弱点

橄榄球比赛开局前
There’s a moment of orderly silence
都会有一阵子特别安静有序
before a football play begins.
球员各就各位 边裁肃立
Players are in position, linemen are frozen,
但下一刻 什么都可能发生
And anything’s possible.
首都华盛顿 现场直播
接着 球员开始随意冲撞 形同一场车祸
Then, like a traffic accident, staff begins to randomly collide.
从发球的瞬间到第一次骨折
From the snap of the ball to the snap of the first bone
最多只需要四秒
Is closer to four seconds than five.
第一秒
One mississippi.
乔·西斯曼 华盛顿红人队的四分卫
Joe Theismann, the redskins quarterback
发球后把球交给跑锋
Takes the snap and hands off to his running back.
第二秒
Two mississippi.
一个假动作 跳蚤进攻战术
It’s a trick play, a flea flicker,
跑锋又把球回传给四分卫
And the running back tosses the ball back to the quarterback.
第三秒
Three mississippi.
到此为止 比赛还由
Up to now the play’s been defined
四分卫掌控
by the what the quarterback sees.
接下来的情况 就不受他的控制了
It’s about to be defined by what he doesn’t.
第四秒
Four mississippi.
劳伦斯·泰勒 自踏入橄榄球坛以来
Lawrence Taylor is the best defensive player in the NFL
一直是NFL[全美橄榄球联盟] 最好的防守球员
And has been from the time he stepped onto the field as a rookie.
如各位所知 他也将改变橄榄球
He will also change the game of football as we know it.
让我们从相反角度再看一次
…and we’ll look at it with the reverse angle one more time.
我建议如果您的胆子小 还是别看了
And I suggest if your stomach is weak you just don’t watch …
传奇四分卫 乔·西斯曼
Legendary quarterback Joe Thiesmann
从此再没上场
never played another down of football.
大家都能猜到NFL最高薪的球员
Now, y’all would guess that more often than not
大多数都是队里的四分卫
The highest paid player on an NFL team is the quarterback.
恭喜你 猜对了
And you’d be right.
但是大家可能没想到 队里第二高薪
What you probably don’t know is that more often than not
通常是左内边锋
The second highest paid player is, thanks to Lawrence Taylor,
这都拜劳伦斯·泰勒所赐
A left tackle.
因为 正如每位家庭主妇都知道
Because, as every housewife knows,
首先要付的就是按揭
The first check you write is for the mortgage
其次就是保险
But the second is for the insurence.
而左内边锋职责就是保护四分卫
And the left tackle’s job is to protect the quarterback
免受看不到的攻击 保护他的盲侧
From what he can’t see coming. To protect his blind side.
理想的左内边锋要求身材高大 这种人好找
The ideal left tackle is big, but a lot of people are big.
但同时要有宽大的臀部和粗壮的大腿
He is wide in the butt and massive in the thighs.
手臂要够长 手要够大 步伐要够快
He has long arms, giant hands and feet as quick as a hiccup.
要满足这些条件的人可不好找
This is a rare and expensive combination
这个标准可以追溯到周一晚的比赛
The need for which can be traced to that monday night game
和劳伦斯·泰勒
And Lawrence Taylor.
因为 那天他不仅改变了乔·西斯曼的一生
For on that day he not only altered Joe Theismann’s life,
也改变了我
But mine as well.

两年前
陌生的面孔
# strange face, with your eyes #
嵌着暗淡而真诚的双眼
# so pale and sincere #
内心深处
# underneath, you know well #
你深知自己无所畏惧
# you have nothing to fear #
因为年幼时候
# for the dreams that came to you #
你胸怀的那些梦想
# when you were young #
你知道

生命中的春天悄悄临近

当所有情感
# you would seem so frail #
突然来袭
# in the cold of the night #
在夜晚的寒冷中
# when the armies of emotion #
你看起来如此脆弱
# go out to fight #
但当整个地球
# but while the earth #
都将沦陷
# sinks to its grave #
你却在巨浪顶端
# you sail to the sky #
划向天际
# on the crest of a wave #

迈克尔·奥赫 基于他的记录
Michael Oher gives us no reason to believe it,
我们没法相信他能在这里读书
Based on his record, that he would be successful here.
