Paul Pierce: The last great Celtic http://rubyurl.com/uXZG http://rubyurl.com/onT0 July 29, 2009 ※ 先说声抱歉，这篇外电是在情况比较紧凑下翻的...... 用我三脚猫的翻译功夫土法炼钢生出来的......囧 很多地方除了原本字面上的意思，是按照我自己的理解去意译的...... (可能会错很多，误很大......XD) 欢迎高手们的大家在下面推文补上更正确的翻译！感谢^^ ----------------------------------------- Paul Pierce：最後的塞尔提克荣耀 I wish I knew how to stop time. If I could, I'd do it right now. 我好想知道该如何才能使时间停止。如果可以，我会马上这麽做。 But Father Time is a stubborn bastard. He's not stopping for anyone. So before we know it, Paul Pierce will be standing at center court at the Garden... tears in his eyes... thanking Boston fans before he, the last great Celtic, plays the last game of his career. 无奈的是时间留逝不由人，从不爲了谁伫足，然而......即使如此，Pierce仍然站在花园的 中央，泪水在他的眼眶中打转，他感谢所有的球迷，感激这里的一切，而他正是塞尔提克 最後的荣耀，将会在这里结束生涯最後一场比赛。 No, I'm not in a hurry to see him off. But the next three, four or five years will fly by. They always do. And I want to appreciate what Paul Pierce is, and has been, while he's still doing it. He's still an elite player, albeit one at the tail end of his career. Now's the time to put what he's been doing in proper perspective... not when it also serves as a reminder of his greatness. We've got a few years left to witness the last player to TRULY embody what we have come to love about this franchise. 不，我不急着替Pierce送行，在下一个三年、四年或者五年亦然，Pierce这个人 所代表的以及他目前持续在做的，难以言喻。Pierce是个很优秀的选手，而且已经 来到生涯末端，到了该有历史定位的时候，但别急着提醒他的伟大之处，我们还有 几年的时间可以见证他之所以为最後的塞尔提克荣耀。 I know there will be other guys who wear this uniform for their entire careers. Maybe a few of them will pass Pierce on some of the team's all-time lists. Some will have their numbers raised to the rafters. But none of that matters. It doesn't matter if that guy is the best player in Celtics history. He's still not going to be what Paul Pierce is now. That's because Paul is the last of them to know Red Auerbach. 我知道有不少球员至今都穿着相同球队的球衣，包括背号在内，但是这些都无损於 Pierce是塞尔提克历史上最好的球员，他不仅是作为PaulPierce的存在，他是球队历史上 红头精神的最後一任传承者。 That matters. With each passing day, Red becomes more myth than reality. He is as much a part of Celtics folklore as he is part of its history. His exploits are romanticized. His accomplishments defended, maybe a bit embellished, when stacked against people (like Phil Jackson) who have the audacity to pile up accomplishments in a different era. Red is a legend. The one and only true King of the Celtics kingdom. And Pierce was the last man he knighted. 岁月荏苒，红头超越了现实，成为传说，他是塞尔提克历史的一部份，他留下太多辉煌 的过往，将之比起Phil Jackson，那是两种截然不同的情操，除了纪录，是不可说三道四 的精神意义。红头是我们的传奇，是塞尔提克永远的领袖，而Pierce正是恰恰接过了队史 的火炬。 "He's one of my favorite kids," Red once said of Paul. "Pierce is a typical Celtics kid. All he wants to do is win." 红头曾经说过：「Paul是我最喜欢的孩子之一，他是典型的塞尔提克人，这孩子满脑子 想的只有胜利。」 I could go into the stabbing, and how he didn't miss a single game over the next two years. I could also go into his petulant stage that turned some public opinion against him. But that's just rehash. Paul's story is about more than that. It's about a guy who saw the ideal that was set by our patriarch. It's about a guy who realized he was being baptized as it was happening, and never looked back. 我可以细数Paul的琐事，诸如他的比赛缺席与上场等，还有一些舆论，但那是老调重弹 了，而Paul的故事远远不只那些。关於Paul，那是一个在历史的道路上，知所当为， 勇所当爲，而且永远不回头的男人。 "I remember the first time I came here, playing in his golf classic," Pierce once said. "And I sat down and talked to him for about an hour. I was just thinking, 'Red Auerbach is taking time to sit down and talk to me, a rookie who's unproven and hasn't done anything in the NBA. I thought that was something special. I'll remember that for the rest of my life." 「我记得我第一次到这里的时候......」Pierce说道：「我和红头交谈了一个钟头左右 ，当时我想『Red Auerbach耶！他坐在我旁边和我讲话，而我还只是个菜鸟而已！ 在NBA半点作为都还没有』这可是件很特别的事情，我这辈子都会记得。」 I'd like to think it was that hour-long talk that carried Pierce through the dark times. Even in this age of fans lamenting lost loyalty, I defy any of you to say you wouldn't have begged out of town in the post-Pitino tsunami. He might have quietly, privately, grumbled about whether his loyalty was going to be rewarded. But he never took it beyond that. I think Red had something to do with that. 我想是这段长达一小时的谈话带领Pierce从此横越了球队的黑暗。 现在的年轻球迷感叹球员不忠，换作是其他任何一位球员在球队风雨飘摇的时候也会 意志动摇，Pierce私底下也许抱怨过，但仅限於此，他并未失去塞尔提克人的风范， 这应该和红头的教诲有关系吧！ “Red always said to me, 'Your name is Paul Pierce, and just remember who you are. Understanding who you are is saying…You’re great, you have tons of confidence, and don’t ever forget that.’ And that helped me, man. Because when things weren’t going right, I thought, You’ve got to remember who you are. Don’t stray from that. Don’t let these things get you down.” Pierce说：「红头总是告诉我『你是Paul Pierce，你要记得自己是谁，你要知道你是 最好的，你要有信心，然後永远不要忘记！』就是这些话帮助我，当有什麽不对劲的 时候，我就会想起红头这番『不要忘记自己是谁』的话，千万不要忘记了！不要让 那些不对劲左右你。」 Times are better now, thankfully. Paul can go out whenever he goes out with his head held high. He's done it the right way. The Celtic way. The Red Auerbach way. It's something no other player will ever be able to say. 感谢上天，时代多麽美好，Paul现在可以昂首阔步走出去了，塞尔提克人用塞尔提克 式的、红头式的，抬头挺胸地走在塞尔提克的道路上。 是的──再也没有人可以像Paul Pierce这样子了，他是塞尔提克最後的荣耀。 # ------------------------------------ 说来也是感伤，PP是红头在塞尔提克钦点的最後一个球员了..... 就让最後一个荣耀成全下一个世代吧 历史总有翻页的时候 RONDO、PERK 加油~ --
