Prologue: Prologue Ira Glass There's a scene in the film I Am Legend where, OK, civilization is over.
序言：序言 Ira Glass 电影《我是传奇》中有一个场景，好吧，文明已经结束了。
The only person left alive in New York is Will Smith, and he is not able to find traces of anyone else alive anywhere on Earth.
纽约唯一活着的人是威尔·史密斯，他无法在地球上的任何地方找到其他活着的人的踪迹。
And every morning, he wakes up and makes himself breakfast, and puts on videos of The Today Show from back before the Earth was destroyed just to make the morning seem normal.
每天早上，他起床后都会给自己做早餐，并播放地球毁灭前的《今日秀》视频，只是为了让早晨看起来很正常。
One of the sports fans on our staff, Matt, was saying the other day that that is exactly what it's like today, watching the constant replays of old sports on television.
我们员工中的一位体育迷马特有一天说，这正是今天的情况，在电视上不断地观看旧体育比赛的重播。
He's watched the 2018 Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals Game 7 from 2013, an old Yankees game from 1978, the Masters last year that Tiger Woods won, all that glory from back when life was normal and sports was part of it.
他观看了 2018 年的斯坦利杯、2013 年的 NBA 总决赛第七场、1978 年洋基队的一场老比赛、泰格·伍兹赢得的去年大师赛，所有这些荣耀都来自于生活正常、体育是其中一部分的时候。
Part of the thrill of the Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance was it wasn't just sports, but a primetime Sunday night sports event that you could look forward to and you could watch, knowing other fans were watching and talk about, and share memes just like the world used to be.
迈克尔·乔丹纪录片《最后之舞》令人兴奋的部分原因在于，它不仅仅是体育赛事，而且是周日晚上黄金时段的体育赛事，您可以期待并观看，知道其他粉丝正在观看和谈论，并分享模因，就像世界过去一样。
These two guys who write about college football, Jason Kirk and Spencer Hall, wrote this thing that I love about the lack of sports in our world today.
贾森·柯克（Jason Kirk）和斯宾塞·霍尔（Spencer Hall）这两个写大学橄榄球的人写了这篇关于当今世界缺乏体育运动的文章，我很喜欢。
These are guys who normally spend over 50 hours a week on a slow week watching games and thinking about sports, who these days, like hungry men raiding an empty kitchen pantry for any scrap of food, have resorted to watching old college games that they've seen before and live Korean baseball in the middle of the night, and the German soccer league, Bundesliga.
这些人通常每周花 50 多个小时，缓慢地观看比赛和思考体育运动，如今，他们就像饥饿的人在空荡荡的厨房储藏室里寻找任何食物残渣一样，转而观看他们以前看过的大学比赛，并在半夜直播韩国棒球和德国足球联赛德甲联赛。
Saturday morning, the choice was between Bundesliga and cornhole, the American tailgate game where people throw sandbags at a wooden plank.
周六早上，我们要在德甲联赛和沙包比赛之间做出选择，沙包比赛是一种美式尾门比赛，人们将沙袋扔到木板上。
That's Jason.
那是杰森。
Here's Spencer, explaining what he's come to.
斯宾塞正在解释他的来意。
I, yesterday, put on for the edification of my kids and their larger education, Ricky Steamboat versus Macho Man Randy Savage at WrestleMania 3.
昨天，为了启迪我的孩子们并让他们接受更大的教育，我在摔角狂热 3 上表演了 Ricky Steamboat 与 Macho Man Randy Savage 的比赛。
And it's largely considered the greatest wrestling match of all time.
这在很大程度上被认为是有史以来最伟大的摔跤比赛。
And I realized that since I'm homeschooling my kids, they had to see the important classics of my culture.
我意识到，由于我在家教育我的孩子，他们必须看到我的文化的重要经典。
The canon.
佳能。
Spencer Hall The canon, yeah.
斯宾塞霍尔经典，是的。
No, I mean, it really-- we're joking, but we're not.
不，我的意思是，真的——我们在开玩笑，但我们不是。
Like canonically, there's a lot of controversy about what is in the canon, wrestling-wise.
就像经典一样，关于摔跤方面的经典内容也存在很多争议。
No one disputes this.
没有人对此提出异议。
Spencer's watching way fewer games under lockdown, and sometimes he says he thought this actually might be better for him, in some way, to devote fewer hours to sports, maybe.
斯宾塞在封锁期间观看的比赛少了很多，有时他说他认为从某种程度上来说，减少花在体育上的时间实际上可能对他更好。
Maybe.
或许。
But it also makes me realize that the things I fill them with aren't much better.
但这也让我意识到我填充的东西并没有好多少。
There's a lot of empty--
还有很多空的——
[LAUGHTER] There's a lot of empty space out there, man.
[笑声] 那里有很多空的空间，伙计。
There's a lot of empty space in life.
生活中有很多空白。
And when somebody says, well, now you can fill it with something really meaningful, will you?
当有人说，好吧，现在你可以用一些真正有意义的东西来填充它，好吗？
Or is that even an option?
或者这甚至是一种选择？
I think there's only so much meaning you can pack into the hours of a week.
我认为一周的时间里所能包含的意义是有限的。
I think there's only so much productivity within one person.
我认为一个人的生产力是有限的。
I think that's something, by the way, this has forced me to confront.
顺便说一句，我认为这是迫使我面对的事情。
Anyway, the essay these guys wrote about sports during these sportsless months is called "What Were Sports?" And the tone of it is like people who live in tents surrounded by rubble after a war, remembering what it was like to live in houses, looking back on their old lives, which only now they appreciate for what they were.
不管怎样，这些家伙在没有运动的几个月里写的关于体育的文章叫做《体育是什么？》它的语气就像是战后住在被瓦砾包围的帐篷里的人们，回忆起住在房子里的感觉，回顾他们以前的生活，直到现在他们才意识到自己的过去。
The essay starts this way.
文章是这样开始的。
I remember there were expensive commercials.
我记得有一些昂贵的广告。
I definitely remember expensive commercials being a part of live sports.
我绝对记得昂贵的广告是体育赛事直播的一部分。
I only noticed this when sports on replay happened.
我只是在比赛重播时才注意到这一点。
