I had contacted Sarah Morris months earlier looking for a fight. I realized now, watching her strain in this dark room to type words that perhaps no other soul will read, that I had found that fight.
几个月前我与萨拉·莫里斯联系的时候是想跟她干一仗。现在看着她在这个黑暗的房间里吃力地打着字写一篇或许根本没有人看的文章,我明白了这一仗是怎么一回事。
Only, it wasn't with Sarah. It was with myself. It is the same fight the sports world experiences daily in these times of cynicism. The fight to trust that athletes can still be heroes.
不过,这一仗不是跟萨拉打,而是跟自己打。这一仗和体育界在现今玩世不恭的年代里每天都在经历的一模一样。那就是要相信运动员仍然可以是英雄。
In a place far from such doubt, with a mind filled with wonder, Sarah Morris had brought me back.
在一个远离这种怀疑的地方,一个心智充满神奇的萨拉·莫里斯帮我找回了信任。
