[外電] LeBron: I'm coming back to Cleveland
懶人包：過去四年是美好且不可忘懷的四年。
現在，替我的家鄉贏得一座冠軍是最重要的一件事情。
現在，我要重返騎士。

Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from
Northeast Ohio. It’s where I walked. It’s where I ran. It’s where I cried.
It’s where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart. People there have
seen me grow up. I sometimes feel like I’m their son. Their passion can be
overwhelming. But it drives me. I want to give them hope when I can. I want
to inspire them when I can. My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger
than basketball. I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now.
Ohio 是我成長的地方，是我心中佔有重要位置的家鄉。
四年前我並不知道，我與 Northeast Ohio 的連結比之我與籃球的連結還要重要。
現在我知道了。
Remember when I was sitting up there at the Boys & Girls Club in 2010? I was
thinking, This is really tough. I could feel it. I was leaving something I
had spent a long time creating. If I had to do it all over again, I’d
obviously do things differently, but I’d still have left. Miami, for me, has
been almost like college for other kids. These past four years helped raise
me into who I am. I became a better player and a better man. I learned from a
franchise that had been where I wanted to go. I will always think of Miami as
my second home. Without the experiences I had there, I wouldn’t be able to
do what I’m doing today.
四年前我做了一個艱難的決定：我離開了一個我花費了很長時間經營創造的事業。
雖然我當時離開了，但若是現在，我無疑會做出不同的決定。
這四年在邁阿密的歲月，就像是大學四年對於孩子的歲月一樣重要。
這四年讓我成長，讓我知道我應該成為怎樣的人。
我變的更好，而在邁阿密 - 我第二個家的體會，讓做出我在今天會做出的作為。
I went to Miami because of D-Wade and CB. We made sacrifices to keep UD. I
loved becoming a big bro to Rio. I believed we could do something magical if
we came together. And that’s exactly what we did! The hardest thing to leave
is what I built with those guys. I’ve talked to some of them and will talk
to others. Nothing will ever change what we accomplished. We are brothers for
life. I also want to thank Micky Arison and Pat Riley for giving me an
amazing four years.
因為 WADE 跟 BOSH，我們聚首於邁阿密，為了保全 UD 犧牲，與 RIO 成為兄弟。
我相信我們能做到傑出的成就，我們也的確做到了。
離開這群戰友與我們一起建立的一切，的確是非常艱難的一件事情。
但我們一起完成的成就，將永不磨滅。
感謝 Michy 跟萊里給我們機會一起造就一個美好的四年賽季。
I’m doing this essay because I want an opportunity to explain myself
uninterrupted. I don’t want anyone thinking: He and Erik Spoelstra didn’t
get along. … He and Riles didn’t get along. … The Heat couldn’t put the
right team together. That’s absolutely not true.
I’m not having a press conference or a party. After this, it’s time to get
to work.
When I left Cleveland, I was on a mission. I was seeking championships, and
we won two. But Miami already knew that feeling. Our city hasn’t had that
feeling in a long, long, long time. My goal is still to win as many titles as
possible, no question. But what’s most important for me is bringing one
trophy back to Northeast Ohio.
我離開克里夫蘭時，奪冠是我最重要的任務，我們也的確拿到兩個。
現在，我的主要任務，也是對我最重要的使命就是替我的家鄉 - Ohio 帶來一座冠軍。
I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I
just didn’t know when. After the season, free agency wasn’t even a thought.
But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started
thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I
looked at other teams, but I wasn’t going to leave Miami for anywhere except
Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes
me happy.
即使我不知道何時，但我深信我將會在克里夫蘭結束我的職業生涯。
賽季結束後，我開始思考在我的家鄉，讓我的家人與孩子成長。
除了熱火與騎士，沒有第三支球隊列入我的考慮之中。
To make the move I needed the support of my wife and my mom, who can be very
tough. The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the
jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were
more mixed. It was easy to say, “OK, I don’t want to deal with these people
ever again.” But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid
who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my
own life, and then he left? How would I react? I’ve met with Dan,
face-to-face, man-to-man. We’ve talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I’
ve made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?
想起克里夫蘭球迷對我做出的一切，想起 Gilbert 給我的那封信，讓我有了不想再與
他們一道的情緒。
但我反思，如果我是一個小孩，我看著那個驅策我讓我持續進步的運動員最後離開了，
我會有什麼反應 ？
我曾與 Gibert 面對面談過，發覺我們都錯了。
I’m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re
not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m
realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My
patience will get tested. I know that. I’m going into a situation with a
young team and a new coach. I will be the old head. But I get a thrill out of
bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn’t know
they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I’m excited to lead some of
these talented young guys. I think I can help Kyrie Irving become one of the
best point guards in our league. I think I can help elevate Tristan Thompson
and Dion Waiters. And I can’t wait to reunite with Anderson Varejao, one of
my favorite teammates.
我無法承諾帶給克城一座冠軍，因為我知道奪冠之路有多艱辛。
雖然我很想再下一個賽季就拿到冠軍，但我知道我們尚未準備好，奪冠難度遠勝於 2010 年
，這將會是個艱辛漫長的旅程。
但我知道我會領導這群年輕的隊友，幫助我的對友變的更好。
But this is not about the roster or the organization. I feel my calling here
goes above basketball. I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than
one, and I take that very seriously. My presence can make a difference in
Miami, but I think it can mean more where I’m from. I want kids in Northeast
Ohio, like the hundreds of Akron third-graders I sponsor through my
foundation, to realize that there’s no better place to grow up. Maybe some
of them will come home after college and start a family or open a business.
That would make me smile. Our community, which has struggled so much, needs
all the talent it can get.
我在克城的影響力不僅僅止於籃球運動，我有責任領導。
我的存在對熱火非常重要，但我相信對我的家鄉更重要。
我希望克城的孩子們知道，克里夫蘭是最好的地方。
In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what
you have.
在 Ohio，你所擁有的必是你所爭取來的。
I’m ready to accept the challenge. I’m coming home.
我已經準備好迎接挑戰，我要回家了。
