阿里口中的蝴蝶与蜜蜂

2016-06-05 15:57阅读:
我一直以为拳王阿里是个四肢发达、头脑简单的拳击高手,我错了。
他的头脑一样发达,他说的话和跟他打出来的拳一样,让人印象深刻。
因此,缅怀他的去世,才富有意味。
(想象一下泰森去世,标题大概是,那个咬人的大家伙离开我们了)
下面以CNN的头条纪念文章为蓝本,欣赏一下阿里的语录(奇怪的是,阿里语录居然不流行,以至于我还费功夫翻译(或者百度翻译))。
(有些话,看英文更有意思)
一、经典
'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.'
像蝴蝶一样移动,像蜜蜂一样出击,看不见于是打不到。
有点古龙的风范。(所谓蝴蝶步法,神似凌波微步)
1974年和乔治·福尔曼比赛之前
'I wrestled with an alligator, I tussled with a whale, I handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail, I'm bad man....Last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I'm so mean I make medicine sick,' he said to laughs ahead of his famous 'Rumble in the Jungle' but with George Foreman in 1974,
为了这场赛事,我与鳄鱼角斗,与鲸鱼格斗;我把电公拷上手铐,把雷母送进牢房。你们都知道的,我不是个好人。我的心肠时好时坏,让杀人犯颤抖,让岩石战栗;我是那样的坏,坏得使良药变成毒药。
随后,
'It will be a killer and a chiller and a thriller when I get the gorilla in Manila.'
这句话,冷血杀手的形象酷毙,难以翻译。
二、狂语
Ali took the art of talking himself up to new leve
ls, reminding rivals that there was only one king of the ring.
'If you even dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologize.'
“如果你做梦时候打败了我,最好醒来道歉”
'It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.'“我这样牛逼的人很难谦虚”
'Not only do I knock'em out , I pick the round.'
'I'm a poet, I'm a prophet, I'm the resurrector, I'm the savior of the boxing world. If it wasn't for me, the game would be dead.'
“我是诗人、先知,我拯救了拳击运动”
'It's not bragging if you can back it up.'
只要你能实现梦想,就没有吹牛这一说。
'I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.'
“我的动作太快了。昨天睡觉前,我把酒店房间的灯关了,在房间变黑之前我就已经躺到床上了。”
三、励志
'Don't count the days, make the days count.'
别数日子,让每一天值得过。
'Live every day like it's your last because someday you're going to be right.'
(这鸡汤,咱太熟悉了)把每一天当最后一天。
Some of the greatest achievements are made by people too stupid to know they are impossible.
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossble is temporary. They laughed at me and told me it was impossible to achieve my goals.
They soon found out impossible is nothing.
一些巨大的成就是由一些傻到不知道何为不可能的人完成的。
“不可能”仅仅是小人物说的一个字眼,来让他们自己在自己被给予的世界中活的略微宽心一点,但这些人不敢于去发掘改变自己生活的力量。“不可能”不是一个事实,它仅仅是一个观点。“不可能”不是一个宣判,而是一种挑战。“不可能”仅仅是潜在的,“不可能”是暂时的。他们嘲笑我并且告诉我我不可能达到我的目标。
他们很快发现“不可能”什么都不是。
(Impssible is nothing 随着广告语从此风靡世界)
'The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.'
人不能白活。
当然他说,
Ironically, he also said, 'I don't like fighters who talk too much.'我不喜欢说很多话的人。

CNN:Best quotes from Muhammad Ali 。
他的名字是后来改的,“克雷是一个奴隶的名字,这个名字不是我选的,我也不想要了。从现在起我是穆罕默德·阿里,一个自由的名字,意思是受神宠爱,我也希望人们在提到我的时候,也用这个新名字。”
他用颤抖的双手点燃了奥运火炬。
阿里同志永垂不朽。
