After a year of devastation, News of Tiger Woods car accident felt like another example of the relentlessness of life.

在經歷了一年的摧殘之後，老虎伍茲車禍的新聞讓人覺得又是一個生命無情的例子。

There were the appropriate well wishes and concerned for his well being.

有適當的祝福，關心他的安危。

But this also felt, as it always does, with Tiger a little different.

但這也讓人感覺到，和以往一樣，虎子有些不同。

Tiger Woods is the most scrutinized athlete over the last half century in his politics, over the last four years, in his personal life and in his marriage, on the course against his peers and against history, and also in his racial identity and his responsibilities to it.

泰格-伍茲是過去半個世紀以來最受關注的運動員，在他的政治上，在過去的四年裡，在他的個人生活和婚姻中，在球場上與同齡人對抗，與歷史對抗，也在他的種族身份和他對歷史的責任上。

But beyond the details of what happened, coverage of Tiger has also felt a bit tawdry, a bit untoward, as if there's a certain glee in watching heroes fall that there's a resentment toward him for disappointing us for just being human.

但除了事情的細節外，對老虎的報道也讓人覺得有點俗氣，有點不倫不類，好像看著英雄倒下有種樂此不疲的感覺，對他讓我們失望，因為他只是一個人。

After all, What I do know is if there's ever been a time when a person has earned the right to hell, it is Tiger Woods right now, for despite all of the sudden death and do or die cliches, Tiger Woods literally stood between life and death, and that deserves our respect.

畢竟，我所知道的是，如果說有什麼時候一個人贏得了下地獄的權利，那麼現在就是泰格-伍茲，因為儘管有那麼多猝死和非做即死的陳詞濫調，但泰格-伍茲真的站在了生與死之間，這值得我們尊敬。

I guess I've got one question for Kevin Mather, former CEO of the Mariners.

我想我有一個問題要問凱文-馬瑟，前水手隊的CEO。

You know someone's always listening right matter basically blacked out his get fired bingo card when speaking on a zoom to a Rotary Club breakfast where he criticized two players, are speaking poor English and flatly admitted to manipulating the players service time by keeping him in the minors to start the 2021 season, allowing the team to retain his rights for a longer period of time.

你知道有人總是在聽正確的事情基本上黑掉了他的get fired賓果卡，當他在一個變焦的扶輪社早餐會上發言時，他責備了兩名球員，正在說糟糕的英語，並明確承認操縱球員的服務時間，讓他在2021年賽季開始的小球員，讓球隊保留他的權利更長的時間。

It was an impressive piece of self sabotage, and he resigned one day after word of his speech hit the media.

這是一次令人印象深刻的自我破壞，他的講話消息在媒體上傳出一天後就辭職了。

It's 2021 guys.

現在是2021年，夥計們。

Somebody's probably recording, and if they want to start, they'll start.

可能有人在錄音，如果他們想開始，他們就會開始。

Once you start doing something, they can't believe it's happening and they ain't keeping it in their personal archives.

一旦你開始做某件事情，他們就會不相信它的發生，他們不會把它保存在他們的個人檔案裡。

They're gonna tell everybody as soon as they can.

他們會盡快告訴大家的。

But mother got comfortable to say the quiet part out loud.

但母親很舒服地把安靜的部分說出來。

He's probably not the only executive who would get fired if they made their innermost thoughts public.

他可能不是唯一一個把內心想法公之於眾就會被解僱的高管。

But the simple dummy test we allow even the most terrible people to pass is being smart enough to keep that stuff to themselves.

但我們允許最可怕的人也能通過的簡單的假人測試就是足夠聰明，把那些東西留給自己。

Kevin Mother failed that test is the dummy of the week and not even those who agree with him with stand up to defend him.

凱文媽媽沒有通過這個測試是本週的啞巴，甚至那些同意他的人都沒有站出來為他辯護。

On Wednesday, Steelers president Art Rooney the second, released a manicured statement indicating he would like Ben Roethlisberger back in black and yellow next season.

週三，鋼人隊總裁阿特-魯尼第二，發表了一份修飾性的聲明，表示他希望本-羅斯伯格下賽季能重新穿上黑黃相間的衣服。

But don't sleep on the caveat that followed, which said the next step is to work on Ben's contract situation.

