By HOWARD BECK Published: May 22, 2007 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., May 21 — Three summers ago, Kenyon Martin was a free agent chasing a big payday. The Nets balked, and Jason Kidd fumed. 三年前的暑假，因为篮网拒绝换大约，Martin投身自由市场 Kidd当时对於篮网高层非常不满。 In six weeks, Vince Carter will stand where Martin once did — weighing the joys of playing with Kidd against financial concerns. Perhaps only Carter knows how this minidrama will unfold, but Kidd already knows how he will react if Carter leaves the Meadowlands. 而再过六个星期，Carter也要站在跟当初Martin一样的位置， 在快乐的与Kidd打球与财务上考量作出决择 也许只有Carter本人知道这个最近很火热的戏码，最终如何结局。 但Kidd已经想好要如何回应Carter的离开 “I wouldn’t be disappointed, because I can reflect on the K-Mart situation, ” Kidd said Monday. “I would loved to have K-Mart back, but that didn’t happen. Whatever happens, you wish him the best. Business gets in the way, and as you get older, you understand that.” 「我不会失望，因为我可以想像K-mart的情况」 「我很希望Kmart回来，但这没有发生，当你变的愈来愈成熟， 你会了解，这一切都是商业考量，不管发生了什麽事，你都会希望他变的更好」 At age 34, Kidd is wiser than he was in July 2004, when the Nets sent Martin — his No. 1 sidekick — to Denver in a sign-and-trade deal. At the time, the Nets were only a year removed from their second trip to the N.B.A. finals. The move angered Kidd enough to fuel speculation that he would demand a trade himself. 今年34岁的Kidd，表现的比2004年时，他的第一顺位夥伴Martin 被先签後换，送去金块时更加聪明。 那时候，篮网才刚结束他们第二次挑战NBA总完军赛， Martin的交易，触怒了Kidd，甚至要求被交易出去 But the hard feelings passed, and the Nets reloaded by acquiring Carter five months later. 但是五个月後，Carter的到来，使得这种艰困的感觉过去了 Now it is Carter who stands at a crossroads. He is due $16.4 million next season but has the option to terminate the contract by July 1. 现在，Carter又站上了这个交叉路口。 下一季，篮网将支付他１６M的薪水，但是他有权在７月１日终止这个合约。 The Nets and Carter will discuss a contract extension between now and then. If they cannot come to terms, Carter will probably opt out and let the market determine his price. 篮网高层将和Carter讨论延长合约的事宜。如果他们无法达成协议 Carter很可能选择终止合约，让市场决定他的身价 “That’s between him and Rod now,” Kidd said, referring to Rod Thorn, the Nets’ president. “They had to duke it out.” 「现在是Carter和总裁之间的事了」kidd这麽说到。 As the Nets’ franchise player, Kidd has the standing to make his voice heard in the front office. But he seems determined not to involve himself this time. 作为一个篮网的球员，Kidd有立场让高层听到他的声音， 但这次，他似乎决定不让自己卷入这件事 “I’ve been through it before with K-Mart, so I can reflect and see what I did wrong with that situation,” Kidd said. “That’s what’s good about making mistakes, is that you can reflect.” kidd说：「我已经思考过之前Kmart的事件了，我了解到那种情况下，我作错了些什麽」 「当一件你作错过的事可以用来反省自己，那这个错误我想还是不错的」 Nets officials conducted routine exit interviews with players on Monday. (Richard Jefferson was absent for undisclosed personal reasons.) The meetings are used to give players some off-season instructions and a sense of what to expect next season. 篮网的高层例行性的和球员在礼拜一会面。（RJ因为个人因素缺席了） 这次的面谈，主要是给球员一些球季之後的建议，还有对下一个球季的展望。 When Carter met with reporters afterward, however, he was profoundly vague about his future. He answered about a dozen questions about his potential free agency by saying, “We’ll see” or “I don’t know.” 当Carter　见到记者後，他对他自己的未来感到疑惑。 他回答了一大堆有关他可能投入自由球员市场的问题 他说「让我们擦亮眼精等着看吧」或是「我也不清楚耶」 Carter said it was not a given that he would exercise his opt-out clause, although the Nets seem to be expecting it. He would not say what factors would influence his decision. Carter并没有提到他将会动用球员选择条款，虽然篮网看起来是有这个心理准备 他也没有说，什麽样的因素会影响到他最终的决定。 “I really, honestly, haven’t put any thought into it,” he said. Carter说：「老实说，我真的完全没有任何想法，真的！」 Carter, who averaged 25.2 points this season, is among the 20 highest-paid players in the N.B.A. — a place he has earned as one of the league’s most explosive scorers. But Carter is 30 and a nine-year veteran who could soon be on the downside of his career. The Nets have not advanced past the second round of the playoffs since he arrived. Carter本季平均每场攻下25.2分，是NBA前20高薪的球员中，最具得分爆发力的一个。 但是Carter已经是个30岁，9年职业经验的老将了，他可能很快就会走下坡。 篮网没能渡过季後赛的第二轮，也是由於他。(按：我不知道有没有翻错 = = ) “We hope to sign Vince,” Thorn said. “His public posture is that he would like to stay here, but obviously he would like to get the best contract he could possibly get. Sometimes those two things mesh, and sometimes they don’ t.” 索隆说「我们希望能签下他」 「他在公开场合也总是说他想留下来， 但是显然地，Carter仍然尽他所能的要求他所希望得到的」 Thorn said Carter’s departure would not prompt him to trade Kidd or otherwise overhaul the roster. 索隆说Carter的离开，不代表他就要交易Kidd或是要重建整个球队 “I don’t know that it has anything to do with what we would do with the rest of our team, other than we obviously would be looking for a 2-guard,” Thorn said. “As to how it impacts Jason Kidd, no, it doesn’t impact him one way or the other.” 索隆又说「我不知道在休赛期间我们除了再找一个得分後卫还有什麽事要作」 (谢谢ammon大) 「至於这事会不会冲击到Kidd，噢，不会，这事情不会对他或是对任何人有所影响」 -- 翻到中间才发现早就有类似的文章了 但是还是把他po完了``最近要去考toeic 所以想试试看翻外电(但能持续多久是个谜) 因为英文仍破，很多地方是靠眼博士帮忙翻的，有错的话大家帮忙订正谢谢 --
