有人可以翻譯這篇嗎?好像AI要退休了~ - 籃球

※ 引述《tung2008 (tung2008)》之銘言：

: Iverson: "I'll retire before I do this again."
再這麼做前我將要退休

: MacArthur also said, "I shall return."
他是誰？

: On Wednesday, after a dispiriting 111-98 loss to the Nets in which he played
: only 17 minutes and 20 seconds and scored four points, Allen Iverson said
: won't do the latter if he feels his skills, his health and his playing time
: are doing the former.
星期三賽後AI說如果他覺得他的技術，健康和上場時間不如以往時他就不會回到場上。

: Iverson, a free agent after this season and one of the NBA's grittier
: warriors now in his 13th season, said he'd be willing to hang 'em up
: if he couldn't find the right situation for 2009-10.
如果他在下季沒找到合適的環境他就要高掛球衣

: "I won't do this again, in my career," Iverson said of his role as a
: role player with the Pistons. "I'll retire before I do this again. I
: would leave the game before I do this. I can't be effective like I know
: I can playing this way.
AI說他不要在像待在活塞一樣打替補，如果再這麼做就要離開。

: "It's just that I'm not used to it. Just not something I've had to do.
: Like I said, it's hard for me mentally and physically."
"我不習慣。不是我得做的。在身心方面都很困難。"

: Iverson, who came to the Pistons in a Nov. 3 trade for Chauncey Billups,
: missed 16 games because of a back injury, has also been limited by a injury
: to his right shin, which he injured in his first scrimmage after returning
: from his back injury. The physical maladies are weighing on Iverson.
背傷缺賽16場，在回來的第一次對抗賽中又傷了右腳脛。

: "I'm a competitor. I love to play," Iverson said. "There's nothing more
: that I like to do than play basketball. I love to play. I don't think I'm
: any good at playing basketball if I'm not happy. I don't think too many
: people would be.
"我愛打球。如果我不開心的話我不認為我籃球可以打多好。"

: "I'd rather be playing basketball and be happy at the same time. Basketball
: has always made me happy, it's always been a safe haven for me. It's always
: made me happy."
我要開心的打球。籃球總可以讓我開心，對我來說總是個安全的天國。

: He did say he would be satisfied with his career -- as is -- if he did
: choose to retire.
他說如果他選擇退休的話，他會很滿意自己目前的生涯成績。

: "I'm with happy with my career and the things I've done in my career,
: " Iverson said. "I'm blessed, I feel blessed to accomplish the things I
: have accomplished in my career and do the things I've done. I would feel
: fine if I had to do [retire]."
"我對我的生涯和生涯中所做的事感到開心。能完成生涯中的這些事我覺得我是受到祝福的
。如果我得退休的話我會覺得很OK。"

: But he wouldn't like it if he felt he had to make that choice.
: "It's not something I want to do," Iverson said, "because I love
: playing the game so much and I want to be out there on the basketball
: court, if that's something I need to do, then so be it.
但如果他覺得他得做那個選擇的話，他不會喜歡的。"這不是我想做的事，"AI說。
"因為我很愛打球，我想要待在籃球場上，如果那是我得做的事，那就做吧。"

: "At this point in my career, I just want to be somewhere where I can
: be happy. That's the most important thing to me. I don’t want to not
: want to go to work. When you're doing what you love to do, you're
: supposed to love doing it.
"在我生涯這個時候，我只想要待在一個我開心的地方。我不想要不工作。當你做的事你
愛的事時，你應該要很開心的做才是。

: "And once I get to that point when I don't love it anymore, I won't do it."
"一旦發現我不再愛它了，那我就不會再做。

: On Wednesday, it sounded as if he were close.
在星期三，聽起來很接近了。

: "No, I'm not happy at all. I would be lying if I said I was," Iverson
: said. "But I'm trying to do everything I can to be happy other than
: basketball. This is just one phase of my life not my whole life.
"不，我一點也不快樂。如果我說我很快樂那我就是在說謊。"AI說。"但我試著做籃球
之外其他可以快樂的事。這只是我生命中的一個階段而不是全部。"

: "Basketball is not my whole life. I have other part of my life, other
: people in my life that I'm surrounded with that make me happy. This is
: just a stepping stone in my life."
"籃球不是我生命的全部。我生命中有其他部分，我生活中的其他人可以讓我快樂。
這只是我生命中的跳板。"

: About halfway through the fourth quarter of the game, a friend IMed me
: about Iverson.

: "Have you even noticed AI playing tonight?"
比賽到第四節一半時有朋友問我有沒有注意到AI

: Noticed, yes ... especially when a former NBA MVP and nine-time All-Star
: gets a little more than a quarter-hour of playing time, his lowest total
: of the season.
當然有啦，他是前NBA MVP，九度入選明星賽。他的上場時間也是整季最少的。

: But, what he meant was "impact." A.I. once was a guy teams planned for,
: schemed for, accounted for at all times. He could change the course of a
: game as quickly as he could crossover helpless defenders.
但他講的是影響力。AI曾是球隊的計畫，設計戰術，依靠的人。他可以靠
crossover打敗防守者，瞬間改變比賽。

: But at 33-years-old and with 33,000 falls, bumps and bruises on his
: slight frame since he entered the NBA in 1996, A.I. is not that guy
: any longer, especially if he's not on the floor.
但33歲，倒下33000次，渾身是傷的AI已經不是那個人了，特別是如果他不在場上時。

: And with his contract expiring at the end of this season, Iverson's
: value to his current team and any potential future team has never been lower.
他的合約本季就要結束，AI對現在球隊的價值和任何未來可能的球隊價值已經不能再低了。

: Maybe that's why after the game, Iverson sat on his chair in the visiting
: locker room at Izod Center with a faraway look in his eyes, looking at
: nothing in particular.
或許這也是AI在賽後坐在椅子上眼神空洞的原因。

: Or maybe he was just seeing his basketball life flash before his eyes.
或這只是他在從自己的眼裡回顧過去的籃球生涯。

: MORE A.I.

: Most the Iverson quotes above came in the second half of questions Iverson
: answered. In the first half, Iverson started out tersely, then gradually
: opened up.
前半部AI回答得簡潔有力，後半段他則侃侃而談。

: Reporter: Can you see a way to get this thing going?
Q：你看到了讓這情況更好的方式嗎？

: Iverson: Do I see a way? My way probably don't matter.
A：我的方法或許不重要。

: Reporter: Do you get the sense that time's running out. There are only
: seven games left and the other teams are playing well?
Q：你知道時間快沒了。只剩七場比賽，其他球隊打得很好？

: Iverson: I definitely think that way. It seems as if we're not getting
: any better. And teams are elevating their games at the right time.
A：我當然這麼想。似乎我們不能更好了。每個球隊都在適時提升他們的比賽。

: Reporter: How surprised are you that this team after you came here is .500
: and is fighting for a playoff berth?
Q：你對這個球隊在你之後只有五成勝率，還在為季後賽席位打拼有多驚訝？

: Iverson: Definitely surprised.
A：的確驚訝。

: Reporter: What do you think has caused this to happen?
Q：你覺得原因是？

: Iverson: I'm not getting into that. I can't win that battle.
A：我不要談這個。我不能贏得那場戰爭的。


剩下的請其他人接手吧@@
