Harpring takes things hard
老驥伏櫪
By Lya Wodraska
The Salt Lake Tribune
While his younger teammates sat in their lockers and dealt with their
elimination from the NBA playoffs by discussing the lessons they'd learned
and how they could use them to improve in the future, forward Matt Harpring
stood in front of his locker late Friday staring into the distance as if to
see if he fixed his gaze long and hard enough, he could make his vision come
true.
當年輕隊友們高談闊論他們將怎麼從失敗中學到教訓的同時，
老哈普林只是呆站在自己衣櫃前，兩眼直視前方，靜默無語。
"It's tough," he said. "It's tough losing at home and ending the season at
home, especially for me. I'm getting to the twilight of my career and I only
have a few more chances to do this. This is one that could have happened.
There are very few people who can say they've won a ring in this league and
I'd love to be one of those guys one day."
「要接受在家輸球及球季結束的事實並不容易，特別是對我而言，」
「我的職業生涯已經走向尾聲了，我只有現在，機會卻擦身而過。」
「只有極少數的人能夠戴著戒指退休，我希望我也能是其中之一。」
Harpring, who is in the middle of a four-year, $25 million deal he signed
with the Jazz in July 2006, doesn't have any immediate plans to retire. He
takes his career year by year, he said. It was clear Friday night that while
his knees might ache and his minutes may dwindle from season to season,
Harpring would feel like he had cheated himself of an opportunity to win an
NBA title if he quit now.
老哈普林與爵士的四年合約剛走完一半，
但他認為眼下還不到他宣布退休的時候。
他能感覺膝蓋的傷痛只會隨著歲月加劇，
他的上場時間也會一季比一季來得要少，
但現在輕言離開他會覺得是在欺騙自己。
A veteran of 10 seasons, two with Orlando, and one each with Cleveland and
Philadelphia before he came to Utah in 2002, Harpring believes the Jazz have
the talent to win it all.
這位已經在沙場上征戰十年的老將2002年時來到猶他，
老哈始終相信他的隊友有足夠的天分拿下一座總冠軍。
"We definitely grew this year; guys played well, and I think we have a better
team than last year. Personally, I think even more than the Lakers," he said.
"We have a good group of guys here. That is just my personal opinion; I know
we have the talent in this locker room. Sometimes it doesn't mesh."
「今年是豐收的一年，這些小傢伙超乎想像，」
「我們比去年更好，進步幅度甚至贏過湖人，」
「當然啦，你可以說這只是我一個人的意見，」
「但環顧四周天分俯拾即是，只是未臻至善。」
Frustratingly, Friday night was one of those times. When the Jazz most needed
to be in sync to push the series to a Game 7, they were out of sync, getting
down by 19 before fighting back and losing 108-105.
禮拜五晚上顯然就是一次未臻至善的遺憾。
爵士隊全力拚搏想要將戰線拉長至第七場，
由十九分落後急起直追，卻仍以三分飲恨。
"If we had just come out with the mentality we needed to, with our backs
against the wall. . . . I know people say that all the time," Harpring said.
"But we needed to come out fighting. We needed to play like we did in the
fourth quarter in the first, second and third."
「假如我們有充分的鬥志、有後無退路的決心......」
「這種話每個人都嘛會說，但更重要的是奮戰不懈，」
「而不是到了最後關頭才要努力，就像第四節一樣。」
