2016年4月14日，科比在退役時(shí)寫的這段話海洼，感動(dòng)了無(wú)數(shù)人跨新，今天讓我們?cè)僮x一次。
Dear Basketball：
親愛(ài)的籃球：
From the moment Istarted rolling my dad’s tube socks
自第一次穿上父親的筒襪坏逢，
And shootingimaginary game-winning shots in the Great Western Forum
想象自己在大西部論壇球館投進(jìn)制勝球時(shí)域帐，
I knew one thingwas real: I fell in love with you.
我便確信：我深深地愛(ài)上了你。
A love so deep Igave you my all
深愛(ài)是整，故為你傾其所有——
From my mind &body肖揣，to myspirit & soul.
我的心靈、我的身體浮入、我的精神龙优，以及我的靈魂。
As a six-year-oldboy事秀，deeplyin love with you,
六歲時(shí)彤断，深深地鐘情于你，
I never saw the endof the tunnel.
卻從未見(jiàn)隧道盡頭的一抹曙光易迹，
I only saw myselfrunning out of one.
只見(jiàn)自己不停奔跑的身影宰衙。
And so I ran. Iran up and down every court,
所以我不斷奔跑，在每個(gè)球場(chǎng)來(lái)回奔跑睹欲，
After every looseball for you.
為了你供炼，去追逐每一個(gè)爭(zhēng)搶球，
You asked for myhustle窘疮，
你渴望我盡力拼搏袋哼，
I gave you myheart,
我便全心待你，
I played throughthe sweat and hurt
我?guī)е鴤创蚯蚩加啵沽鳑驯常?/p>
Not becausechallenge called me
不是因 “挑戰(zhàn)”呼喚我先嬉，
But because YOUcalled me.
而是你在呼喚。
I did everythingfor YOU
我做的一切都是為了你楚堤，
Because that’swhat you do when someone makes you feel as alive as you’ve made me feel.
若有人賦予你生命疫蔓，正如你賦予我活力含懊，你亦會(huì)為其全力以赴。
You gave asix-year-old boy his Laker dream
你賜予了一個(gè)六歲男孩湖人夢(mèng)衅胀，
And I’ll alwayslove you for it.
我會(huì)因此而永遠(yuǎn)愛(ài)你岔乔。
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
但我再無(wú)法繼續(xù)這般迷戀你了，
This season is allI have left to give.
這個(gè)賽季滚躯，將是最后一程雏门。
My heart can takethe pounding， Mymind can handle the grind
我的心靈還能承受住打擊掸掏，我的心態(tài)還能處理磨難茁影。
But my body knowsit’s time to say goodbye.
但我的身體知道，是時(shí)候說(shuō)再見(jiàn)了丧凤。
And that’s OK. I’mready to let you go. I want you to know now so we both can savor every momentwe have left together. The good and the bad.
這無(wú)妨募闲。我已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了放手，我希望你現(xiàn)在就知道愿待，如此我們便可一起盡情享受余下的每一刻時(shí)光浩螺，不論歡喜，還是悲傷仍侥。
And we both know,no matter what I do next,
我們都知道要出，不管我接下來(lái)做什么，
I’ll always bethat kid
我永遠(yuǎn)都是那個(gè)孩子农渊，
With the rolled upsocks患蹂，garbagecan in the corner,穿著筒襪，瞄準(zhǔn)墻角的垃圾筒砸紊，
05 seconds on theclock况脆，ball inmy hands
手捧籃球，倒計(jì)時(shí)5秒批糟。
5…4…3…2…1…
5格了，4， 3徽鼎，2盛末，1
Love you always,
愛(ài)你，至死不渝否淤！
