The magazine profiled Jeff Foster, the unheralded world-class rebounder, not for his ability to grab loose balls, but because he was just as dedicated to the balance sheet. 一位前溜马球员因理财有道而使得他登上了彭博商业周刊。这份周刊介绍了Jeff Foster 这位不为人知的世界级篮板手，并不是因为他抓篮板的功力，而是因为他在资产负债表上 的运筹帷幄。 Unfortunately, Foster isn't the norm. 但很不幸的是，Foster这样并不是常态。 Too many professional basketball players — and all professional athletes — blow through their vast salaries and end up having little financial security to show for their years in the league. 太多的职业篮球员，应该说所有的运动选手，挥霍掉了他们庞大的薪水，最後出现了经济 危机来当作他们曾经是职业球员的证明。 Glenn Robinson III is one young player who doesn't have nearly the room for error that now-broke former-All-Stars had. So even if he doesn't ever earn a big-time contract, he is trying to ensure that he doesn't follow in the footsteps of many who came before him. Glenn Robinson三世是个不像破产的前明星一样有太多犯错空间的年轻球员。因此即使他 还没拿到一份大合约，他已经在为了不踏上许多前辈的後尘做努力。 Robinson III, who signed with the Pacers this summer but will still be battling for job security in the preseason, was featured in a recent CBS report about money management, as reported by Pacers.com. 根据溜马的官网报导，Robinson III这位暑假和溜马签约，却仍得在开季前扞卫自己工作 的球员，出现在最近的CBS关於理财的节目上。 The report, “Going For Broke,” examined the issue and showed a place that's attempting to change the trend of reckless spending among young athletes: Michigan University. While attending Michigan, Pacers newcomer Glenn Robinson III took part in a financial literacy class for aspiring athletes at the Ross School of Business taught by Len Middleton. 这个名为「孤注一掷」的报导探讨并试图改善有关密西根大学的年轻运动员挥霍无度的问 题。当Glenn Robinson三世这位新溜马人在读密西根大学的时候，他上了Len Middleton 在罗斯商学院为了有雄心壮志的运动员的而开的理财课程。 “I was in shock, I almost walked out of the class crying,” joked Robinson, after seeing how much spending money is actually left once taxes and retirement planning is accounted for. “There are some guys in the league that don't even know the PIN to their bank account, they just expect for the people that's handling their money to be able to keep track of that. And they trust them.” 「我太震惊了，几乎是哭着离开教室。」在看到扣税与退休计画占去後剩下实际可花用的 钱後，Robinson开玩笑地说道。「在联盟中的有些人甚至不知道自己银行户头的密码，他 们总是期盼有人能持续不停地替他们管钱，而他们只需要相信这些人。」 The class helped Robinson understand that the influx of money experienced upon entering the league won’t last forever, and has allowed him to exercise more caution when planning for the future. 这堂课使Robinson了解在进入联盟後的收入并不会永远持续下去，并让他在计画未来时更 懂得三思而後行。 When Cowan asked Robinson, “Why don't you think more colleges aren't doing classes like this?”Robinson replied: “That's a great question. I have no idea.” 当Cowan问Robinson：「你觉得为什麽大学不多增加一些这样的课程呢」的时候， Robinson回答：「这是个好问题，我也不知道。」 On the one hand, it's nice to see an NCAA program trying to actually help prepare its “student athletes” for real life. On the other, this is stuff that should be commonplace and should have been mandatory for decades now. 一方面能看到NCAA试着实际帮助学生运动员的现实生活是件很棒的事，而另一方面，这是 一个现在理应要普及并且义务实施的事情。 Nevertheless, Glenn Robinson III got a good lesson. And hopefully between this and watching his dad go through the NBA, he'll keep an eye on his spending and realize that the number on his check isn't a license to live life like Sir Richard Branson or Mikhail Prokhorov. Millions aren't billions, and while that should be obvious, it has taken way too many people making mistakes for the younger generation of players to learn. 无论如何，Glenn Robinson三世学到了一堂课。而希望在这堂课与看了他父亲的NBA经历 後，他会去注意自己的资金流向并且了解他支票上的数字并不是让他能活得像Richard Branson爵士（英国维珍集团的执行长）或是Mikhail Prokhorov（布鲁克林篮网队的老板 ）的保证。好几百万并不等於好几十亿，而尽管这很显而易见，却已经有太多的前车之监 来让年轻世代的球员们引以为戒。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 最近要为了头路开始准备考试了，翻篇短文大家无聊看看～ --
