不知道翻的好不好, 有錯的地方還請大家多多指教 ※ 引述《piercepaul (大輸家)》之銘言： : I guess the obvious question is, "Why am I doing this?" 我猜很多人會問我, "為什麼你把Boston視為你的家?" : I've put a lot out there about myself for Celtics fans and for Paul Pierce : fans in the past. You all know who I am as a basketball player and a Boston : Celtic. : But for me, blogging is going to give me a chance to let other people get to : know me even better, which is what I really want. When I'm done with this : game I want people to know more about Paul Pierce as a person than just as a : basketball player. 過去我在這裡為Celtics迷與Pierce迷在Blog上寫了很多文章人們大都知道身為一個籃球員與Celtics的一員, 我做了什麼但對我來說, 寫這些文章也將讓人們更了解我, 而這也是我真正想要的當我結束了這職業生涯, 我希望人們能夠更了解身為普通人的Pierce, 而不是只了解身為籃球員的Pierce : When I retire I don't want people to just talk about my accomplishments on : the court. When I'm done playing I want them to really know about me, about : my life and what I do to make a difference in my community and the positive : impact I try to have on other people. 當我退休之後, 我希望人們不僅僅是討論我在球場上所締造的成就我希望人們能夠真正的了解我所有的一切不管是我的生活, 我對這社會造成的改變, 甚或是我試著帶給其他人的正面影響 : I've been in Boston for 12 years. At this point, I probably know this city : better than where I grew up in Inglewood, Calif. I've been here so long. (It : took me like 6-7 years to really learn this city with all these rotaries, but : hey ... ). 我在Boston Celtics待了十二年以現在而言, 我可能了解Boston比我長大的地方更多 (後面這句我不太會....) : Now I feel like Boston is MY city. I have embraced it and I love it. : I still remember the day I got drafted. In my mind, there was no way I was : ending up in Boston. I had only worked out for the top five teams in the NBA : Draft that year. But on draft night I slipped to 10. 對我來說, Boston就像是我的城市, 這些日子來我一直深愛著她我還記得我被Boston Celtics選到的那天我告訴自己, 我絕不會一直待在Boston Celtics 我這些年來的努力都是為了進NBA前五強的球隊但在選秀會那天, 我掉到了第十順位 : When Boston called my name, I felt so many mixed emotions. At first, I was : kind of upset that I went to Boston -- don't forget now, growing up as a : Lakers fan in LA, this was a team that I hated! Then I remember seeing how : Scott, a close friend of mine, who I consider an uncle/father, reacted to the : news. He just started clapping and said. "That's right! This is where we : wanted to be!" 當Boston Celtics選到我, 我的情緒是相當複雜的從小身為一個LA Lakers的球迷, Boston Celtics是我討厭的球隊這使我剛到Boston的時候有點難過, 這感覺我一直到現在我都還記得但我記得後來Scott,我的好友, 同時也是帶我成長的人, 看到這消息的反應他開始鼓掌並對我說: "這就對了! Boston Celtics就是我們要去的球隊!" : So I thought, "You know what. You're absolutely right." These other teams : didn't want me and this was the team that did want me. I wanted to be : somewhere with a team that wanted me. And my dream to be in the NBA was just : realized. Plus all those banners and trophies certainly didn't hurt! 所以我開始覺得 "嘿! Scott你說的對!" 其他隊伍不要我, 但Boston Celtics卻是支確實需要我的球隊我希望能夠加入這真正需要我的球隊, 這球隊實現了我加入NBA的夢想, 加上它過往的歷史榮耀這選擇看起來還不壞! : I remember a couple years ago -- the summer I signed an extension -- I was : talking with my mom and my brother about the possibility of going to play in : other cities, maybe trying to win somewhere else. It was something that I was : always talking about with the people closest to me. And it was crazy because : my mom said to me, "You've already started building something special over : there in Boston." 