原文:http://ppt.cc/l9XS 大致翻译如下: FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots silenced their "End Zone Militia" on Sunday night, paying tribute to the victims of the Connecticut school shooting by canceling the traditional scoring celebration in which men dressed as Revolutionary War soldiers fire muskets into the air. Instead, they saluted the American flag, which was flying at half-staff, on any Patriots score. 爱国者队在周日的比赛中，取消了"End Zone Militia"这项庆祝方式，取而代之的是，他 们对着国旗敬礼，那场比赛，他们降了半旗，以悼念在Sandy Hook小学发生的悲剧。 End Zone Militia ：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxubdmxdpMw Two days after 20 children and six adults were shot to death at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., the Patriots joined teams across the NFL that honored the victims' memory by asking for a moment of silence and darkening their scoreboards. 爱国者队是NFL向这件枪案致意的球队之一，共有20名孩童与6位教职员在此枪击案中 罹难。 After the shooting in Newtown, Conn., wide receiver Victor Cruz and the rest of the Giants played Sunday with heavy hearts, writes Ian O'Connor. Story New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz, after learning that he was the favorite player of one 6-year-old victim, wrote "R.I.P. Jack Pinto," "Jack Pinto, my hero" and "This one is for you" on his shoes for the Giants game against the Falcons in Atlanta. Cruz said he called the boy's family after hearing he was a Giants fan and was told they planned to bury him in one of Cruz's No. 80 jerseys. Victor Cruz与他巨人队的队友们也向这些罹难者们致意。Jack Pinto，一位6岁的罹难孩 童，Cruz则是他最喜爱的球员，所以Cruz在该场比赛在鞋子上写上"R.I.P. Jack Pinto," "Jack Pinto, my hero" 以及 "This one is for you"，表示对他的怀念。 Cruz鞋子图: http://channel.pixnet.net/sport/photo/focus/pic/207460329 "I don't even know how to put it into words," Cruz said. "There are no words that can describe the type of feeling that you get when a kid idolizes you so much that unfortunately they want to put him in the casket with your jersey on. I can't even explain it." Cruz表示，这件事情太哀伤了，很难用言语形容… The Patriots, the closest team to Newtown that was home on Sunday, wore a helmet sticker with the city seal and a black ribbon on it. 爱国者队，他们的主场距离枪案发生地点Newtown是最接近的，他们在比赛中，将头盔上 贴上了黑色缎带贴纸。 Tom Brady头盔上的黑缎带: http://channel.pixnet.net/sport/photo/focus/pic/207460331 They also pledged to donate $25,000 to help the families affected by the tragedy, team president Jonathan Kraft told NFL.com. 而爱国者队也将捐款给这些受到创伤的家属们。 "To me, the adults who lost their children in this are so important, the future of the school and how it moves forward is important, the town is important," Kraft told the website. "It's not for us to make the decision on what to do with the money. But we're gonna help." The team also lit 26 flares into the air in a pregame ceremony before New England's night game against the San Francisco 49ers. 爱国者在赛前释放了26道烟火，以纪念20名罹难孩童与6名教职员。 The Sunday Night Football broadcast on NBC, featuring the high-profile matchup of the Patriots and Niners, was moved to CNBC and the NBC Sports Network when President Barack Obama addressed the nation. The game returned to its regular channel after the president's remarks from Newtown. The Giants, another popular team in southwestern Connecticut, affixed a decal with the school's initials -- "S.H.E.S." -- on their helmets. 巨人队则是在星期天的比赛，在头盔上贴上"S.H.E.S."的贴纸，也就是这所小学的缩写。 巨人队四分卫 Eli Manning 的头盔: http://channel.pixnet.net/sport/photo/focus/pic/207460443 Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt wrote "Newtown, CT" on one of the gloves he wore in warmups and on both of his shoes for the game. 休士顿德州人队的防守队球星J.J Watt则是将Newtown, CT字样写在他的手套还有鞋子之 上。 Watt的手套: http://channel.pixnet.net/sport/photo/focus/pic/207460405 "We're playing football, and there's something much bigger going on in this world," Watt said. "I just wanted them to know, and I wanted everyone to know, that our thoughts are with them. Nothing is bigger than that. We played our game today, but honestly our thoughts are with them, the families, the teachers, the friends, the first responders, who had to go see that. My dad is a first responder. They were just kids." Watt说道，我想让这些罹难的天使与教职员知道，我想让全世界的人都知道，我们会将永 远怀念他们。 