邁克喬丹經典語錄

　　My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

　　我的人生態度是：你若一直攻擊我的弱點，那我會將此被覺察到的短處轉變成優點。

　　My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn’t stand the sideline.

　　我的身體可以忍受靠著拐杖行走，但我的內心無法忍受不能上場比賽。

　　Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

　　There is only one person who can define success in your life -- and that's you.

　　只有一個人能界定你一生的成就 – 那就是你自己。

　　To be successful you have to be selfish (自私), or else (否則) you never achieve (成就). And once (一旦) you get to your highest level (水;等級), then you have to be unselfish (大公無私). Stay (保持) reachable (易人). Stay in touch. Don't isolate (孤立).

　　When I step onto the court，I'm ready to play. If you're going up against (對抗) me, you'd better be ready. If you're not going to compete，l will dominate (主宰) you.

　　I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win.

　　不論是在練或是真正比賽，我打球就是要獲勝。我不會讓任何事情阻礙我，我有著狂熱的競賽求贏心理。

　　I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don't do things half-heartedly (半心半意). Because I know if I do, then I can expect (預期) half-hearted results.

　　I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

　　我一生中有多次的挫敗，但這卻是我成功的原因。

　　I've missed (錯過) more than 9000 shots (投籃) in my career (職業生涯中). I've lost (輸掉) almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted (信賴) to take the game winning shot and missed.

　　I've reached the pinnacle of my career. I just feel that I don't have anything else to prove.

　　我已到達生涯的頂點。我只是覺得沒有什么其他的可證明了。

　　If someone gets the best of me, I try not to let that happen again.

　　如果有人超越我，我試著不讓它再發生。

　　If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

　　如果你接受別人的期待，尤其是負面的預期，那你絕不會想去改變結果。

　　If you're trying to achieve (有所成就), there will be roadblocks (路障). I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles (障礙物) don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around (掉頭) and give up. Figure out (弄清楚) how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

　　Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

　　Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best.

　　人生常被比喻為馬拉松，但是我認為人生比較像短跑員，長期努力工作一段時間后，在短暫的瞬間內有機會表現出自己的極致。

　　I can accept failure. but I can't accept not trying.

　　我可以接受失敗，但我無法接受從不去嘗試。

　　I'm back. 我回來了。
