偶像勵志英語演講 67:不說絕不(1)
I told my friends I would come here to say "thank you", then walked off. I can't, it's no way. Iget so many people I can thank. In all the videos, you never just saw me, also Scottie Pippenand every championship we won. I've had a lot of questions over the last four weeks.Anybody says "well, why do you pick David Thompson?" I know why, David knows why andmaybe you guys don't know why. But as I grew up in North Carolina, I was eleven years old, 1974, I think, when you guy won the championship. And at that time as a younger guy, Ihated NC, but I ended up in NC. But I was in love with David Thompson, not just for the gamebasketball, but in terms of what he represented. You know, we all, as David says or said we gothrough our trails and tribulations. And he did, and I was inspired by him. And when I calledhim and asked him to stand up for me, I know I shocked a shit out of him. I know I did. But hewas very, very kind to say, "Yeah, I'll do it." And that wasn't disrespect to the North Carolinaguys; we all know I am true blue North Carolina guy to the heart. Coach Smith, Larry Brown,Sam Perkins, James Worthy, you know all of those guys.
我告訴過我的朋友，我會出現(xiàn)在領(lǐng)獎臺上說完謝謝就轉(zhuǎn)身離開。但是，我不能。我需要感謝很多人。在所有的視頻中，你們不會只看到我，還會有皮蓬以及我們贏得的每一個冠軍。在過去的四周里，我收到了很多的問題。他們問：“你為什么會選擇大衛(wèi)·湯姆遜?”我知道其中的原因大衛(wèi)也知道，可能你們都不知道。我從小在北卡羅來納州長大，當(dāng)我11歲的時候，大概是1974年，大衛(wèi)奪得了NBA總冠軍。那時，我是不支持北卡的，但是我被大衛(wèi)·湯姆遜所折服，不僅僅是因為籃球本身，還因為他在其中表現(xiàn)出的態(tài)度與意志。正如大衛(wèi)所說，我們都經(jīng)歷了許多的考驗與磨難，他克服了它們，這深深地激勵了我。當(dāng)我邀請他做我的引薦人的時候，我知道他緊張極了，但是他非常高興地答應(yīng)了。這絕非是對北卡人的不尊重。大家都知道，我是一名真正屬于北卡的人。史密斯教練，拉里·布朗，山姆·伯金斯，詹姆斯·渥斯，你們都知道這些人。
