Stephen Curry, NBA players struggle to spell Mavs’ Dirk Nowitzki’s surname
Stephen Curry以及一些NBA球员拼不出独行侠Dirk Nowitzki的姓
In the pantheon of difficult to spell foreign last names, Dirk Nowitzki’s is
surely at the bottom. Not only is the Dallas Mavericks legend’s surname just
eight letters and bereft of Cyrillic, but it’s also generally pronounced as
it’s spelled. Nonetheless, spelling his surname proved difficult for a bevy
of NBA players and Gregg Popovich who was asked to do the seemingly
pedestrian task only to struggle quite a bit (including his own Mavs
teammates as well as close friend Pau Gasol) with some even failing entirely
like with Stephen Curry.
在比较难拼的外国人姓氏清单里，Dirk Nowitzki要算是简单的了。不仅这独行侠传奇人物
的姓只有八个字母，它也不是西里尔字母(用于某些斯拉夫语言)，而且它念起来就跟它拼
起来的样子差不多。然而，当一些NBA球员以及马刺波总像是路边临时被抓到，问他们能不
能拼出他的姓氏时，似乎是一个困难的任务，甚至他的队友及好友Pau Gasol都挣扎了一下
才拼的出，有些人像是Stephen Curry是根本不行。

This will probably be the last we’ll see the Nowitzki name in a while as he
officially announced his retirement after Tuesday night’s grand send-off at
home. The 7-foot German has languished most of the season due to offseason
surgery and looked to be a shell of his former self, missing wide-open
jumpers and playing sparingly before experiencing a short renaissance after a
strong All-Star Weekend performance.
在星期二晚上主场正式宣布退休暨欢送仪式后，大概要有一段时间才会有可能再次看到
Nowitzki这个姓。7呎的德国球星，本季因为在休赛季的手术让他打的颠簸，打得不像以前
一样，有空档的时候投不进，上场的时间都很短，在明星赛亮眼的表现后有短暂回春一阵
子。
The entire NBA was already preparing for the inevitability of Nowitzki
calling it a career based on how they have seen him play and whether they
guessed correctly or just forced the European into the decision is up for
debate considering that Nowitzki’s decision to hang it up was only decided
just a few days ago.
整个NBA界似乎准备好Nowitzki要宣布退休，不管是基于他打球的状态，或者大家只是猜
想，抑或大家像是强迫"欧洲司机"退休，这都还值得讨论，但是Nowitzki要高挂球鞋这决
定是几天前才做的。
Where Nowitzki goes from here is a mystery – but if it’s on TV, Curry and
his peers are fortunate that there are title cards.
Nowitzki之后的发展目前还未可知
