A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
球员
Player
The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.
棋盘宛如世界，一个个棋子仿佛世间的种种现象，游戏规则就是我们所称的自然法则。另一边的球员对我们隐藏起来了。
I'm basically a cocktail jazz kind of pianist. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a very good keyboard player. People think I think I'm good. I think I'm a very poor piano player.
我基本上是个鸡尾酒爵士钢琴家。我会第一个承认我不是一个很好的键盘手。人们认为我很优秀。我想我钢琴弹得很差。
You know you can get gaudy with something, and they didn't do that. To me, I think it's very tasteful, well done, with the silver and gold and the engraving. I think it's very tasteful.
你知道你可以用一些花哨的东西，但他们没有那样做。对我来说，我认为这是非常有品位的，做得很好，与银，金和雕刻。我认为它很有品位。
I'd always have grease in at least two places, in case the umpires would ask me to wipe one off. I never wanted to be caught out there with anything though, it wouldn't be professional.
我总会在至少两个地方涂上油脂，以防裁判让我擦掉一个。不过，我从来不想在那里被发现有任何东西，那样做不专业。
I'm an action player. I like to be aggressive. I don't like to be on the run. I like to feel like I have the fates in my hands and that through my skill or lack thereof I control my fate.
我是一名动作玩家。我喜欢积极进取。我不喜欢忙个不停。我喜欢感觉命运掌握在自己手中，通过我的技能或缺乏技能，我可以控制自己的命运。
Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested, Crystal Palace being one, but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.
足球和板球是我成长过程中的主要运动。我曾尝试过成为一名足球运动员，有几家俱乐部对我感兴趣，水晶宫就是其中之一，但板球成了我选择的职业。
There is nothing like a Bach fugue to remove me from a discordant moment... only Bach hold up fresh and strong after repeated playing. I can always return to Bach when the other records weary me.
没有什么比巴赫赋格曲更能让我从不和谐的时刻中解脱出来……只有巴赫在反复演奏之后才能保持清新有力。当其他唱片使我厌烦时，我总是能回到巴赫。
I even found it difficult to watch myself playing on TV because I couldn't identify with the person on the screen. I couldn't get to grips with it. It was as if it was all happening to someone else.
我甚至发现在电视上看自己打球很困难，因为我无法认同屏幕上的人。我无法控制它。好像这一切都发生在别人身上。
OK, the wonderful thing about soccer is, a football is a perfectly round object, and it doesn't make mistakes. The player using it makes mistakes. And the more you use it, the less mistakes you make.
足球的美妙之处在于，足球是一个完美的圆形物体，它不会出错。使用它的玩家会犯错误。你用得越多，你犯的错误就越少。
And I think they loved me because I loved being part of their team, you know, and I quite often say to kids, that I was the worst player in the world's best football team - and that was good enough for me.
我想他们爱我是因为我喜欢成为他们球队的一员，你知道，我经常对孩子们说，我是世界上最好的足球队里最差的球员——这对我来说已经足够好了。
I love being an older comic now. It's like being an old soccer or an old baseball player. You're in the Hall of Fame and it's nice, but you're no longer that person in the limelight on the spot doing that thing.
我现在喜欢做一个老漫画演员。这就像一个老足球或老棒球运动员。你进入了名人堂，这很好，但你不再是那个在聚光灯下做那件事的人。
A professional player is smarter than a college man. He uses his noodle. He knows what to do and when to do it. He rarely goes up in the air as is the case with most of our college players when they get in a tight place.
职业运动员比大学生聪明。他用他的面条。他知道该做什么，什么时候做。他很少像我们大学里的大多数球员那样，当他们处于困境的时候，他很少会高高在上。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I haven't seen a player in this game, as long as I've been in it, that can't be pitched to... Barry is an outstanding ballplayer. I respect him an awful lot. I also have confidence in my pitchers that they can pitch to Barry Bonds and get him out.
我在这款游戏中还没有见过任何一个玩家，只要我参与其中，这款游戏就不能被定位为……巴里是一位杰出的球员。我非常尊重他。我也对我的投手有信心，他们可以投给邦兹，让他出局。

They used to say, 'If we find a good black player, we'll sign him.' They was lying.
他们常说，‘如果我们找到一个好的黑人球员，我们就签下他。他们在撒谎。
You know I was a shy guy and people didn't know that and still don't know it today. I'm sure basketball brought my shyness out because of the fact that you have to do interviews, and that people are always talking to you in terms of the fans and everything.
你知道我是个害羞的人，人们不知道，直到今天也不知道。我确信篮球让我变得害羞，因为你必须接受采访，人们总是从球迷和其他方面和你交谈。
Never charge a player and, above all, no pointing your finger or yelling.
永远不要向球员收费，最重要的是，不要指指点点或大喊大叫。
