Kyrie Irving turned heads when he wore an exclusive colorway of his signature Kyrie 3 sneaker, one adorned with a rose on the side to honor his mother, Elizabeth, who died when he was 4 years old.
凯里·欧文在他标志性的Kyrie 3运动鞋上穿了一种独特的颜色,在鞋子的侧面他头上戴着玫瑰,以此来纪念他的母亲,伊丽莎白,在凯里·欧文只有四岁的时候她就去世了。
However, the personal touch was nothing new for Irving, who has kept his mother's memory close to his heart — and on his feet — with each model of his Nike sneakers.
然而,于欧文来说,这个人的痕迹并不新奇,对于他的内心来说母亲总是在他的记忆深处—在他的脚上—在他每一双耐克鞋的模型上。
There's some constants here for Kyrie.
对于凯里来说有一些东西是不变的。
Each of Irving's sneakers features a callout to his mother's name on the shoe, along with a "JBY" inscription, an ode to the phrase of encouragement she'd often tell Kyrie.
每一双欧文的鞋子都有一个特点就是以他的母亲的名字命名,并伴有“JBY”题词,一句她经常用来鼓励欧文的赞词。
"Just Be You" is the motto I live by every single day, because I'm happy to be an individual. I celebrate it, I think that everyone should celebrate their individuality. In our culture today, everyone is always wanting to put the other person down for trying something different, or trying something new. As for me, I want it to be celebrated. It's a beautiful thing."
“做你自己”是我每天活着的座右铭,因为我乐意做自己。我为此感到很庆幸,我认为每个人都应该为他们的个性庆幸。在我们今天的文化中,大家总是想要放下其他人为了能够去尝试不同的事情,或者是尝试新鲜的事情。就我而言,我想要去庆祝它,这是很有趣的事情。”
Hungry and humble is something my dad gave me as a kid, that I most likely will give to my daughter, whether she plays sports or not, It's always staying hungry for more and never being satisfied. Acknowledging the present moment, what you've accomplished, and then thinking about what's up ahead and how you'll prepare yourself for that."
“当我还是一个孩子的时候我的父亲教会我渴望和谦卑,我尽可能交给我女儿,无论她是否成为运动员,都应该保持渴望和永不满足。承认此时此刻,你已经完成的事情,然后思考未来会发生什么,你将如何为之做好准备。”