The ads for replay games are cheap and very sad-- home generators, car warranties, bootleg tactical gear for things that shouldn't be tactical, like car visors and hearing aids.
重播游戏的广告既廉价又令人悲伤——家用发电机、汽车保修、盗版战术装备，这些装备不应该是战术性的，比如汽车遮阳板和助听器。
Do you remember how, back when there were sports, each person had a list of teams they strongly preferred to win?
您是否还记得，当有体育运动时，每个人都有一份他们强烈希望获胜的球队名单？
Like if the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies squared off, you and I would be a little bit happier about life if the Grizzlies were the team that won.
就像波特兰开拓者队和孟菲斯灰熊队对决一样，如果灰熊队获胜，你和我的生活会更幸福一些。
What was that all about?
那是怎么回事？
Other things they miss-- Phillies fans doing things that were not normal for anybody but Phillies fans; spreadsheets of sports statistics for each game, whose results then went into a spreadsheet for the whole season, which then went into a historical archives spreadsheet.
他们怀念的其他事情——费城人队球迷所做的事情对除了费城人队球迷之外的任何人来说都是不正常的；每场比赛的体育统计数据电子表格，其结果随后进入整个赛季的电子表格，然后进入历史档案电子表格。
"Watching a four-hour game and walking away with one GIF-worthy moment," they write, "felt like a version of sifting for gold, but a version in which the dirt itself was valuable."
他们写道：“观看一场长达四个小时的比赛并留下一个值得制作 GIF 的时刻，感觉就像是筛选黄金的版本，但泥土本身也很有价值。”
One cool thing I remember about sports is watching people run fast in one direction.
关于运动，我记得的一件很酷的事情就是看着人们朝一个方向快速奔跑。
It was fun to watch someone do this when unimpeded, such as when Usain Bolt walked into a mall in church shoes or whatever and ran as fast as the fastest NFL player ever had.
看到有人在不受阻碍的情况下做到这一点是很有趣的，比如尤塞恩·博尔特穿着教堂鞋或其他什么东西走进购物中心，然后跑得和有史以来最快的 NFL 球员一样快。
But it was 10 times as fun when someone was able to run really far while other people were trying to stop that person from running far.
但当一个人能够跑得很远，而其他人却试图阻止那个人跑很远时，乐趣就会增加十倍。
Also fun, watching big people try to stop fast people from running.
观看大个子试图阻止跑得快的人也很有趣。
They write, "Sports were little chemistry labs designed to run for hours, months, and centuries, along the way producing countless things nobody could have predicted from the onset-- a cool, otherworldly space place where people could completely depressurize for several hours and sometimes succumb to space madness along the way when things went haywire."
他们写道，“体育运动是小型化学实验室，旨在运行数小时、数月甚至数个世纪，一路上产生了无数从一开始就没有人能预测到的东西——一个凉爽、超凡脱俗的太空场所，人们可以在那里完全减压几个小时，有时当事情变得混乱时，人们会屈服于太空疯狂。”
Do you remember that part?
你还记得那部分吗？
That part was like Apollo 13.
那部分就像阿波罗13号一样。
Like when your team's starting safety went out with an injury and they had to figure out how to play with 10 defenders and one guy who should have been going to law school instead of covering the other team's best receiver.
就像当你的球队的先发安全卫因伤而出局时，他们必须弄清楚如何与 10 名后卫和一名本应去法学院的球员一起比赛，而不是防守另一队最好的接球手。
That part was a problem, but a fun one to solve.
这部分是一个问题，但解决起来很有趣。
These problems very much belong to someone else, despite us getting to invest feelings in whether they solved these problems or not.
这些问题很大程度上属于别人，尽管我们对他们是否解决了这些问题投入了感情。
Caring about whether a mediocre general manager could finally figure out how to do sports budgets, this was kind of like politics, but in a fake world in which we didn't have to acknowledge politics can kill us.
关心一个平庸的总经理是否最终能弄清楚如何做体育预算，这有点像政治，但在一个虚假的世界里，我们不必承认政治可以杀死我们。
That was nice.
那太好了。
There's a whole passage in the essay where Spencer reminisces about the last live game he went to, LSU and Clemson in New Orleans, and got oysters before the game, and met a friend at a restaurant the next day to eat and talk football for hours.
文章中有整整一段话，斯宾塞回忆起他去新奥尔良观看的最后一场现场比赛，路易斯安那州立大学和克莱姆森大学，并在比赛前吃了牡蛎，第二天在一家餐厅遇见了一位朋友，一起吃饭，聊了几个小时的足球。
He writes, "Do you hear all the beats of an impossible world playing there?
他写道：“你听到一个不可能的世界的所有节奏在那里演奏吗？
I do.
我愿意。
I feel every little ping of a world that I've only missed for 45 days at this point, like cactus needles just pressing into the skin of a hovering hand." Jason sums it all up neatly with this.
我感受到了这个我只错过了 45 天的世界的每一个微小的震动，就像仙人掌针刚刚压进悬停的手的皮肤一样。”杰森用这一点巧妙地总结了一切。
For me, the thing that mattered most about sports is how they, by design, did not matter.
对我来说，体育运动最重要的一点是，它们在设计上并不重要。
We built industrial complexes around them, but at heart they were about discovering which side had earned the right to shout the cooler obscenities on any given day.
我们围绕他们建造了工业综合体，但本质上他们是为了发现哪一方赢得了在任何一天喊出更酷的脏话的权利。
And then the following day, we would rediscover.
然后第二天，我们会重新发现。
Well, today on our program, for everybody who is yearning for sports right now in our sportsless world, we try to help with radio methadone for your sports addiction.
好吧，今天在我们的节目中，对于现在这个缺乏运动的世界中渴望运动的每个人，我们尝试通过无线电美沙酮来帮助您解决运动成瘾。
Is that metaphor too negative?
这个比喻是不是太消极了？
We have sports stories from back before the lockdown, back when professional sports were still a vital daily living force.
我们有封锁之前的体育故事，当时职业体育仍然是日常生活的重要力量。
We relive the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
我们重温胜利的喜悦和失败的痛苦。

