副標;This basketball player is passionate about his cars and is always on the
lookout for the next great one
Sasha Vujacic is definitely not your typical pro basketball player. He grew
up in Maribor, a small city in Slovenia, and never even saw a live National
Basketball Association game until he put on a Los Angeles Lakers uniform.
And instead of living in a raucous bachelor pad in an exotic neighborhood, he
shares a rambling ranch house with his parents, brother and sister on a quiet
L.A. residential street. That is until he gets out the car keys.
殺殺毫無疑問的並非是一般傳統想像的藍球員。他生長在斯洛伐尼亞的一個小城市Maribor
裡,而且在他穿上湖人球衣前,從未看過一場live的NBA球賽。跟一般球員通常住在喧鬧地
區的單身公寓裡,但他卻是與他父母及兄弟姊妹住在洛杉磯住宅區的一處安靜的休閒農場
的屋子。這種生活一直持續到他有了車鑰匙為止。
While owning a Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz or Audi, or even one of each, is
not that atypical of pro athletes, Vujacic s cars are unique in that he likes
the factory look, rather than adding paint and big shiny wheels. It s also a
pretty impressive collection of machinery for a guy who didn t even have a
driver s license until he came to this country when the Lakers drafted him in
2004.
一個出色的運動員隨便配置一台藍寶基尼、賓士或是奧迪車其實是很正常的事,不過比起
在車子搞一些漂亮的烤漆或是閃亮的輪胎,殺殺反倒是獨鐘於出廠時的原始車款。這種對
汽車的收藏,對於直到2004年被選進NBA才拿到駕照的人來講,確實是一個很有趣的事情。
The only goal I had growing up was to make it to the NBA, says the lanky
6-foot-7-inch, 195-pound 23-year-old who turns 24 on March 8.
這位6-7高、195磅,到3/8即將滿24歲的帥哥說,我成長的唯一目標,就是可以在NBA立足
。
Sasha s mother was a professional volleyball player in the region of
Yugoslavia now known as Slovenia, so sports was a way of life growing up in
school.
殺殺的母親以前是南斯拉夫(現在的斯洛伐尼亞)專業的排球選手,所以在學期間,運動一
直都是成長的一部份。
At age 15, Vujacic moved to Italy and began his professional basketball
career a year later. Being in Italy also sparked his interest in automobiles.
15歲時,殺殺搬到了義大利,並且在一年後開啟了他的籃球生涯。不過在義大利時,也開
啟了他對汽車的熱愛。
I had an older friend at home who had a Ferrari and I saw how everybody acted
around him when they saw his car, but I started to notice cars, like Alfa
Romeos and Audis, when I moved to Italy. I was fascinated by the whole science
of the automobile, but I had no license, so I could only imagine what it would
be like to drive. Then I came [to California] and it s my life.
我在家鄉時有一個老朋友有一台法拉利,而且我也發現當人們看到他的車時是如何的流口
水。但我直到搬到義大利後,才開始注意類似愛快羅蜜歐或奧迪這類車子。我深深被這種
高科技的車款而著迷,但我沒有駕照,所以我只能想像自己開車的帥樣。然後我就來到加
州,過現在的生活。(沒有駕照就能買名車-_-)
I think every car has it s own heart, something unique that s the Audi and
not the Mercedes, and that makes the Mercedes different from a Ferrari. It s
amazing, only I have to slow down. I have too many [speeding] tickets. I want
to be a good citizen and respect all the laws.
我認為每輛車都有他的特別,例如有些是奧迪所特有,所以他是奧迪而不是賓士,有些東
西也讓賓士和法拉利截然不同。開車真的很爽,只是我可能要做的就是開慢些。因為我吃
過太多超速罰單了XD。我只想乖乖的當個好市民,然後遵守所有法律。
That s pretty tough to do when his latest additions are a V10-powered Audi S8
sedan and a Lamborghini LP640.
不過他現在又添加了V10-powered Audi S8轎車以及Lamborghini LP640後,看來不為國家
多貢獻些罰單會稍微困難點。
I have had my Mercedes CLS 550 about a year and it is beautiful and very
fast. But now I have the Audi S8 and it is a beast. It goes like a rocket.
Every European has to have an Audi because it is one of the best cars in the
world.
我擁有Mercedes CLS 550差不多有一年了,而且她很漂亮也很快。但我現在又有了奧迪S8
,而且他簡直是巨獸。他開起來就像一台火箭,每個歐洲人都應該要有一輛奧迪車,因為
他是世界上最棒的車款之一。(林老師咧,每個人都買得起咩= =)
When he was in Europe, Vujacic developed an interest in Formula One racing;
he rooted for Ferrari because of Michael Schumacher.
當他在歐洲時,殺殺培養了看F1賽車的興趣,他因為舒馬克的關係而對F1深深著迷。
F1 is unbelievable. Everybody would wear red in Italy to root for Schumacher.
He s a tremendous driver.
F1非常的不可思議,每個住在義大利的人都會穿上紅衣服為舒馬克吶喊。他是一個偉大的
車手。
So why was Vujacic taking delivery of a Lamborghini the day he met with
Celebrity Car? I just love it because it looks like a spaceship. I want to
kiss it every time I get inside, he jokes.
所以,為何殺殺仍在Celebrity Car那天又購入了藍寶基尼?我就是愛他!因為他看起來像
太空梭一樣。我想在"進入她"時的每一次都親吻她(真色)。
