做个片段献给最初最爱的球星Kobe Bryant！

下面是科比宣布退役的原诗及翻译：

Dear Basketball
亲爱的篮球

From the moment
从那个时候起
I started rolling my dad's tube socks
我开始穿着老爸的直筒袜
And shooting imaginary
假装着、想象着
Game-winning shots
我在大西部论坛球馆中
In the Great Western Forum
投中制胜球的样子
I knew one thing was real:
我就清楚知道一件事情：

I fell in love with you.
我爱上了你。

A love so deep I gave you my all —
我爱你如此之深以至奉献我所有 —
From my mind & body
从我的思想和身体
To my spirit & soul.
到我的精神和灵魂。
As a six-year-old boy
六岁时的我
Deeply in love with you
就深深的爱着你
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
我从没想象过这段旅程结束时的样子。
I only saw myself
我只看到我
Running out of one.
在这路上不停奔跑。

And so I ran.
所以我不停地奔跑。
I ran up and down every court
奔跑在每一场比赛中
After every loose ball for you.
只为争取每一次得到你的机会。
You asked for my hustle
你需要我拼尽全力
I gave you my heart
我为你奉上我的全心
Because it came with so much more.
因为这已经不仅仅是尽力而为了。

I played through the sweat and hurt
我为打球流血受伤
Not because challenge called me
不是因为我需要挑战
But because YOU called me.
而是因为你呼唤我。
I did everything for YOU
我为你付出一切
Because that's what you do
因为你也是如此待我
When someone makes you feel as
因为你让我觉得
Alive as you've made me feel.
我是一个鲜活的人。

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
你让一个6岁的孩子实现了他的湖人梦
And I'll always love you for it.
为此我将永远爱你。
But I can't love you obsessively for much longer.
当时我不能再如此迷恋你了。
This season is all I have left to give.
这个赛季是我所能给的仅有的。
My heart can take the pounding
虽然，我的心还能继续承受各种打击
My mind can handle the grind
我的意志还能呢个继续坚持下去
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.
但我的身体让我明白，是时候说再见了。

And that's OK.
那也没关系。
I'm ready to let you go.
我已经准备好跟你说再见了。
I want you to know now
我现在只想让你知道
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
我们两都可以永远珍藏着彼此一起度过的每一段时光。
The good and the bad.
无论是好是坏。
We have given each other
我们已经给了彼此
All that we have.
我们所能给的全部。

And we both know, no matter what I do next
然后我们都知道，接下来无论我做什么
I'll always be that kid
我都会是那个小孩
With the rolled up socks
穿着直筒袜
Garbage can in the corner
角落的垃圾桶
0:05 seconds on the clock
进攻时间还剩0.05秒
Ball in my hands.
球在我手。
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1
五… 四… 三… 二… 一

Love you always,
一直爱你，

Kobe
