Good afternoon everyone.

大家下午好。

I am Marion Jones-Thompson, and I am here today because I have something very important to tell you, my fans, my friends, and my family.

我是马里昂·琼斯-汤普森，我今天来这里是因为我有一些非常重要的事情要告诉你们、我的粉丝、我的朋友和我的家人。

Over the many years of my life, as an athlete in the sport of track and field, you have been fiercely loyal and supportive towards me.

在我生命的许多年里，作为一名田径运动员，你们一直对我非常忠诚和支持。

Even more loyal and supportive than words can declare has been my family, and especially my dear mother, who stands by my side today.

我的家人，尤其是我亲爱的母亲，比言语更加忠诚和支持我，她今天站在我身边。

And so it is with a great amount of shame that I stand before you and tell you that I have betrayed your trust.

因此，我非常羞愧地站在你们面前告诉你们，我辜负了你们的信任。

I want all you to know that today I plead guilty to two counts of making false statements to federal agents.

我想让大家知道，今天我承认两项向联邦特工做出虚假陈述的罪名。

Making these false statements to federal agents was an incredibly stupid thing for me to do, and I am responsible fully for my actions.

向联邦特工做出这些虚假陈述对我来说是一件极其愚蠢的事情，我对我的行为负全部责任。

I have no one to blame but myself for what I have done.

对于我所做的事情，除了我自己之外，我没有人可以责怪。

To you, my fans, including my young supporters, the United States Track and Field Association, my closest friends, my attorneys, and the most classy family a person could ever hope for -- namely my mother, my husband, my children, my brother and his family, my uncle, and the rest of my extended family: I want you to know that I have been dishonest.

对你们，我的球迷，包括我年轻的支持者、美国田径协会、我最亲密的朋友、我的律师，以及一个人所希望的最优雅的家庭——即我的母亲、我的丈夫、我的孩子、我的兄弟和他的家人、我的叔叔以及我的大家庭的其他成员：我想让你们知道我一直不诚实。

And you have the right to be angry with me.

你有权对我生气。

I recognize that by saying that I'm deeply sorry, it might not be enough and sufficient to address the pain and the hurt that I have caused you.

我认识到，通过说我深感抱歉，可能不足以解决我给您带来的痛苦和伤害。

Therefore, I want to ask for your forgiveness for my actions, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

因此，我想请求您对我的行为的原谅，希望您能发自内心地原谅我。

I have asked Almighty God for my forgiveness.

我已请求全能上帝的宽恕。

Having said this, and because of my actions, I am retiring from the sport of track and field, a sport which I deeply love.

话虽如此，由于我的行为，我将从田径运动退役，这是一项我深爱的运动。

I promise that these events will be used to make the lives of many people improve; that by making the wrong choices and bad decisions can be disastrous.

我保证这些活动将用来改善许多人的生活；做出错误的选择和错误的决定可能会带来灾难性的后果。