You wouldn't stage a school play without a school, but football's different-- here, anyway.

There's not a lot to see, just huge piles of wreckage, and near the beach, mile after mile of empty spaces where houses and buildings used to be.

After the hurricane, Tyler's family left for a while, moved to Florida, to a town where they used to live.

超过一半的老虎队还没有回来，所以教练们在名单中加入了一些新成员——一些从未踢过足球的高年级学生，一些来自学校九年级队的新生，两名来自老虎队主要竞争对手圣斯坦尼斯劳斯的球员——他们取消了赛季——最后，以坏消息熊的风格结束了这一切，一些看起来很害怕的初中七年级和八年级学生。

我认为布兰特可能是我见过的最快乐的孩子之一。
He doesn't stop beaming, even when he's talking about swimming through his flooded kitchen or living for weeks without plumbing or power.

Oh, can I get you anything-- clothes, food?

And I'm like, I'm fine, ma'am.

Does this feel like a normal couple hours before a game, or does it feel different?

Way different.
方式不同。
Brandt One thing I'm going to miss before the games, the pregame meals.
布兰特 比赛前我会怀念一件事，那就是赛前餐。
And we don't have that here.

Because with the curfews and nothing open in town, there's really no place to go to see anybody.

熊猫队的明星球员特拉梅因·布洛克冲球达阵。
They miss the extra point, so it's 21-12.

