※ [本文转录自 Pistons 看板] 作者: kerrys (台北不是我的家) 看板: Pistons 标题: [外电] MICHAEL ROSENBERG: Artest tells kids there's no regrets 时间: Fri Aug 18 10:41:09 2006 原文出处： http://0rz.net/0c1Kf -- He needed no introduction. But he gave himself one anyway. 他根本就不需要自我介绍，但他还是简单地说了一下。 "I'm Ron Artest from New York City," he told the children from Detroit. "Feel free to ask me questions -- outside sports." 他向来自底特律的孩子们说"我是来自纽约市的阿泰，放轻松，你们有什麽问题尽管问 -- 不过仅限发问运动以外的问题。" Outside of sports. 非关运动 This is why Artest was here, at the Mathis Community Center on Detroit's northwest side: to talk about issues outside of sports. These were Artest's first public comments in the state of Michigan since the infamous brawl at the Palace of Auburn Hills in November, 2004-- that, too, was outside of sports, and it ultimately landed him five days of community service for his role. 这就是为什麽阿泰会到底特律西北边的Mathis社区活动中心这来的原因：来谈论非关 运动的事情。那是自'04年11月不名誉的奥本山大乱斗事件以来阿泰第一次在密西根州接受 公开访问，他必须花五天的时间从事社区服务。 This was Day One. 这是第一天的情形。 Artest served on a panel of men who either were role models, former criminals or both. It featured many warnings about inner-city life and dreams for the children. Snippets like: "I got arrested when I was 12 years old for taking a gun to school -- a gun I stole from my grandma." And: "I see greatness in each and every one of you. You are our future. You are royalty." And: "I sold crack when I was 13." 阿泰是一群由教导他们如何从事社区服务以及之前因为犯罪而必须从事社区服务的人 所组成的社区服务队的成员，那可以让孩子们得到许多关於社会中低阶层的生活和梦想的 警讯。例如："我12岁时就因为携带枪械到校而被捕 - 那支枪是我从祖母那偷来的。"或是츊"我在你们每个人身上看到了伟大的潜质，你们是我们的未来所冀，是高尚而尊贵的。"或 是"我13岁时就以贩卖纯古柯硷为业。" That last line came from Ron Artest of New York City. He said he sold the crack one time, then told his cousin he couldn't bring himself to do it again. (And he said the cousin, whom he identified only as "Aaron," later had his head beaten in and hasn't been the same since.) 压轴是来自纽约市的阿泰，他说他曾经卖过一次纯古柯硷，之後就告诉他表弟说他不 能再这麽做。(而他说那个他只记得叫亚伦的表弟之後被爆头，自此也无法再贩毒了。) Artest's parents separated when he was a kid. He said he was frequently in trouble after that and was suspended from school at some point every year. He straightened himself out by pouring his heart into basketball. 阿泰的父母亲在他小时候就离异了，他说在那之後他常常惹上麻烦，而且每年都会因 为某些事情而被学校禁止到校上课。後来他将全副心力放在篮球场上，藉以矫正自己不当 的言行举止。 He is now one of the best and hardest-working basketball players in the world. Of course, he still gets suspended every year. After the brawl, he was suspended for the rest of 2004-2005. He came back, swore his allegiance to the Indiana Pacers, then asked for a trade. He was suspended again. He came to Detroit as a member of the Sacramento Kings. 他现在是世界上最认真打球的篮球员之一。当然，他仍每年遭到禁赛。在奥本山大乱 斗之後，他'04-'05年球季剩下的比赛全部被禁赛。他回来後向印地安那溜马队表示说会誓 死效忠，但之後又要求球队将其交易出去。他再一次遭到禁赛，而现在他已经是沙加缅度 国王队的成员。 If this community service is supposed to be punishment for Artest, it is not. Artest, an extremely charitable fellow, loves being with kids. After the panel discussion, he jumped around on a moonwalk -- one of those big inflatable bouncy things you see at carnivals -- with several kids, then went inside to play the NBA Live video game. 如果你认为这次社区服务的活动对於阿泰来说是个惩罚，那你可就错了。阿泰是个极 度善良的家伙，而且热爱与孩子们相处。在社区服务队的讨论会後，他就跳起了月球漫步 舞 -- 你最常在嘉年华会上看到人家跳的热情舞蹈中的一种　-- 和几个孩子们一同热舞， 之後又和孩子们一起打NBA Live的电玩。 And if this is supposed to make Artest re-think his actions that Friday night in November 2004, well, forget that, too. He said he has no regrets. When one of the kids asked Artest about the brawl, he said the moral of the story was that "if you have to protect yourself, protect yourself." 而这社区服务会不会让阿泰重新思考他在'04年11月那个星期五晚上的不当行为呢？嗯 ，就别再提了。他说他完全没有悔意，当其中一个孩子问到阿泰关於大乱斗的事情时，他 表示这个故事的寓意是"如果你必须保护自己，那不用怀疑，保护好你自己就对了。" In other words... fight back? Use force? 换句话说...反击？使用武(暴)力？ Didn't Artest make that mistake at the Palace? 阿泰在奥本山大乱斗中没有犯错吗？ "I never say it was mistake," Artest said Wednesday. "Somebody started trouble, and I always say I ended it. He started it and I ended it. But I never say it was a mistake. Like I told the kids, if somebody starts trouble with you, if they're talking or if somebody hits you, you always have to protect yourself. And if you can avoid it, I will always tell somebody to avoid it." 阿泰星期三说道"我从不认为我做错了，某个人启动了混乱的情况，而我总认为我是把 事情解决的那个人。但我从不认为我做错了，就像我跟孩子们说的，如果某个人找你麻烦 ，如果他们说你坏话或有某个人攻击你，你都应该保护好你自己。而如果你能避免冲突， 我一定会告诉你尽量避免。" During the discussion, Artest drank water out of a blue plastic cup, which was appropriate. As far as he was concerned, a plastic cup caused all this -- not Artest's hard foul on Ben Wallace, or Wallace's overheated response, or Artest lying on the scorer's table, doing a radio interview as the crowd jeered, or Artest running into the stands and grabbing a fan (the wrong one, it turned out ). 在谈话之中，阿泰从一个很适合奥本山大乱斗事件的蓝色塑胶杯中喝水。就像他所想 的，是一个塑胶杯引起所有的事情 -- 而不是阿泰对於大班的恶性犯规，或大班过度反应 的回击，或阿泰躺在计分台，在球迷的讥讽声中对着镜头讲话，或阿泰冲进观众席并抓住 球迷(其实他抓错了人，真正的凶手早已经开溜了)。 He said he was on a "good path" until "somebody got in the way by the name of John Green." John Green is the guy from West Bloomfield who threw the cup. But then, in a classic slice of Ron-Ron, Artest said this: 他说他的行为都还很正常直到"某个叫做J.Green的家伙出现"，来自西花田的Green就 是那个把杯子丢向阿泰的家伙。只是，典型的阿泰流反应又出现了，阿泰说： "I like John Green. He's real. I have no problem with John Green. We've gotta go out and get some dinner sometime. I was trying to get him on my album, but I couldn't get in touch with him.... I don't have a problem with John Green. He did something real stupid, but a lot of people do stupid things. 我喜欢Green，他是个很真的人。我跟Green之间没事了，我跟他应该找机会一起出去 吃顿饭聚一聚。我还想把他加进我的专辑里，但我没办法联络上他...我跟他之间真的没事 了，他干了些真的很愚蠢的事，但大部分的人都会犯错不是？ "He's just a grown man who did something stupid." "他只是一个不小心犯错的正常人罢了。" --
