What I Learn from Them
我從他們身上獲益匪淺
When I was a child, my father (having no son) decided he would instill a love of sport in both of his daughters.
當我還是小女孩的時候，我的父親（沒有兒子）決定向他們的女兒們灌輸對運動的熱愛。
While my sister leans more towards football, a love of basketball took root in my own heart and flowered.
當我的姐姐開始喜歡足球，我對籃球的熱愛像種子一樣生根發芽。
I can remember the great days of Clyde Drexler leading the team of defenders.
我對于德雷克斯勒領導的球隊的后衛至今記憶猶新。
The smiling face of a rookie, Sam Cassell, whose deep love of the game caused him to grin and laugh after taking a three-point shot that made everyone jump to their feet and gasp in anxiety before the whole crowd would explode into sounds of joy as the ball made a soft "swish" through the hoop.
薩姆·卡塞爾這個新手對于足球有深厚的感情，因此在踢進一個三分球之后他咧著嘴大笑起來，這是屬于新手的笑容。當空心球劃入足球門的時候，每個人一躍而起，感到震驚，接著人群就爆炸成歡樂的海洋。
And of course, the big man. There are times when we wake up that we are haunted by a dream we cannot remember... yet there was a Dream all of Houston experienced together that no one could ever forget.
了不起的新手。很多次我們醒來記不起做過的夢……但是這一刻是所有休斯頓民眾永生難忘的夢。
Hakeem Olajuwon came to us from Nigeria as a very shy freshman who would make a name for himself at the University of Houston, where the days of Phi Slama Jama will never be forgotten.
來自尼日尼亞的哈基姆·奧拉朱旺，一個害羞的新手，為他的母校休斯頓大學贏得名聲，史拉瑪·杰瑪將不會忘記在大學的日子。
He would quickly endear himself to the City of Houston, where those of us who watched his career on the court also saw him grow into his position as center, watched his skills develop and also, the baptism by fire of a great leader, who through his humbleness and grace would lead a brave young team to world championships.
他很快收到休斯頓人民的喜愛，在休斯頓我們既看到他在球場的表現，又看到他取得中心的位置，還看到他在偉大教練的幫助下提高了球技，這位謙遜而優雅的教練將領導一支勇敢而年輕的團隊加入世界錦標賽。
Olajuwon's humbleness, despite his obvious fame, lead him to keep quiet when the Houston Rockets franchise printed his first jersey with the name, "Akeem," using his first name instead of his last and misspelling it as well.
當火箭隊特許經營商制作了第一件印刷著“Akeem（使用了他的名而不是姓，并且省略了姓）”的運動衫盡管名聲顯赫，朱旺對此保持謙遜和沉默。