[MUSIC - "BACKFIELD IN MOTION" BY MEL AND TIM]
[音乐 - 梅尔和蒂姆的《动感后场》]
Act Two, Dunk and Go Nuts.
第二幕，扣篮和疯狂。
So back in 1996, when Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls were at the height of their power on the way to winning the fourth of the six championships that they won back in the '90s, we did an episode of our show on the Bulls and just about loving basketball.
早在 1996 年，当迈克尔·乔丹 (Michael Jordan) 和芝加哥公牛队 (Chicago Bulls) 正处于鼎盛时期，并准备赢得他们在 90 年代赢得的六次总冠军中的第四次总冠军时，我们就制作了一集关于公牛队的节目，讲述了对篮球的热爱。
It included the story of a barber named Tommy, who was the one person rooting against the Bulls in a barber shop on the South Side full of Bulls fanatics, as they all watched the playoff game on television, the Bulls against Shaquille O'Neal and the Orlando Magic.
其中包括一位名叫汤米的理发师的故事，他是南区一家理发店里唯一一个支持公牛队的人，理发店里挤满了公牛队的狂热分子，他们都在电视上观看季后赛，公牛队对阵沙奎尔·奥尼尔和奥兰多魔术队。
And they're having a rough time at the moment.
他们现在过得很艰难。
Yeah.
是的。
Tommy But can't give up the shift yet.
汤米 但还不能放弃轮班。
That's right.
这是正确的。
Can't give up the shift.
不能放弃换班。
Even at halftime, the Bulls up by 10, Tommy did not let up.
即使半场结束，公牛领先10分，汤米也没有松懈。
Scissors in hand, a toothpick dangling from his lip, he declared--
他手里拿着剪刀，嘴唇上叼着一根牙签，宣称——
Orlando's coming back, win by five.
奥兰多队以五分优势卷土重来。
It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
直到胖女人唱歌才结束。
I think it was just funny to him to calmly say no to a room full of hyped-up fans.
我认为他平静地对满屋子兴奋的粉丝说“不”很有趣。
Later, when the game ended and the Bulls won by 15, Tommy insisted, no biggie.
后来，当比赛结束，公牛队以 15 分获胜时，汤米坚持认为这没什么大不了的。
The Bulls would lose the coming series against Seattle.
公牛队将输掉即将到来的对阵西雅图的系列赛。
And then-- OK, this is the scene I narrated back then in that show.
然后——好吧，这就是我当时在那个节目中叙述的场景。
Then we all looked up.
然后我们都抬起头来。
And through the plate glass window in front of the barber shop, we saw a car pull up.
透过理发店门前的平板玻璃窗，我们看到一辆汽车停了下来。
A guy climbs out with a brand new broom in his hand and strides towards the barber shop.
一个小伙子从车里爬出来，手里拿着一把崭新的扫帚，大步走向理发店。
The guy walks in and stands, broom in hand, near the door.
那家伙走进来，手里拿着扫帚，站在门边。
I told y'all I was going to come back up here now.
我告诉过你们我现在要回到这里。
Hey, Tommy.
嘿，汤米。
You didn't think that was going to sweep, huh?
你没想到这会横扫一切吧？
[LAUGHS]
[笑]
[LAUGHTER] Derek Tommy, I can't hear you, man.
[笑声] 德里克·汤米，我听不见你说话，伙计。
Did you see the bull run down the street?
你看到街上奔跑的公牛了吗？
Was Shaquille on it?
沙奎尔在场吗？
The guy's name is Derek, a regular at Coleman's.
这家伙的名字叫德里克，是科尔曼餐厅的常客。
Tell him I got to go home and celebrate, man.
告诉他我得回家庆祝一下，伙计。
Me and all my Bull friend buddies, we finna go celebrate.
我和我所有的公牛朋友们，我们要去庆祝一下。
You're going to jump on the bandwagon sooner or later, Tommy.
汤米，你迟早会跟上潮流。
We're going to make a believer out of you.
我们会让你成为信徒。
Tommy's unnerved.
汤米很不安。
Tommy I've already talked to Gary Payton.
汤米 我已经和加里·佩顿谈过了。
And boy, we're going to do it in 4-2-- Gary Payton, Seattle.
天哪，我们将在 4-2 中做到这一点——西雅图的加里·佩顿 (Gary Payton)。
[CHUCKLES]
[笑声]
That episode of the show wasn't just about being a basketball fan.
该节目的这一集不仅仅是关于成为一名篮球迷。
It was also about playing basketball and what it can mean to you-- and not incidentally, all the trophies that you collect along the way if you're serious about the game.
这也是关于打篮球以及它对你意味着什么——而且不是偶然的，如果你认真对待这项运动，你会一路收集到所有的奖杯。
Further you get, the bigger the trophy.
你获得的越远，奖杯就越大。
Of course, some trophies do not age very well.
当然，有些奖杯并不能很好地保存。
Get old enough and, at some point, they can just start to look like dusty, aging clutter.
当年龄足够大时，到了某个时候，它们就会开始看起来像布满灰尘、老化的杂物。
One of our producers, Nancy Updike, talked to a friend of hers who played a lot of basketball all about this.
我们的一位制片人南希·厄普代克 (Nancy Updike) 与她一位经常打篮球的朋友谈论了这件事。
When I met up with my friend Mary to talk about basketball, she was having some trouble with her trophies.
当我和我的朋友玛丽见面谈论篮球时，她在处理奖杯方面遇到了一些麻烦。
She just moved to a new apartment.
她刚刚搬到新公寓。
And her new place was small, so small that a bunch of high school trophies would just dominate any room they were in.
而且她的新地方很小，小到一堆高中奖杯就占据了他们所在的任何房间。
She had the trophies in a box in the living room.
她把奖杯放在客厅的一个盒子里。
And we sat on the floor, pulling out fake silver statuettes of girls in culottes reaching ever upward, hopeful and fit, like in Soviet propaganda posters.
我们坐在地板上，拿出穿着裙裤的女孩的假银小雕像，她们的身材一直向上，充满希望，健康，就像苏联的宣传海报中那样。
See, can't you see feeling really tough walking home with something this big, especially if you hold it like this?
你看，你难道看不出带着这么大的东西走回家的感觉真的很艰难吗，特别是如果你像这样拿着它的话？
Yeah.
是的。
Nancy Updike Then she found one that was not like the others, sort of hard to understand, actually.
南希·厄普代克然后她发现了一个与其他不同的，实际上有点难以理解。
Picture this, a thick slice of wood, sanded and shellacked, and mounted with a miniature rim and backboard, and then leaping across the front a stick figure made of roofing nails going in for a slam dunk.
想象一下，一块厚木片，经过打磨和虫漆处理，并安装有微型边缘和篮板，然后跳过前面一个由屋顶钉制成的简笔画，准备灌篮。
Mary identified this as her 1978 girls varsity team trophy from Cardinal Dougherty High School.
玛丽认出这是她 1978 年从 Cardinal Dougherty 高中获得的女子校队奖杯。
And the girls, she said, had not been pleased with the trophy at all.
她说，女孩们对奖杯一点也不满意。
It's ugly, isn't it?
这很丑，不是吗？
Nancy Updike Yeah, it is truly-- it's so damned--
南希·厄普代克 是的，这确实是——这太该死了——
We were all really unhappy.
我们都很不高兴。
We wanted a traditional--
我们想要一个传统的——
Will you give it to me?
你会把它给我吗？
