After clocking over 500 movie credits, legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone finally landed Oscar gold at this year’s Academy Awards.

为超过500部电影配乐之后，传奇式意籍作曲家埃尼奥·莫里康内终于在今年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼上荣摘桂冠。

Winning for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, he stated; "There isn’t a great soundtrack without a great movie that inspires it. This is why I thank Quentin Tarantino for choosing me, as well as the producer Harvey Weinstein and the whole crew."

因为给昆丁·塔伦蒂诺的《八恶人》配乐而获奖，他说：“没有伟大的电影就没有伟大的配乐。这就是我要感谢昆丁·塔伦蒂诺选择我的原因，同时要感谢制片人哈维·韦恩斯坦和整个制作团队。”

He also thanked fellow nominees: Carter Burwell forCarol, Jóhann Jóhannsson for Sicario, Thomas Newman for Bridge of Spies, and John Williams for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.

他也感谢一同被提名的作曲家：为《卡罗尔》配乐的卡特伯·韦尔，为《边境杀手》配乐的约翰·约翰松，《间谍之桥》的托马斯·纽曼，《星球大战7：原力觉醒》的约翰·威廉姆斯。

This follows both a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for the same score, which partially utilises unused work from one of his most famous scores, for John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi The Thing.

在此之前，这部配乐分别摘取了金球奖和BAFTA英国电影学院奖，该配乐部分采用了他最为著名的作品之一——在约翰·卡朋特1982年的科幻电影《怪形》的配乐中未使用的乐章。

Morricone had previously been nominated five times for the Academy Award; for his scores to Days of Heaven(1978), The Mission (1986), The Untouchables (1987), Bugsy (1991), and Malèna (2000).

莫里康内早前5次被提名奥斯卡，包括《天堂之日》（1978），《教会》（1986），《铁面无私》（1987），《巴格西》（1991），和《西西里的美丽传说》（2000）。

However, the 87-year-old composer had received an honorary Oscar for his lifetime contribution in 2007.

然而，这位87岁高龄的作曲家于2007年获得了奥斯卡终身成就奖的荣誉。

Though several decades too late, perhaps, it’s fitting at least to see Morricone win for the genre he’s most been associated with; having scored Sergio Leone’s iconic western trilogy: A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).

虽然几十年的等待好像太长，但我们至少目睹了莫里康内因为与其最密切相伴的电影类型而获奖，这再合适不过了。他曾经为赛尔乔·莱翁内的代表性西部片三部曲《荒野大镖客》（1964），《黄昏双镖客》（1965）和《黄金三镖客》（1966）配乐。

It’s a win which will surely bring Tarantino great pleasure as well, with an original Morricone score fulfilling a real ambition within the director’s own filmography.

有莫里康内的原声配乐满足导演众多片目当中的一部野心巨制，这项奖项必然也为塔伦蒂诺带来巨大的喜悦。

Morricone had previously declined scoring Inglorious Basterds (2009), though later agreeing to provide a single, new piece for Django Unchained (2012).

莫里康内早前拒绝了为《无耻混蛋》（2009）配乐的邀请，不过后来同意为《被解救的姜戈》（2012）作一支新单曲。