然後前幾年, 就像我以前跟好友討論的我開始與我家人討論去其他球隊打球的可能性, 也許是其他能夠贏球的球隊這是個瘋狂的選擇, 因為就如同我母親說的 "你才正要開始在Boston這地方打造一些特殊的成就呢!" : I had great friends here, knew the restaurants, the hotels, the club owners. : I was really comfortable, you get so used to it. When I moved from Oakland to : LA -- I think I was 8 or 9 years old -- and it was traumatic because I : thought I lost everything I knew, all my friends all the relationships I had : built. It's like you're starting over, and you think about that. : She said, "The grass ain't always greener on the other side." : And everybody says it, but when you think about it, just because you go : somewhere else, that doesn't mean that things are going to be better. She was : just reminding me how I built something in Boston and how I should ride it : out. 我在這有許多好朋友, 而且對這城市也瞭若指掌, 我真的很習慣這城市了! 就像我大概八歲的時候從Oakland搬到LA, 我很難過, 因為我覺得我失去了我的朋友, 我的一切這就像一切全部都從頭開始她說: "別的地方不一定比較好" (這句話好難翻的很漂亮..) 的確, 就算到了別的地方, 也不代表一切都會好轉我知道她在提醒我, 我在Boston這地方如何造就了這一切, 而我又該如何克服這些負面情緒 : That made me change my whole attitude about the situation. I was a captain of : the team. I was making the All-Star team. She said to me, "Make change there. : You're going to have your ups and downs, but it's going to turn around : eventually. You be the one to make change!" : And she was right. 這讓我對於現狀的態度全然改變了身為Boston Celtics的隊長, 我正在打造一個明星球隊她也告訴我: "努力改變這一切, 你的人生會有起有落" "但最後一切終將改變, 而且你就會是改變這一切的人" 她想她是對的 : I'm so glad I was able to sign an extension that year. I was so close to : testing free agency. And then I just knew I was here to stay, that Boston is : my city and I love it. 我很高興自己在那年最後還是放棄了成為自由球員的決定並且與Boston Celtics續約而且我也了解到我就該留在這裡, Boston是我的城市, 而且我深愛著她 : It's funny because I asked Kevin (Garnett) where he wants his number retired. : He's going to be one of the greatest players to ever play this game. He : started in Minnesota. He won his championship in Boston. The same thing with : Ray. He spent so many years in Milwaukee. : And it's like where do you want to be remembered? Garnett跟Allen都是NBA內頂尖的球員他們分別從Minnesota跟Milwaukee開始他們的球員生涯在征戰多年後他們轉到了Boston Celtics並且拿到了冠軍於是我問他們, 你想要你的號碼在哪裡退休? 這是個很有趣的問題 : I've been in an amazing position to say that I'm going to be linked 100 : percent to the Boston Celtics. : To say that I've played with only one franchise, and accomplished what we : have, it's almost like a miracle. You don't see that any more. You don't see : the same players staying with the same team like that. I'm a true follower of : the game and only five guys have played for one team for 10-plus years, : especially in the last 10. There's Tim, Kobe, Ilgauskas, Nowitzki, and me. : You're always going to associate Kobe with the Lakers. You're always going to : associate Timmy with San Antonio. Those guys won championships for their : teams and they've been there their whole career. 我很高興的說, 我的體內流著100% Boston Celtics的綠血我只為Boston Celtics打過球, 並且成就了現在有的一切這就像一個奇蹟, 我是這球隊的忠實信徒你很難發現有球員像我一樣待在同一個球隊超過十年尤其在最近十年, 只有五位球員有這成就分別是Tim, Kobe, Ilgauskas, Nowitzki跟我人們總是將湖人隊跟Kobe畫上等號, 將Tim Duncan視為馬刺隊代表他們都為他們的球隊奉獻上整個職業生涯並且獲得了總冠軍 : You look around the league and see a lot of great players. You have some Hall : of Famers that have been on multiple teams and you think at the end of the : day, which team do they represent? And I can definitely say I am a Boston : Celtic through and through. When people look back at my career they're going : to identify me with one team. : Boston is definitely home. 環顧整個NBA聯盟這裡有很多偉大的球員, 其中不乏名人堂的成員這些球員不止為一個球隊效力過總有一天, 人們想起他們時, 總會思考他們究竟代表NBA的哪一隊? 但我, Pierce, 絕對可以驕傲的說我從頭到尾都屬於Boston Celtics 當人們回顧我的職業生涯, 他們只會看到我穿著Boston Celtics的制服所以, 這裡就是我的家! : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ : 回頭看了看自己的翻譯感覺有點糟糕 : 很怕翻了破壞文章的美感所以想說貼這篇讓專業的板友來翻 : 然後丹丹缺席的時間好像要延長... 我回頭看一看, 也發現好像有些地方很糟糕不過想說都打很久了, 還是把它貼出來希望大家多多指教也對原PO致上最高的敬意, Ubuntu!! -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.169.18.236
