没有理由 就是喜欢科比
09月 20th, 2008
kobe bean bryant already has millions of dollars, 22 50-point games, 12 seasons of service in the league, 10 all-star appearances, three rings, two scoring titles, two best-selling jerseys and a signature sneaker from two different shoe companies. (i’ll have to turn that last sentence into a kobe by the numbers piece as the day wears on.) what can a legion of bloggers led by the pied pipers over at hardwood paroxysm write about bryant that’d be worth writing at this point? what good are a couple more thousand words devoted to kb24 flooding the internet all at the same time?
科比在联盟中效力12个赛季,获得一年百万的身价,22场比赛得分达到50+,10次出席全明星,拥有三个冠军戒指,两届得分王,科比的球衣和签名鞋曾都是最畅销的,即使在不同公司旗下。(我想就是因为那个号码穿着那件衣服。)是什么让一个博客军团都来写科比,又是什么值得我们去写?又是什么让一对夫妇可以同时在kb24上发表几千字的文章。
the 21st century has replaced the clich d opening of “if you look up (blank) in the dictionary it’s defined as …” with “if you google (blank) you get x amount of results…” while it’s certainly a clich , it illustrates a point: if you google “kobe bryant” you get 4,280,000 results in a mere 0.11 seconds. four million. that’s more results than there are people in the city of los angeles, where kobe calls home. so again, with bryant already having more web fodder about him than just about anybody outside of britney spears, why is it now that we take a break from blogging about facial hair bets and youtube videos and trade scenarios to add more to the dense pile of kobe clutter that’s already out there?
21世纪起始页的陈词滥调已经被改变,类似于“如果你查询()字典,它被定义为……”“如果你用google搜索(),你会得到很多的结果……”的言语已经存在一个确定的表述:如果你用google搜索kobe bryant,你将在很0.11秒内得到4,280,000个结果。四百万。相信在洛杉矶,科比的家乡,可以搜索到更多的结果。所以,科比已经拥有多于小甜甜布兰妮的网络资源,这也是为什么现在我们打破博客关于商业的陈规,在这之外制造关于科比的密集文件。(为强大的科比欢呼~o(∩_∩)o…哈哈……)
because today is about love.
今天讨论的话题是爱。
kobe doesn’t get much of it. those of us who support him spend more time arguing against kobe haters than just sitting back and enjoying him for the player he is.
但是科比并没有得到太多关于爱的回应。很多科密花都不断的和科黑争论着些什么,更少的去欣赏科比的比赛,享受他带来的精彩瞬间。
i’m tired of that.
我对此感觉疲惫。
yeah, i know kobe is a polarizing figure. i get why he’s not everybody’s cup of tea. he complains about every call, he is a “volume” scorer, he would have naked fingers if it wasn’t for shaq, he’s nothing compared to lebron, he’s even less of a player compared to michael, and on and on and on.
我知道科比是一个有争议的球员,也知道他不是被所有人喜爱。他每次都抱怨说,他只是一个得分手,没有鲨鱼就不会拿到总冠军的戒指,他没有什么可以和小皇帝比的,他说跟乔丹相比作为一个球员他还缺少一些东西,等等等等……
well, today, for 24 hours at least, it stops.
今天,不再有这样的言语,起码持续24小时。
(可能大家看不太懂,其实这里的意思很简单,就是作者准备在24个小时内不断的赞科比。)
today we heap him with enough love to write the lyrics of a beatles song or base the plot around for a hugh grant movie.
今天我们用爱拥护科比,就像是为beatles填词,为hugh grant电影创造情节一样的感觉。
today his arrogance can only be seen as confidence. today he’s not obsessed with basketball, he’s dedicated to his craft. today the impossible shots he makes are works of athletic art, not questionable decisions. today he’s an expert motivator, not a critical teammate.
