Esteemed Director Li Yuyi李毓毅,上海体育总局局长,书记,这个地方为什么要单独把他译出来?因为中西方文化的差异
, distinguished guests, friends in the media:
大家好,感谢大家的光临。
Good afternoon!
今天对我来说是一个重要的日子,无论是对我以往的篮球职业生涯,还是未来的个人发展,都具有特殊的意义。
Today is an important day for me. It is a day of special significance for both my past professional career and future “过去”与“未来”时间上的对比,另外endeavor的译法也很活泼
去年年底,我的左脚第三次应力性骨折,我不得不离开赛场。半年多以来,和许多关心我的朋友一样,我也是在漫长的期待当中度过的。这段时间里,内心十分纠结,反复思考。为此,今天我要宣布一个个人决定:作为篮球运动员,我将结束自己的运动生涯,正式退役。
At the end of last year, I once again had a stress fracture in my left footI作主语,而不是用my left foot,体现出灵活变通
and had to sit out of basketball这个表达值得学****br/>. Since then, like many friends who cared about me, I waited and hoped that I could returnI waited for such a long time,但是原文的译法体现出了姚明盼望回归的心境,hope后面跟虚拟式
. It was also a frustrating纠结的结果,想不明白就是沮丧
period, many thoughts crossed my mindIdiomatic
. Today, I am ready to announce to everyone my decision: I will end my athletic career and formally retire from the game of basketball.
此时此刻,回顾过去,展望未来,我的内心充满感激。
At this moment, looking towards the future and looking back through the past这个是不是和西方人的将来主义有点关系?
, my heart is full of gratitude.
我首先要感谢篮球。这项伟大的运动为无数人带来了快乐,当然也包括我自己。篮球使我延续了家庭的传承,每每看到父母欣慰的眼神,我都无比自豪;从那时起,篮球把我和身后这座城市联系在了一起;在CBA夺冠
