A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
篮球
Basketball
The thing I like about my body is that it's strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It's a well functioning machine.
我喜欢我的身体是因为它很强壮。我可以在我的公寓里搬家具。我会骑马……我会打篮球。这是一台运转良好的机器。
I've accomplished everything a person can accomplish on a basketball court, but I never thought about the future when I was younger. I never made plans for the next stage in my life.
我已经完成了一个人在篮球场上所能完成的一切，但我年轻时从未想过未来。我从来没有为人生的下一个阶段做过计划。
And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight - I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball, because I was a scrub - there were things that I liked about it.
从我八岁第一次打篮球开始——我第一次打篮球时遇到了很多困难，因为我是个废物——我喜欢篮球的一些方面。
What I know is that if you're going to play half-court, you'd better have the greatest executioners of half-court basketball. If you run, you test the stamina and willpower of the other team. That's what I learned as a player.
我所知道的是，如果你要打半场，你最好有最好的半场篮球刽子手。如果你跑步，你是在测试另一队的耐力和意志力。这就是我作为球员学到的。
And it blew my mind when I started to get wind of the fact that they actually liked me being around. That was humbling, because Kentucky basketball is a big deal, and I am not the biggest fan - I am just the most notorious one.
当我听说他们真的喜欢我在他们身边的时候，我很震惊。这让我感到羞愧，因为肯塔基篮球是一件大事，而我不是最大的球迷——我只是其中最臭名昭著的一个。
Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later, they didn't know. So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.
每个人都以为我一年后就会死去，但他们并不知道。所以我帮助教育体育运动，然后告诉全世界，一个感染艾滋病毒的人可以打篮球。他不会通过打篮球把钱给任何人。
As I've said, basketball has been, I think, a real cooperative venture. There have been a lot of people that have been involved in it: coaches, administrators - not recently - fans and nobody, nobody any more so than students over the years.
正如我所说，我认为篮球是一种真正的合作。有很多人参与其中:教练、管理人员(不是最近)、球迷以及多年来最受欢迎的学生。
Once you begin reviewing judgment calls, which in basketball there are many, you put yourself on a very slippery slope in terms of what could be reviewed, and ultimately the number of reviews that could take place that would make it unwieldy.
一旦你开始回顾裁判的判罚，这在篮球中有很多，你就会把自己置于一个非常危险的境地，那就是什么是可以被回顾的，而最终可能发生的评论数量会使它变得难以处理。
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。
In every game, there's three teams out there. There's the two basketball teams and the team of officials. If the two teams are evenly matched, it can come down to number of possessions. If one out-of-bounds call goes the wrong way, that can be the difference.
每场比赛都有三支球队。有两支篮球队和官员队。如果两队势均力敌，这可以归结为拥有的财产数量。如果一个越界调用走错了路，那就是不同之处。
I'm someone who always comes on the court no matter what's going on in my life. It's all about basketball and my teammates and my team. I don't let any distractions in, and I bring my best every night, regardless of what's going on or what people are talking about.
无论我的生活中发生了什么，我总是会出现在球场上。这是关于篮球，我的队友和我的团队。我不让任何干扰进入，我每天晚上都全力以赴，不管发生了什么，不管人们在谈论什么。
I played baseball, and that's pretty much it. Basketball came late, this was, basketball was the sport that I tried to master, I kind of mastered baseball, so basketball was one of those things where I wanted to master this game, so that's why I probably play it the way I do.
我打棒球，仅此而已。篮球来得晚，这是，篮球是我想要掌握的运动，我差不多掌握了棒球，所以篮球是我想要掌握这项运动的东西之一，所以这就是为什么我可能以我现在的方式打球。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
我不是榜样…我扣篮并不意味着我应该抚养你的孩子。
I could've played basketball, but my mind was on baseball. I didn't know what I was in for. In high school it was a matter of talent. No one told you what to do.
我本来可以打篮球，但我的心思却放在棒球上。我不知道我要干什么。在高中，这是天赋的问题。没人告诉你该怎么做。
I love various sports, including basketball, tennis and billiards.
我喜欢各种运动，包括篮球、网球和台球。
I had never made any plans beyond basketball.
除了篮球，我从来没有做过任何计划。
I play basketball for love and money, and they come in interchangeable order, depending on how things are going when you ask the question.
我打篮球是为了爱和钱，它们的顺序是可以互换的，这取决于你问问题的时候情况如何。
I do something that I don't think anyone else does. I warm up before a game. Baseball and basketball players warm up, so why shouldn't the announcer warm up?
我做了一些别人不会做的事情。我在比赛前热身。棒球和篮球运动员要热身，那么播音员为什么不热身呢?
