Unit 25 Michael Jordan

第25单元 迈克尔·乔丹

Have you ever heard "When the going gets tough, the tough get going?" Michael Jordan has. Sports fan or not everyone has heard of Michael Jordan.

你听说过“当情况变遭,只有坚强的人会采取行动”这句话吗?迈克尔·乔丹就有听过。不管你是不是运动迷,你一定听过迈克尔·乔丹的大名。

He has received numerous awards including being voted as the best athlete of the 20th century by ESPN in 1999. Earning over 80 million dollars endorsing Nike, and millions as a NBA superstar, it is safe to say that Jordan has been successful. Yet success didn't come easily.

他获得无数奖项,其中包括ESPN于一九九九年选出的二十世纪最佳运动员。替耐克代言为他赚进八千万美金,而NBA超级球星的身价更高达百万,乔丹毋庸置疑是个成功的人,可是成功得来并不易。

Did you know that in 1978 he was cut from his high school varsity team? Not giving up, he trained hard and with the help of a growth spurt, got accepted on the varsity team the following year.

你可知道在一九七八年,他未能入选高中篮球校队?他非但没有放弃,反而更加努力训练,并拜成长期所赐,在隔年入选篮球校队。
His talent was recognized and he was given a basketball scholarship from the university of North Carolina. To compare Jordan to everyone else would be unrealistic. His athletic ability has made him the best basketball player ever to grace the courts.
他的天分从此被承认,并得到北卡罗来纳州立大学篮球奖学金。拿乔丹和任何人相比是不实际的,他的运动能力使他成为篮球史上最好的球员。
But what he does have in common with Everyman is the inner strugle we all must face when recognizing our talents. Believing in yourself when no one else does could be the key to your success.
可是在他认清自己的天分之前,他也和所有人一样历经内心的挣扎。当其他人都不相信你,你仍然对自己有自信,将是迈向成功之钥。
