偶像勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)演講 78:不說(shuō)絕不(12)
I know you guys have got to go. I know I've been up here a lot longer than I told my friends Iwas gonna up here, I cried, I was supposed to get up, and say "Thank you" and walked offand I am not able to do that. So I appreciate it. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. As Iclose, the game basketball has been everything to me, my refuge, my place I've always gonewhen I need to find comfort and peace. It's been a source of intense pain and a source ofthe most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. The one that no one can even imagine. It'sbeen a relationship of bond over time. It gave me the great expects and love for the game. Itprovided me with a platform and shared my passions with millions in the way I neitherexpected nor could have imagined in my career. I hope that it's given millions of people withthat touch, optimism and desire to achieve their goals through hard work, perseverance andpositive attitude. Although I am recognized with this honor of being in the Basketball Hall ofFame, I don't look this moment as the defining end of the relationship between me andbasketball. It simply is a continuation of something I started a long time ago. One day, youmay look up a senior player at a game of 50. Oh, no. Don't laugh. Do't laugh. Never say never,because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.
我知道你們都需要離開(kāi)，我也知道我講了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，我跟朋友說(shuō)我本應(yīng)該說(shuō)完謝謝就轉(zhuǎn)身離開(kāi)。但是，我做不到。我很感謝你們。我的演講就要進(jìn)入尾聲，我想說(shuō)，籃球就是我生命中的一切，我心靈的庇護(hù)，當(dāng)我需要安慰與內(nèi)心的平靜時(shí)，籃球總會(huì)在那里靜靜地等待我。它帶給過(guò)我沉重的傷痛，強(qiáng)烈的喜悅，以及自我的滿足感。這種情感是你們無(wú)法了解與想象的。它就像一種建立許久的交集。它成就了我的偉大也帶給了我無(wú)盡的喜悅。它給我搭建了一個(gè)平臺(tái)，讓我能與成千上萬(wàn)的人一起分享我的激情。這是我在職業(yè)生涯中不曾預(yù)料，也無(wú)法想象的。我希望我能夠激勵(lì)成千上萬(wàn)的人通過(guò)自己的努力、堅(jiān)持不懈以及積極樂(lè)觀的態(tài)度來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)他們的人生夢(mèng)想。雖然今天進(jìn)入名人堂是我職業(yè)生涯中無(wú)上的榮耀，但我不希望這是我籃球情緣的終結(jié)。這僅僅是我從小夢(mèng)想的一種延續(xù)。也許有一天你們會(huì)看到一個(gè)50歲的喬丹在場(chǎng)上打球。別笑、別笑。不要說(shuō)“絕不”，因?yàn)槲覀兯龅降南拗?，比如恐懼，只不過(guò)是一種幻覺(jué)。
Thank you very much!
非常感謝!
