A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
拳击
Boxing
You don't know what it is to be heavyweight champ of the world until you become the heavyweight champ of the world.
在你成为世界重量级拳王之前，你不知道成为世界重量级拳王是什么滋味。
I've never boxed before in my life. I've had one day's training at a boxing gym, and it's an incredibly difficult sport.
我从来没有打过拳击。我在拳击馆接受了一天的训练，这是一项非常困难的运动。
There's such a big buzz around boxing at the moment. Everything's happening and there's so much building up with a lot of young talent coming through.
目前拳击界正掀起一股热潮。每件事都在发生，有很多年轻的天才正在成长。
In those days, boxing was very glamorous and romantic. You listened to fights on the radio, and a good announcer made it seem like a contest between gladiators.
在那个年代，拳击是非常迷人和浪漫的。你听着广播里的打斗，一个好的播音员把它说成是角斗士之间的比赛。
Upon awakening in the morning, I wondered if the proceedings of the night before had been a dream. It was hard to believe that I was the world's heavyweight champion.
早晨一醒来，我就怀疑前一天晚上发生的一切是不是一场梦。很难相信我是世界重量级冠军。
Boxing is about being hit rather more than it is about hitting, just as it is about feeling pain, if not devastating psychological paralysis, more than it is about winning.
拳击更多的是关于被打，而不是被打，就像它是关于感受痛苦，如果不是毁灭性的心理麻痹，更多的是关于获胜。
But boxing was my profession. I had to go back the second time because I was broke and I couldn't just go and get a college degree and earn it. I had too many bills, too many families.
但拳击是我的职业。我不得不回去第二次，因为我破产了，我不能只是去拿一个大学学位，然后挣到它。我有太多的账单，太多的家庭。
A sight game is that I am hurt, but I aim to make you believe I am not even hurt, and with this confidence appearing on my face, I don't panic, otherwise your opponent will know that you are hurt. That's the whole art game in boxing.
一场视觉游戏是我受伤了，但我的目标是让你相信我没有受伤，带着这种自信出现在我的脸上，我不惊慌，否则你的对手会知道你受伤了。这就是拳击艺术的全部。
Well, of course a boxing match is hard because boxing isn't set for you to do good. You have to force your will upon someone, but dancing you don't have to force your will. It should be a lot easier because if I make a mistake I don't get hit.
当然，拳击比赛是很难的，因为拳击不是为你做好准备的。你必须把你的意志强加于人，但跳舞你不需要把你的意志强加于人。这应该容易得多，因为如果我犯了错误，我不会被击中。
I started boxing when I was eight. I enjoyed when I could hit someone and they couldn't hit me back. It was like a game for me. The feeling of knocking someone out. My first knockout victory was when I was ten. He went down and his nose started to bleed, so they stopped it.
我八岁开始打拳击。我喜欢当我能打到别人而他们却打不到我的时候。对我来说，这就像一场游戏。击倒某人的感觉。我的第一次淘汰赛胜利是在我十岁的时候。他跌倒了，鼻子开始流血，所以他们止住了。
KEEP EXPLORING

当我练习站立时，我确实会使用拳击教练。
I'm a satirist, so I've got boxing gloves on if the person is worthy of satire. But I'm not an assassin.
我是个讽刺作家，所以如果这个人值得讽刺，我就会戴上拳击手套。但我不是刺客。
The bell that tolls for all in boxing belongs to a cash register.
拳击比赛中为所有人鸣响的丧钟属于收银机。
Boxing was not the sport that I thought is was due to all the politics.
拳击并不是一项我认为是由政治因素决定的运动。
In boxing you never know who you're going to face in ring.
在拳击比赛中，你永远不知道在拳击场上你将面对谁。
