我感謝瓦妮莎和科比一家讓我今天有機會發言。

I'm grateful to Vanessa and the Bryant family for the opportunity to speak today.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

我很感激能在這裡致敬Gigi，並懷念Kobe留給我們所有人的禮物-那些他作為籃球運動員、實業家、講故事的人和身為一位父親所取得的成就。不論在籃球比賽、生活中以及作為父親，科比盡其所能，毫無保留的付出。

I'm grateful to be here to honor Gigi and celebrate the gifts that Kobe gave us all – what he accomplished as a basketball player, as a businessman, and a storyteller and as a father. In the game of basketball, in life, as a parent – Kobe left nothing in the tank. He left it all on the floor.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

科比和我是非常親密的朋友，這也許讓人驚訝。但是我們的確是非常親密的，科比是我親愛的朋友。他就像我的弟弟。每個人一直都想談論比較我倆。而我只想談論柯比。

Maybe it surprised people that Kobe and I were very close friends. But we were very close friends. Kobe was my dear friend. He was like a little brother. Everyone always wanted to talk about the comparisons between he and I. I just wanted to talk about Kobe.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

他曾在11:30、2:30甚至凌晨3點打電話、發短信給我，談論背框動作、步法，有時甚至是三角戰術。起初，這是一種麻煩。爾後變成了某種熱情，這個孩子充滿了有永遠不知道的熱情。熱情是很棒的。如果你愛某個東西，如果你對某個東西有強烈的熱情，那麼你會盡所能去嘗試和理解。

He used to call me, text me, 11:30, 2:30, 3 o'clock in the morning, talking about post-up moves, footwork, and sometimes, the triangle. At first, it was an aggravation. But then it turned into a certain passion. This kid had passion like you would never know. It's an amazing thing about passion. If you love something, if you have a strong passion for something, you would go to the extreme to try to understand or try to get it.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

科比·布萊恩特對我來說，是一個鼓舞人心的人，因為他不是僅在乎我如何打比賽，而是他想要如何打比賽。他想成為他所能成為的最好的籃球運動員。認識他之後，我就想成為我能成為的最好的哥哥。

What Kobe Bryant was to me was the inspiration that someone truly cared about the way either I played the game or the way that he wanted to play the game. He wanted to be the best basketball player that he could be. And as I got to know him, I wanted to be the best big brother that I could be.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

要做到這一點，你必須忍受麻煩，無論是深夜的電話或愚蠢的問題。當我得知科比·布萊恩特正努力成為一個更好的人-一個更好的球員時，我感到非常自豪。我們談論生意問題，談論家庭，談論一切，他就是想成為一個更好的人。

To do that, you have to put up with the aggravation, the late-night calls, or the dumb questions. I took great pride as I got to know Kobe Bryant that he was just trying to be a better person – a better basketball player. We talked about business, we talked about family, we talked about everything. And he was just trying to be a better person.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

現在，我感覺被他耍了，接下來我不得不接受我又要有一個哭泣的梗圖了...

Now, he's got me and I'll have to look at another crying meme for the next ...

★★★★★★★★★★★★

我告訴我的妻子，我不會哭，因為我不想在接下來的三四年中看到自己的梗圖。都是因為科比·布萊恩特。我很確定凡妮莎和他的朋友都會這樣說–他知道如何以一種會影響你，即使他讓你覺得討厭。但你總會喜愛他，因為他可以激發出最棒的你，我便是如此。

I told my wife I wasn't gonna do this cause I didn't want to see that for the next three or four years. That is what Kobe Bryant does to me. I'm pretty sure Vanessa and his friends all can say the same thing – he knows how to get to you in a way that affects you personally, even though he's being a pain in the ass. But you have a sense of love for him and the way that he can bring out the best in you. And he did that for me.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

我們不僅可以談論與籃球相關的一切，也可以談論生活大小事。而且，隨著生活推進，越來越少有朋友可以進行這樣的談話。更別提能和自己的競爭對手相知相伴，共同成長。

We could talk about anything that related to basketball but we could talk about anything that related to life. And we, as we grew up in life, rarely have friends that we can have conversations like that. Well, it's even rarer when you can grow up against adversaries and have conversations like that.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

