http://www.nba.com/kings/features/fatherly_figure_jackson_08.html Every player on a team serves a particular purpose. There are the quiet ones, content with letting their play on the court speak for themselves. There are also the colorful players, who lighten a locker room with their sense of humor and bright outlook. And then there are the father figures – those who embrace offering teammates their vast wisdom and guidance. 每位球员在队上都有一个特别的角色。有很安静的，有在上场对自己说话的，也有很多 采多姿的，用自己的幽默感和亮眼的外表照亮休息室。也有像父亲的，提供队友他们的 智慧和指导。 No one on the Sacramento Kings plays that role better than crowd favorite Bobby Jackson. And it's no surprise the father of four, with a fifth child due in February, is committed to fulfilling that position in his second go-round with the Kings. 国王中没有一个人扮演那角色比受观众爱戴的Bobby来得好。没有意外身为四个孩子的 爸爸，在二月将会有第五个小孩。 Jackson’s paternal tendencies can be traced to his affinity and devotion to his ever-expanding family. He understands the importance of being a father to his children, Breann (age 14), Kendrick (age 12), Sarah (age 7) and Skyy (age 4). Growing up in Salisbury, North Carolina, the veteran guard spent his youth without his own father around. His mother, Sarah, raised him and his sister, Barbara Ann, as a single parent. Bobby像父亲的样子要追溯於他的吸引力和对他家庭的贡献。他了解作为他孩子父亲的重 要性，Breann, Kendrick, Sarah and Skyy。 在Salisbury长大。这名老将在年轻时 父亲就不在他身边。他的母亲，Sarah，一个人扶养他和他姊妹。 “Once I saw what she went through,” Jackson said sitting in the Kings practice facility. “I couldn’t let my kids grow up in that type of situation or environment. I wanted the best for them.” 「一旦我看到他所经历的」Bobby坐在体育馆说「我不会让我的小孩在那样子的情况或环 境成长，我要给他们最好的」 Working as a hotel manager and house cleaner, Jackson’s mother juggled two jobs during his childhood. Seeing his mother’s struggles taught Jackson the resolve he applies to his parenting and leadership. 当过旅馆管理和清洁工，Bobby的母亲在他童年时兼两份差。他母亲很努力地教Bobby， 而他也应用到自己身上。 “I think my mom made me a better parent because I watched how she fought as an individual in charge of a single-parent family,” Jackson said of his mother, who passed away from breast cancer in 2003. 「我认为我妈让我变成一个好父母，因为我看到她如何一个人奋斗」Bobby在说他母亲 ，03年因乳癌逝世 His first venture into parenthood began at an early age. At 21, Jackson’s first daughter, Breann, was born. And two years later, his only son, Kendrick, came into the world. Like his basketball game, his parenting abilities have come a long way since then. 他很年轻就当父亲了。在21岁，Bobby的第一个女儿, Breann出生了。两年後，唯一的儿 子, Kendrick也来到这世上。就像他的篮球比赛，他带後辈的能力很早就展现了。 “Everything changes with each new addition,” Jackson said reflectively. “ Every kid’s personality is totally special, so you have to treat each one differently.” 「在每个新阶段每件事都改变了」Bobby说「每个小孩个性都很特殊，所以你必须不同 地对待每个人」 Similar to NBA players who make the jump to the League after one year in college, Jackson was forced to mature at a young age when he became a father. And part of that maturation process was learning valuable lessons in setting priorities. 就像NBA球员在大学一年後就跳到联盟中，Bobby在年轻时就被迫成熟，当他成为一位 父亲。而在那个阶段学到很有价值的一课，就是「优先顺序」 “I had to be a father, first, before I could hang with my friends,” Jackson said. 「我是个父亲，在我要和我朋友出去鬼混之前」 Over the span of his 12-year career, Jackson has understood the purpose of setting priorities as both a basketball player and a dad. However, maintaining a balance between the two is something Jackson admits is still difficult. 在他12年的职业生涯，Bobby已经了解做为篮球员和一位父亲有优先顺序的目的。然而 ，要维持彼此间平衡，Bobby坦承仍然是个困难。 “It’s very hard,” Jackson said with a sympathetic sigh. “You have to make it your job to be a father because there are days when you can drift from your kids because you’re tired.” 「这非常难」Bobby叹了一口气「你必须完成父亲这工作尤其是在因为累了而想离开孩子 时」。 Though Jackson separates his family life and professional career, the 2003 Sixth Man of the Year understands how his fatherly personality links the two. 虽然Bobby因为工作必须和家庭分开，03年的最佳第六人了解如何将两者连结起来。 “I feel I’m pretty good with helping young guys because I’ve done a lot and seen a lot,” Jackson said. “And also because I didn’t have a mentor when I was growing up.” 「我感觉我满会帮助年轻人，因为我已经做过很多和看了很多」Bobby说「而且因为我 在成长阶段没有一位导师」 The Kings youth has benefitted from the crafty veteran’s experience. Rookies like Bobby Brown have welcomed and appreciated advice from the Kings fan favorite. 国王的年轻球员已经从这位沙场老将的经验中得到好处。像菜鸟Brown很欢迎和感激这位 万人迷的建议。 “He lets me ask him anything,” Brown said humbly. “Even if I think it might be a dumb question, he tells me to ask anyway. He’s just helping me become better on the floor.” 「他让我问任何事」Brown很谦虚地说「甚至就算我认为这是个笨问题，他还是告诉我「 问吧！」他帮助我在场上变得更好」 No other player has benefitted from Jackson’s guidance more than Kings resident superstar, Kevin Martin. The efficient-scoring guard spent his first season in the League learning the ropes from the wise veteran. 没有其他球员能够比KM从Bobby身上获得更多好处。已经很会得分的後卫在他第一个 球季从聪明的老将身上学习到很多东西。 “He’s a great person to learn from,” Martin said respectfully of Jackson. “He taught me the value of working hard and how to carry myself as a pro.” 「他是个很棒的学习对象」KM很尊敬地在谈Bobby「他教我努力的价值和如果让自己变得 专业」 Brown and Martin are just two examples of how Jackson’s paternal role has overlapped into his basketball career. He’s helped numerous players along the way through his leadership and vocal personality. But Jackson still knows he has a great deal of hoops insight to impart on this young Kings team. Brown和KM只是两个Bobby如何将担任父亲角色融入篮球生涯的两个例子。他已经利用他 自己的领袖身分和个人特质帮助过许多球员 “These young guys have seen what I’ve been through,” Jackson said confidently. “They’ve seen the ups and the downs. They’ve seen the battles. And who better to learn from than a 12-year guy who’s won everywhere he’s been?” 「这些年轻人已经看过我怎麽走过来」Bobby很有信心地说「他们已经看过高潮和低潮。 他们已经看过战争。那还有谁能比从一位12年身经百战的老将学习来得更好呢」。 Throughout his career, Jackson has proved to be one of the most reliable bench producers of his generation. However, it's his paternal impact in the locker room and his home that has earned him well-deserved admiration and respect from teammates, fans and family. 纵观他的生涯，Bobby已经证明他是位最可靠的板凳暴徒。然而，这是他身为父亲在休息 室和他的家庭的影响。已经从队友、球迷和家庭完全获得钦佩和尊重。 ----------------------------------------------------- 妈的，好长...不过看完就更爱Bobby了，他实在是太帅了 --
