When it came time to make his comeback, he had lost his fitness, his touch and all hope of signing a professional contract in his native country. 他十五岁前待在川崎前锋(若有翻错请通J联盟的版友指证)的青训系统中，可惜遭受到 一次疲劳性骨折休养了十个月之後，当时找不回他的体能以及对抗性，也因此获得职业 合同的梦宣告破碎。 Then a friend of Kimura’s turned him onto the USA and collegiate soccer. He did two weeks of research and contacted more than 30 colleges, but he was turned down when coaches found out he didn't speak English. 一位他的朋友带他向美国足球叩关。他花了两周的时间研究并且接触了超过三十间大学， 但当那些教练知道他不会讲英文时，就拒绝了他 “When I told them I couldn’t speak English but I was trying to get there, they said, ‘This guy can’t speak English, how can he even take a class?’” Kimura said. 木村说:"当我告诉那些人我不会讲英文但我想帮你们踢球时，那些人说""你这家伙连英文 都不会讲，更不用说读大学了""" This was an obstacle he was not going to let defeat him. 木村并未被这件事情击倒 “I didn’t play soccer for seven months,” Kimura said. “I put myself to study English 10 to 12 hours every day and I slept four to five hours every day. But it worked out and I finally made it to college.” 他用了七个月的时间不碰足球，每天十到十二个小时置身学习英文的环境，一天只睡 四，五个小时。最终他终於如愿以偿进入美国的大学。 From Western Illinois University, Kimura was not deemed good enough to be a SuperDraft pick and was only the Rapids’ second-to-last pick in the 2007 Supplemental Draft. He had to battle on Rapids reserve squads before finally becoming a starter. 在西依利诺大学，木村的表现并未好到可以在MLS 2007年的超级选秀上被选中，而多亏 该年又举办一次增补选秀，他才在倒数第二个名额被科罗拉多选走。他一开始必须在预 备队中与人竞争，最终才成为一线队的先发。 最後几段是叙述他如何的努力 在这边就不翻了 --
