This is what Kobe Bryant said about basketball, his wife and his daughtersBy Steve Almasy/ February 2, 2020The Los Angeles Lakers paid tribute to Kobe Bryant during the team's first game since the NBA legend died in a helicopter crash.在科比 布莱恩因空难去世后的第一次比赛时，洛杉矶湖人队向这位NBA传奇巨星致敬。During the memorial, renowned cellist Ben Hong played at center court as a video of the basketball legend appeared on the scoreboard. Here's what Bryant said:期间，著名大提琴演奏家Ben Hong在球场中央进行演奏，在记分牌的上方，篮球巨星出现在了屏幕中。布莱恩如是说：Once upon a time there was a young basketball player who had dreams of becoming one of the greatest basketball players of all-time.从前有一个年轻的篮球运动员，他梦想成为有史以来最伟大的篮球运动员之一。 He had the opportunity to go to the NBA and play against the greatest players in the world. If that doesn't get you going, I don't think anything will.他有机会去NBA和世界上最伟大的球员比赛。如果那都无法让你开始努力的话，我想什么都无济于事了。 It's like a dream come true.I couldn't even dream of this when I was a kid. You know. Just no way possible. It's just, you know, just a blessing from above.当我还是个孩子的时候我做梦都想不到会这样。你知道的。不可能想到。就是，你知道，这是老天的恩宠。 The joy of the game comes from just being out there and just playing. The competitive side of me thinks we can win every game that we play.运动的乐趣来自于上场比赛。我内在的竞争意识认为我们可以赢得每场比赛。 What I've learned is to ... always keep going.Do you love the process? That gets you to that. Those boring, agonizing moments. If you love that, then you know you found something that's really true to you.你喜欢这个过程吗？那中间的过程。那些无聊，痛苦的时刻。如果你喜欢，那么你就知道你找到了对你来说真正有用的东西。agonizing：使人十分痛苦的;令人焦虑不安的You know, if you do the work, you work hard enough, dreams come true. Those times when you get up early and you work hard. Those times when you stay up late and you work hard. Those times when you don't feel like working, you're too tired, you don't want to push yourself , but you do it anyway. That is actually the dream.你知道，如果你做事，你足够努力，梦想就会成真。当你早起努力工作的时候。当你熬夜努力工作的时候。当你不想工作的时候，你太累了，你不想强迫自己，但是你还是去做了。那其实就是梦想。If you're a fan of mine, you're a fan of winning. You're fan of the Lakers. That's never going to change.如果你是我的粉丝，你就是胜利的粉丝。你是湖人队的粉丝。这些永远不会变。Man, I gave my soul to this game. There was nothing more I could give.伙计，我把我的灵魂奉献给了这场比赛。我把一切都奉献了。I wanted to be one of the best basketball players to ever play and anything else that was outside of that lane, I didn't have time for.我想成为有史以来最好的篮球运动员之一，其它的事我根本不做，我没时间。It's not about my jerseys that are hanging up there for me. It's about the jerseys that were hanging up there before.这不是为了那件为我挂在那里的那件球衣。这是关乎那些在我以前挂上球衣的那些前辈。Growing up and watching all these great players play and learning so much from them. To now be a part of that wall, you know, means everything to me.在成长过程中，看着这些伟大的球员打球，从他们身上学到很多东西。现在能挂在那面墙上，对我来说意味着一切。When you get older you start to understand that really it's about the next generation. That these championships do come and go. But the most important thing you can do is to pay everything that you've learned forward to the next generation to come. And that's truly how you create something that lasts forever. 当你越来越大你就会理解这关乎下一代。冠军时来时往，但你能做的最重要的就是把你所学到的传给下一代。你就真的创造了一些永恒的东西。I love storytelling. Can you imagine, like, winning an Oscar, how ridiculous that would be?我喜欢讲故事。你能想象吗，就像，赢得奥斯卡，这得多不可思议？Unfortunately for us athletes, we've been pigeonholed into thinking that we can only be one thing.对我们运动员来说不幸的是，我们被主观地认为我们只能做一件事。pigeonholed: 将(某人)轻率分类;主观划分(某人)为
I'm here to show people that we can do much more than that. Winning an Oscar, winning an Emmy and an Annie, those are things that are showing other athletes that come after, no, no, there's more to this thing.我来这里是告诉人们，我们可以做得更多。赢得奥斯卡，赢得艾美，赢得安妮，这些可以告诉后面的运动员能做什么，不，不，能做的事多着呢。
The discipline, the commitment, the team, the community. How do I take those lessons and move those here? Having that sharp focus is something that I got from the game of basketball.纪律，承诺，球队，社区。我是怎么学会这些，并怀揣着它们继续向前走？拥有敏锐的专注力，是我从篮球运动中学到的。You have to dance beautifully in the box that you're comfortable dancing in. My box was to be extremely ambitious within the sport of basketball. Your box is different than mine. Everybody has their own. It's your job to try to perfect it and make it as beautiful of a canvas as you can make it. And if you have done that, then you have lived a successful life. You have lived with Mamba Mentality.在这块属于你的场地上，你就要跳得漂亮。我的场地就是在篮球运动中有超长的建树。你的场地和我的不同。每个人都有属于自己的一片天空。你的工作是尽量使它完美，使它像画布一样美丽。如果你做到了，那么你就活得相当成功，你就是用黑曼巴的心态在生活。And being married to my wife, Vanessa, is, it's fun. We have a good time together. I love her tremendously. But we're best friends too. It's a blessing. And when we're raising our daughters one of the things we choose to do is you just got to try your best and you just got to give it your all. Give it everything you have.和我妻子瓦妮莎结婚是种享受。我们渡过了美好时光。我非常爱她。但我们也是最好的朋友。这是一种恩典。当我们抚养我们的女儿时，我们选择要做的就是必须尽你最大的努力，你必须全力以赴。把你所有的都给她们。As parents you've have to lead by example. If you want your kids to do whatever it is you want to accomplish in life, you have to show them. I have four girls, so my mission is to make sure women have opportunities. Our daughters will grow up understanding that they can be strong, they can be independent. They can be fierce.作为父母，你必须以身作则。如果你想让你的孩子做到你想在生活中做到的任何事情，你必须做出表率。我有四个女孩，所以我的任务是确保妇女有机会。我们的女儿长大后会明白，她们可以坚强，可以独立，她们可以很凶猛。I just love spending time with my family and just being a husband, being a father, being a goofball, just having a good time with my kids.我很喜欢和家人呆在一起，做一个丈夫，做一个父亲，做一个大傻瓜，和我的孩子们开心地玩耍在一起。I grew up a diehard, I mean, a diehard Laker fan. And to spend 20 years here, I mean you can't, you can't write something better than this. Appreciating all this, you know the journey we've been on. We've been through our ups and we've been though our downs. I think the most important part is that we all stayed together throughout. You guys will always be in my heart. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart . God, I love you guys. What can I say? Mamba out.我从小就是个死心塌地的湖人队的球迷。在这里呆20年，我的意思是你不能，你不能做出比这更好的事。感谢这一切，你知道我们做经历过的。我们经历过巅峰，也经历过低谷。我想最重要的是我们一直在一起。你们将永远在我心中。谢谢，这是我发自内心的感谢。天啊，我爱你们。我能说什么？曼巴走了。
