手痒补充一下 ※ 引述《clivezzz (马刺拿冠军!)》之铭言： : Yeah, he’s a San Antonio Spurs but 来源:http://ppt.cc/5rX8 (翻译有误请指正) : By Kevin Sherrington 达拉斯晨报记者 : Gregg Popovich might seem about as Texan as an episode of The Americans. : Gregg Popovich看起来很像The Americans(美国2013年春季影集)里的德州人 : Like the Soviet-era spies of the series, he speaks fluent Russian. Midwestern : boy, son of Serbian and Croatian parents, trained in intelligence in the Air : Force. Once considered a career in the CIA. Owns interest in a winery. Come : to think of it, he might make a better villain in an Ian Fleming novel than : coach of the San Antonio Spurs. : 他像是旧苏联时期的人，他是个中西部出生的男孩，父母来自塞尔维亚及克罗地亚，能讲 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ 这边的意思是跟上面提 克罗埃西亚 到的影集里面出现的俄 是台湾比较 国间谍(spy)一样 常用的译名 : 一口流利的俄语，在空军受过训练，曾经考虑当一个CIA，最大的兴趣在酒庄里，综合以 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 这边意思是在空军的情报部门 意思是他拥有一间酒庄的 (intelligence)受过训练, 所 股份 以後面才会说他有考虑过进入 CIA工作 : 上的描述，比起当马刺的教练他似乎比较适合在Ian Fleming(007系列的作者)的小说里当 : 个恶棍。 ^^^^Villian 有强调反派英雄的意思 : He deserves to be a candidate for Dallas Morning News Texan of the Year, just : the same. : 但他仍然值得成为"达拉斯"晨报(Dallas Morning News)的年度德州风云人物候选人 : As Texas coaching icons go, Popovich — or Pop, as he’s commonly known — : doesn’t resonate like Darrell Royal. He sure doesn’t sound like Bum : Phillips, nor does he loom majestically above his sport, as Tom Landry does : even now. : 作为一个德州教练的指标人物，Pop就像他广为人知的那样，不像Darrell Royal那样令人 : 产生共鸣(德州出身美足传奇教练，他在德州各大学执教时拿下167–47–5的战绩)，他当 : 然听起来也不像Bum Phillips(另一位德州出生的美足教练，为现在NFL田纳西泰坦队的前 : 身休士顿油人队胜场最多的教练)，即使是现在，他在自己运动中的地位也不像Tom : Landry(德州出生美足球员及教练，被评价为NFL史上最伟大最具创新性的教练)曾经达到 : 的那样。(三位教练皆已过世) : (这段有点难翻orz,大意是Pop的声望还比不上上述的教练) : But if you’re counting — in sports, that’s what we do — he has more : championships than any of the above. Five rings now with the Spurs’ : dismissal of the Heat last spring in five games. : 但如果你算一算那个在职业运动中我们重视的东西，POP有比上面任何一位还要多的戒指 : ，上个春天马刺五场让热火回家後，现在已经有五枚戒指了。 : Only Phil Jackson and Red Auerbach own more titles in NBA history. If you : want to say it was because of the Spurs’ system — manned by the likes of : David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili — you should know : Jackson doesn’t win 11 in Chicago and Los Angeles without Michael Jordan, : Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, and Auerbach doesn’t do nine without Bill : Russell and company. : 在NBA历史中只有Phil Jackson 和 Red Auerbach有更多的戒指，如果你要将其归功於由 : David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili组成的马刺系统，你应 : 该要知道Jackson在 Chicago 和 Los Angeles时无法在没有Michael Jordan, Shaquille : O’Neal and Kobe Bryant的情况下赢下11个冠军而Auerbach 也无法在没有Bill Russell : 以及他的军队的情况下赢下9个冠军. : The difference between Pop and the coaches in front of him is that in an era : when superstars treat teams like fads, tilting the balance of power as they : move from one to the next, the Spurs remain gloriously stuck in their past. : Their five titles in 16 seasons make them as close to a dynasty as any : franchise in the United States’ four major pro sports. : POP和排在他前面的教练们不同之处在於，他处在这样一个超级巨星报团组队蔚为潮流， : 造成实力不平衡的时代。