[外電] danger的故事

[BullShits (撥穴大師)]

這篇的主角是  妙麗.葛蘭傑!!!!!




呵呵 不是啦 是 綽號 "DANGER" 的 溜馬新看板人物

"DENNY GRANGER"




If it hadn’t been for an unusual growth spurt, Danny Granger could have been
one of the civil engineers designing sports arenas like Conseco Fieldhouse
instead of one of the basketball players performing in them.
Funny how things turn out.

如果不是不平凡的身體成長.GRANGER或許會變成一位土木工程師.設計出像是溜馬主場
Conseco Fieldhouse的建築.而不是成為在球場裡打球的球員.


For as long as he can remember, Granger had designs on becoming an engineer
-- a civil engineer, to be exact. He recalls heading straight to the computer
with his sister immediately after they returned home from school. The pair
decided they would both become engineers (his sister studied to become a
computer engineer). His natural knack for math and science also played into
his decision.

就GRANGER所記得的.他計畫成為一位專業的土木工程師.他回想起以前放學後
總是立刻回家跟著他姊姊埋頭用電腦.他們倆都決定要當工程師(他姐姐想當電腦工程師).
其中GRANGER精通數學及科學也是他考量的一部分.

“I always wanted to be a civil engineer,” said Granger, who began studying
the field at Bradley University and continued after transferring to New
Mexico. “That was my goal. I’m still passionate about it.”

GRNAGER說:我就是想當個土木工程師.從在Bradley念大學開始.一直到轉到New
Mexico. "這就是我的目標.直到現在我還是非常的熱衷"

However, a growth spurt back in ninth grade sent him soaring from 6-2 to 6-7
within months. It seemed a good indicator of the path the now 6-9 forward
would be taking.

然而.在他九年級後.幾個月內突然從6呎2長到6呎7.這正說明了為什麼眼前是一個6呎9的
前鋒在說話.

Height wasn’t the only thing that played into his talent on the court. He
credits his father, whom he describes as a very good basketball player, for
introducing him to the game when he was young. “He raised me up playing the
game,” said Granger, who had also tried football.

身高並不是他現在這麼強唯一的理由.他感謝他的爸爸.GRANGER描述他爸爸是個不錯的
籃球員.從小就指導他打籃球.GRANGER說"他鼓舞了我玩這場遊戲".GRANGER同時也是對
美式足球有興趣的.

His physique clinched his decision to pursue basketball as a sport. “I was
pretty fast, but my body is better built for basketball,” he said.

他的體格是他決定打籃球重要的因素.他說"我很快.所以我的身材更顯得我適合打籃球"

While he excelled at the game, Granger still had his Plan B. Or, in his case,
Plan A. He advises youths wanting to make it as a professional player to work
hard at their goal no matter the outcome.

正當GRANGER在球場發光發熱時.他仍然有著自己另一個目標.甚至對他來說.
這是主要的目標.GRANGER建議想當打球的小毛頭.仍然要為了自己目標努力.
不要在乎結果.

“Realistically, making it to the NBA is a very difficult goal,” Granger
said. “If you look at the numbers, percentage-wise, you see how many people
actually make it. It takes a lot of hard work and determination. And even if
you don’t accomplish that goal, you can still be successful while striving
for that goal. I wanted to be a civil engineer and I was using basketball as
my ticket to get a degree.”

"真的.靠著這專業進NBA是很難達成的目標"GRANGER說."但是你看看在這裡面的人.
你可以看到很多人真的辦到了.需要很多的努力以及決定.也許你不能實現你的目標
但是在這追尋的過程你仍然是成功者.就像我想當個土木工程師.我沒達到.但我仍然
靠著籃球讓我拿到學位."

These days, Granger feeds his passion for engineering by putting things
together at his home.

這些日子.GRANGER靠著在家裡裝修來滿足當個土木工程師的欲望.

“I’m still into electronic things,” said Granger, who installed a complex
music system in his house and did the wiring for his flat-screen TVs. “I
like just fooling with stuff in the house. I probably could hire somebody do
it for me, but I end up doing it myself.

他說.我會試著弄電子產品.他剛安裝了個複雜的音響系統.而且還拉線把平版電視
搞再一起."我無聊就會在家閒晃著.我是可以請個人來幫我弄.可是我還是選擇自己嘗試"


However, he completed the tasks and enjoys the fruits of his labor by
indulging in one of his other passions whenever he has the time.

然而.他還是做好了這些工作並且享受著流汗的快感.因為這些時光是做他有興趣的工作

In his spare time, he enjoys playing video games on his Xbox 360 such as John
Madden and NBA Live, where he is able to play as himself because he is
featured in the game. You might also find him at home indulging in his
favorite food, banana pudding. He has an incredible recipe handed down by his
uncle, who is a cook.”It is the most amazing banana pudding you will have
ever tasted,” he said. “It is unbelievable.”

在GRANGER的休閒時間.他喜歡打電動(XBOX360).像是JOHN MADDEN或是NBA Live等遊戲
因為他可以用他自己.因為他在電動裡很強哩.你也可以發現他再家沉溺於美味的食物中
-香蕉布丁.他叔叔是個廚師.傳授給他一個很不可置信的烹飪秘訣."你不會相信的"
"這一定是你吃過最好吃的香蕉布丁"GRANGER說.

Granger also enjoys watching movies.

GRANGER也喜歡看電影


A self-professed movie buff, Granger figures he owns at least 2,000 movies.
In his most recent attempt to count them, he was able to number about 1,500
right off the bat without counting the ones in other rooms.

在他自己的電影收藏裡.他說他最少有兩千部電影.而且在他最近一次去算.
他沒有去算別的房間.就計算了1500部了.

His favorite movie of all time: "Gladiator," which stars Russell Crowe.

他最喜歡的電影是 神鬼戰士 羅素克洛演的.

“No matter how many times I see that movie, I’m still drawn to it,”
 Granger said. “That’s the real test of a great movie.” A worthy runner-up
is "Armageddon," starring Bruce Willis. His favorite genre tends to be
action, drama and films with a message.

"不管是第幾次看這部電影.我總是可以接下去敘述他"GRANGER說.
"對我來說.這是對部好電影的好考驗" 他第二喜歡的是 世界末日 布魯斯威利演的
他喜歡的電影類型是動作片科幻片.

Granger’s love of movies dates back to his college days. He and his
girlfriend would head out to the theater early in the day on Saturdays and
watch three movies in a row. They often wouldn’t get back to their dorm
rooms until about 10 p.m. “We didn’t want to pay every time,” he said with
a laugh. “Money was tight.”

GRANGER喜歡電影是從大學開始.他和他女友會在禮拜六提早去電影院.然後看三部電影
他們通常不會在晚上10點前回到家."而且我們每次都不會付錢"他笑著說"因為手頭很緊唄"

When asked if he would ever consider taking on a role in Hollywood, Granger
has some serious doubts. “I’m not afraid of public speaking, but acting?"
he said. "Not my cup of tea.”

當有人問GRANGER說 你會考慮去好萊發展嗎? GRANGER很認真的懷疑說
"我是不怕在大眾面前演講啦.但是你要我去演戲?" "我是沒啥興趣啦"

Even so, he leaves room for the possibility. “Who knows?” he said.

即使如此.他還是留下著可能訊息 "不過誰知道呢?"

Indeed, who knows what the future holds for a young man who set out to become
a civil engineer and made it the NBA?

不過確實的.誰會知道一個未來想當土木工程師的小夥子現在會在NBA呢?
