今天我們一起聆聽這封簡單、真摯的信。像籃球大神致敬，也學習最貼切、動人的英文情感表達方式。
Dear Basketball Part I
Dear Basketball,
From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:
I fell in love with you.
Tube socks: 球襪
Shooting imaginary shots: 幻想自己投籃
The Great Western Forum: 洛杉磯體育場
To fall in love with someone: 愛上一個人、墜入愛河
Dear Basketball Part II
A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.
As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.
I gave you my all: 付出我所有
Mind and body: 思想、身體
Spirit and soul: 心靈、靈魂
Deeply in love with you: 深深愛著你
The end of the tunnel: 道路的盡頭
Dear Basketball Part III
And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.
I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.
Court: 球場
Hustle: 努力、拼命
Sweat: 汗水
Hurt: 傷痛、傷病
Challenge called me: 挑戰在召喚我
Calling (noun): 召喚
To feel alive: 有存在感
Dear Basketball Part IIII
You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.
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.
We have given each other
All that we have.
Obsessively: 走火入魔般的
Season: 賽季
Can take/handle something: 可以承受
Pouding: 重擊
Grind: 研磨、錘煉
To let you go: 放手讓你走
Savor: 回味
Dear Basketball Part V
And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1
Love you always,
Kobe
No matter...: 不管怎么樣、無論如何
Rolled up socks: 拉起的.球襪
Garbage can in the corner: 角落的垃圾桶
Ball in my hands: 手里的籃球
On the clock: 時鐘