Mary Conway Yes.
玛丽·康威 是的。
[LAUGHS]
[笑]
I want it.
我想要它。
I want it.
我要它。
Mary Conway We would rather have had the also ugly, but much more acceptable, old version of trophies then than those trophies.
玛丽·康威：我们宁愿拥有同样丑陋但更容易接受的旧版奖杯，而不是那些奖杯。
Oh, sure.
哦，当然。
Oh, sure.
哦，当然。
I mean, if you're a 13-year-old girl, you don't want to be walking home with that.
我的意思是，如果你是一个 13 岁的女孩，你不会想带着它回家的。
You want that.
你想要那个。
No. Right, right.
不，对，对。
Nancy Updike That's a trophy.
南希·厄普代克 那是一个奖杯。
You want something that goes up high in the sky, not something that is a slice of a tree.
你想要的是高高在上的东西，而不是树的一片。
[LAUGHTER] Nancy Updike You don't want a tree slice.
[笑声] 南希·厄普代克 你不需要树切片。
A slice of a tree with a nail stick figure soldered together, doing the one thing that you know you'll never be able to do-- dunk.
将一片树与钉子焊接在一起，做一件你知道你永远做不到的事情——扣篮。
Was that something that you all discussed?
这是你们都讨论过的事情吗？
Oh, yeah.
哦，是的。
And we also thought that that was the only reason we'd never be in the NBA.
我们还认为这是我们永远无法进入 NBA 的唯一原因。
Luckily for us, we all thought, well, we're really some of the best players on the face of the Earth.
对我们来说幸运的是，我们都认为，我们确实是地球上最好的球员之一。
When you're a 16-year-old girl who's playing at a tough Catholic league school, you think, yeah, we're good enough.
当你是一个 16 岁的女孩，在一所严格的天主教联盟学校打球时，你会想，是的，我们已经足够好了。
I'm just as good as Maurice Cheeks, and the Doctor would like to play with me, Dr. J.
我和莫里斯·奇克斯一样优秀，博士想和我一起玩，J博士。
And we could attribute our lack of success in the NBA to the fact that we were girls, soon to be women, who had never dunked.
我们可以将我们在 NBA 的失败归因于我们是女孩，很快就会成为女性，从未扣篮过。
And that's all that was keeping us from it.
这就是阻止我们的一切。
Mary handed me the wood slice trophy.
玛丽把木片奖杯递给我。
And when I reached to touch the stick figure, I realized that one of its feet was on a pivot.
当我伸手触摸简笔画时，我意识到它的一只脚在一个枢轴上。
So I could actually make it go in for the dunk.
所以我实际上可以让它扣篮。
Once I discovered this, it was impossible not to do it over, and over, and over.
一旦我发现了这一点，就不可能不一遍又一遍地这样做。
The trophy was completely hypnotizing, a disturbing artifact from an artistic period best forgotten.
这个奖杯完全令人着迷，是一个令人不安的艺术品，来自一个最好被遗忘的艺术时期。
The art of the late '70s, especially like in Catholic religion textbooks and churches and stuff, was so ugly.
七十年代末的艺术，尤其是天主教教科书和教堂之类的艺术，是如此丑陋。
Who knew there was even a genre, the late '70s Catholic textbook art world, that whole scene?
谁知道甚至有一种流派，即 70 年代末天主教教科书的艺术世界，整个场景？
I'm afraid I've been so influenced by it.
恐怕我受它的影响太大了。
It's like, you know--
就像，你知道——
I need to walk away.
我需要走开。
Mary Conway --those little ink drawings that are just a little bit off on purpose.
玛丽·康威——那些故意有点偏离的小水墨画。
You know what I mean?
你知道我的意思？
And the unpurposeness of it is just like, you know--
它的无目的性就像，你知道——
Oh, help me.
哦，帮帮我吧。
Yeah, right, right.
是啊，对，对。
You can always hear a Cat Stevens song playing in the background.
您总能听到 Cat Stevens 的歌曲在背景中播放。
As a kid, Mary played basketball mostly with her older brother, Daniel.
小时候，玛丽主要和她的哥哥丹尼尔一起打篮球。
The two of them roamed around the city together, looking for pickup games whenever they could, all summer, every weekend-- even at night, because the court down the street had lights.
他们两个一起在城市里闲逛，一有机会就寻找临时比赛，整个夏天，每个周末——甚至在晚上，因为街边的球场有灯。
It was a way to get out of the house, to escape the chaos of 11 kids in a working class Irish family in a too-small house on the edge of Northeast Philadelphia.
这是一种离开家的方式，是为了逃离爱尔兰工薪阶层家庭中 11 个孩子在费城东北部边缘的一所小房子里的混乱。
Basketball was a place of clear rules and gestures that always made sense.
篮球是一个有着明确规则和总是有意义的手势的地方。
And home was a place where you could get hit for no reason or find yourself still hungry at the end of a meal.
家是一个你可能会无缘无故挨打或者饭后发现自己仍然饥饿的地方。
Mary remembered being hungry a lot growing up, a fact always cheerfully denied by the nuns at school.
玛丽记得小时候经常挨饿，但学校的修女们总是乐呵呵地否认这一事实。
The message was you couldn't be hungry, because your parents are saints.
传达的信息是你不能挨饿，因为你的父母是圣人。
And they especially directed it to our family and to all the other families that had a lot of kids in them, that our parents were saints because they worked so hard to provide for us.
他们特别向我们的家庭以及所有其他有很多孩子的家庭传达这样的信息：我们的父母是圣人，因为他们辛勤工作养活了我们。
So I thought that I was just extraordinarily greedy that I would want to eat when I was hungry.
所以我想我只是太贪心了，饿了就想吃东西。
I think that playing basketball was a way to say, like, if I could use my body in this way that got me status and attention and a certain amount of prestige, then my body was OK in a way, even though it was-- I mean, I was way too skinny when I was a kid.
我认为打篮球是一种表达方式，如果我能以这种方式利用我的身体来获得地位、关注和一定的声望，那么我的身体在某种程度上就还可以，尽管我的意思是，我小时候太瘦了。
And it was cause for concern for the school nurse a couple times.
这几次引起了学校护士的担忧。
And playing basketball was a way to say you're not going to have neural damage from being malnourished.
打篮球是一种表明你不会因营养不良而遭受神经损伤的方式。
You're just going to have these other minor malnourished problems.
你只会遇到这些其他轻微的营养不良问题。
Another good thing about basketball was that it was cheap.
篮球的另一个好处是它很便宜。
Mary bought the family a rim and a basketball for their backyard when she was only seven or eight, using her first communion money, $65 in $5 increments from everyone in her huge family.
玛丽在七八岁的时候就用她的第一笔圣餐费为家里的后院买了一个轮圈和一个篮球，这笔钱是她大家庭中每个人的 65 美元，增量为 5 美元。
The only equipment she really needed and could never afford were good shoes.
