Aaron Ramsey admits it is a 'special' honour for him to have been named
Wales' youngest-ever captain.
Aaron Ramsey 認為這對他是個特別的榮譽：成為威爾斯國家隊最年輕的隊長。

The Arsenal midfielder will lead his country into battle against England on
Saturday in their Euro 2012 qualifier.
這名 Arsenal 中場球員會在週六的 Euro 2012 資格賽，率隊迎擊英格蘭隊。

Running out with the armband on at the Millennium Stadium will complete a
remarkable turnaround for the youngster, who suffered an horrific broken leg
while on club duty just over a year ago.
於 Millennium球場 穿戴隊長臂章，對這名年輕的球員會是顯著的轉變，畢竟曾在一年前
於英超賽事中斷腿。

The 20-year-old, who was selected as skipper by Gary Speed ahead of more
experienced colleagues, admits he is delighted to have been handed the
captaincy and hopes his performances on the field will justify his manager's
faith.
20歲的他，被 Gary Speed 選為隊長而非其他資歷較深的球員，表示自己很高興被賦予
隊長的職責，並期許自己在球場以好表現來證實主教練對他的信任。

"I feel over the moon and honoured to be captain of my country at such a
young age," said Ramsey.
『我非常開心，能在如此年輕之際就榮膺自己國家隊的隊長，』Ramsey 表示。

"Ever since I was a boy I have wanted to be a professional footballer and to
captain my country one day. That day has come now and it's a very special
moment for me.
『自小我就夢想著有一天能成為職業足球員並帶領著國家隊。如今那一天此刻就來，對我
來說意義非凡。』

"It was a bit of a surprise, but a very nice one. I am just happy that he
[Speed] has given me this opportunity to become captain and now I hope to
lead by example in the way I play.
『這令我感到驚訝，但卻是個好消息。我對於 教練(Speed)給我機會來擔任隊長感到開心，
並期許自己能做好榜樣來領導球隊。』

"I won't be screaming and shouting. I just have to lead by example. There are
10 other players out there who could easily be captain.
『我不會驚聲尖叫的。我只是要以自身為榜樣來帶領球隊。隊裡還有許多球員都是很好的
模範也足以擔任隊長的。』

"It's probably one of the biggest games you can play in. It's going to be a
great and special occasion for me to lead the team out in front of a full
house at home against England."
『這將會是意義重大的比賽。領導球隊在主場迎擊英格蘭隊，對我而言會是重要且特別的
日子。』


Experience
經驗

Aston Villa's James Collins and Swansea's Ashley Williams were among those
believed to be in the running for the captaincy and Ramsey admits he is
fortunate to have so many seasoned professionals alongside him.
Aston Villa 的 James Collins 和 Swansea 的 Ashley Willams 都是被認為能角逐隊長
一職的球員，Ramsey 認為自己很幸運能在有經驗的職業球員之中。

He said: "There is a lot of experience throughout the team. Craig Bellamy has
been captain before, Collins has had lot of experience. I'm sure they won't
need telling what to do, because they are so experienced."
他說：『隊裡的球員都是非常有經驗的球員。Craig Bellamy 曾經擔任過隊長，Collins
有著多年的比賽經驗。我肯定他們都不需要多說什麼，因為他們本身就是經驗老到的球員

Ramsey admits he would not want to be the one to have to tell Cardiff's
on-loan frontman Bellamy that he was in the wrong, so he is hoping the former
national skipper has a good game.
Ramsey 承認自己不想成為唯一該告訴目前租借在 Cardiff 的前鋒 Bellamy 做錯事的球員
，所以期許曾是隊長得 Bellamy 能有好表現。
貌似 Bellamy 的個性鬧得很僵？

He said with a smile: "I get on with Craig pretty well and we talk quite
often. If he needs shouting at I won't be the one to do it, but hopefully
that won't need to be done."
他微笑地說：『我和 Craig 處得不錯，也經常聊天。如果他得大聲嚷嚷，我不願成為唯一
來處理這事的人，但最好能不發生。』
所以，暗指 Bellamy 在球場上很容易發脾氣？

The Gunners starlet has also spoken of his joy and having seen his career
turn full circle in the space of 12 months.
這名槍手小將也提及了自己的喜悅、和親自經歷在一年來如此大的變化。
註：Ramsey 才20歲喔！

"It just shows the highs and lows of football and how quickly things can turn
around," he said.
『這只不過是展示了足球人生的高低起伏，以及事情變化得如此迅速，』他說。

"I broke my leg just over a year ago and that was a really low period for me.
This is now the best moment in my career so far and it's amazing how quickly
things can turn around."
『我曾在一年前有過斷腿的經驗，那真是我最難捱過的時期。但是現在卻是我一生最棒的
一刻，更令人驚喜的是事情變化如此的快速。』