马刺依旧维持他们光荣的传统，他们在16个赛季夺得五次冠军 : 的成就让他们比北美四大职业运动中任何一支球队更像是个王朝。 : The Spurs’ system succeeds because it’s based on team, not individuals. : Sure, Duncan, Parker and Ginobili hold court, but on any given night, any : Spurs can have his say. No other NBA team is as democratic. : 马刺体系的成功是基於团队，而非个人。当然，GDP把场上顾得好好的，但任何一个马刺 : 的成员无论何时都可以拥有自己的发言权，在NBA球队中没有另一支球队有这样的民主。 : Pop and the Spurs’ general manager, R.C. Buford, didn’t come up with this : system overnight. It’s been more than 18 years in the making, which pretty : much covers the evolution of the coach, as well. : POP跟Buford(最佳总管!)并没有在一夜之间创出这种体系，他们花了超过18年才打造出来 : ，很大一部分来说这促进了教练这个职位的进化。 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 这边有他们的这18年就像是教练这一个职务的演进的一个缩影的意思 : When Pop took over in the midst of the 1995-96 season, no one could have : envisioned what was in store. Pop’s own credentials hardly inspired the : locals. His only head coaching experience was at little Pomona-Pitzer, a : half-hour outside Los Angeles if the traffic’s light. He lived in the dorms : and officed out of a converted storage closet. Coached there an interminable : nine years and thought he’d never leave. : 当POP在95-96球季中跳出来接手时，没人想到他葫芦里在卖什麽药。他本身的经历很难使 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ envisioned what was in store比较接近 "想像接下来的辉煌旅程"的意思 : 球迷振奋，他唯一的执教经历是在距离Los Angeles一个半小时车程的Pomona-Pitzer， : 且在宿舍及一个储藏室改装的办公室无休止的往返执教了九年，甚至觉得自己绝不会离开 : Then Pop met a fellow named Larry Brown, the Johnny Appleseed of basketball. : Brown hired him at Kansas, then took him to San Antonio. When Larry moved on, : so did Pop, to Golden State, where he worked under Don Nelson. : 然後POP遇到了Larry Brown，Larry聘请了POP为他工作，一路从Kansas到San Antonio， : 当Larry离开San Antonio後，POP也跟着离开San Antonio去了Golden State， : 在Don Nelson手下继续工作。 : He returned to San Antonio and became general manager, which was his title : when he fired coach Bob Hill and took the job for himself. : 後来他回到San Antonio并成为了GM，直到他炒掉Bob Hill并自己跳下去当教练。 : Pop had a rough go of it for a while. Fans hated him for canning Hill. : Players questioned his primitive style: dump the ball in to David Robinson or : Tim Duncan and get out of the way. As the rules changed, limiting : hand-checking, so did Pop’s style. Players such as Parker and Ginobili : prospered under his hand. : Pop当时有段艰难的时光，球迷因为他开除Hill而讨厌他，球员对他的"球给Robinson OR : Duncan，然後滚开"执教风格抱持疑问。当限制手部推挤的规则改变後，球赛更符合POP的 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : 风格了(球给Duncan)，像Parker跟Ginobili这样的球员则在他手下开始发光发热。 ^^^^^^^ 这边的意思是随着hand-checking越抓越严, pop也跟着改变他的风格 之後趴车跟鬼秃这类球员才开始在他的手下得到更多机会 : Meanwhile, fans figured anyone could win with Robinson and Duncan. Even a : second title didn’t win them over. You’d have figured a city like San : Antonio — unpretentious, low-key, a blue-collar town — would identify with : Pop’s gruff exterior and military background. This is not that kind of love : story. : 与此同时，球迷们觉得谁都可以在有Robinson跟Dincan的情况下赢球，即使赢得第二个 : 冠军，Pop依旧没有赢得球迷的喜爱。你可以想像一个像SA这样谦逊、低调、蓝领元素的 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 这边的意思是"你可能会认为像SA这样谦逊, 低调 : 城市，会认同像POP这样拥有粗旷外表和军事背景的人吗?这不是你想的那种爱情故事。 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 蓝领为主的城市会一开始就很认同pop的粗旷外表与军事背景 你想的太美了" : What turned around the fans was the fact that the Spurs kept winning, and as : they did, Pop didn’t use his success as a springboard to something better. : Why? Even after all this time, it’s not as if he’s rooted in San Antonio. : He gets out of town during the off-season. Loves international travel. : Well-read. Holds his own in any conversation. : 真正扭转球迷看法的原因是马刺持续赢球，就像他们做的那样，而POP也没有利用他的成 : 功作为跳板去寻求更好的职位。为什麽呢? 尽管到了现在，他好像还是没有在SA落地生根的 : 感觉，他在休赛期间会离开，他喜欢国际旅行、他阅读，并在任何的谈话中尽情作自己。 : (it's not as if he's rooted in San Antonio这边翻得有点拗口,求高人指点) : Example: While in Philadelphia recently for a game, he strolled down to city : hall just to check out protests over the Ferguson, Mo., case. : 举例来说:在最近到费城的比赛时，他跑去市政府去看关於Ferguson的抗议(美国密苏里州 : 黑人青少年被白人警官开枪射死引发的抗议事件)。 : Despite his worldliness and credentials as the best coach in the NBA, his : name never comes up in high-profile job searches. This in a league where it’ : s not unusual to hear Jackson’s name still surface, or even Pat Riley’s. : 尽管目前他不论在一般人心中或资历上都被认为是NBA最好的教练，但你从不会听到他在 : 追求其他队教练或是GM的职务，而其他不常听到的名字像Jackson却还是会浮上台面，甚 ^^^^^^^^not unusual to hear的意思是时常听到 : 至是Pat Riley。 : Basically, it’s Pop’s choice to stay in Texas. What he’s built with Buford : would be hard to replicate elsewhere, especially now at 66. : 基本上，是Pop决定留在德州的，毕竟他跟Buford一起打造的马刺也很难再其他地方复制 : ，特别是他已经66岁了。 : His standard getaway line with reporters is that he’ll retire when Duncan : does. His first glass of wine at dinner, the toast is always, “Here’s to : Timmy.” The truth is that he might try to go longer, as hard as it is to : imagine. : 他总是说当Duncan退休的时候就是他离开的时候。他每晚晚餐的第一杯酒敬酒时总是说 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Standard getaway line意思是又有记者拿什麽时候退休来烦他的时候 他最常用来堵对方嘴的招式就是说他会跟Duncan一起退休 : "这杯是给Timmy的"。事实上呢，他将试着待在马刺更久的时间，虽然这很难想像。 : Whatever his future, he’s made Texas home of the NBA’s best organization : going on two decades. In Texas, where football is king, a basketball coach : has forged his way into the conversation of the state’s most legendary : coaches. That alone should probably make him Texan of the Year. : 无论他的未来如何，他让德州成为NBA在这二十年间最好团队的所在地。在这个美足称 : 王的地方，一个篮球教练用他自己的方式加入了本洲最传奇教练的讨论中。这件事应该 : 就足以让他成为德州年度风云人物了。 : 这篇文章是达拉斯晨报的记者写的，所以标题才会用"是的,他是个马刺人 但..." : 这种标题。 : 最近开始想翻译外电，一方面可以看到国外的一手情报令一方面也可以练英文，其实我 : 英文蛮烂的，希望大家可以多多包容也不吝指教~ --
