今天被电爆之後再看这一篇特别有感觉 小弟试着翻译一下，如果有错请大家不吝指教，谢谢 Bryant is being pushed to brink It was the darkest moment of a quarter blackened with shame. 这是在这一节中蒙着耻辱，最黑暗的一个时刻 With 4:32 left in the second quarter Tuesday, Kobe Bryant drove through three Phoenix Suns before being fouled in front of the basket. 在第二节还剩4分32秒时，Kobe绕过三个太阳的防守者，然後在篮下被犯规。 It was the kind of tough play the Lakers had been avoiding. It was the sort of effort the Lakers had been missing. 这是湖人一直在避免的tough play，这也是湖人一直缺乏的努力。 Yet as Bryant walked to the foul line, he walked alone. 但当Kobe走向罚球线时，他是一个人走去的。 No teammate slapped his hand. No teammate patted his back. No teammate even behaved remotely like a teammate. 没有队友向他击掌。没有队友去拍拍他的背。更没有队友表现出队友的样子。 Not only didn't the Lakers seem to care about the Phoenix Suns, they didn't seem to care about each other. 湖人看起来不但不在意他们的对手太阳，他们好像也不在意彼此。 And after their awful 126-98 loss to the Suns in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs, falling behind two games to none with no hope in sight, you have to wonder. 当他们在第一轮第二场球赛以126-98惨败给太阳，落入了0-2的绝境後 你会想知道一些事情。 With the Lakers seemingly destined to be sent home without a playoff series win for the third consecutive year since the departure of Superman, where does this leave Wonder Boy? 在那个"超人"离开之後，湖人连续三年没办法在季後赛赢得任何一个系列似乎已成事实 (注:where does this leave Wonder Boy? 这句不晓得怎麽翻 囧) After three years of wondering what the Lakers are going to do with Kobe Bryant, maybe everyone has been wondering the wrong thing. 思考了三年"湖人和Kobe到底有什麽关系"之後，也许大家是不是都想错了。 What is Kobe Bryant going to do with the Lakers? "Kobe Bryant和湖人是什麽样的关系?" With the window closing quickly on his chance to win a championship without Shaquille O'Neal, the prematurely aging Bryant must surely ponder jumping out before he spends the rest of his career with his nose pressed longingly to the glass. 没有Shaq之後，拿到冠军的机会越来越小，年纪越来越大的Kobe绝对会在他剩下的篮球 生涯中试着突破困境。 How much longer can Bryant stand to be a Laker? Kobe还可以当多久的湖人? The horrific second quarter Tuesday at the US Airways Center was the perfect example of how the only thing more amazing than his ability is his patience. 在美国航空中心恐怖的第二节证明了他的耐心是比他拥有的能力还要惊人的。 How much more can Bryant take? 但他还可以忍耐多久? In the second quarter in Game 1, he was subtly poked by Coach Phil Jackson for taking eight shots and scoring 15 points and exhausting himself too soon. 在G1的第二节，Phil稍稍的指示他(要多投篮)，结果Kobe投了八球得到15分 而且太快的让自己疲劳。 "That's what we would have liked to see at the end of the game," Jackson said. Phil说:我们比较希望看到那是在比赛快结束时发生。 So in the second quarter Tuesday, what did Bryant do? He took one shot. He had two assists. He scored four points. And what happened? 所以G2的第二节，Kobe做了什麽? 他只投一次篮得了四分，有两个助攻? 结果呢? The Lakers were outscored, 37-22, it cost them the game, and Bryant was left with 15 meaningless points, a needlessly sprained ankle and a huge scowl. 湖人的分数遥遥被太阳摆到後面:37-22，而且因为这样而输了比赛。Kobe整场得了 影响不大的15分，还扭伤了不需要扭伤的脚踝，还有一个很不高兴的臭脸。 "They played harder than we did," he said, later adding, "It's not like we have the best talent in the league, so we really have to pride ourselves on playing hard all the time. All the time." Kobe说:他们打得比我们还拼，我们不是联盟中最具天份的球队，我们必须对自己更有 信心，而且每分每秒都要打得很认真，一直都要。 Right about now, those who believe that Bryant engineered the trade of O'Neal are clucking about making beds and sleeping in them. 目前为止，那些相信是Kobe促成Shaq交易的那些人，目前正在clucking about making beds and sleeping in them(不知怎麽翻...) But first, although Bryant might have wanted the deal, it was made by Jerry Buss. 