欧美文化博览 迈克尔•乔丹传(19)

 

Three-one, do you still feel like you guys are the underdogs?

3比1，你觉得你们还会遇到上次的事情吗?

No, we're in the driver's seat right now, and, you know, we just have to come out, ready to play next game, and, you know, try to put it away.

不会的,我们现在非常安全,你知道,我们跃跃欲试,为下一场比赛准备充分,你知道,我们尝试把它忘记。

Before game five, the celebration had already begun.

在第5节比赛前，庆典已经开始了。

I said, come on. Baby, don't you want to go, back to the same old place, sweet home Chicago.

我说,来吧。宝贝,难道你不想去那里吗？回到老地方,回到甜蜜的家芝加哥。

Can I ask you, how big does that look on IMAX? Does that look like a gigantic bucket of popcorn¹ on an IMAX screen? It's a whole mountain of it, folks.

我能问你,这么大用IMAX看会是什么效果?这看起来是不是像在IMAX影院巨大桶的那种爆米花?好像整个山多呢,伙计们。

Come on, man. Everything on court is all for the heart and lay it out on the basketball court. When we come out of the court, we're all celebrating, and Joe's going to be happy.

来吧,伙计。在篮球场的一切都是为了让自己无怨无悔。当我们走出场,我们开始了庆祝活动,并且乔丹肯定非常开心。

Let's go, baby!

我们走吧,宝贝!

Before there was anything to really celebrate, Karl Malone and the Jazz found an answer to every move the Bulls made.

在真正的庆祝开始前,卡尔?马龙和爵士队找到公牛队的每一个动作的答案。

In game five, the Bulls came up empty, and Michael walked out of the United Center for the last time.

在第五节,公牛队斗争昂扬,迈克尔最后一次走进了场地。

Back in Utah for practice the following day, the defeat was already forgotten, for here was another secret to the spell Michael had held over the rest of the league ever since his first championship. Even when the Bulls weren't superior physically², they had a philosophical³ edge.

在犹他州练习回来的第二天, 已经忘记了那次失败,因为这里是迈克尔自从他第一个总冠军以来的秘密之地。即使当牛队身体状态欠佳时,他们仍有精神上的寄托。

I think Phil had a lot to do with that, with his Zen practice, his whole emotional approach to a game of basketball.I've experienced a lot of different coaches, but he gave me the understanding about life in a whole different frame.I think his teaching toward the understanding of Zen Buddhism⁴ is how you view yourself to deal with the realities of life surrounding you, and somehow be able to correlate that to a simple game as basketball.

我觉得菲尔应该有很多事情要做,与他的心态有关,他对篮球比赛的个人情感。我已经经历了很多不同的教练,但他给我的是在一个完全不同框架的生活的理解。我认为他对佛教的理解是如何看待自己去处理你周围现实的生活,而且不知何故就能够将一种简单的游戏比如篮球同生命联系起来。
