A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
篮球
Basketball
About the time you think you are getting to know the moves in this game, someone comes along and does everything but undress you on the basketball floor. Standing there under the basket with your hands cupped - and finding that you don't have the ball in them - is a great little old leveler.
当你认为你正在了解这场比赛的动作时，有人出现了，除了在篮球场上给你脱衣服，他什么都做了。站在篮下，双手捧成杯状，却发现自己手中没有球，这是一个伟大的老将。
I played a little basketball, but basketball interfered with theater season. That's when we did our term plays and did nutshell versions of Shakespeare for English classes. And, believe me, I got a fair amount of looks from the guys on the team. 'You're in theater but you can play football?'
我打了一点篮球，但篮球妨碍了戏剧季节。那时候我们在英语课上做了学期剧和莎士比亚的果壳版本。而且，相信我，我从队里的人那里得到了相当多的关注。“你在剧院，但你会踢足球?”
A friend of mine has a house with a basketball court and a pool. The guys go over and play basketball; I lie by the pool and nap in the sun. That defines me. That's consistent with who I am. I don't pretend to play basketball because I wanna feel like one of the guys. I wanna lie in the sun and relax.
我的一个朋友有一个带篮球场和游泳池的房子。男孩们过去打篮球;我躺在池塘边，在阳光下打盹。定义我。这和我是谁是一致的。我不想假装打篮球，因为我想让自己成为其中一员。我想躺在阳光下放松一下。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team.
有时候一个球员最大的挑战就是在球队中扮演好自己的角色。
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。
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。
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。
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。
