科比遗孀含泪深情告白丈夫，看哭球迷

There would never be anyone like Kobe. Kobe was one of a kind. He was special. He was humble, off the court, but bigger than life.
不会再有人像科比一样。科比是独一无二的，是特别的。他为人低调，当然仅限场外，但却引人注目。

科比20年的职业生涯均在洛杉矶湖人队（Los Angeles Lakers）度过。期间，他曾随队获得五座总冠军，荣膺一次常规赛MVP（Most Valuable Player）、两次总决赛MVP和四次全明星赛（All-Star）MVP，并入选18次NBA全明星阵容；在国家队生涯中，他共获得两次奥运会男篮比赛金牌。他也是NBA中唯一一位有两个球衣号码退役的球员（湖人队8号和24号）。

“我希望我的丈夫能在这里接受这个至高无上的荣誉”，瓦妮莎对名人堂成员和粉丝们说。

Kobe’s personal stats, speak for themselves. Kobe was on a different level. He never took shortcuts when it came to basketball. He gave this game his all. Kobe played through injury after injury.
科比的赛绩说明了一切。他和别人站在不同的高度。对篮球，他从不走捷径。为了比赛，他付出了全部。科比在一次次伤病中坚持了下来。

To name a few, he had IVs administered during halftimes to play with food poisoning and the flu. He played with a broken nose. He had a broken finger and had it snap back in place, just enough to finish the game. He also taught himself how to use his left hand to play the rest of the season while his finger healed.
举几个例子，食物中毒和患上流感的时候，他中场打着点滴也要上场；鼻梁骨折他也继续打；手指脱臼，他为了打完比赛把手指折回原位；在手指恢复之前，他还自己学会了如何用左手打球。

Usually people thank everyone that has helped them get here, but since I don’t have Kobe’s specific list, I want to thank my husband. He did the work. He broke those records, and he inspired people to be great.
通常人们会感谢帮助他们站到这里的人。但是因为我没有科比会感谢的人的名单，我想感谢我的丈夫。是他做出了努力，是他打破了纪录，他激励人们变得更好。

I want to thank him for somehow finding ways to dedicate time to not only being an incredible athlete, a visionary entrepreneur and storyteller, but for also being an amazing family man.
我感谢他，尽其所能，奉献一生，不仅仅成为了不可思议的运动员、有远见的企业家和讲故事的人，还成为了了不起的热爱家庭的男人。

致辞的最后，瓦妮莎深情致敬科比：

Congratulations, baby, all of your hard work and sacrifice has paid off. He once told me, if you’re going to bet on someone, bet on yourself. I’m glad you bet on yourself, you overachiever. You did it. You’re in the Hall of Fame now.
恭喜你，亲爱的。你所有的努力和牺牲都有了回报。有一次他跟我说，如果你要在一个人身上打赌，赌在自己身上。我很高兴你相信了自己，你成为了成就超过预期的人。你成功了，现在你成为了名人堂的一员。

You’re a true champ. You’re not just an MVP, you’re an all-time great. I’m so proud of you. I love you forever and always, Kobe Bean Bryant.
你是真正的冠军，你不只是MVP，你也是史上最好的球员。我为你骄傲，我一直爱你，永远爱你，科比·比恩·布莱恩特。