她唯一真正需要却买不起的装备就是好鞋子。
She always had those supermarket checkout line shoes with the hard plastic soles that were completely embarrassing, of course, but also had no gripability.
她总是穿那种超市收银台的硬塑料鞋底鞋，当然很尴尬，而且没有抓地力。
So she would be running down the court and go sliding, and be called for traveling.
所以她会在球场上奔跑、滑行，然后被叫去旅行。
So one year, she got up the courage to ask a girl down the block for her old shoes.
于是有一年，她鼓起勇气向街区另一端的一个女孩要她的旧鞋子。
Her name was Karen.
她的名字叫凯伦。
And she had really nice Beta Bullets, high tops, white.
她有非常漂亮的 Beta Bullets，高帮，白色。
And I wanted her sneakers because I knew she was getting new ones.
我想要她的运动鞋，因为我知道她正在买新的。
And in our neighborhood, there is the practice of throwing your old sneakers up over the telephone wires when you're done with them.
在我们附近，有一种习惯，当你用完旧运动鞋后，就把它们扔到电话线上。
And most of them were hardly worn out at all.
而且大多数都几乎没有磨损。
I mean, a lot of them you could see that there was tread missing, but it's not like you had ripped through the top of them.
我的意思是，你可以看到其中很多都缺少胎面，但这并不像你撕破了它们的顶部。
And I'd asked her for them.
我向她要了这些。
And she said, yeah, that she would give them to me when she got her new ones.
她说，是的，当她收到新的时，她会把它们给我。
I thought that it was a little bit weird that I would ask somebody for their used shoes, but we had other clothes that were used from other people.
我觉得我向别人要他们用过的鞋子有点奇怪，但我们还有其他人用过的衣服。
And she was tough, and she kind of had this like, you know-- she seemed like she'd be the kind of person that could keep something like that to her and would know what it meant.
她很坚强，她有点像，你知道的——她似乎是那种可以把这样的事情留给自己并且知道这意味着什么的人。
And she did.
她做到了。
She never told anybody, except, of course, the most important person that she shouldn't have told, her mother.
她从来没有告诉过任何人，当然，除了她不应该告诉的最重要的人，她的母亲。
And her mother got really upset and told her that she couldn't give them to me.
她妈妈非常生气并告诉她不能把它们给我。
And there they were, hanging up on the telephone wire, my sneakers.
他们就在那里，挂在电话线上，我的运动鞋。
And I'm sure that her mom did that because she was afraid that if I came home with a pair of used sneakers that it would be insulting to my mother.
我确信她妈妈这样做是因为她担心如果我带着一双用过的运动鞋回家会侮辱我的母亲。
I'm sure that they all had this understanding of themselves.
我相信他们对自己都有这样的认识。
Like, you don't insult someone else's-- you don't insult one of your peers by giving their kids your crappy shoes, even though they're better than the crappy shoes that you bought for them.
就像，你不会侮辱别人的——你不会因为给他们的孩子你的蹩脚鞋子而侮辱你的同龄人，即使它们比你给他们买的蹩脚鞋子更好。
[CHUCKLES]
[笑声]
But there were always really beautiful sneakers hanging up on the wires.
但电线上总是挂着非常漂亮的运动鞋。
And there was no way to get them, no way at all.
而且没有办法得到它们，根本没有办法。
They just floated up there.
他们只是漂浮在那里。
And you know what?
你知道吗？
I think that's when I decided that platonic idealism was true.
我想就在那时我决定柏拉图式的理想主义是正确的。
[LAUGHTER] There really was a perfect thing that I would never experience, at least while I played in that Catholic league.
[笑声]确实有一件我永远不会经历的完美的事情，至少在我在天主教联赛中踢球的时候是这样。
[LAUGHS]
[笑]
And only I could see them for what they were.
只有我才能看到它们的本来面目。
They only saw worn-out tread.
他们只看到磨损的胎面。
I saw a season of unforeseen high statistics.
我看到了一个意想不到的高统计数据的赛季。
We talked for two hours about basketball, and we kept returning to the dunk and the cruelty of the dunk on that wood slice trophy, a dunk by a stick figure made of nails, driving home their 18-year-old sense of frustration.
我们聊了两个小时关于篮球的话题，我们不断地回想起那次扣篮，以及那个木片奖杯上扣篮的残酷，一个钉子做的简笔画扣篮，让他们18岁的挫败感更加强烈。
They could be the best ball handlers, the best guards, and it didn't matter worth a damn because they couldn't dunk, all of that captured forever in the last trophy most of them would ever receive.
他们可能是最好的控球手、最好的后卫，但他们不会扣篮，这一切都毫无意义，所有这些都在他们大多数人获得的最后一座奖杯中永远捕获。
I think it was really kind of thoughtless in the way that thoughtless things can sometimes have a really nasty edge to them.
我认为这确实是一种轻率的做法，因为轻率的事情有时会给他们带来非常讨厌的边缘。
And we had a woman on our team who was like 6' 3", and she couldn't dunk the ball.
我们队里有一位身高大约 6 英尺 3 英寸的女性，但她无法扣篮。
You know what I mean?
你知道我的意思吗？
It was like, there was no one that we knew who could dunk the ball, not a single woman that we knew.
就好像，我们认识的人中没有人能够扣篮，我们认识的女人也没有。
And we knew some tall women.
我们认识一些高个子女性。
We knew women who were in college.
我们认识上大学的女性。
I mean, I used to have a dream, a recurring dream that I dunked the ball.
我的意思是，我曾经做过一个梦，一个反复出现的梦，梦见我扣篮。
What were the circumstances?
当时的情况如何？
Mary Conway I was on the baseline.
玛丽·康威（Mary Conway）我处于基线。
[LAUGHS]
[笑]
I'm so glad you asked.
我很高兴你问了。
Mary Conway I mean, it was the same-- I was in the same position all the time.
玛丽·康威，我的意思是，都是一样的——我一直处于同一个位置。
And it wasn't like the kinds of dunks that you see in real life that even the best players can do.
这不像你在现实生活中看到的那种扣篮，即使是最好的球员也能做到。
This was a spectacular dunk because I didn't just get my hands up over the rim, I sailed over the rim with my feet and got above the basket, and just slammed the ball down through the thing.
这是一次精彩的扣篮，因为我不只是把手举过篮筐，而是用脚越过篮筐，到达篮筐上方，然后将球猛地击穿篮筐。
My whole body was above the rim.
我的整个身体都在篮筐之上。
Wow.
哇。
Mary Conway It stayed in bounds the whole time.
玛丽·康威：它一直处于界内。
Mary Conway talking with our own Nancy Updike.
玛丽·康威与我们自己的南希·厄普代克交谈。
Coming up, a kid who's not great at soccer invents a way to be a star.
接下来，一个不擅长足球的孩子发明了一种成为明星的方法。
That's in a minute from Chicago Public Radio when our program continues.

