http://tinyurl.com/3cjlsp Ready to flex my new muscles at Reading While the three English clubs and AC Milan fight for the European Cup, I am hoping to have a big match of my own. As you will have heard, I am close to returning for Newcastle United after ten months recovering from a knee injury. The comeback might be away to Reading on Monday. (这周将有三个英超球队在为了欧洲冠军盃而战，而我(Owen)也将迎来对我来说非常 重要的一场比赛。如同你可能有听说的，在睽违了10个月之後，我已经接近要回来 Newcastle了。而这场比赛将可能是星期一对Reading。) People always ask of any player who has been out for a long time whether he will come back the same. My response is to say that I expect to be fitter and stronger. (人们总是在怀疑当一个球员在缺席很久之後，是否还能回到当初的水准。 我的回覆是：我认为我会比过去状态更好，更强壮。) Assisted by some excellent people around me at Newcastle, I have used the rehabilitation period to strengthen all sorts of areas — and not just the injured knee. (除了膝盖的伤外，欧文还加强了其他地方的强度。) I’ve certainly put on some extra muscle and the signs have been good on the pitch. I felt great in a practice game against Gretna and not just when I stuck one in from 20-odd yards. (欧文在养伤的这段期间也加强的他肌肉的强度，并且在对阵Gretna友谊赛的时候他 感觉好极了。) I was sharp and, but for a minor issue with my groin, I might have come back to the first team already. It has been a long road back but I have stayed optimistic throughout. (现在欧文感到自己状态很好很锐利敏捷，要不是腹股沟的问题他早就回来了。 这是一条很漫长回归的路，但他始终保持着乐观。) You always look for the positives and, after quite a relentless programme since I was 17, the break has given me a new drive to succeed. (自从他17岁开始踢英超之後，这次的长时间修养给了欧文一个很好的机会重新回到 巅峰。) I am fresh and hungry to resume my career at Newcastle. --
