考研英语丨阅读精选：科比谈最后一战 Kobe Bryant: Don’t want Jazz to take it easy at all in my final game　科比谈最后一战：望爵士打出水准 方能尽兴告别　导读：科比退役，估计将是2016年世界体坛影响力最大的事件之一，甚至在某种意义上不逊于未来的欧洲杯、奥运会。职业生涯20年，科比的标志性超越了体育明星，成为横跨整个时代的旗帜人物。科比太独特的个性和经历，奠定了自己特别的历史地位，也注定难有后来人继承他的衣钵。　　The next time Lakers icon Kobe Bryant appears on the Staples Center court, it will be for the final game of his NBA career.　当湖人队球员科比·布莱恩特再次站在斯台普斯中心球场的时候，那将是他NBA职业生涯的最后一场比赛。　Has Bryant looked forward to that final game, April 13 against the Utah Jazz, and imagined what it will be like?　科比是否期待4月13日与犹他爵士的比赛?他对此有无设想?　I try not to do it too much, Bryant said Wednesday night, and just make yourself emotional.　科比在周三晚上接受采访时表示，“我会以平常心面对这场比赛，让自己尽情发挥，不留遗憾。”　He added: Just showing up and playing.

He wouldn’t mind that outcome, but he wishes for a different send-off.　科比设想过某种完美的结局吗?对于许多湖人球迷来说，最完美的结局莫过于科比命中绝杀一球。但科比没有那么设想过，但他也希望有一个别开生面的告别方式。　Yeah, win a championship, he said, but that’s not happening, so there you go.
