玩出个未来——走进电竞世界（下）

⊙ By Valve 翻译：蓝 蓝

提起玩游戏，人们的第一印象往往是“不务正业”——然而，有那么一群年轻人，他们偏偏就将这种“不务正业”发挥到极致，一步步登上电子竞技项目的职业舞台。未来几年，大家甚至会在亚运会等高规格体育盛事中看到电竞选手的活跃表现！电竞是个怎样的项目？玩电竞的都是些什么人？跟随着纪录片《心竞技》（Free to Play）的介绍，我们将连续三期带大家回到2011年科隆国际邀请赛的现场，感受这个光影迷离的异色世界！

I Have to Win It for My Family

Katya Ishutin (The Sister of Gamer “Dendi”): We tried to put family pictures here. This is our Mom and Dad. And I think that this one is our favorite, actually.

Danylo Ishutin (Gamer “Dendi”): My childhood…we lived [sic] poor life, and Dad was working for all our life [sic].

Artem Ishutin (Danylo’s Brother): But he helped us every time and every problem. I just ask him, and he’ll do everything for me, for Katya, for Danylo as well. But Danylo and Father was [sic] like friends.

Katya: They could sit with no speaking for hours, and just enjoy each other’s company. They understood each other without words.

Danylo: One day, I was going fishing, but Dad never showed up. When I came home, it was already super late. He was feeling bad. He went [sic] hospital. He decide [sic] to stay for a few weeks, you know, so we watch everything, stuff like this. And…cancer.

Artem: It was a very big shock for me, because he was very thin. I cannot understand this is my Father. We were all sure that it must be OK, but…it was a very short time.

Danylo: I was really sad and was crying a lot. I was upset about I couldn’t say [sic] him, many times, how much I loved him.

Actually, I spent more time near the computer, because I could not think about it. It was like a start time, actually—the push to play more. And that’s maybe one of the reasons why I’m playing now. Maybe I wouldn’t play at all.

Katya: The relationship of Danylo and my Mom grew stronger these days. They support each other, and they are very good friends. I think that this [sic] very important for Danylo. Danylo: You know, five years ago, I wouldn’t care about many things. Now, I’m thinking about it a lot. Something knocks you down…you need to learn to get up. So I’m trying to research this, to learn to get up.

This is [sic] most important moment in my life, because everything I worked on wasn’t useful, and now I have a chance to win this tournament for my family.

This Is Where It All Started

Toby Dawson (Commentator): Na’Vi have just won one million dollars! EHOME do take home $250,000 in second place, but Na’Vi are the champions!

There’s [sic] moments of e-sports that are1)landmark, and this is one of them, in Cologne. And Na’Vi, the winners, you guys have just made history…

Katya: I was jumping on the sofa and screaming like [sic] crazy girl, because I was the happiest girl in the world, and my brother just won one million dollars!

Gamer A: I think, in ten years’ time, all the gamers which we…currently have showing themselves, they’re gonna be the guys we will look back at and say, “This was the beginning. This is where it all started.”

These are the guys that worked hard, and they took the risk. They proved themselves, and they2)forwarded the entire industry to the point where we could have a3)kick-start. We could show the world what we do. And then, who knows how big we could get at that point?

Gamer B: We’ve come far already. When more and more people support it, and it becomes more and more normal, it’s going to go from a4)niche to becoming accepted in societies.

Gamer C: I think, in 15 years, e-sports will be bigger than football, than basketball, than everything.

Gamer D: That kid who you thought played too many video games is potentially going to be on a path where he’s earning $250,000 a year,5)salary. He’s flying the world. He’s gonna be6)endorsed. Gaming’s the biggest entertainment industry in the world, so if you’re a star, you are potentially one of the biggest stars in the world.

Gamer E: So, if that…like everything else with computers grows7)exponentially or whatever, then five or ten years could be a big step actually.

Tammy Tang (Gamer “Furryfish”): Changing8)mindsets is never easy, so it’s gonna take a while. When the gamers now become parents, we will be supportive of our kids playing, and I think that’s really when everything will boom.

1) landmark [΄lændmɑːk] n. 划时代的事件，里程碑

2) forward [΄fɔːwəd] v. 促进，助长

3) kick-start [΄kɪkˌstɑːt] n. 启动刺激，动力

4) niche [niːʃ] n. 小生境，（产品或服务所需的）特殊领域

5) salary [΄sælərɪ] n. 薪水

6) endorse [ɪn΄dɔːs] v. 支持，认可，为（商品等）代言

7) exponentially [ekspə΄nenʃ（ə）lɪ] adv. 指数式地

8) mindset [΄maɪndset] n. 精神状态，思想倾向

When the gamers now become parents, we will be supportive of our kids playing, and I think that’s really when everything will boom.

