原文出处： http://0rz.tw/c92hF -- Cliff Robinson first started wearing a headband during basketball games nearly two decades ago, before it was a fashion statement. Robinson, now a 40-year-old power forward with the Nets, simply wanted to keep the sweat out of his eyes. 大约20年前，C.Robinson开始在篮球比赛中配戴头带，而现在配戴头带打球已经蔚为 风潮。Robinson现在已经是一个40岁的老江湖，在纽泽西篮网担任替补大前锋的角色，当 时他纯粹是为了防止汗水流进眼睛里才配戴头带。 That did not spare him from heckling. 但那并未让他免於遭遇舆论攻讦。 "I used to get killed," Robinson said. "我差点没被杀人灭口，"Robinson说。 He heard comments like, "Take that stupid headband off" or "You look ridiculous in that headband." 他听到类似的评论，"把那愚蠢的头带拿掉"或"你带着那个头带看起来真蠢。" "I heard a little bit of everything," Robinson said. "大概各式各样的批评我都听过，"Robinson说。 Today, headbands in basketball are as common as high-tops and jerseys. Players wear them more for the look than to stop sweat. Off the court, they have become a part of urban fashion. And they are often a nice souvenir for fans lucky enough to catch one when a player throws his into the stands after a game. 时至今日，头带在篮球的世界里大概就跟高筒球鞋和球衣一样普遍。球员们大多为了 造型而非纯粹为了止汗而配戴头带。在场外，配戴头带也成了时下年轻人打扮的行头之一 。而且当球员在赛後将他的头带拿起丢入观众席时，对於抢到头带的幸运球迷来说又是个 绝佳的纪念品。 Robinson was not the first player to don a headband, but he will take credit for being the man who made it cool again. Robinson said he was the only NBA player wearing a headband during his rookie season with the Portland Trail Blazers in 1989. Robinson并不是配戴头带的第一个球员，但他确实是再次使得配戴头带成为一件很帅 气的事的那个人。Robinson说'89年当他还是波特兰拓荒者的菜鸟时自己是全联盟唯一一位 配戴头带的球员。 "When you think back on it, it's actually pretty cool to be the person who brought it back to where it's not looked at as ridiculous," Robinson said. "当你回想起这件事，能够成为使得配戴头带变成不是愚蠢的一件事的那个人确 实是很酷，"Robinson说。 Most people seem to remember the former NBA star Wilt Chamberlain as one of the first players to wear a headband. But the man who made a fashion statement out of it -- albeit an unintentional one -- was Donald Earl Watts, better known as Slick. 大部分的人应该会记得前NBA球星张大帅是最先开始配戴头带的球员之一。但真正让它 变成一种时尚的人 -- 尽管这全是个美丽的误会 -- 是D.E. Watts，或许你会觉得这个名 字很陌生，但如果说"Slick"应该就有不少人知道这号人物了吧。 Watts spent six seasons in the NBA, from 1974 to '79, most of them with the Seattle SuperSonics. And like Robinson, when Watts started wearing a headband, he was not in search of a modeling contract. Watts职业生涯有六年的时间在NBA度过，从'74到'79年，大部分的时间都待在西雅图 超音速队。而就像Robinson一样，当Watts开始配戴头带，他并不是为了想要让他成为一种 流行。 "I had sweat everywhere," Watts said by telephone from Seattle, where he lives. "I could hardly see sometimes because I played so hard." "打球时我全身都是汗，"在话筒另一端居住地西雅图的Watts说。"因为我非常认真投 入比赛之中以至於有时候我几乎什麽都看不到。" Watts attempted to solve his perspiration problems as a sophomore at Xavier University of Louisiana with a primitive approach. He stuck duct tape around his bald head, producing an inevitable result after games. 当Watts还是路易斯安那州塞维尔大学的二年级生时他就采用一种很原始的方法，企 图解决汗水对自己造成的困扰。他把圆管胶带缠在他的光头上面，但在赛後却产生了一个 无法避免的大问题。 "My skin came with the tape," he said. "So that was pretty horrifying." "胶带黏在我的皮肤上，"他说。"要把它撕掉实在是很吓人的一件事。" But after seeing Chamberlain wearing a headband, Watts said, he searched for one. He found a black one in the women's section of a small sporting goods store in New Orleans. 但在看到张大帅配戴头带後，Watts说，他也找了一条来戴。他在纽澳良一间小小的运 动用品店女生部门买了条黑色的头带。 The result was better than Watts could have expected. 结果配戴头带的效果远比Watts原先所预期地更好。 He said he first wore it in a game against Alabama State and scored 40 points, and "the rest is history." 他说他在对上阿拉巴马州的比赛中首度配戴球带上场并一举拿下40分，而"接下来他一 直在创造历史新页。" Watts became a folk figure of sorts. He wore it crooked, with one end higher on his head than the other, but that was more for comfort than to make a statement . Watts成了引人注意的一号人物。他把它斜着一边配戴，让它一边高一边低，但那已经 超过要让自己觉得舒服的范畴了。 "I thought it looked funny," said Rod Thorn, the Nets' president, who played in the NBA from 1964 to 1971. Thorn said headbands were not seen as hip during his playing days, although that never seemed to be an issue for Watts. "我认为那看起来很可笑，"现任篮网总裁，'64到'71年曾经在NBA打球的R.Thorn这麽 说。