Kyle Korver tries to inspire graduates with story about being traded for a
copy machine
Kyle Korver借由一桩交易去换一台影印机的故事来启发毕业生
You may have heard this story before, but if not, here's a reminder: Kyle
Korver was once part of a trade involving a copy machine.
或许大家以前听过这个故事,若没有,简单说是这样: Kyle Korver曾经在一桩交易里,里
面包括了一台影印机。
The sharpshooting, 16-year NBA veteran gave a commencement speech Saturday at
his alma mater, Creighton University, and he used the story as some
motivation for the graduating class.
这位NBA打滚了16年的神射手老将在星期天的时候,在他的母校Creighton University的毕
业典礼演讲,他讲了一个故事去激励这一届的毕业生。
"The 51st pick, to the New Jersey Nets," Korver began, recounting the day he
was drafted in 2003. "I found out shortly afterwards that I had been traded
to Philly. I'm not sure if traded is the right word.
“第51顺位,纽泽西篮网,”Korver在一次讲到2003年选秀时的状况。“我很快就知道我
被交易到76人,只是我不确定"交易"这两个字是不是正确的用词。”
"I was more or less sold for an undisclosed amount of money. I later found
out (the Nets) used that money to pay for the entry fee for their summer
league team, and with the leftover money, they bought a copy machine."
“我是被以不知道价码的价格卖掉的,之后我才知道篮网用那笔钱来付他们的夏季联盟队
伍的入场费,然后剩下的钱他们拿去买了一台影印机。”
No, Korver wasn't joking.
Korver不是在开玩笑。
"But it's OK," he continued. "Because a couple of years ago, that copy
machine broke. And I'm still playing."
“但那很OK,’Korver继续说。“因为几年前,那台影印机坏掉了,但是我现在还在打
球。”
Korver was met with applause from the crowd, and with good reason. He has
played for five NBA teams in his career and has earned roughly $80 million
from contracts. He was selected an All-Star in 2015, has played in the NBA
Finals twice and will go down as one of the best shooters in league history
(he's fourth on the all-time three-pointers made list with 2,351).
Korver得到满场的掌声。他生涯为五支NBA队伍打过球,生涯薪水总计约8000万镁,2015年
被选进全明星,打过两次NBA总冠赛,也确定将来会成为联盟史上最佳射手之一(目前三分
球入球数是2351个,联盟史上排名第四)。
