Jerry West was a fresh-faced rookie with a crew cut the last time anything like this happened. 在湖人上一次遇到这种状况的时候，当时的Jerry West还是个理着平头进入NBA的新人而 已。 The Lakers are leaving town for a while, a long while actually, 15 days and nine games on an 8,713-mile journey that will take them through more than half the Eastern Conference. 湖人即将要离开洛杉矶一阵子了，而且是好一阵子，总共15天的时间。他们将进行横越半 个美东地区的旅行，里程数共8,713英哩的九场客场之旅。 It is the Lakers' longest trip since 1960-61, their first season in Los Angeles, but that 10-game trip was broken up near its midpoint when the team returned home for several days before Christmas. 这也是湖人继1960-61球季以来最长的客场之旅，而当时是湖人的第一个NBA球季。不过当 时的客场十连战中间，因为他们要回家庆祝耶诞节的关系，所以中间有终止一段时间。 There will be no break for the current Lakers, beginning tonight against Detroit. If they don't know each other well enough now, they presumably will by the time they return. 而这次湖人的客场之旅，中间没有任何的回家时间，而且从明早对活塞比赛就开启。而如 果他们还不了解这状况有多艰辛的话，等到他们回家的时候，他们就会了解了。 "I don't think we have much of a choice," guard Derek Fisher said, smiling. "Over two weeks, I think we will have spent quite a bit of time together. Hopefully on the court, it'll show." Fisher笑着说，"我认为我们别无选择，有超过两周的时间，我想我们可能会有比较多的 时间聚在一起。而希望会是在场上，接下来就会知道了。" The trip starts with a flurry against three teams with winning records -- Detroit, Toronto, Washington -- and ends with a whisper against three teams with losing records, Miami, Charlotte, and Minnesota. In between is a mixture of the bad (New Jersey, Atlanta) and good (Orlando). 这次的客场之旅的开启就要面对艰辛的对手---前三场是活塞、暴龙、巫师。最後结束则 稍微轻松些--分别是胜率低於五成的热火、山猫、灰狼。而中途则是分别面对战绩稍差的 篮网和老鹰，以及实力坚强的魔术。 There will be three sets of back-to-back games, a challenge for any team in a condensed period away from home. In a minor break, five of the trip's nine games are against teams with under-.500 records. 这中间还包含三场back-to-back的组合，无论对哪支球队来说，在客场这麽密集的出赛都 是一大挑战。不过稍微好一点点的是，九客场的对手，有五支球队胜率低於五成。 The main reason for the time away is the annual Grammy Awards at Staples Center, although the league decided last summer to tack on an extra game or two beyond the time the Lakers typically leave town in late January and early February. 而这次湖人要离开家里比赛的主要原因就是，一年一度的葛莱美奖将在这期间於Staples Center举行，虽然去年夏天联盟早就决定要在湖人往年一月底二月初的客场之旅多加上一 到两场赛事。 The Lakers are wounded these days, seemingly losing players and games at the same pace, but Kobe Bryant didn't flinch when asked about the laborious path over the next couple of weeks. 而湖人最近则是感到很受伤，主要还是因为他们失去一些队友的助阵以及最近球赛打得并 不顺畅，不过Kobe Bryant被问到未来两周艰困赛程时，他表示他并不畏惧。 "Everybody's talking about this road trip like we're going to drop, like, nine straight," he said earlier this week. "It's ridiculous, you know what I mean? Like it's Murderers' Row. I'm not too concerned." 他在本周稍早时就表示，"大家谈到我们这次的客场之旅时，彷佛我们会连输九场一样。 这未免太荒谬了，你知道我的意思吗？讲得好像[棒球场上的谋杀案]一样(注)。对此我 并不在意。" 注：[棒球场上的谋杀案]是一系列和棒球有关的小说，主要以一九二七年纽约洋基超级豪华 打线的概念，找来小说界的「杀手连线」(Murderers’Row)，名单一字排开，都有「一棒击 沈对手」的恐怖战力。意指这次的对手好像个个都是杀手一样。 The roll call of the injured: Andrew Bynum (knee) and Trevor Ariza (foot) won't accompany the team; Chris Mihm (ankle, heel) went with the team Wednesday, but won't play until the end of the trip, at the earliest; Luke Walton also went with the team, but is day-to-day because of a right hip pointer; and Lamar Odom has a bruised left shin after being kicked in Tuesday's game against New York (X-rays and an MRI exam were negative, and he is expected to play tonight). 接着我们来点名一下伤兵吧：Andrew Bynum(膝盖)、Trevor Ariza(脚掌)不会随队观光， Chris Mihm(脚踝、脚後跟)在今天会随队，但可能九场比赛都不会上场，Luke Walton也会 跟着球队，但因为臀部的伤势，所以是day-to-day的状况，Lamar Odom族是在尼克比赛中 稍微伤到了左小腿，不过X光和MRI检查都显示阴性的结果，所以明天他应该会上场比赛。 Healthy or otherwise, the Lakers are putting a positive spin on the trek. 不过无论健康与否，湖人都会将这次艰困的客场之旅用正面的角度来看。 "I do think there will be a lot of postgame dinners and obviously a lot of plane rides and bus rides where we'll get opportunities to talk and really focus in on what happened in the game that night," Fisher said. "We'll get quite a bit of time to do that on this trip." Fisher表示，"我认为我们会有很多赛後的晚餐时间，很明显的也会有很多坐飞机和巴士的 机会，而在那上面我们将会有很多时间可以讨论，以及真正专注於当晚比赛到底表现得如 何。我们会在这次的客场之旅花很多时间在这个之上。" Jordan Farmar was selected to take part in the rookie-sophomore challenge Feb. 15 in New Orleans, part of All-Star weekend festivities. . . . DJ Mbenga traveled with the team to Detroit, an indicator he would be signed to another 10-day contract. . . . Knicks forward Renaldo Balkman was suspended by the league for one game because he elbowed Sasha Vujacic in the jaw in Tuesday's game. Jordan Farmar被选为这次於2/15在纽奥良举行的新秀-二年级挑战赛的成员之一。 DJ Mbenga将随队到底特律去比赛，这也意味着他将获得第二份10-day的合约。 尼克前锋Renaldo Balkman则是因为在昨天比赛中给了Sasha Vujacic一记晒衣锁，所以将 被联盟判处禁赛一场的处分。 --