It's This American Life.
这就是美国生活。
I'm Ira Glass.
我是艾拉·格拉斯。
Today's program, "Time Out." In this kind of unprecedented moment when sports have been put on pause, like when has that ever happened?
今天的节目是《Time Out》。在这种史无前例的体育暂停时刻，什么时候发生过这样的事情？
We had favorite stories from back before the lockdown to fill in the void, the sports void.
我们在封锁之前有最喜欢的故事来填补空白，即体育空白。
We have arrived at Act Three of our program-- Act Three, Those Who Can't Play.
我们已经到了节目的第三幕——第三幕，那些不会玩的人。
OK.
好的。
So, so far on our show, we've done football and basketball.
所以，到目前为止，在我们的节目中，我们已经完成了足球和篮球。
Let's turn to soccer.

This is from Daniel Alarcon, the executive producer and host of Radio Ambulante.
这是来自流动电台的执行制片人和主持人丹尼尔·阿拉尔孔 (Daniel Alarcon) 的。
And it's about his dad.
这与他的父亲有关。
Growing up in Peru, Daniel's dad, Renato, played soccer around the neighborhood like all the kids did, but he was never anything special.
丹尼尔的父亲雷纳托在秘鲁长大，他像所有孩子一样在附近踢足球，但他从来没有什么特别的。
So it was certain, like, he was never thought of as being an athlete.
所以可以肯定的是，他从来没有被认为是一名运动员。
But he was thought of, from a young age, as being beyond unusually bright.
但从年轻时起，他就被认为异常聪明。
When I've gone back, I was introduced as, oh, this is Renato's son.
当我回去时，有人介绍我说，哦，这是雷纳托的儿子。
And then just heard, like, a-- just, oh, your dad was so smart.
然后就听到，就像，只是，哦，你爸爸太聪明了。
Your dad was so smart.
你爸爸真聪明。
When he was a kid, he won this-- he was, like, 14.
当他还是个孩子的时候，他就赢得了这个——当时他大概 14 岁。
He won this national quiz show for kids on TV.
他赢得了电视全国儿童智力问答节目。
Oh, wow.
哦，哇。
Daniel Alarcón Flew from the city where he lived in, flew to Lima.
丹尼尔·阿拉尔孔 (Daniel Alarcón) 从他居住的城市飞往利马。
He was the only kid from the provinces who was a finalist, only kid from a public school-- front page of the newspaper.
他是唯一进入决赛的来自各省的孩子，也是唯一来自公立学校的孩子——报纸的头版。
He was incredibly verbal kid, loved poetry and words, great talker.
他是一个非常善于言辞的孩子，喜欢诗歌和文字，非常健谈。
But again, soccer.
但再说一遍，足球。
There's two things that happen when you aren't one of the better players.
当你不是更好的玩家之一时，会发生两件事。
They put you in goal, to be a goalkeeper.
他们让你守门，成为守门员。
Maybe they might make you ref, but that's really, like, low, you know?
也许他们可能会让你参考，但这真的很低，你知道吗？
Yeah.
是的。
Daniel Alarcón But my dad turned that around and wasn't goalie or ref.
丹尼尔·阿拉尔孔 但我父亲扭转了局面，他不再是守门员或裁判。
And I'm sure he played.
我确信他参加了比赛。
I'm not saying that he didn't play.
我并不是说他没有参加比赛。
But he started calling the neighborhood games.
但他开始主持邻里比赛。
Wait, wait.
等等，等等。
So he was calling the games.
所以他正在主持比赛。
Did he have gear?
他有装备吗？
He had a microphone and a little speaker.
他有一个麦克风和一个小扬声器。
--when he's outside.
——当他在外面的时候。
Daniel Alarcón Yeah, yeah.
丹尼尔·阿拉尔孔 是的，是的。
And so basically he's just taking equipment down, and he's announcing kids' actual games--
所以基本上他只是把设备拿下来，然后他宣布了孩子们的实际游戏——
I would just imagine, like, if I were a kid playing in that game, to have somebody calling the game and I could hear them calling the game as I was doing it, it would make me so much more competitive.
我只是想像，如果我还是个孩子，玩那个游戏，有人打电话给我，我可以听到他们在我做的时候打电话，这会让我更有竞争力。
You know what I mean?
你知道我的意思？
It makes it so much more epic.
它使它变得更加史诗般。
Yeah, absolutely.
是的，绝对是。
My picture of it is like, how glamorous.
我的照片就像是，多么迷人。
Are you kidding me?
你在开玩笑吧？
Like, suddenly their game is elevated, and it's not just a neighborhood game now.
就像，突然间他们的游戏水平提高了，现在不仅仅是一场邻里游戏了。
It's like, look, this is just like we're on the radio, which is just like-- that's the same they do for the World Cup.
就像，看，这就像我们在广播中一样，就像他们在世界杯上所做的一样。
Daniel's dad would also make up games-- like whole professional games, like all the players, both sides, all the action-- starting, Daniel says, when he was 10 or 11.
丹尼尔的父亲也会编游戏——就像整个职业比赛一样，就像所有的球员、双方、所有的动作——丹尼尔说，从他 10 岁或 11 岁的时候开始。
He would do it just kind of for himself as, like, a thing to do, though the whole family knew he could do this.
他这样做只是为了自己，就像是一件要做的事情，尽管全家人都知道他可以做到这一点。
And if-- for example, on a Sunday afternoon after everyone's had lunch, my father would start to be the entertainment for the adults.
如果——例如，在周日下午，每个人都吃过午饭后，我父亲就会开始成为成年人的娱乐对象。
Hey, Renato.
嘿，雷纳托。
Can you make up a game for us?
你能为我们设计一个游戏吗？
Make it a good one.
让它成为一件好事。
And he would just describe a game.
他只会描述一场比赛。
And it's a completely made up game, but when a goal would be scored inevitably, the adults would cheer, and like, oh, that was great.
这完全是一场虚构的比赛，但是当不可避免地进球时，大人们会欢呼，然后说，哦，那太棒了。
That was a great game.
那是一场很棒的比赛。
And he got really good at this.
他在这方面非常擅长。
One of my great uncles had a little theater in a town called Mollendo on the beach, a beach town in southern Peru.
我的一位叔祖父在秘鲁南部海滩小镇莫伦多（Mollendo）有一个小剧院。
And they were doing sort of, like, a night of arts and poetry or whatever-- a talent show essentially, yeah.
他们正在做一个艺术和诗歌之夜或其他什么的——本质上是一场才艺表演，是的。
And my Great-Uncle Juan Castor signed up my dad and was like, you're going to do it just like you do for us.
我的叔公胡安·卡斯托尔给我爸爸报名了，他说，你要像为我们做的那样做。
Yeah.
是的。
Daniel Alarcón On Sunday afternoons.

