http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=10845 The NBA's Deepest Player NBA最有深度的球员 There are some pretty common stereotypes that exist about NBA players. And to be honest, you will bump into guys in NBA locker rooms who uphold such stereotypes. However, you will also run into some wonderfully complex and intelligent people. Unfortunately, fans rarely get to see this side of certain NBA players because the mainstream media rarely talks about such things. NBA有很多八辣的故事,这些休息室内流传的八卦你在场内撞到的人都可以说上好一些, 但是,NBA中还是有着充满爱与正义.(大无敌看太多了...)不.是理想与智慧的例子, 可惜的是,主流媒体带给球迷从来都不会是这些正面的影响 One guy who shatters all of the typical NBA stereotypes is David West of the New Orleans Hornets. Along with Carlos Boozer, he might be my favorite NBA player to speak with. And almost always, our conversations have very little to do with basketball. 阿西就是这样一个粉碎了八卦的球员,除了娘炮,我想这是我最喜欢跟他聊天的一个人 ,因为我们总是可以聊上些什麽而不仅只是在篮球上打转 I first met West two years ago writing a piece for the late, great SWISH Magazine. We hit it off pretty quickly and started talking about history and psychology. Ever since that time, whenever I see West we shoot the breeze about current events and other things much more meaningful than basketball. 我第一次遇到阿西是在两年前为了写一篇杂志报导,谈着谈者,很快的聊起了历史跟心理 的议题,打从那此开始,只要我遇到阿西,篮球就只是我们讨论中的一个轻描淡写的话题而已 还有太多有意义的话题可以聊了 When I caught up with West recently, my question was a simple one: "Any knowledge you want to drop on the readers? Any philosophical ideas that have been going through your head?" 最近, 我问了他一个简单的问题:你想让读者了解什麽?现在你所想的人生想法的是什麽? Asking such an open-ended question to some players would draw a bewildered stare or a trite response. With West, though, what a question like this does is allow him to write your column for you, which will help allow the public to see a different side of the player. 问着麽个天马行空的问题,一些球员可能会傻在那边发呆或是说些陈腔滥调,但是阿西呢.. 他大概会写一篇精辟社论给你看让大众去了解球员的生活到底在想些什麽 Here was how West responded to my question: "With the recent election, I think that shows some growth in this country and in the minds of people in this nation. I thought that was good. One thing I try to tell some young guys I speak to on a daily basis is be proud to be alive at this time and relish the moment that we're in. I'm a history buff, so it may be a little bit more meaningful to me, but just relish the time that you can see with your own eyes, the life that you have and the progress. There's a whole generation of folks that lived and died and never saw legitimate stops towards progress. As a nation we really took a step forward. 阿西说:这次欧巴马的当选,代表的是我们国家的进步跟人民的成长,这是一桩好事, 我试着告诉青年们去"活的有尊严,并享受着生命当下的这一刻" 我热爱历史,历史可引以为镜,你可以亲眼去探索你的生命跟历程,对汲汲营营的人们而言 这是一个很好的方式去驱动人生,就像这个国家一样在进步 (OK/这一段我不确定有没有翻错或误解,请高手帮忙修正吧.........) "We did something in terms of the global perspective that really inspired not just Americans but people all over the globe. Regardless of where we feel like we sit in the hierarchy of nations, people look to America as a leader and they follow our lead. The wife of the President of France said that if the U.S. can select a person of color, then why can't we? You hear nations all over the world starting to make comments about it that if America has taken growth and steps in their ideology then everybody else should try and do the same." 我们试着去促进这个世界的美好,不论是否造成了国家间的阶级制度, 但是美国被视为领导者却是事实,很多国家服从着美国的领导,就像法国一位妇女说的 "美国能突破肤色,为何我们不行" 如果这世界因为美国的进步和改变能刺激并进而改革他们自己的国家,对大家来说 这是种双赢 (难怪上次有人呛欧巴马他要去找他打架.......................) Put that in your stereotype pipe and smoke it. Yes, West is a great basketball player. However, he's also an amazingly complex person who spends his free time studying history, playing the tuba and judging the quality of essay's written by young people during Black History Month. 阿西是个伟大的球员,除此之外,他还有许多特性集於一身,闲暇之余他花时间念历史 吹大号喇叭(乐器),并且担任青年学子的文章讲评工作 If you look hard enough, you can always find examples of people who fall into the stereotypical categories created by society. However, you can also find plenty of people who reside well outside of the box the public often tries to squeeze them into. 这个世界还是有很多人是不流於俗套而且与众不同的 David West is one of a kind. 就是阿西罗 http://www.kenlu.net/forum/showthread.php?p=236021 补上阿西的球鞋 --
