偶像励志英语演讲 第86期:我会想念你们的(3)

　　Lastly, I want to say that I have really enjoyed my relationship with the media. I tried to have fun with you guys, and you guys would accept to that. A lot of you guys come back. So I appreciate that. Jane, Steven, all the local guys. George Diaz, it was fun. And I'm really gonna miss you guys.
最后，我想说，我很享受与媒体的关系。我平时都喜欢和你们开玩笑，你们都能接受。很感谢你们很多人能过来。感谢简、斯蒂夫、当地的记者们、乔治，那时候真的很有趣。我会想念你们的。
So on the light of today, I am retiring all my nicknames. The Big Aristotle, Shaq-Fu, The Big Shamrock, The Big Cactus¹, The Diesel², and finally, the one and only, original, never to be duplicated or replicated-Superman. So, from now on, you guys can call me The Big AARP. Association for the Advancements³ of Retired⁴ Persons.
从现在开始，之前跟随我的那些绰号被全部丢掉，大亚里士多德、沙克功夫、大三叶草、大仙人掌、大柴油机，最后一个也是最重要的一个，从来没被复制过的、独有的一个——超人。从现在起，你们可以叫我大AARP（退休人员发展协会）。
