巫师的智慧：伍登名言录.doc

伟大的篮球教练约翰伍登的一生是传奇的一生，是伟大的一生，所有的篮球工作者、篮球爱好者都要向伍登同志学习，做一个高尚的人、纯粹的人、脱离了低级趣味的人。在此我们选取了部分伍登同志说过的话，以飨读者。（写了部分调侃或者发挥版的翻译放在括号里，欢迎各种切磋、商榷、拍砖。）Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.“天助自助者。”Never mistake activity for achievement.“蜜蜂与蝴蝶虽然都在花间飞舞，但一个在创造，一个在虚度。”（直译版是“永远别把活跃和成就混为一谈。”，但其实我更想翻成“别看现在叫得欢，小心将来拉清单”）Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.“逆境让我们不再为受人崇拜所累，让我们更容易认识自己。”（“在逆境中寻找希望，人生终将辉煌。”）Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.“请重视你的品格更胜于你的名声，因为品格是真实的你，而名声仅是他人如何看你。” 伍登的智慧经得起时间的考验。 Be prepared and be honest.“机遇只偏爱有准备的头脑和诚实的心灵。”You cant let praise or criticism get to you. Its a weakness to get caught up in either one.“勿以褒喜，勿以贬悲。二者任一都将成为你的弱点。”You cant live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.“能帮助一个无法回报你的人，才算是度过了完美的一天。”What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as a basketball player.“你是一个怎样的人，要比你是一个怎样的篮球手重要得多。”（“篮球之道，在明明德，在亲民，在止于至善。”）Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.“一次成功倚仗天分，一生成功倚仗德行。”（“夺冠依靠球星，卫冕全靠人品！”）A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.“教练就是能纠正错误却不会让你记恨的人。”Id rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.“我宁可要99%的天分加上1%的经验，也不要99%的经验加上1%的天分。”If you dont have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?“你若没有时间把事情做对，会有时间从头再来一次么？”If youre not making mistakes, then youre not doing anything. Im positive that a doer makes mistakes.“不犯错的人什么都没在做。在做事的人总是会犯错的。”（“听蝲蝲蛄叫还不种庄稼了？！”喂！）It isnt what you do, but how you do it.“做什么并不重要，重要的是做的方法。”Ability is a poor mans wealth.“才干是穷人的财富。”Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.“失败并不可怕，但墨守成规可能是致命的。”Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.“关注自己的感受之前，想想别人的权利；关注自己的权利之前，想想别人的感受。”Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.“不必为做不到的事多加烦恼。”（“挟泰山以超北海，非不为也，实不能也。为长者折枝，非不能也，实不为也。”）Dont measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.“莫以成就论英雄，尽你所能便成功。”（或者“人应该达到才干所决定的高度，除此之外一切成就都不足自傲。”）Its not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.“靡不有初，鲜克有终。”（直译当然是“一场比赛由谁开球远没有由谁盖棺来得重要。”）Its what you learn after you know it all that counts.“在你已经懂得一切之后又学到的东西才是最有价值的。”（“学无止境艺无涯。”）Its the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.“细节决定成败，细节决定全局。”（“不积跬步，无以至千里；不积小流，无以成江海。一屋不扫，何以扫天下？”）Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.“上帝赐你天赋，保持谦逊；众人给你名声，心怀感激；自己易生骄傲，惟此谨慎。”The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.“时势造英雄，角色球员造球星。”（“你以为你是个明星？还不是全靠周围这些死跑龙套的！”）Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.“全力以赴做到最好，成功指日可待。”（“把握生命里的每一分钟，全力以赴我们心中的梦。不经历风雨，怎么见彩虹，没有人能随随便便成功。”）Success is never final, failure is never fatal.
