以下是當年大學聯考英文3X分的人的不負責任翻譯，看不下去的就講一下讓我改正吧。


※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言：

: 再來一篇乳摸吧！
: -----------------
: Ron Artest's attempt to make amends with the Pacers has failed. Donnie Walsh,
: Indiana's CEO, has insisted the Pacers will not take Artest off the inactive
: list as they attempt to trade him.

阿泰嘗試回頭的這條路失敗了，溜馬的執行長仍然堅持，在他們洽談交易時，阿泰必須
在inactive名單裡乖乖待著。

: The Timberwolves' Wally Szczerbiak ended his shooting slump a month ago. He
: has played his best basketball in the four years since his All-Star appearance.
: If there was ever a chance for Szczerbiak to be coveted by a team such as the
: Pacers, now would be the time.

帥哥擺脫了低潮，他現在的表現是四年前參加全明星賽後以來最好的一刻，如果帥哥有
機會讓溜馬之類的球團流口水的話，那就是現在了。以下，我們先來看看路人怎麼說。

: Andrew Hjelmeland Sr. of Plymouth was in the stands 45 minutes before
: Wednesday's tipoff against New Orleans. Would you make the deal -- Szczerbiak,
: 28, and offensively talented, for Artest, 26, and among the best two-way
: players in the world?

第一個鄉民被問及是否願意用帥哥─28歲，進攻一把罩，交易阿泰─26歲，世界上在攻
守兩端表現最佳者之一，

: "Not in this town," Hjelmeland said. "We have enough jerks in this town
: already."

他說：別來！這個城市已經有太多渾蛋了。

: Andrew Jr., a 30-something fan, said: "It's not a question of skill with
: Artest, but how could you touch that attitude?

另一個鄉民說：這不是因為阿泰實力的問題，而是，你敢領教他的態度嗎？

: And how could you get rid of Wally? He's a great guy and he's playing very
: well."

還有，你怎能把帥哥踢掉？他是個好人（??）而且球打得超棒的。

: Jim Waters of Bloomington was in Target Center with his wife and two young
: children.

接著訪問的是一個帶著老婆和兩個小孩的鄉民。

: "Of course, I'd make that trade," Waters said. "Artest might get thrown out
: of the league, but we're trading Wally, so who cares? Wally's OK, until you
: want him to guard somebody, and then he has two left feet."

「當然，我會接受這個交易」，他說：阿泰可能被踢出聯盟，但我們也想交易掉帥哥，
所以呢？那又怎樣？帥哥很好，直到你要他去防守其他人，而他的表現像是有兩隻左腳
（XD）。

: Liz Heim, in her 20s from Wayzata, was wearing a Kevin Garnett jersey. Wally
: for Artest?

然後，是一個穿著狼老大球衣的鄉民，「用帥哥交易阿泰，你覺得如何？」

: "No," said Heim, with enthusiasm. "I like Wally as a player, but it's more
: what I don't like about Ron Artest."

這位激情的鄉民說：噢！千萬不要，我喜歡帥哥，而且我更不喜歡阿泰！

: The Timberwolves have been extra bold only once in the 11 seasons that Kevin
: McHale has run the basketball operation for owner Glen Taylor. That was before
: the 2003-04 season, when they needed an incentive for ticket sales and for
: Kevin Garnett to sign a contract extension.

在McHale為Taylor執行籃球營運工作的十一季以來，灰狼只有一次表現的比較大膽。那
是在03-04球季之前，那時候他們需要誘因以刺激票房，並且和KG續約。

: They brought in Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell, talented, controversial
: veterans, and reached the Western Conference finals.

於是，他們交易來了兼具才能和經驗的外星人及鎖喉手，並一路殺進西區冠軍賽。

: This was followed by a season of chaos -- so much so Taylor would declare the
: Cassell-Sprewell acquisitions to have been a "failed experiment."

然而，之後一整季的混亂，使得Taylor不得不承認交易他倆是個失敗的實驗。

: It's now a season later, Cassell and Sprewell are gone, and the Wolves are
: more of a team than in 2004-05. Yet, it's a very limited bunch, and there is
: no excitement among the ticket-buying public.

又過了一個球季，外星人跟鎖喉手都走了，而灰狼也比上季更像一支團隊。但是，現在
球隊裡面是一群缺乏創意的人，在票房上也沒有任何令人興奮的事。

: Szczerbiak is giving everything he has, and it's not enough to get the Wolves
: hovering much above the .500 mark.

帥哥盡力去做他能力所及的每件事，但這對於讓球隊更上一層樓仍然不夠（超過五成勝
率更多）。

: Artest is beyond erratic as a personality, but he's also one of the 10 best
: all-around players in the NBA. Put him with Garnett and that would give the
: Wolves two of the top 10.

阿泰雖然個性古怪，但不可否認，他也是聯盟內十大全能球員之一，如果把他和狼王擺
在一起，那灰狼就有兩個超級全能球員了。

: Garnett and Artest would play off one another brilliantly. They would create
: the possibility of a playoff run next spring in a much-weakened Western
: Conference.

他們倆也可能在明年的季後賽創造另一段輝煌事蹟，尤其西區已經比之前弱上許多。（
我怎麼不這麼覺得？）

: Artest also would create the possibility of a complete implosion. He could
: elect to practice once and decide he again preferred to be a rap singer. He
: could punch an opponent and face a career-destroying suspension from David
: Stern, the NBA's autocrat.

阿泰也可能會自爆。他可能突然跑去唱他喜愛的rap，或是因海扁對手而被Stern火掉。

: The Wolves also would be creating the chance for Garnett and Artest to join
: forces and provide the best-ever basketball seen in Target Center from the
: home team.

球隊也可能讓KG和阿泰合作，打出隊史以來在主場最棒球賽的機會。（是這個意思嗎？）

: Knowing the salary difference (Artest, $6.5 million; Szczerbiak, $10 million)
: would require taking on a piece of Indiana's dead wood, and Artest would need
: a big extension to kick in after the 2008 season in order to have any chance
: to remain content and productive ... what would you do?

考慮薪資的差異（阿泰650萬，帥哥1000萬），.......（然後又不會翻了　= =）而阿泰
在08球季之後也會要求一份肥約，那，你會怎麼做？

: If I was Taylor, I would take a look at a team destined to remain slightly
: above average, and take a look at all those empty seats, and tell McHale to
: take his shot at Artest, even if it would cost Szczerbiak.

如果我是Taylor，我會看看球隊那永遠只比一般好一點點的成績，再看看那些空的位子
，然後告訴McHale，要他鎖定阿泰，即使必須送出帥哥。

: It would be the gamble of gambles, but it would provide a base of talent and
: a level of conversation that would be unmatched for this franchise.

這將是一場賭注中的賭注。

: The odds are probably above 50 percent the gamble would fail, but the odds
: are close to 100 percent that the Wolves as currently constituted will be a
: non-factor in the playoffs and maintain their lowly status with Twin Cities
: sports consumers.

這個賭注有50%以上的機率會失敗，但如果灰狼維持現狀，進不了季後賽（不知道non-f
-actor是什麼，所以亂猜　orz）和不受雙城人支持的機率是將近100%。





果然，當年英文3X分的成績夠客觀　XD
