珍藏！科比退役原文——《Dear Basketball》（中英文）

Dear Basketball：

（致我最愛的籃球）

From the moment I started rolling my dad’s tube socks

從我穿上父親的長筒襪，

And shooting imaginary game-winning shots in the Great Western Forum

想象自己在大西部論壇球館投進制勝球時那一刻起，

I knew one thing was real: I fell in love with you.

我便確信：我深深地愛上了你。

A love so deep I gave you my all

我傾其所有的愛上了你——

From my mind &body，to my spirit & soul.

我的心靈和身體，我的激情和靈魂。

As a six-year-old boy，deeply in love with you,

六歲時的我便深深的愛上了你

I never saw the end of the tunnel.

我從未想過盡頭在哪裡，

I only saw myself running out of one.

我看見的只有自己不停奔跑的身影。

And so I ran. I ran up and down every court,

所以我不斷奔跑，在每個球場來回奔跑，

After every loose ball for you.

為了你，去追逐每一個爭搶球，

You asked for my hustle，

你渴望我盡力拼搏，

I gave you my heart,

我便全心待你，

I played through the sweat and hurt

我帶著傷痛打球，在球場上揮灑汗水，

Not because challenge called me

不是因 “挑戰”呼喚我，

But because YOU called me.

而是你在呼喚。

I did everything for YOU

我做的一切都是為了你，

Because that’s what you do when someone makes you feel as alive as you’ve made me feel.

若有人賦予你生命，正如你賦予我活力，你亦會為其全力以赴。

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream

是你成就了一個六歲男孩湖人夢，

And I’ll always love you for it.

我會因此而永遠愛你。

But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.

但我再無法繼續這般迷戀你了，

This season is all I have left to give.

我能給你的所有隻是剩下這個賽季了，

My heart can take the pounding， Mymind can handle the grind，

我的心靈還能承受住打擊，我的意志還能應對磨難，

But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

但我的身體知道，是時候說再見了。

And that’s OK. I’m ready to let you go. I want you to know now so we both can savor every moment we have left together. The good and the bad.

沒關係，我已經準備好放下你了，我希望你現在就知道，如此我們便可一起盡情享受餘下的每一刻時光，不論歡喜，還是悲傷。

And we both know,no matter what I do next,

我們都知道，不管我接下來做什麼，

I’ll always bethat kid

我永遠都是那個孩子，

With the rolled upsocks，garbage can in the corner,

穿著捲筒襪，瞄準角落裡的垃圾筒，

5 seconds on the clock，ball in my hands

手捧籃球，倒計時5秒。

5…4…3…2…1…

5，4， 3，2，1

Love you always,

愛你，至死不渝！

Kobe
