偶像勵志英語演講 78:不說絕不(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，我也知道我講了很長時間，我跟朋友說我本應(yīng)該說完謝謝就轉(zhuǎn)身離開。但是，我做不到。我很感謝你們。我的演講就要進入尾聲，我想說，籃球就是我生命中的一切，我心靈的庇護，當(dāng)我需要安慰與內(nèi)心的平靜時，籃球總會在那里靜靜地等待我。它帶給過我沉重的傷痛，強烈的喜悅，以及自我的滿足感。這種情感是你們無法了解與想象的。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盡的喜悅。它給我搭建了一個平臺，讓我能與成千上萬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，也無法想象的。我希望我能夠激勵成千上萬的人通過自己的努力、堅持不懈以及積極樂觀的態(tài)度來實現(xiàn)他們的人生夢想。雖然今天進入名人堂是我職業(yè)生涯中無上的榮耀，但我不希望這是我籃球情緣的終結(jié)。這僅僅是我從小夢想的一種延續(xù)。也許有一天你們會看到一個50歲的喬丹在場上打球。別笑、別笑。不要說“絕不”，因為我們所遇到的限制，比如恐懼，只不過是一種幻覺。
Thank you very much!
非常感謝!