Giants coach Tom Coughlin said the fact that the town was only about 90 minutes from New York City made the loss hit even harder. "Being close to home, the players were greatly upset about it," said Coughlin, who also had S.H.E.S. written on the hat he wore during the game. "Many of the players have young children so they can empathize with the parents who had young children killed. There was no one that escaped the effect of it, but that's not an excuse for why we played the way we played today." In St. Louis, the players who wear No. 26 -- Rams running back Daryl Richardson and Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield -- joined hands in a circle with their coaches at midfield before their game, surrounded by dozens of children wearing jerseys. 在圣路易的主场，双方26号队员，公羊队的Daryl Richardson与维京人队的Antoine Winfield，在赛前围着圆圈祷告。 "I have a son that's in kindergarten. It choked me up because I would hate to be one of those parents," Rams running back Steven Jackson said. "You drop your kid off at school and he or she wants to go there and learn and better themselves, and to then go to the school and find that your child will no longer be with you. I couldn't imagine that thing." 公羊队的跑锋Steven Jackson说着：我有一个儿子现在在上幼稚园，家长把孩子送到学校 ，是希望他们可以学到更多的事情，不过这个悲剧却让他们天人永隔了，我无法想像这是 一件多伤心的事情… Flags were also at half-staff in Baltimore, where the scoreboards went black as the public address announcer asked the crowd at the game between the Ravens and Denver Broncosto observe "silent reflection" in the wake of Friday's "horrific tragedy." 巴尔的摩主场也降了半旗，然後他们将记分板反黑，全场一起默哀。 "As a parent you drop your kids off at school many times," said Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin, whose 21-year-old son Michael fell into a Wisconsin river and drowned in January. "It's hard to put into words what that community and those families must feel like. We obviously kept them in our prayers." A moment of silence was observed at all 14 NFL games on Sunday; in Houston and in Arlington, Texas, the scoreboard went black. Members of theBuffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawksstood quietly with their heads down on their sideline while fans stood silently at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. 这一天，很多场NFL的比赛中，球员都低头为这起枪击事件默哀。 The Bills did continue their pregame habit of playing U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday," which they've played before every home game this season. The song is in reference to British troops shooting and killing unarmed protesters in Derry, Northern Ireland in January 1972. 比尔队在赛前依照着本季的旧例，拨放着U2的"Sunday Bloody Sunday"，而这首歌同样也 是为了一起枪击事件而唱。 In Chicago, Green Bay wide receiver Donald Driver retweeted the names of the victims. St. Louis defensive end Chris Long said after the 36-22 loss the Vikings that it was hard to feel sorry for himself. "As we sit here and feel sorry for ourselves after losing a football game, it really helps put things in perspective," he said. "I was watching TV last night and saw a victim's parent and I was really moved by that, the strength that they were showing up there. If we can all show that strength, we'll be all right as a team and as people." The Patriots, meanwhile, see Newtown as part of their New England base, and had a direct connection with Friday's tragedy. The Kraft family, which owns the Patriots, also owns a box company, Rand-Whitney, that has a factory less than one mile from Sandy Hook Elementary School. Rand-Whitney's parking lot was used Friday as a meeting area for media members after the tragic shooting at the school, a Patriots official said this weekend. 大概翻译了一下....有缺漏或是不足的地方请板上大大补上... 另外附上田纳西泰坦队跑锋 Chris Johnson 的鞋子签上了罹难孩童的姓名: http://channel.pixnet.net/sport/photo/focus/pic/207460395 在近日的运动场上，我们可以看到球员们默哀， 或者将罹难者的名字画上自己的装备，悼念这些来不及长大的天使与英勇的老师们....
