http://tinyurl.com/5juuvn The time is 3.30am in Moscow in May and Paul Scholes sits, alone, on a bus. A Champions League winner's medal hangs from his neck; proof that, at last, a life's work is complete. 时间是凌晨三点半在五月的莫斯科,斯科尔斯独自一个人坐在了巴士上,脖子上悬挂的是 欧冠冠军奖牌;斯科尔斯,了结了一桩心愿 Fifty yards away, Manchester United team-mates talk to the media. The match is won and it's time to revel in the glory. Scholes just wants to go home. 'Yeah, I was first on the bus,' reflected Scholes this week. 在五十码外,队友们正在跟媒体互动.曼联赢了比赛而这正是时候沉浸在胜利的喜悦中. 然而斯科尔斯想要回家了."没错,我是第一个上巴士的",斯科尔斯说到 'But I always am. What's the point in hanging around? I was pleased with what we'd done but didn't want to spend all night talking about it. I was at the party later. But not for long. I had the kids there. "一直以来我都是第一个,在外面逗留干嘛?"我很高兴我们赢得了比赛但是我不想花 一整晚谈论这件事情.我後来有出席庆祝party,但是没有逗留很久,我还有小孩要照顾 'You maybe think about what you have done for a day or two but then that's it, it's finished. You look forward to the start of the new season.' "你也许会在一两天内想起自己取得了哪些成就,这样就足够了.你必须为接下来的新 赛季作准备" Fast forward two months and that new season is almost upon us. Scholes sits with seven journalists in the foyer of the Beverly Hills Hotel in the Umhangla Rocks district of Durban, South Africa. 两个月很快就过去而新赛季已经在眼前.在南非,斯科尔斯与七个记者坐在 贝佛里山庄旅馆的休息室里. He doesn't want to be there. A polite but reluctant interviewee. A reluctant superstar. Scholes adores football but hates the clutter that comes with it. He expects to retire in two years and when he does you can expect him to vanish. 他并不想要被采访.一个有礼貌但并不情愿的受访者,一个不情愿的巨星. 斯科尔斯喜爱足球但是讨厌足球带来的一些东西(如采访或派对等等) 他预计在两年後退休而当他退休後他就会消失在萤光幕前 'Part of me will be glad to finish,' said Scholes. 'I can't say I can't wait to finish but I'm looking forward to finishing and everything that goes with it. The only thing I'll definitely miss is the football. The general life of a footballer, I suppose, I won't miss at all. "我心理的一部分会很高兴足球生涯已经结束了"斯科尔斯说到."我肯定不会说自己 已经迫不及待想要退役了，不过我还是希望能够将一切安排妥当之後再结束职业生涯。 退役之後我唯一怀念的就将是足球这项运动，而不是身为球员的生活方式。" 'People are just very invasive, aren't they? They are always wanting to know what you have been doing and what you're going to do. "人们总是很迫不及待的想要知道你已经做了什麽和你将要去做什麽,不是吗？" 'I'm sure I'll go to watch United. My lad Aaron is absolutely mad on Man United. But that'll be as far as it goes. I'd think I have two years left at the most. "我很确信自己将来退休後还会来观看曼联的比赛.我的小家伙Aaron很喜欢曼联, 我想我最多会在曼联再待上两年." 'At the moment I just think that would be about right. I feel OK right now and as long as I feel OK then I'll carry on. 'I'll just have to see when the time comes whether I want to carry on playing somewhere else at a lower level. I don't look that far ahead.' "现在我认为自己应该可以再踢上两年,我的身体状态还ok,而只要我感到还ok, 我就会继续踢下去.也许等曼联生涯走到尽头我会考虑要不要去低级别联赛 踢球(指的应该是Scholes小时候崇拜的奥海姆(Oldham)),但是目前 我还没考虑到这些." Fresh from a gym session (voluntary) in the hotel, Scholes looks surprisingly muscular as he sits in an armchair. 在旅馆的健身室里,斯科尔斯看起来还是保持着很好的身材 His biceps are huge and his legs powerful. It is clear that a player known for possessing one of the most intelligent minds in English football has been doing his bit to ensure his survival in a Premier League which increasingly relies on pace, power and physical strength. 他有着发达的二头肌和粗壮的腿,这些都是在当今越来越强调速度,力量和身体坚实度 的英超里想要身存的球员所不能缺少的 'There are a lot more players out there who are a lot quicker and more powerful than players were when I started,' reflected Scholes. "跟我开始踢球的年代相比,现在有更多更快更有力量的球员"斯科尔斯说到 'But you just have to keep on top of it and hopefully your football talents come out in the end. "但是你也不能落人後而且要尽力展现出自己的才华" 'You'd like to think that maybe your football intelligence comes into it and helps you to cope. After all, there's only so much running you can do. At the end of the day it's football and if you're clever enough to play then you'll find the right answers for it.' "你可能会觉得自己的能力有办法应付一切,但是足球到头来还是一个一直在跑 一直在跑的运动,如果你够聪明的话就会晓得怎麽样在这之间取得协调" Scholes' football brain and passing range remain as good as ever. He played one ball - over 50 yards on the volley - against Orlando Pirates on Wednesday that Padraig Harrington would have struggled to play with his pitching wedge. 