39. “Hi, I’m Kobe Bryant. And I have decided to take my talent to, uh… I have decided to skip college and take my talent to the NBA.” 

嗨，我是科比。然后我决定把我的天赋带到... 我决定跳过大学，把我的天赋带到NBA。

40. “On Grinnell’s Jack Taylor scoring 138 points in one game: “Would people be celebrating me if I scored 138 points? You know how it is; some people would, some people wouldn’t. They can all kiss my a– as I’m sure he feels the same way. If you score 138 points, you kind of have a license to tell people to f— off.” 

大家会因为我一场球拿下138分欢呼喝彩吗？你知道会怎样；一些人会，一些人不会。但他们都可以舔我的菊花，我知道他肯定也是这么想的。如果你能拿下138分，你便有资格跟这些人说滚球。

41. “All the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that I’ve done millions of times! The frustration is unbearable. The anger is rage. Why the hell did this happen?!? Makes no damn sense. Now I’m supposed to come back from this and be the same player or better at 35?!? How in the world am I supposed to do that?? I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that was. Maybe this is how my book ends. Maybe Father Time has defeated me…Then again maybe not!” 

因为那一步我重复了百万次的动作，我所有的训练和牺牲便都付诸东流了！这种苦闷太沉重了。愤怒也很猛烈。为什么这会发生？这是什么鬼情况？所以，我现在需要复健，然后在35岁的年纪回归到之前甚至是更好的我？我究竟要怎样才能做到？我没有任何头绪。我有没有足够的意志让我度过这难关？我是不是该拿出来我的轮椅然后开始怀念过去？也许这本书就是这样结尾的。也许时间老人击败了我... 也或许没有！

42. “I don’t f— with bees, man. Other than that, I’m not afraid of nothing.” 

我会离蜜蜂远远地，兄台。除此之外，我啥都不怕。

43. “It’s an intentional pass to oneself, so it’s an assist. That way people can’t say all I do is shoot.” 

这是个有意识的给自己的传球，所以这得算成助攻。这样人们就不能说我只会投篮了。

44. “What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me.” 

人们在场上看到的科比只是我的另外一面，他不是我。

45. “Are you willing to push the right buttons even if it means being perceived as the villain? … I’d rather be perceived as a winner than a good teammate. I wish they both went hand in hand all the time but that’s just not reality. … I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.” 

你是否愿意做出正确的选择，即便人们会把你认作为坏人？比起一个好的队友，我更愿意被认作为是个胜者。我也希望这两者永不互相矛盾，但事实不是这样。我跟把自己的失败归咎于他人的懒货没有共同语言。

46. “One thing you gotta know about me is I have absolutely no filter. I have no problem saying what the hell I think of someone.”  

关于我的一件事你得知道，那就是我口无遮拦。不管我对某人怎么想我都会毫无顾忌的说出来。

47. “My brain . . . it cannot process failure. It will not process failure. Because if I sit there and have to face myself and tell myself, ‘You’re a failure’ . . . I think that’s almost worse than death.” 

我的脑子没法处理失败。它不会。因为如果我就这么坐着，看着我自己然后告诉我我是个败笔。我觉得这样会比死还难受。

48. “I remember feeling the silence. I remember feeling the fear. I’m like, ‘This could be a wrap.’ And that’s what the silence was. It was like, ‘This could really be a wrap for you.’” 

我记得感受到那种沉默，那种恐惧。我在想：这可能就是结局了。感觉那种沉默就像是在说：这真的是这一切的结局了。

49. “I had to organize things. So I created the ‘Black Mamba’. So Kobe has to deal with these issues, all the personal challenges. The Black Mamba steps on the court and does what he does. I’m destroying everybody that steps on the court.” 

我需要整理思绪。所以我创造了‘黑曼巴’这么一个人物。所以当科比需要处理这些个人问题和挑战的时候，黑曼巴替他上场比赛然后做他该做的事。在场上粉碎一切对手。

51. “If you’re afraid to fail, then you’re probably going to fail.” 

如果你害怕失败，那你估计就会失败。

52. “I’m more than comfortable just sitting back and scoring 21, 22 points or whatever and getting 10, 11 assists whatever the case might be. More than comfortable with that. It’s just a matter of the pieces that you have around you and what you can do to elevate everybody else.”

我会很乐意低调一点，每场拿下22分10个助攻类似这样的数据。我真的会很乐意。但是你得考虑到你旁边是什么样的人，然后你能做多少去提高他们的水平。

53. “Take it all in. Sit back and watch and listen and hear all the hate that’s being thrown at us and remember every person that’s kicking you when you’re down, because next year it ain’t gonna be this way. Appreciate it now. Let it sit in now, because revenge is sweet and it’s quick.” 

吸收这一切。坐好了，好好看，好好听这些抛向我们的谩骂，然后记住所有那些落井下石的人们，因为来年就不是这样了。欣赏此刻。好好吸收它，因为复仇是那么美妙的一瞬间。

55. “The people who truly know me know what I’m like. There have been people who try to say things that aren’t fair, and I check them. And then they don’t like me because I checked them.” 

这些真正了解我的人知道我是什么样的。有些人会故意捏造些无端是非，我便会用行动让他们闭嘴。然后他们会开始讨厌我，因为我能用行动让他们闭嘴。

56. “Everyone looks at your watch and it represents who you are, your values and your personal style.” 

当人们看到你的手表的时候，他们能看到你的个人，价值观和风格。

57. “The Black Mamba collection of watches is me: It is my alter ego, so to speak. As I mentioned before, it is sharp, cutting edge and sleek which are characteristics I try to apply when I’m out there on the basketball court.” 

黑曼巴手表收藏是就如同是另一个自我。我之前说过，这些手表的炫酷，高端，和飘逸都是我尝试在篮球场上能够展现出来的品质。