Thorn说头带在他打球的那个年代并不盛行，不过这对Watts来说似乎从来就不是个问 题。 The headband became such a staple for Watts that when he was not wearing it one night, his coach, Bill Russell, made him put it on. 头带成了Watts身上不可或缺的一部分，甚至当他忘了配戴时，他的教练B.Russell还 会帮他配戴一个。 "When I wore it, I had a little style with it," Watts said. "It was my little thing at the time. Everywhere I went with it I was a hit." "当我配戴头带时，我有我自己的风格，"Watts说。"当时我可是和它形影不离，不管 我到了哪里都是众人的目光焦点。" Robinson said he wanted to wear a headband when he played at Connecticut, but his coach, Jim Calhoun, would not allow it. Robinson说他在康乃迪克大学打球时就想配戴头带打球，但他的教练J.Calhoun不准他 这麽做。 When he got to the NBA, Robinson said, he asked the Trail Blazers' trainer to get him some headbands. 当他进入NBA，Robinson说，他要求拓荒者的训练员给他一些头带。 "He must have thought I was joking because he took a little while to get them," Robinson said. "他一定以为我是在开玩笑，因为他花了一段时间才买到，"Robinson说。 When he finally received them, he said, they were terrible. They had Velcro tabs on the ends that were used to fasten the headband around his head. He wore those for a couple of games before the trainer got him traditional ones. 当他终於收到头带时，他说，他们看起来糟透了。那些头带一端有维可牢调整片，让 它可以牢牢地固定在头上。他在训练员终於给他买来传统式头带前也配戴那些头带打了几 场球赛。 Now, about half of Robinson's teammates with the Nets wear headbands regularly. 现在，Robinson篮网队的队友们大约有一半是固定配戴头带出赛的。 They are everywhere. Some players wear them to keep long hair out of their eyes . 配戴头带现在是再正常不过的事了。有些球员则是为了使长发不要触及眼睛才配戴头 带。 Some players have shown quirky headband habits. 某些球员还有一些特殊的配戴习惯。 The Detroit Pistons' Rasheed Wallace has worn two headbands at once. 底特律活塞的溪蛙一度同时配戴两条头带登场。 The Nets' backup point guard, Marcus Williams, recently wore his headband so high on his head, it was practically slipping off. He eventually tossed it to the side of the court while bringing the ball up court. Williams' headband style drew several curious stares and comments. He said he was just being silly . 篮网的替补控卫M.Williams最近把头带戴在几乎不能再高的位置，所以它时常滑落。 他最後在带球时把头带丢到场边。Williams配戴头带的方式屡次引起好奇的眼光和评论， 他本人则表示他只是为了装疯卖傻才这麽做。 Headbands are much more prevalent in today's game than in Watts' days in part because the league is much more visible, said Todd Boyd, a professor of critical studies in the School of Cinema and Television at the University of Southern California. 与过去Watts打球的年代相比，头带在现今的球赛中已经普遍许多，而这是因为透过各 种管道看球的人变多了，於南加大主修电影与电视的教授T.Boyd如是说。 Headbands originated as a part of 1970s fashion, Boyd said, but they lost their popularity in the '80s and '90s. When they returned, they were seen as cool partly because they were retro style, Boyd said. He added that he saw headbands return in full force about four years ago. 配戴头带的风潮源自於'70年代，Boyd说，但'80、'90年代并不盛行。当头带再次出现 於NBA球场上，很多人认为配戴头带看起来很酷是因为那带有复古风，Boyd说。他还补充说 大概四年前他就看出配戴头带会再次成为一种时髦的表徵。 "Like a lot of things that serve a practical purpose, it can also be stylish," Boyd said during a telephone interview. "就想很多东西一样，尽管他有实用性，他也能变成一种风格，"Boyd在接受电话采访 时说道。 That style can sometimes be misconstrued and cause controversy. 但那风格有时也会被误解并引发争论。 The Chicago Bulls recently fined their center, former Piston Ben Wallace, for wearing a headband, an act that defied coach Scott Skiles' rule against them. 芝加哥公牛队最近对於他们的中锋，前活塞球员班蛙做出惩处，因为他配戴头带，这 个行为触犯了总教练S.Skiles规定的队规。 "Some people do perceive it as a component of hip-hop style," Boyd said. "And a lot of people have very negative attitudes about hip-hop, which they tend not to know a lot about." "有些人确实认为头带是嘻哈风格的元素之一，"Boyd说。"而很多人对於嘻哈抱持着相 当反对的态度，而那多半是因为他们对於嘻哈了解不深。" Watts said he had no problem with players who wore headbands for the style, though he had one message, "Don't make a statement unless you're bringing your game." Watts说他不反对球员为了创造自己的风格而配戴头带，但他还附加了一句，"除非你 表现良好，否则别去想那些有关个人风格的事。" --