He goes out on stage, 300 people in the theater.
他走上舞台，剧场里有300人。
And he's nervous, but what he does is essentially make up a game.
他很紧张，但他所做的本质上是编造一个游戏。
So Melgar is the club from Arequipa.

They're the local favorite from the province.
他们是该省当地人的最爱。
And in this game that he made up on stage, they played the big, fancy team from the capital, Lima.
而在这场他在台上编造的比赛中，他们对阵的是来自首都利马的庞大而华丽的球队。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Ira Glass They're like the Yankees.
[说西班牙语] Ira Glass 他们就像洋基队。
They're like the Yankees, yeah.
他们就像洋基队，是的。
We don't like them.
我们不喜欢他们。
In his telling of it, everyone plays the game with their life.
在他的讲述中，每个人都在用自己的生命来玩游戏。
Everyone does it exactly right as if controlled by a marionette-- which, of course, they were.
每个人都做得非常正确，就好像被木偶控制一样——当然，他们确实是这样。
Yeah, yeah.
是啊是啊。
Daniel Alarcón I find it very easy to believe that people could have been really moved by the sport.
丹尼尔·阿拉尔孔（Daniel Alarcón） 我发现很容易相信人们会真正被这项运动所感动。
It wasn't like a fake game.
这不像是一场假游戏。
It was the game.
这就是游戏。
And so in his game, the hometown team gets it up to the edge and scores?
那么在他的比赛中，家乡球队会全力以赴并得分吗？
Yes.
是的。
Melgar scores.
梅尔加得分。
People exploded, like you were cheering something that had actually happened.
人们爆发了，就像你在为真正发生的事情欢呼一样。
And the detail that he tells me that I'm always struck by is that when the lights came off and he went off stage, his uncle was crying, just weeping with joy and with, I guess, pride.
他告诉我的一个让我印象深刻的细节是，当灯光熄灭，他走下舞台时，他的叔叔在哭，只是因为喜悦而哭泣，我猜，还有自豪。

网上有一段你和你爸爸在舞台上的视频，你讲述了这个故事。

And you threw in some stadium sound underneath for realism.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] Ira Glass What's he saying?

So she circles around boxing, quits, comes back for one-night stands.

Last year, Milton signed her up for the Metros tournament without telling her.

On the night of the fight, he called her from ringside and told her they were holding up the match for her.

Maritza got in her car and drove from Queens to Brooklyn while Milton lied to the judges about Maritza being stuck in traffic.
玛丽莎上了车，从皇后区开往布鲁克林，而米尔顿则向法官撒谎，说玛丽莎陷入了交通堵塞。

In February, just after Maritza misses the deadline for the 1998 Golden Gloves, I go to Milton's gym to see her fight.
二月份，就在玛丽莎错过了 1998 年金手套奖的最后期限后，我去米尔顿的健身房观看她的比赛。
Even though, these days, Maritza isn't there much anymore, Milton has promised me that Maritza will spar with a new girl he's training.
