18.Beckham Quits as England Captain
18. 大衛·貝克漢姆辭去英格蘭國家隊隊長的演說
On November 15th, 2000, Peter Taylor gave me the greatest honor of my career in making me captain of England and fulfilling my childhood dream.
2000年的11月15日，泰勒給了我職業生涯中最大的榮譽——讓我擔任英格蘭國家隊的隊長一職，幫我完成了兒時的夢想。
Now almost six years later, having been captain for 58 of my 95 caps,
如今六年轉眼即逝，在我為國家隊效力的95場比賽里，有58場我是以隊長身份出場的。
I feel the time is right to pass on the armband as we enter into a new era under Steve McClaren.
現在，英格蘭國家隊已經進入麥克拉倫時代，我也覺得是時候把隊長袖標傳給別人了。
It has been an honor and a privilege to have captained the country and I want to stress that I wish to continue to play for England
能帶領我的國家出戰對我來說是一種榮譽；我想強調的是，我希望能繼續為英格蘭國家隊效力，
and look forward to helping both the new captain and Steve McClaren in any way I can.
也期望能以自己的方式盡力去協助麥克拉倫和下任隊長。
I came to this decision some time ago, but I had hoped to announce it on the back of a successful World Cup. Sadly, that wasn't meant, that wasn't to be.
我做這個決定并非心血來潮，我原本打算在一次成功的世界杯后再宣布這個決定。但令人傷心的是，這未能如愿。
This decision has been, has been the most difficult of my career to date.
到目前為止，這是我職業生涯里最難做出的一個決定。
But after discussing it with my family and the closest to me, I feel that the time is right.
但在和我的家人和密友商量過后，我覺得現在是時候這么做了。
