時間Wed Jan 4 01:02:31 2006
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Returning to his old haunt tonight -- the home of the
Detroit Pistons -- Orlando Magic forward Grant Hill is playing almost like
vintage Grant Hill.
[奧本山/密西根州]
回到希爾在底特律的老家，希爾打得就像最佳時期的Grant Hill。
It might come as a shock then when Hill says he's given serious thought to
retiring after next season.
這真是來得太突然了，當希爾說他很認真的考慮在下個球季退休的問題。
(唉..真令人感傷！)
Then again, after all he has gone through, perhaps such thoughts are really
not that surprising.
然而又一次，在他想過所有的事情之後，也許，這些想法也不是那麼令人驚訝了。
"Retirement. . . . Yeah, that's a possibility," Hill told the Sentinel.
"That's a definite possibility. That's very real. I'll have to really look
and see where I'm at that point."
"退休....是啊，這也是一種可能性。"，希爾告訴哨兵報，"這種可能性是很肯定的。
也非常的真實。我必須真的"
Where he'll be is at the end of the seven-year $92-million contract he signed
after leaving the Pistons in 2000.
他在2000年離開底特律時所簽下的七年9千2百萬美元的合約己經到了尾端了。
Where he'll be physically after next season, however, could determine whether
the seven-time all-star will play on.
他必須在下個球季保持健康，然而，那會決定這位七次全明星球員之後的路。
"At some point with the injuries, you've got to be smart. Let's keep our
fingers crossed that nothing happens between now and then. . . . Five ankle
surgeries, the sixth on the stomach [a sports hernia this season]. . . . You
don't want to be in a situation, 10-15 years from now, where you can't have
an active lifestyle or enjoy your family," Hill said.
"I don't think it's to that degree, but the stress of the NBA season. . . .
The body is not made for that. I'm an example of that."
"在一些地方受傷之後你就會學著聰明點，讓我們來祈禱從現在開始什麼事都不要發
生。五次腳踝手術、六次疝氣......你絕對不會想未來的十到十五年都這個樣子。
你又不能有積極的生活或者享受你的家庭生活。"，希爾說。
"我不認為這就是這個等級應受的，但在NBA打拼的壓力....，你的身體會無法負荷，
我就是一個例子。"
The Magic will have to make a tough call on Hill after his contract expires.
He turned 33 in October during training camp. If the club decides not to
re-sign him, given his history of injury, Grant intimates that he'll leave
the game rather than leave Orlando.
魔術隊在希爾的合約結束之後，得多去拜訪他幾次囉！
他在十月份的訓練營時把33號還回去。如果球團因為他的傷病歷史而不和他重簽和約
，希爾暗示他將離開球場而不是離開奧蘭多。
He'd love to win a title here. But playing in another city, for a contender,
doesn't have the appeal when weighed against his family life. He is married
to Tamia, a recording artist, and their daughter, Myla, turns 3 on Jan. 23.
他很想在這裡拿下冠軍，但是在別的城市打球，對一個想要爭冠軍的球員來說，當考慮家
人的因素的時候，就沒有什麼吸引力了。(我也不是很懂這一段，大概是Hill想在魔術
退休吧)，希爾的太太和女兒這邊請大家自己看吧！
"If it doesn't work out here and I have to retire. . . . If they [the Magic]
don't want me back, I'll still be at the games. You'll still see me around,"
Hill said.
"如果這樣行不通的話，那我只好退休了。如果球隊不想找我回去的話，我還是會待在場邊
，你還是可以看到我出現。"，希爾說。
"It will be a decision on my part and a decision on the team's part.
Hopefully, it will be happy for both sides. I'd love to be here. This is our
home.
這包括我的部份的決定，和球隊方面的。希望這會是個雙贏的決定，我很喜歡這裡，
這裡是我的家。
"It seems like a long time from now, but I know it will be around the corner
soon."
這事似乎要經過一段時間才能決定，但我知道一切很快就會底定了。
Hill expects to meet with the Magic this summer to address his future.
希爾希望在這暑假能和魔術隊高層見個面然後就決定他的未來。
The best guess is that Hill and the Magic will agree to extend his career. It
might be a year-to-year situation or a two-year or three-year contract.
最好的情形是，希爾跟魔術隊都同意延長他的合約，可能以一年一簽或者2年、3年的短約。
Hill's maximum contract comes off the Magic's salary-cap books after next
season, perhaps allowing them to sign a prized free agent.
希爾巨大的合約下一季將從魔術的薪資空間裡清出來，也許就能讓魔術在自由球
員市場撒錢...(呃..不，是投資！)
How much money do the Magic invest in Hill, the sequel?
不知道魔術願意給希爾多少銀兩，
Not a lot, likely. Hill doesn't have any idea, but he says money is not an
issue.
可能不太多，同樣地，希爾也沒有什麼意見，但他表示錢的事好談拉！
===============================以下有空再翻===============================
Hill is old NBA money, anyway, having made a fortune alone in endorsements
before coming to Orlando.
Sources close to Hill say they wouldn't be surprised if he'd play for the
Magic for the veteran's minimum (about $1.5 million) to close out his career.
Hill badly wants to play as long as he can and ride shotgun with young Dwight
Howard. He was robbed of four prime years by his faulty ankle.
"I really think we're building something here," he said. "I'd like to be
there along for the ride.
"I might not get to the mountaintop with them, but at least I'd like to try
to help this team go in the right direction and really try to finish what was
started. It would be nice to at least see it through, with Dwight, to see how
he develops and with guys we have here, to see how it develops."
Until last season, injuries had prevented Hill from making his return to face
the Pistons at The Palace in Auburn Hills. He received a long, warm ovation
from Pistons fans last Jan. 14.
Grant hopes to hear the cheers a few more times, but who knows after next
season?
"I knew going in this would end and when it ends it ends, you've got to move
on," Hill said. "I'm not trying to get premature, but yeah. . . . retirement.
It's real."
