Chris Bosh Has Some Awkward Olympic Comparisons for LeBron and Wade
Chris Bosh将LeBron和Wade和冬季奥运做了怪异的联想
Any defender who has had the misfortune of standing in the lane when LeBron
James is driving to the hoop would never, ever compare him to a figure skater(
注一). At 6'8" and 250 pounds of muscle, James surely looks more like a
linebacker(注二) racing to stuff a goal-line(注三) rush, but Miami Heat
teammate Chris Bosh sees him in a different light.
任何一个不幸被LeBron在头上灌篮的防守者永远不会把他联想成一个花式溜冰选手。身高
六呎八吋、250磅,LeBron当然看起来更像一位全力阻挡对手达阵的线卫。但是热火队友
Bosh用不同的眼光看他。
Ira Winderman of the South Florida SunSentinel caught up with Bosh and spoke
to him about the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Delightfully, the quirky center had some eye-opening comparisons for his Big Three teammates.
记者Ira Winderman找到Bosh并和他聊了一下在俄罗斯索契举办的2014冬季奥运。这个古
怪的中锋对三巨头的另外两人有令人大开眼界的联想:
Bosh said he could envision LeBron as a figure skater because of his
creativity and Wade, "he's short, so he could do that speed skating."
Bosh说他可以联想LeBron成为一位花式溜冰选手,因为他的创造力。而Wade可以参加竞速
滑冰,因为他矮。
Truth be told, he could probably succeed at any athletic endeavor he put his
mind to, and seeing James in pairs figure skating twirling around a 100-pound
female with ease would be very entertaining.
老实说,James只要努力去做,可以在任何运动都成功。看James穿着溜冰鞋然后在100磅
的女搭档旁边轻松地扭动旋转,将会是一件妙事。

On Dwyane Wade, Bosh stated: "He's short, so he could do that speed skating."
It's not clear why being short would help in that sport. American speed
skater Shani Davis has two gold and two silver medals from the last two
Olympics Games, and he is 6'2".
至于Wade,Bosh表示因为他矮,所以他可以竞速滑冰。不知道为什么矮有利于参加这个运
动。美国竞速滑冰选手Shani Davis在前两次奥运夺得两面金牌和两面银牌,他六呎二吋
。

Then again, the 6'11" Bosh considers 6'2" to be short, so I guess he's right
on the money. Wade is 6'4". I can easily imagine Wade on skates and
encased in a U.S. unitard(注四) to reduce wind resistance. That makes sense.
六呎十一吋的Bosh觉得六呎二吋很矮,所以我猜他也没错。Wade六呎四吋,我可以想像
Wade穿上溜冰鞋和穿着美国队的紧身衣以减少风阻。
Asked by Winderman what his favorite event was, Bosh answered: "When they
jump off the slope and go long and then they land." I think he means ski
jumping(注五), but that's pretty much what happens in a bunch of events.
被问到最喜欢的项目时,Bosh回答"当他们飞越斜坡,滑行一段距离然后落地。"我想他指
的是跳台滑雪。但很多项目都会有这个动作出现(例如雪橇、高山滑雪、滑雪板等等)。
Now we just sit back and await Bosh's projected Olympic events for the likes
of Chris Andersen (ski jumping?), Shane Battier (skeleton(注六)?), Greg Oden
(curling(注七)?), Michael Beasley ("Super Cool Beas(注八)" on the
snowboarding halfpipe?) and Erik Spoelstra (ice dancing?).
我们再静静等著,期待Bosh会不会有其他奥运项目的影射。像是Chris Andersen(跳台滑
雪)、Shane Battier(俯卧式雪车)、Greg Oden(冰壶)、Michael Beasley("Super Cool
Beas"参加单板滑雪板)和Erik Spoelstra(冰上舞蹈)?
注一:Figure skater 花式溜冰
注二:Linebacker 线卫(美式足球里的一个位置)
于防守线及后卫之间列阵,可以选择冲向对方四分卫、擒抱跑卫或协助看守接球员。可以
参考之前文章。
注三:Goal-line 得分线
美式足球里得分的区域位于底线与得分线之间,叫做底线区(end zone),也称达阵区。这
里Goal-line rush是冲向得分线指的就是达阵。
注四:Unitard 紧身衣
注五:Ski jumping 跳台滑雪
是一项于跳台上的冬季运动项目。它要求运动员借助速度和弹跳力沿跳台下滑,使身体跃
入空中,运动员会于空中飞行一段时间后,落在地上。裁判会按照距离和姿势作出评分。

注六:Skeleton 钢架雪车、俯卧式雪车
钢架雪车规定只能以俯卧式进行,选手的肚子贴在雪车上的姿势才被允许。中途允许掉落
雪车,但在通过终点时,选手必须在雪车上才算完成比赛。

注七:Curling 冰壶、冰球、冰上溜石
冰壶是一项队制的冬季奥林匹克运动会项目,冰壶所有的“壶”称为“石壶”,运动员需
要把对方的“石壶”击走,并把己队的“石壶”留在比赛场地的圆心中。

注八:Super Cool Beas 指的是Michael Beasley在自己背上的刺青:
