财富精英励志演讲65:不要怀疑,相信自己(4)(在线收听

   "OK," I said, "let's go for it."

  我说:“好。那我们就这么做吧。”
  The two became Lakers, and then it only remained to have a guru with mythical statistics, Phil Jackson. Another Hall of Famer added to my cup, which no doubt was runneth over. Another three championships, each one distinct and flavorful.
  就这样,这两人成了湖人队的成员。就剩下菲尔·杰克逊这个有着神秘魔力的人物还没说到了。有了这样一个名人堂巨星在我的队伍里,我别提有多髙兴了。所以之后我们捧得了三年的冠军。每一次都贏得那么不同寻常。
  But chapter two had an ending as well. We had a few bad years. We missed the playoffs another time, the second in my 31 years. But good fortune was still on my side. He listened to my plea when I said "Come back, Phil, come back!" I mixed in a little Spanish future Hall of Famer named Gasol, and voila! Another two championships.
  这第二章的结局很好,但是之后我们又经历了一段糟糕的时间。 在我31年的职业生涯里,我们第二次错过了季后赛。不过,幸运之神还是眷頋我们。我哀求道:“回来吧,菲尔,回来吧丨”我招进了 有西班牙血统的、将来会在名人堂占有一席之地的加索尔。瞧吧,我们就又得到了两次冠军,
  Life is good, life is sweet. I am blessed with a wonderful family, who have helped me and guided me every step of the way. This support is the best anybody could ever have. I say thank you, my children.
  生活是美好的,生活是甜美的。我有幸拥有这样美好的家庭,他们帮助我,指引我在这条道路上前进。这种支持是相当难得的。孩子们,我要对你们说声谢谢。
  So you see it's really not such a miracle I'm here. These men put their hands together, their souls together, and brought me with them. And I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart."
  所以,我站在这里完全不是一个奇迹。是我们的队员们手拉着手,团结一心,把我带到这个奖台上的。我从心底里感谢每一个人。

  杰里·巴斯(1933.01.27~2013.02.18),男,1933年1月27日出生于美国盐湖城。杰里·巴斯对于享誉世界的湖人队来说是一个里程碑式的人物,湖人在巴斯的经营下迅速成为NBA最成功的球队之一。20世纪50年代,杰里·巴斯依靠房地产起家,并于1979年与合伙人一起花6750万美元买下湖人等球队。带领湖人队赢得10个总冠军,贾巴尔、魔术师约翰逊、奥尼尔和科比·布莱恩特这样的巨星先后在这里绽放光芒。赶走奥尼尔使他在相当一部分球迷中失去了口碑,不过以科比为核心重新塑造了湖人。1979年湖人队的单独估价是1600万美元,而福布斯杂志估计,2013年的湖人队价值10亿美元。北京时间2013年2月18日晚因癌症在美国洛杉矶去世,享年80岁。
