick to walls and ceilings as if he had suction cups for hands. He was also super strong.
蜘蛛侠其实是彼得·帕克，一个对自己缺乏自信的极客少年。他在学校被一个叫弗莱士·汤普森的足球明星欺负过。然后，一只放射性蜘蛛咬了彼得，给了他特殊的能力。这个害羞的男孩可以突然粘在墙壁和天花板上，就像他的手有吸盘一样。他也超级强壮。
To create this new superhero, Stan found an artistic partner in Steve Ditko. Steve himself was awkward and shy and didn’t like to go to parties. He had no problem making Peter Parker different. He would not be a giant, musclebound hero. But when Peter transformed into Spider-Man, he was drawn like a classic superhero, with a new “look” and costume designed by Steve.
为了创造这个新的超级英雄，Stan找到了一个艺术伙伴史蒂夫·迪特科。史蒂夫本人既笨拙又害羞，不喜欢参加聚会。他毫不费力地让彼得·帕克与众不同。彼得·帕克不会成为一个魁梧、肌肉发达的英雄。但当他变成蜘蛛侠时，他被描绘成一个经典的超级英雄，拥有史蒂夫设计的新“形象”和服装。
Spider-Man first appeared in a comic book in June 1962, and he was the perfect character for Stan’s new approach: regular people who happen to become superheroes. The Marvel characters would have flaws and problems.
蜘蛛侠第一次出现在1962年6月的漫画书中，他是Stan的新想法中最完美的角色:那些碰巧成为超级英雄的普通人。漫威的角色会有缺点和问题。
But ultimately, they would devote themselves to fighting crime.
但最终，他们将致力于打击犯罪。
Despite Mr. Goodman’s doubts, the first comic book to feature spiderman was popular. In fact, Marvel’s new group of superheroes sold thirteen million comic books in 1962—nearly double the amount they sold the previous year!
尽管古德曼对此表示怀疑，但第一本以蜘蛛侠为主角的漫画还是很受欢迎。事实上，漫威的新超级英雄团队在1962年卖出了1300万本漫画书——几乎是前一年销量的两倍!
Stan had been part of the “Golden Age of Comics” in the 1940s. Now he was part creator of the “Silver Age,” which lasted roughly from 1956– 1970. Comic fans sometimes refer to this popular return to superheroes— and away from crime and romance stories—as the “Silver Sixties” and even “The Marvel Age.”
Stan是20世纪40年代“漫画黄金时代”的一部分。现在，他是“白银时代”的创造者之一，这一时期大约从1956年持续到1970年。漫画迷们有时把这种远离犯罪和爱情故事的超级英雄回归称为“银色60年代”，甚至是“漫威时代”。
