欧美文化博览 迈克尔•乔丹传(8)

 

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career.

在我的职业生涯中，自己已经错过了超过9000个球。

I think what made him so special as a marketing¹ icon² is that he was natural. Today, when everyone really tries to be like Mike, they're trying so hard to invent a personal, I think that people see through that and it doesn't stand the test of time.

我想是什么令他作为市场营销的偶像如此特别,那就是他的自然。今天,大家都很努力地做喜欢的迈克,而他们则会发现很难做自己,我认为人们明白了自己经不起时间的考验。

I've failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed.

在我的生活中,自己已经无数次屡尝败绩,而这也是为什么我能成功。

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome once again the Bulls basketball. playoff basketball as we move to the Eastern Conference Finals---the Bulls and the Indiana Pacers. These two teams were two and two in the regular season. But the rivalry³ really begins on a Sunday afternoon in Chicago. Miller⁴ and Jordan and a cast of characters that is not afraid to win.

各位,下午好,欢迎再次收看公牛队。您现在看到的是季后赛东部决赛中公牛和印第安那步行者队的较量。这两支球队在常规赛中不相伯仲。但竞争在芝加哥一个星期日的下午才真正开始。米勒和乔丹等一系列的大腕级角色就是为胜利而来。

Here's Michael, slips and falls down, gets back up into the lane, hops⁵ through, falls, fires on the rim⁶ and it's good!

迈克尔拿球,有些踉跄,但重新调整后又站起来,晃动过人,边线投篮，得手了!
