科比退役:致亲爱的篮球

To My Dear Basketball

文/Kobe Bryant 绘/马豆子

Dear Basketball,

From the moment, I started rolling my dad's tube socks, And shooting imaginary, Game-winning shots①game-winning shots 制胜球, In the Great Western Forum, I knew one thing was real: I fell in love with you.

A love so deep I gave you my all—From my mind and body to my spirit and soul. As a six-year-old boy, Deeply in love with you, I never saw the end of②the end of ……的最后 eg. His death marked the end of an era. 他的逝世标志着一个时代的结束。the tunnel③tunnel 英 ['tʌnl] 美 ['tʌnl] n. 隧道;坑道;洞穴通道 vt. 挖;在……打开通道;在……挖掘隧道. I only saw myself, Running out of④run out of 用完;从……跑出来;(液体)从……流出;[美国英语]强迫离开;驱逐出……eg. We ran out of coal,and had to burn wood. 我们的煤用光了,只好烧柴。one. And so I ran. I ran up and down every court, After every loose ball⑤loose ball 双方都未控制的球for you. Y ou asked for my hustle⑥hustle 英 ['hʌs(ə)l] 美 ['hʌsl] vt. 催促;猛推;强夺 vi. 赶紧;硬挤过去;拼命挣钱 n. 推;奔忙;拥挤喧嚷, I gave you my heart. Because it came with so much more. I played through the sweat and hurt, Not because challenge called me, But because YOU called me. I did everything for YOU. Because that's what you do.

When someone makes you feel as alive as you've made me feel. You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream, And I'll always love you for it. But I can't love you obsessively for much longer. This season is all I have left to give. My heart can take the pounding⑦pounding 英['paʊndɪŋ] n.重击;重击声, My mind can handle the grind⑧grind 英 [ɡraɪnd] 美 [ɡraɪnd] n. 磨;苦工作, But my body knows it's time to say goodbye. And that's OK. I'm ready to let you go.

We have given each other. All that we have. And we both know, no matter what I do next. I'll always be that kid. With the rolled up socks. Garbage can in the corner: five seconds on the clock, Ball in my hands.5... 4... 3... 2... 1

Love you always,

Kobe

Kobe亲爱的篮球:

在小时候,我穿着老爸的直筒袜,假装着我在大西部论坛球馆投中制胜球时开始,我就清楚地知道一件事情:我爱上你了。

我爱你如此之深,已奉献我的所有——从我的思想到我的身体,从我的精神到我的灵魂。6岁的我,深深地爱着你。我从没想过这段旅程结束时的样子,我只看到我自己在这条路上奔跑,所以我不停地跑,每场比赛我都不停奔跑,为争取每一次得到你的机会,你需要我拼尽全力。

我为你奉上了我的心,因为这需要的不仅仅是尽力。我为打球流尽血汗、带着一身伤病,不是因为困难在挑战我,而是因为你在呼唤我,我已经为你做了一切,因为你也是这样对待我。因为你让我感觉,我自己是一个鲜活的人,你让一个6岁的孩子实现了他的湖人梦,为此我将永远爱你。

但是我不能再如此迷恋你了。

这个赛季是我所能最后给予你的,我的心还能继续承受各种打击,我的意志也还能继续坚持下去,但我的身体让我知道是时候说再见了。这也很好,我已经做好准备跟你说再见了。

我现在只是想让你知道,我们俩都可以永远珍藏着彼此一起度过的每一段时光,无论是好的,还是坏的,我们已经给了彼此我们所能给的全部。我们俩都知道,接下来无论我去做什么,我都会是那个穿着老爸的直筒袜,瞄准角落里的垃圾桶,假装进攻时间还有5秒,手里拿着篮球的小孩。

5秒……4秒……3秒……2秒……1秒。

一直爱你的,科比
