西門媽媽：西門被交易後在電話中崩潰了；人們把西門當笑話讓我很憤怒

Young men tend not to discuss such things with their parents, but late last year
his mum moved to the US anyway. “There is this perception that if you enjoy al
l the good stuff, you’ve gotta be prepared for the bad stuff, but this level of
relentless hatred was totally disproportionate,” argues Julie Simmons. “I got
to a point where I was so enraged, because I felt what they were doing was dang
erous and ill-informed and just wrong. It almost became a sport – to pile on an
d make a joke about it, make a joke of him, but he’s a person. He’s my son.”

西門媽媽談西門遭遇：我的觀念是，如果你享受一件事物給你帶來的美好，你就必須做好接
受它不好一面的準備，但人們對西門無情的仇恨程度是完全不成比例的，我非常憤怒，因為
我覺得他們所做的事情是危險的、是無知的，是錯誤的。嘲弄西門幾乎變成了人們的一項活
動，每個人都把西門當成笑話，去拿他開玩笑，但他是一個人，他是我的兒子。

In February 2022 Simmons was finally traded to the Brooklyn Nets, to be part of
a hoped-for “super team”. He immediately called his mum. “He literally broke
down over the phone – ‘Mum, I’m going to Brooklyn’ – and I could hear it in
his voice,” she says. “I could hear him take a breath. I could tell he was ha
ving a moment. I said, ‘Ben, put it all behind you, honey,’ but, of course, no
thing gets put behind you.”

2022年2月，西門最終被交易到布魯克林籃網隊，成為人們期待中的超級球隊的一員，他立
刻打電話給他媽媽。

西門媽媽：西門在電話裡真的崩潰了——「媽媽，我要去布魯克林了」——我能從他的聲音
裡聽出來，我能聽到他的深呼吸，我能感覺出來他情緒不太好。我說「西門，把這一切都拋
在腦後，親愛的。」但是，當然，沒有什麼事情能完全被遺忘。