斯科尔斯聪明的足球大脑和精准的传球度还是跟以前一样.在对奥兰多海盗的友谊赛上 他传出了一脚五十码的凌空传球(那球很漂亮,直接落在鲁尼附近), Padraig Harrington拿出高尔夫球竿可能也办不到 But to understand Scholes' remarkable longevity at Old Trafford it helps to look at some statistics from last season. 看一些上赛季的分析资料就能了解为什麽斯科尔斯可以在曼联取得长远的成功 The elder statesman - he is 33 now - Scholes nevertheless made more appearances (24) than his young central midfield colleagues Owen Hargreaves and the Brazilian Anderson last season. 虽然已经33岁,但是斯科尔斯在上赛季出场数还是比自己年轻的队友小欧文和 安德森多 Michael Carrick played just seven more times. Having evolved gradually in to a deeper lying player, Scholes' goal return has diminished. He scored only twice last season, although one - from 25 yards - won United's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona. 卡里克只比他多踢了七场.斯科尔斯上赛季进球数明显减少可能也跟他在场上的位置 慢慢往後移有关。虽然进球数少,但是欧冠半决赛对巴萨隆纳的那球可是价值千金 'It was just one goal, one moment in a game,' is Scholes' take on it. Towards the end of an off-season that has been dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo's attempts to engineer a transfer to Real Madrid, it would be fascinating to hear Scholes' private thoughts about a team-mate who is everything that he is not. "这只是一粒进球,比赛的其中一小段时刻而已"斯科尔斯说到. 另外斯科尔斯也对C罗的转会提出了自己的看法 There is no chance of that, however. He probably hasn't even told his wife. But the very concept of seeking fame and fortune elsewhere is alien to Scholes, a player who doesn't even have an agent. 对於连一个经纪人都没有的斯科尔斯来说,到别的地方去寻求财富和名声是不可能的 'If players fancy a move and a bit of money then good luck to them but if they're at such a place like this I don't think they realise how lucky they are to be playing here,' he said. "如果球员想要寻求转会和更多金钱的话我会祝他好运,但是如果是为曼联踢球 而还在想这些事情的话我不认为他理解自己能够为曼联踢球是多麽幸运的事" 'It's always a step down after here. There are obviously big clubs in the world but while certain people think it might be a progression if they move somewhere else, I don't think it is. "在为曼联踢球後,到别的地方踢球都只是走下坡路而已。当然这世界上还有很多 其他的大俱乐部,有些人认为到其他地方踢球也许能让自己更进步,但是我不这样 认为。" 'I am lucky in that I've had everything I need. I'm at Manchester United and from Manchester. What more do I need?' "我很幸运因为我有了想要的一切。我为曼联踢球而我来自曼彻斯特。 我还能苛求什麽呢?" The one thing he badly needed last season was a place in a Champions League Final team. 斯科尔斯上赛季最想要的就是在欧冠决赛的先发名单上 Having missed the 1999 success through suspension, last May's triumph meant more to Scholes than most. 1999年因为禁赛错过比赛的他,五月份的欧冠冠军成就对他来说意义特别重大 'I got a medal in 1999 but I don't view myself as a double Champions League winner,' he added. "我在1999年也拿到了奖牌但是我没有特别兴奋" 'You've got to play in the final, I suppose, for it to count. So it meant everything to win it this time. It was a great night.' "我认为你必须要在决赛上上场,这样赢下来的比赛感觉才更美好. 所以能够赢得这一次的冠军代表了一切.这是一个美好的夜晚" For Scholes, there may not be that many more great nights. The end of a remarkable career is creeping up. 对於斯科尔斯来说,这样美好的夜晚可能无法在经历几次了. 斯科尔斯辉煌的职业身涯已经悄然走向了尽头 Rewind a few days to last Saturday. United have just played a friendly at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town. Again, Scholes sits on the team bus on his own. 时间倒回到几天前的上礼拜六.曼联刚刚结束在开普敦Newlands球场踢得友谊赛. 又一次,斯科尔斯独自一个人坐在巴士上。 Outside, cameras flash as South African news crews and fans peer through the tinted glass for a closer view. Scholes instinctively shuffles across his seat towards the aisle. He is out of sight. 外面的世界 镁光灯闪烁着,夹杂在周围的是南非记者团和疯狂的粉丝们想要靠进玻璃窗 往里面一探究竟. 斯科尔斯本能的移动了自己的座位到了靠走道的一侧. 他-不想被任何人看见。 =相关新闻= Independent:http://tinyurl.com/6x88mu Guardian:http://tinyurl.com/5rg4uo Goal.com:http://china.goal.com/cn/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=789102 -- Champions of England 。曼。联↑双↑冠。王。 Champions of Europe ◣▲◢ ˋˊ ◤▍ ▋◥ ____≡≡≡____ ↖ ▽ Ψ ▍ ▌▄▄▄▄▌ ▍ ╠※▄██▄※╣ 2007~ ﹨ █==╣ ~2008 ▍ ◢ ◎ ◣ ▍ ▉!!!