但首先要注意，虽然Kobe有可能要求这个交易，但交易的决定权是在Jerry Buss的手上 And, second, no superstar should be forced to sleep in a bed this disheveled 再来，没有一个超级巨星在这种情况不会有反应的。 At one point in the second quarter, the Lakers fielded a team of Shammond Williams, Sasha Vujacic, Maurice Evans, Brian Cook and Lamar Odom. 在第二节湖人一度在场上摆上Shammond Williams, Sasha Vujacic, Maurice Evans, Brian Cook和Lamar Odom这样的阵容。 Although Bryant missed his only shot of the quarter, the other Lakers were six for 20. 虽然Kobe在第二节一投不中，但其他队友是20投6中。 And nobody played defense. 而且没人在防守。 For the Suns, it was layup after dunk. It was as if the Suns were running sprints and the Lakers were running for the bus. 太阳是一个上篮接着一个灌篮。好像太阳在跑篮，而湖人却在追公车。 Five on four, it was. 事实上，太阳是在五打四。 Midway through the quarter, the Suns had two offensive rebounds on each of two consecutive possessions, scoring each time. 在第二节中，太阳有两次进攻时各抓了两次进攻篮板，而且两次都得分。 Moments later, Steve Nash connected on an ally-oop dunk pass to Shawn Marion from midcourt. 不久之後，Nash在中场给了Marion一个ally-oop灌篮 Five on three, it was. 这时候是五打三。 By the end of the quarter, the Suns held a 68-47 halftime lead and the game was history. 这节结束之後，太阳半场就以68-47领先，这场比赛也可以说是结束了。 By the end of the night, the Lakers' chances of even winning one game in this series approached history after Bryant rolled his ankle while playing in yet another no-win situation. 这场比赛要结束的时候，Kobe在不可能赢的的情况下上场并扭伤脚踝，而要这在这系列 中要赢的机会也即将灰飞烟灭。 What exactly was he doing in the game with 7:59 remaining and the Lakers trailing, 107-79? 在比赛剩下7:59，107-79落後，他到底在干麻(为啥还在场上)? Said Bryant: "Phil told me to go in and play, so I went in and played." Kobe:Phil告诉我上场，所以我就上了。 Said Jackson: "It wasn't that late … they still had their starters in …. I thought Kobe was out of sync and I wanted him to get in sync." Phil:比赛其实是还有机会的，他们还是摆上了他们的先发，我想Kobe已经脱离了整队 的节奏，所以我要他跟上球队的节奏。(......) So when is the Lakers' talent level going to get in sync with Bryant? Or will it ever? 那请问一下，什麽时候湖人的天份是跟得上Kobe的"节奏"的，而在未来有可能会发生吗? Earlier this week, when asked about that closing window on his career, Bryant said, "We definitely have to get to that elite level. And we have to get to that level, like, now." 在这星期稍早，Kobe被问到生涯的巅峰即将过去的问题时，他说:我们一定要达到强队 的水平，我们必须要达到，就是现在。 Never before has he sounded so impatient. And he was only getting started. 他在从前从来没有像现在这样的没耐心，而他现在慢慢的也开始了(没耐心) "It makes me frustrated," he said. "When I'm not shooting well, we struggle. And when I'm shooting, I'm doing it against three guys, and I can't get to the basket, and I have to pull up and shoot jump shots, and that takes it toll." "这真的让我很挫折，当我不能得分时，我们就会陷入困境。但当我在投篮时，我一次 要面对三个对手，我无法接近篮框，我必须拔起来做跳投，而这会付出代价" Unless the Lakers are able to get Bryant some legitimate and consistent help, that is the scenario he faces in each of his playoff games in the rest of his career as a Laker. 除非湖人们能给Kobe一些实质而且稳定的帮忙，不然以後他在湖人的季後赛同样的事情会 一再重演。 Suddenly, this week, for perhaps the first time, those prospects didn't seem so publicly appealing. 突然地在这星期，也许是第一次，未来好像不是这麽的令人感到满意。 Bryant shook his head. Kobe摇摇头 "I've won before," he said. "I want to win again." 他说:我曾经拿过胜利，我想要再赢一次!(这绝对是我认识的Kobe) Not this year. And, at this rate, maybe not in his Lakers lifetime. 但不会是今年，而且照现在看来，也不会是在湖人的日子。 One can only wonder how much longer Kobe Bryant wants that lifetime to last. 我们只能猜想，Kobe Bryant还会希望这样的日子持续多久。 (From LA Times) -- 看完之後会感觉，怎麽这麽像阿宅把不到马子那样的无力.... 这篇翻的真的有够烂，请大家该鞭就鞭，谢谢指教 --
