[外電] Kings' Miller vows he'll rebound after suspension

In a remorseful and candid interview, the Kings center who failed a drug test
for a third time because of marijuana use late last season discussed his
transgressions for the first time publicly Thursday. Miller was suspended for
the first five games of this coming season and will lose approximately
$693,000 of his $11.3 million salary.
大米因為呼麻被抓包而被罰693,000元

Yet as he talked by phone while his 18-month-old daughter Anniston played in
the background, he said the lost wages don't matter nearly as much as the
importance of changing his ways.
大米說，罰錢並沒有什麼，改變他人生的道路比較有什麼。

Q: Brad, you knew this was coming. But what was your reaction when the news
came out?
大米，你知道麻煩來了。當新聞出來的時候你的反應是什麼？

A: I just want to try and take advantage of all of the resources. As soon as
I get back to Sac, I have to go and talk to a doctor and stuff, just try and
take advantage of that. Obviously, I know I'm an idiot for putting myself in
this situation.
我只想試著去利用所有資源，當我一回到Sac，我必須和醫生還有相關人員聊聊，只是
試著去利用那些東西。很明顯地，我知道我是個白癡，將自己搞成這樣。

Sometimes things have to get really bad before I fix things in my life, and
that's (how) it's been my whole life.
有時候在我改掉一些東西之前，有些東西真的會在我的人生中造成不好的影響，而且是
在我整個人生中。

Telling mom (Rosie Miller) and grandma (Mary Ann Heitz) wasn't a great
conversation to have, obviously. It was pretty tough trying to take the high
road … in terms of trying to take advantage of people and resources (the
league makes) you have to do and help me get through it. All the stress gets
to you, and this is one way to take my mind off of everything. I'll look for
something different. I don't like sleeping pills – that's my biggest
problem. Whether it's some sort of vitamin or something that can help as
well. I want to talk to (medical professionals) and find some help. That's
one of the main things I'm going to do when I get back to Sacramento.
告訴媽媽和奶奶並不是個好主意。做對的事並不是那麼容易…試著去利用任何人和資源
來幫助我渡過這難關。所有的壓力朝著你而來，而這是其中一種方式來讓我放輕鬆。我
會尋找不同的方式。我不喜歡安眠藥--這是我最大的問題。無論是某種維他命或者某種
可以幫助我的東西。我想去和藥物專家談談來尋求幫助。這是當我回到Sac時最主要做的
一件事。

Q: Is the stress and helping you sleep your main reasons for using it?
你為什麼要用它？因為壓力還是幫助你睡覺？

A: It's tough to sleep, you know. And you know, the people who might think
I'm a bad guy for this – I'm not a bad guy. I'm still me. It's just one
thing I thought would help. It obviously wasn't the right thing to do, but it
was helpful to my mental state. I have normal Brad and the
when-I-get-on-that-court Brad. It's a battle all the time to get that balance
between the two. People meet me, and they're like, "Man, you're not laid
back." Well, that's because you never met me off the court. We'll see how
they (doctors) can help and make it easier. One goal is to come back in even
better shape than last year. That's what I've got to do right now. No. 1 and
No. 2 goals are to get the health and come back and have another hell of a
year.
真的是睡不著，你知道嗎，有人也許會因此而認為我是個壞蛋--我不是壞蛋。我仍然是我
，這只是我需要幫忙的一件事罷了，很顯然這並不是件好事，但對於我的心理狀態很有幫
助。有兩個我，正常的大米和「那個時候」的大米(好酷!!)，在兩個角色中取得平衡不是
件簡單的事。人們認識我，而他們就像是在說「man，你不能走回頭路」，好吧，那是因
為你不認識場下的我。就來看醫生們怎麼來幫助我。比去年的狀態更好是我的一個目標。
首要的兩個目標就是健康和打出很棒的一年。

Q: You have guys out there like (Dallas') Josh Howard who just say, "This is
what I do," but you sound like you're trying to cut it out of your life.
就像Josh說的"這就是我所做的"，但聽起來你好像正試著要去戒掉。

A: Back in the day, I was worse. … Obviously, the little one has changed a
lot of my philosophies and a lot of the ways I act.
過去的日子裡，我更是糟糕。很明顯的，這小東西已經改變了很多我的生活哲學還有
我生活的方式。

Q: Two years ago, you didn't have the season you wanted to have. You come
back refreshed and in much better shape, physically in a whole different
world. Has this been a process the last couple years to clean things up
overall outside of this situation?
兩年前，你還沒有打出漂亮的一季。你重新武裝自己，變得完全不一樣了。這兩年中你
是怎麼辦到這件事的。

A: The thing is, I don't like drinking anymore. A couple years ago – I'll
say it – I drank way too much and didn't like who I was. It wasn't good for
my relationship (with longtime girlfriend Abby Robinson) and basketball and
everything. I'm just trying to find a way to change out of that, that relief.
… I haven't done it (smoked marijuana) in years during the season. I just
drank and that wasn't a good thing to do. I didn't like that person at all.
My boys (friends) did, but that's your boys.
我不再喝酒了。兩年前，我喝的太多，而且不喜歡以前的我。這對於我和女友的關係還
有任何事情都不好。我只是試著尋找一種方式去改變這情況。我已經很久沒有在球季中
呼麻了，我只喝酒，這是不對的事。我一點都不喜歡那個人，我的兄弟們喜歡，但那是
你的兄弟。

Q: I'm sure you care first about your family and friends, but Big Brad has
received plenty of love over the years from Kings fans. Was it a blow to the
gut to have your name out there like this and see the reaction from those
folks?
我知道你最在乎你的家庭和朋友們，但大米這幾年從球迷那得到許多愛。而這件事會
因此搞壞你的名聲，你怎麼看球迷們的反應。

A: It definitely (was) because I was having a good year, and this obviously
puts a big damper on the year that it was. When stuff gets bad, I've always
tried to persevere … and come back stronger – come back as strong as I can
mentally and physically, just everything. That's one thing I can do and
that's what my goal is right now.
確實是，因為我去年表現得很棒，而這的確是讓我去年的表現蒙上一層陰影。當事情變
糟了，我總是試著堅持下去…且更趨強壯--心理和生理都是一樣。這是我唯一可以做的，
也是我現在的目標。

(呼...有些感覺翻得不是很好...有錯請指正)