但不要睡在後面的告誡上，告誡說下一步是要解決本的合同情況。

That is a Heinz field sized Asterix on this relationship, like someone asking if the person you're with is your special someone and you saying For now, signs point to Pittsburgh being lukewarm on Big Ben.

這對這段關係來說是個亨氏球場大小的小行星，就像有人問你身邊的人是否是你的特別對象，而你卻說目前，種種跡象表明匹茲堡對大本的態度冷淡。

Besides him having the most expensive cap it in the NFL and there being a lot of quarterbacks out there, consider this.

除了他有NFL最貴的上限它和有很多四分衛，考慮這個。

It took nearly two months for the Rooney Roethlisberger meeting to even happen.

魯尼-羅斯伯格的會面甚至花了近兩個月的時間。

That is not an endorsement.

這不是認可。

That's an endorsed Mitt.

這是一個認可的米特。

Ben, who turns 39 on Tuesday, has never been what you'd call Mobile.

本週二就39歲了，他從來都不是你所說的摩拜。

But is he flexible because saying you don't care about your pay is one thing.

但他是否靈活，因為說你不在乎你的工資是一回事。

Agreeing to what is actually proposed is quite another.

同意實際提出的內容是另一回事。

And if the two sides can't find a mutually beneficial way to avoid that crushing cap hit the Steelers are better off investing in the next guy.

而如果雙方不能找到一個互惠互利的方式來避免那粉碎性的上限打擊，鋼人隊最好投資下一個人。

Now the NFL is still a quarterback driven league, and old guys have shown us very recently they can still lead their team to the Lombardi.

現在NFL仍然是一個四分衛驅動的聯盟，而老傢伙們最近已經向我們展示了他們仍然可以帶領球隊獲得隆巴迪。

I don't think the Steelers can repeat that history with Big Ben, but he's there.

我不認為鋼人隊能在大本身上重演這樣的歷史，但他在那裡。

Special someone for now.

暫時有一個特別的人。

February 2nd, 1949.

1949年2月2日

Ben Hogan was driving home to Fort Worth with his wife, Valerie, from the Phoenix Open in dense fog.

本-霍根與妻子瓦萊麗在濃霧中從鳳凰城公開賽開車回沃斯堡。

When it became clear that a Greyhound bus was going to slam into their Cadillac head on on a narrow bridge, Ben threw himself across the front seat to shield Valerie from the impact.

當很明顯，一輛灰狗巴士要在一座狹窄的橋上迎面撞上他們的凱迪拉克時，本從前排座位上跨過去，為瓦萊麗遮擋衝擊。

In the process, he probably saved both their lives.

在這個過程中，他可能救了他們兩個人的命。

If he'd stayed upright, he would have been impaled by the steering column.

如果他保持直立，他就會被轉向柱刺穿。

Still, his body was shattered.

不過，他的身體還是被打碎了。

Broken bones, bruised organs.

骨頭斷了，器官傷了。

Valerie was mostly unscathed, but Ben would spend 59 days in a local hospital.

瓦萊麗基本無恙，但本將在當地醫院度過59天。

He was 36 years old and the best golfer in the world.

他當時36歲，是世界上最好的高爾夫球手。

The year before, he'd won both the PGA Championship and the U.

前一年，他已經贏得了PGA錦標賽和U。

S Open.

It would take nearly a year for Hogan to return to competition.

霍根需要近一年的時間才能重返賽場。

It still seems impossible, but after the crash, he would win six more majors.

這似乎還是不可能的，但在車禍之後，他還會贏得6個大滿貫。

At this point, we simply don't know what the future holds for Tiger Woods.

在這一點上，我們根本不知道老虎伍茲的未來會怎樣。

Whether he can make a full recovery.

He's nearly a decade older than Hogan was at the time of his crash.

他比霍根失事時大了近十年。

Right now, the focus must be on simply walking again.

現在，必須把重點放在簡單的再次行走上。

But at some point knowing that Tiger Woods has always judged himself against the all time greats.

Let us all hope that Tiger can eventually get to a place where he can start thinking.

讓我們都希望老虎最終能到一個可以開始思考的地方。

If Hogan could do it, so can I.

如果霍根能做到，我也可以。
