【不经历风雨，怎能见彩虹】请不要灰心，伤病只是总冠军的基石
篇首语：不经历风雨，怎能见彩虹！湖人本赛季一直都坎坷不断，赛季前的科比转会风波，拜纳姆的受伤，加索尔的受伤。。。。有人说是“天妒英才”，而我坚持的认为是“天降大任于斯人也”的必经苦难。我们不妨宽容的对待，这只成长中的队伍，某一天必定问鼎总冠军。
Andrew Bynum - Jan 13, 2008 Left knee injury
Trevor Ariza - Jan 21, 2008 broken right foot
Pau Gasol - Mar 14, 2008 Sprained ankle
Derek Fisher - Mar 29, 2008 Right foot injury
拜纳姆——2008年月13日，左膝受伤
阿里扎——2008年1月21日，左脚受伤
加索尔——2008年3月14日，脚踝扭伤
费舍尔——2008年3月29日，右脚受伤
Thelist goes on, the woes will not. The season so far has been anythingbut ordinary and it has been more about endurance and persistence thananything else. With only weeks to go before the NBA playoffs getunderway the Lakers are struggling to maintain their position in thewestern conference standings. With back-to-back losses to sub .500teams, the Lakers seem on the verge of collapse. Another wasted 50point performance by Kobe Bryant, another wasted chance. The injurylist keeps growing, infighting in the team.
伤病名单上的名字不断的增加，苦恼并不会减少。这个赛季和以往一样并没有什么不同，只是多了几分忍耐力和持久性而已。目前离季后赛开始只有几个星期。湖人也在为西部的排名做最后的努力。湖人在主场背靠背的两场比赛中，不可思议的输给了胜率低于50%的球队。湖人正面临崩溃的边缘。科比在对阵灰熊的比赛中打出了新赛季的最高得分53分，但一切还是无济于事，还是再一次浪费了机会。伤病名单仍在不断增加，湖人也因此倍感压力。
That’s what the reporters are saying.
这就是那些评论员津津乐道的话题。
Whatmany people are forgetting is that this Laker team is much strongerthan what is seen from the outside. Without a doubt this team isresilient. The season started, well, in absolutechaos. Everyday eager fans received conflicting reports about Lakersstar Kobe Bryant. Was he going to stay or was he going to leave? Massesof reporters swarmed players on their way to the El Segundo practicefacility. National reporters said the season was already over, Kobewould leave and the Lakers would become a lottery team with playerslike Kwame Brown and Brian Cook. What happened next was both beautifuland incredible. Kobeset the precedent and his team followed and surged to higher branchesof the western conference standings. Despite the chaos that started theseason the Lakers were able to play through the uncertainty and risefrom the ashes to become one of the best teams in the overlycompetitive West.
但是大部分的人都忘记了，湖人远比外界想象中的强大。你不能忽视这个球队能在短时间内反弹的能力。这个赛季开始的时候，湖人的上空被一团流言的阴霾所覆盖。湖人球迷每天都关注湖人巨星科比的消息。他会留下来还是离开？一大堆的媒体都在球员们通向训练场的路上堵截，以求第一时间得到最新消息。大部分评论家预言，湖人这个赛季即将报废，湖人将变成只有夸梅和库克组成的“新手”球队。接下来发生的，是我们都从无法预计的美妙和不可思议。科比和他的伙伴们表现的都非常出色，他们打出了新的水平。湖人也成为了高手林立的西部炙手可热的球队。即使在赛季开始时流言不断，湖人也经历了一段不稳定的过渡，但是，如今的湖人已经成长为西部顶级球队之一。赛季前的一切仿佛从来不曾存在。
Thenthe Bynum and Ariza injuries occurred. Reporters once again said theseason would be lost if Bynum took more than 8 weeks to return.“Without Bynum this team is like the team last year and the year beforethat, I highly doubt the Lakers will be able to play better than .500ball”. In the wake of devastation the Lakers managed to play greatbasketball and through the brilliance of Mitch Kupchak the Lakerslanded Pau Gasol. Not only did the Lakers hold the fort in Bynum’sabsence they surged to the top of the Western Conference standings.
接下来，拜纳姆和阿里扎受伤。评论家又开始预言，如果拜纳姆在8周内不回归，湖人这个赛季将就此终结。“没有拜纳姆的湖人就像去年的湖人一样，没有竞争力。我深深怀疑，湖人本赛季的胜率将不会高于50%。”当一切都不如人意的时候，湖人还是竭尽全力奉献完美的比赛。这个时候Mitch Kupchak的聪明之举换来了保罗加索尔。加索尔的加盟，不仅仅填补了拜纳姆缺阵的空白，而且把湖人送到了新的高度——西部联盟第一的宝座。
Again,injury struck early March when Gasol sprained his ankle early in a gameagainst the New Orleans Hornets. Early estimates had Gasol out for twoweeks, despite the loss the Lakers were able to pull of heroic winsagainst the Mavericks and the Jazz.
但是，伤病又一次席卷了湖人。保罗加索尔在与新奥尔良黄蜂的比赛中意外受伤，那个时候比赛才刚进行4分钟。最早的报道声称保罗加索尔将缺席两周。没有加索尔的湖人还是在客场拿下了小牛和爵士。这可以算是英雄式的胜利。
Hereinlies my point. The Lakers are no stranger to adversity. This wholeseason has been about facing adversity and conquering the challenges ofbattle. Though the Lakers are in a rough stretch at the moment, withmore players getting injured than those coming back from injury, theywill find a way to get through this as they have been doing all season.The Lakers have traversed a road not taken by many teams but in the endit will make all the difference. Maybe the Lakers might not win thechampionship this year but through all the struggles they have had toendure they will come out this season a much more resilient andexperienced ball club. It’s all about weathering the storm and once thestorm has passed the Lakers will emerge a better team; a team which Ithink will be a formidable foe in the playoffs. The regular season hasprepared the team for challenges which undoubtedly will be presentduring the playoffs and after all they have endured the Lakers willhave a much better chance to come out victorious.
下面我将陈述我的观点。湖人对突如其来的灾难应该已经习以为常。湖人本个赛季都充满了变数，但是湖人都能逢凶化吉。此刻的湖人正处在艰难的时刻，绝大多数的主力球员受伤，部分伤员的归期却还是未知数。但是我相信湖人一定会找到克服这一切的方法，像以前一样。湖人正在经历其他球队无法经历的事情，但是一切都会值得。也许湖人今年并不能问鼎总冠军，但是通过今年的磨难，湖人会学会忍耐和持久，也会变得更加老练和成熟。伤病的暴风雨袭来，但我想一切都是有价值的，暴风雨过后，湖人将会出落成一支更加伟大的球队，一支能在季后赛大放光彩的球队。湖人在常规赛学到的战胜困难的心态，是进军季后赛的最好的准备功课。他们曾经经历的，正在经历的，我想这一切都会成为总冠军的基石。
Asthe chilli peppers say, “the sun may rise in the east at least itsettles in a fine location”. The Lakers will get their chance to shineone of these days and when the opportunity comes the Lakers will beready; ready to defy all expectations placed upon them and do theunexpected.
就像chillis peppers说的那样，“太阳总会从最合适的位置上升起，”湖人在某一天必定大放异彩。机会总会眷顾有准备的湖人——此时的湖人一定准备好了迎接所有的机遇及挑战。
