我們想讓你知道的是

一代傳奇球星Kobe Bryant於2020年1月26日搭機失事,享年41歲,引發球迷惋惜。一起用Kobe Bryant生前的25句名言中英對照,一起來懷念永遠的黑曼巴。

我打球曾經打到手斷、腳踝扭傷、肩膀脫臼、牙齒碎掉、嘴唇裂開、膝蓋腫成一個壘球大小。我不會因為腳趾受傷錯過15場比賽,大家都知道這些都不是最嚴重的事。

9. The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don't have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven't had that fear.

領導這件事是一個敏感的話題。很多領導者失敗,因為他們沒有足夠的勇氣去觸碰痛處,或者引發共鳴。在我的生涯中,我從沒有這種擔憂。

10. I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.

我無法了解懶惰的人,因為我們說的是不同的語言。我不了解懶惰的人,我也不想去了解。

11. I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.

我不想當下一個麥可喬丹,我只想當科比布萊恩。

12. I'm chasing perfection.

我追求完美。

13. Can I jump over two or three guys like I used to? No. Am I as fast as I used to be? No, but I still have the fundamentals and smarts. That's what enables me to still be a dominant player. As a kid growing up, I never skipped steps. I always worked on fundamentals because I know athleticism is fleeting.

我還能像以前一樣跳躍時跳過兩三個人嗎?不,我不行。我還能像我以前跑得一樣快嗎?不,我不行。但我還保有我的基本功跟打球的智慧,這也是讓我能一直成為主要球員的原因。成長過程中,我從來沒有跳過任何一個步驟,一直按部就班,因為我知道,運動員的生涯是短暫的。

14. I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.

我願意做任何能夠贏得比賽的事,即使只是坐在板凳上擰毛巾、遞茶水給隊員,或投出致勝一球。

15. Magic has five championships. I have five championships. I'm pretty sure we both know what we're doing.

魔術強森有5個冠軍。我也有5個冠軍。我敢肯定,我們都知道我們在做什麼。

16. I draw from the crowd a lot.

我從人群學習、得到很多借鏡。

17. I love going one-on-one with someone. That's what I do. I've never lost. It's a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.

我喜歡和某個人一對一,那正是我擅長的,我從來沒輸過。這比賽將會全然不同 — 只要讓他們走到你面前,然後你就可以做任何你想做的事。

18. I'm extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that… it sounds, well, I don't care how it sounds – to me, scoring comes easy. It's not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.

我非常想贏,我回應了那些挑戰。得分王之類的頭銜……它們聽起來好像,嗯,我不在乎它們聽起來怎樣 — 對我來說,得分並不難。贏得「得分王」的頭銜對我來說並不算是個挑戰,因為我知道我可以。
