[心得] 在那個星期六，Robin van Persie提醒了我們，傳說還在延續

[lang1025 (風)]

呃、抱歉我這篇其實不是要寫阿橘要的對球隊的期許的XD"
（我只是想翻又第一次翻有點不敢貼而已，趁這個機會大家都在PO文偷渡一下（？））

而是RvP攻入第一百個進球的幾天後我在網上看到的一篇文章
裡面有些部分因為我還滿喜歡的，所以嘗試著翻譯了整篇文章（雖然有點腿了）
第一次翻譯可能錯誤連篇也翻得不是很好，還請告位板友多多包涵＞＜

On Saturday, Robin van Persie reminded us that legends still exist
在那個星期六，Robin van Persie提醒我們，傳說還在延續。

Sometimes it's easy to forget heroes still exist. It's so easy to look at
Arsenal's struggles this season and dwell on the mistakes and missed
opportunities. Easy to put idols from the past on pedestals, and compare every
current player to an ideal that they can't possibly hope to achieve.

常常我們會忘了英雄始終存在。我們總是看著阿森納在這賽季不斷掙扎，反覆糾結於那些
失誤和錯過的機會。不斷推崇已經成為過去式的球星，並且給現任球員一個他們還無法做
到的超高標準。

On Saturday, Robin van Persie reminded us that there are legends still among
us. By notching his 99th and 100th goals for the club, the Dutch Gunner joined
the likes of legends like Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Ian Wright,
Frank Stapleton and Alan Smith as one of Arsenal's most prolific strikers in
the club’s 125-year history.

那個星期六，Robin van Persie使我們發現傳說仍在繼續。藉由取得他效力阿森納的第
九十九個和第一百個進球，這位荷蘭槍手以阿森納125年歷史中最多產的射手之一，列席了
有著Thierry Henry、Dennis Bergkamp、Ian Wright、Frank Stapleton和Alan Smith
等人的傳奇史冊。

There are only 17 members of the “Century Club.” Seventeen players in
One-and-a-Quarter centuries of existence. In this Anniversary season, with
"Forward" being the new motto on the crest, and ironically many concerns about
the way "forward" (pardon the pun) for the club, what a stark reminder of our
past.

在這一又四分之一個世紀中，僅僅只有十七人進入這「百球俱樂部」中。
（感謝changyg！）
在這個紀念的賽季，隨著「FORWARD」成為隊徽上新的口號，我們還得諷刺的關注俱樂部
該如何「前進」，這多麼殘酷的喚醒了我們對於過去的回憶。

To me, it was a reminder that just how tremendous this club is, and how
stunningly successful they have been, not just in the last 10 years, or the
last 20 years, but FOREVER. With the exception of the 1960’s, Arsenal have
won the League at least once every decade since the 1930’s. In our entire
history in the top flight, we've only finished below fourteenth SEVEN TIMES!
And it's a long running history, since the club has been in the top flight
since 1919.

這代表我們的俱樂部是多麼的壯大，而過去又曾是多麼的成功－－不只是過去十年、二十
年，而是更長久的歲月。自從1930年代起，除了1960年代之外，阿森納每十年最少會贏得
一座聯賽獎盃。在俱樂部的漫長歷史中，自從1919年進入頂級聯賽後，阿森納只有七次名
次低於十四名。

Robin’s achievement did more than just remind us of our club’s greatness.
It also showed that in this current era where money talks, and loyalty has been
replaced by “The Golden Rule” (he who has the gold, makes the rules), a
player can stay loyal.

Robin的成就不只是提醒我們俱樂部的偉大。
它證明了在這個金錢說話、忠誠被「冠軍準則」（誰是冠軍誰大聲）取代的年代裡，還有
個球員能夠堅持他的忠誠。

Scoring 100 goals for one club doesn’t just take skill, it takes commitment
and loyalty to the club you are with.

為一家俱樂部攻進一百個進球需要的不只是技巧，它還需要對於俱樂部的承諾與忠誠。 

van Persie has watched others around him pick up and move on to other clubs,
looking for more money, or a better opportunity, but RVP has always proclaimed
that Arsenal will be the only club he plays for until his declining years,
when he would like to return to his boyhood club Excelsior.

van Persie看著他身邊的人打包前往其他家俱樂部，追求更多的金錢、或更好的機會。但
RVP始終宣稱阿森納將是他唯一效力的俱樂部，直到他想回到青訓時期的俱樂部鹿特丹精
英隊時。

The scary part for me is thinking about how much faster he would have reached
this milestone if injuries hadn’t plagued his career. The 238 appearances
he’s made for the club have been intertwined with injury layoffs, and I wonder
how many more he would have bagged if he hadn’t spent so much time recovering
and regaining form.

我想最驚人的是，若是傷病沒有一直困擾著他的職業生涯，他將多快就可以達成這個里程
碑。他為俱樂部效力的238場賽事總是交織著傷病。而若是他沒有花費這麼多時間在養傷
和恢復狀態的話，難以想像他還能夠打入多少個進球。

I hope that the rest of the club can feed off of this moment. Every single
player on this team should look at Van Persie’s achievement and aspire to
reach something similar. This is what it means to be an Arsenal legend.
Hopefully the club can build off of their good result, and be inspired by
their great captain.

希望俱樂部全員都能仔細品味這一刻。這支球隊中的每一個球員都該向Van Persie的成就
看齊，並且立志和他走上相同的道路。這更是成為阿森納傳奇一員的意義。希望整個俱樂
部都能被他們的Vantastic隊長激勵，並且從中獲得什麼。

Hopefully, this team finally ready to move “Forward”.

這支球隊終於懷著希望地開始向前邁進。

我想球隊現在屋漏偏逢連夜雨
鐵人如薯條頭被斷腿
威脅雖然當爸了但養傷還得養好久
中衛居然又缺人缺到面臨爽哥得去打工的窘境
最讓人難過的莫過於Rosicky的孩子流產……

雖然RvP這第100個進球已經是上週（呃、準確來說是上上週？）的事情了，
但仍然希望這件事能繼續帶給球隊正面的力量。
並且期許這賽季槍手能擺脫傷病不斷，不要再有人受傷，
大家都健健康康的踢完一整個賽季。