我们都知道support这个动词是“支持，支援”的意思，在它后面加上-ive这个后缀就能变成形容词，意思是“支持的，支援的”，除了可以直接修饰名词，还可以用be supportive of sth./ doing sth.的搭配引出从句，例如：

· She’s going to play a supportive role in the new show. （她将在这部新剧里演一个配角。）

· His family was supportive of his attempts to be a writer.（他要努力成为一名作家，而他的家人对此非常支持。）

为家人而战

卡佳·伊舒京（玩家Dendi的姐姐）：我们尽量把家人的照片都放在这儿。这是我们的爸爸妈妈。我想，这是我们最喜欢的照片。

达尼洛·伊舒京（玩家Dendi）：我小时候……我们家挺穷的，爸爸要为我们的生计努力工作。

阿尔乔姆·伊舒京（达尼洛的哥哥）：但他每次都会帮我们的忙，无论遇到什么问题都能解决。只要向他求助，他就会料理一切，不管是为了我，为了卡佳，还是为了达尼洛。不过呢，达尼洛和父亲更像一对好哥们。

卡佳：他们可以连续坐上好几个小时，一句话都不说，就这样享受着彼此的陪伴，无须交谈也能心灵相通。

达尼洛：有一天，我去钓鱼，但爸爸一直没有出现。等我回到家时，天色已经很晚了。原来他觉得不太舒服，去了医院。后来，他决定留院几周，你知道，要观察情况什么的，结果……是癌症。

阿尔乔姆：当时我非常震惊，因为他变得瘦骨嶙峋，我简直无法相信这是我的父亲。我们都相信情况一定会好起来的，但是……他很快就走了。

达尼洛：我那时很难过，经常大哭，一想到我再也不能向他表达我的爱意，我就特别伤心。

事实上，我将更多时间花在电脑上了，因为我不想老惦记着爸爸的事。这就像是一切的开端，使我更加沉迷游戏。或许这正是我玩游戏的其中一个原因，不然我可能根本不会碰游戏。

卡佳：达尼洛与妈妈最近关系越来越好了，他俩相互扶持，成了一对好朋友。我想，这对达尼洛来说非常重要。

达尼洛：你瞧，要是放在五年前，我会对很多事情漠不关心；而现在呢，我会进行各种各样的思考。当一件事情将你击垮了，你就得学着重新站起来。所以我正在努力，学着重新站起来。

这是我这辈子最重要的时刻，因为我从没做过什么有意义的事情，而现在，我终于有机会为自己的家人打赢这场比赛了。

一切由此开始

托比·道森（解说员）：Na’Vi战队刚刚赢得100万美元（约合681万元）！亿家战队将带着25万美元（约合170万元）与亚军头衔打道回府，Na’Vi战队获得冠军！

有些事件会成为电子竞技史上的里程碑，而此时在德国科隆，这就是一个标志性的时刻。Na’Vi战队胜利了，你们创造了历史……

卡佳：我在沙发上跳来跳去，像个疯丫头似的大叫大嚷。因为我是全世界最开心的人——我弟弟刚刚赢了100万美元！

玩家甲：我想，十年以后，目前这群站在台上的选手——等我们将来回首往事时，就会看着这群人说：“这就是开端，一切由此开始。”

这些人付出了努力，他们敢于冒险，向世人证明了自己，推动了整个游戏业的进步，给我们开创了崭新的局面。我们得以让全世界见识我们的实力，谁知道我们到时候能走多远呢？

玩家乙：我们已经取得长足的进步。当越来越多人支持电竞，它就会变成越来越正常的事情，从一个小众项目变成被社会普遍接受的竞技活动。

玩家丙：我想，在15年后，电竞会比足球、篮球，以及其他项目都要热门。

玩家丁：那个你觉得他过于沉迷游戏的孩子，他很有可能走上一条年薪25万美元的职业道路。他将飞遍全球，给产品代言。游戏这一行是全球最大的娱乐业，所以如果你成了业界明星，你就有可能成为全世界最火的明星之一。

玩家戊：所以，如果……像其他与电脑相关的事物都能扶摇直上一样，大概过上五到十年，这一行就会出现巨大的飞跃。

塔米·唐（玩家Furryfish）：要改变人们的固有看法从来都不是件容易的事，这确实需要一点时间。等这一代电竞选手都为人父母了，我们会支持自己的孩子打游戏，我想，到那时这个行业就能迅速发展起来了。