现在的他,傲气被视为自信;现在的他,不只是热爱篮球,而是在为整个球队的胜利在努力。现在的他,依旧不断的完成着看似不可能的投篮,就像是一种艺术,不是有因可寻的。他是一个懂得激励队友的专家,而不是一个喜欢批评别人的队友。
today we celebrate the mini ‘fro, the alley-oop to shaq against portland, the through-the-legs slam dunk contest clincher, the 81, the 50-point streak, the ot forcer and game winner in the same game against phoenix, the all-star game mvps, the food poisoning in sacto, the oakleys on his head at his press conference announcing his decision to go from preps to pros, the prom with brandy, the slam against the wizards at unlv, the posterizing of dwight and yao …
我们为科比完成对战开拓者时和鲨鱼的空中接力,97年那个经典的胯下扣篮,还有震撼世人的单场81分,连续四场50+,和太阳季后赛中的双绝杀,两次的全明星mvp,在国王的食物中毒事件,和奇才全美直播比赛中的扣篮,还有在霍华德和姚明头上的扣篮等精彩瞬间庆祝。
it’s all part of the story. it’s all part of the love.
这就是所有的故事,这就是爱的所有。
the picture accompanying this post pretty much sums up how i think about kobe: the troubled genius. the brash young talent feeling like the weight of the world is on his shoulders because he knows what he’s blessed with, and he doesn’t want to short change those blessings.
这些记忆中的画面给了我对于科比的印象:一个被困扰住的天才。这个傲气的天才感觉肩上负担着很大的压力,因为他知道他是被怎样的赞颂着,被期许着。
it’s a responsibility that many of his peers ignore. it’s hard to stay hungry enough to put in that extra set of 5 a.m. wind sprints when you have a personal chef that will cook you anything your heart desires when you’re actually hungry.
这是一种责任,但是却被很多人忽略了。潜移默化的,在我们拥有科比,看着他精彩的打球的时候,我们就很难去接受那些索然无味的比赛了。
but as much as kobe stays accountable for doing his talents service with that insane work ethic of his, his personal drive actually ends up helping out the whole nba.
科比因为他的天赋付出了很多,他的个人驱动力帮助整个nba脱离了瓶颈。
the saying goes that a team is only as good as its strongest link, well a league is only as good as the standard of competition set by its strongest link. by just being who he is, kobe gives other players a glimpse of how good they can by if the adopt the same devotion to the game as kobe.
俗话说,队伍因为坚固的纽带变得强大,联盟因为高水平的竞争变得强大。科比,让其他的球员明白他们可以做到多好,如果他们对比赛的尽力程度达到科比一样的水平。
后面只是作者在阐述着他对于科比的喜爱,个人觉得没有什么特别大的意义,翻译的很草草,大家将就着看吧。
with his commitment the playing the game as my motivation, i’ll try to match the same single-minded focus on today, march 11, 2008, a.k.a. kobe bryant blog day.
他对比赛的承诺是我的动力,因此我试着配合今天的比赛来写文,2008年3月11日,属于科比的博客日。
the goal is 24 posts in 24 hours to honor kb24. that doesn’t necessarily mean my fingers won’t stop typing for 1,440 minutes. some hours you’ll get three posts, some you’ll get two, some you’ll get none. there’ll be video. there’ll be stats. there’ll be photos. there’ll be prose. i’ve even been known to write song lyrics from time to time.
目的是24小时内在kb24获得职位24(kb24上面就像我们的论坛一样分等级,他们按职位n来分)。我并不意味着我的手指将会将在1440分钟内停止敲击键盘。有时候你可以看到三个帖子,有时候两个,有时候没有。
this is post no. 1. an intro, certainly, but also an answer. why take today to blog about kobe when seemingly everything worth saying about him has been said before? because we love him.
这是当然是第一份自我介绍的帖子,也算是一个回答。为什么今天通过博客写科比,就像表面上我们知道的一切关于科比可谈论的过去。因为我们爱科比。
and why do we love him?
我们为什么喜欢他呢?
well, today we get to be like the kids in the old apple jacks commercials:
恩,我们就像孩子一样单纯的喜欢着。
we just do, ok?
我们就这样继续支持科比。