無論他在哪遇到我，都視我為一個挑戰。而我也欽佩他這樣的熱情，你很少看到一個人每天都在尋找並努力提升自己，不僅在運動方面，而是做為父親與丈夫皆是如此。他的所作所為以及他與Vanessa和孩子們的分享都讓我有所啟發。

No matter where he saw me, it was a challenge. And I admired him because his passion, you rarely see someone who is looking and trying to improve each and every day, not just in sports, but as a parent, as a husband. I am inspired by what he's done, and what he's shared with Vanessa, and what he's shared with his kids.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, Capri，你們會一直在我與我妻子的心裡與禱告中。我們會永遠在你們身邊，永遠。我還想向所有在這場巨大的悲劇中受難家庭提出慰問和支持。

To Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, Capri, my wife and I will keep you close in our hearts and our prayers. We will always be here for you. Always. I also want to offer our condolences and support to all the families affected by this enormous tragedy.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

科比做任何事都全力以赴。繼籃球之後，他展現了我們所不知道的他所擁有的創造力。在退休時，他似乎很高興，因為他發現了新的熱情所在。並且他也繼續以社區教練的身份回饋社會。更重要的是，他是一位了不起的父親，一位了不起的丈夫，他將自己奉獻給家人，並全心全意地愛著女兒們。他就是這樣毫無保留，我想這就是他要我們做的。

Kobe gave every last ounce of himself to whatever he was doing, After basketball, he showed a creative side to himself that I didn't think any of us knew he had. In retirement, he seemed so happy. He found new passions. And he continued to give back, as a coach, in his community. More importantly, he was an amazing dad, amazing husband, who dedicated himself to his family and who loved his daughters with all his heart. Kobe never left anything on the court. And I think that's what he would want for us to do.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

沒有人知道我們有多少時間。這就是為什麼我們必須活在當下，我們必須享受當下，我們必須盡可能將精力與時間與家人、朋友和摯愛之人分享。活在當下意味著享受與我們能觸及的每一件事。

No one knows how much time we have. That's why we must live in the moment, we must enjoy the moment, we must reach and see and spend as much time as we can with our families and friends and the people that we absolutely love. To live in the moment means to enjoy each and every one that we come in contact with.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

科比·布萊恩特（Kobe Bryant）死後，我的一部分也死了。我目光所及的這個會場與這個世界，你們中的一部分也死了，否則你不會在這裡。這些是我們必須與之共處的回憶，也是我們應當從中學習的。

When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died. And as I look in this arena and across the globe, a piece of you died, or else you wouldn't be here. Those are the memories that we have to live with and we learn from.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

我向你保證，從今天開始，我會銘記著我有一個弟弟，並儘我所能盡力提供幫助。

I promise you from this day forward, I will live with the memories of knowing that I had a little brother and I tried to help in every way I could.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

我的弟弟，安息吧

Please, rest in peace little brother.

令人無法接受的中國種族歧視

要動身前往中國浙江教英語的時候，我預料會遇到許多出人意表的事。但讓我最感驚訝的，是旅遊指南沒有告訴我的：種族歧視。

在課堂上，我請學生告訴我，他們來自哪一個城市。輪到一位膚色略黑的小男孩時，同學們認為大喊「非洲」簡直太好笑了。另一位跟他外表相似的女孩，則遇到全班同學學猴子叫的嘲笑；其他人還拒絕坐在她旁邊，說她有臭味。在教「wife」這個英文單字的時候，我犯了一個錯誤：我拿出一張蜜雪兒·歐巴馬的照片給學生看。他們看到當時的美國第一夫人照片，全班立刻發出誇張噁心的聲音：「好醜！」「好黑！」

這樣的評語，假如發生在二十五年前的英國教室，老師一定會嚴詞譴責學生，更遑論今日。然而我的抗議只令全班同學面面相覷，困惑不已——他們不知道老師為什麼感到失望，也不知道自己錯在哪裡，所以有點喪氣。這樣的種族歧視遠遠不限於課堂。對許多中國人來說，種族的等級制度不是過時、讓人深痛惡絕的觀念，而是不必質疑的信念。

在英國，保守黨的國會黨鞭使用現代人不再使用的片語「木頭堆裡的黑鬼」（nigger in the woodpile，指的是目前看不到的問題、隱患），馬上被首相開除（黨鞭職位）。在中國，公共辯論受到種族歧視影響，被視為正常。幾個月前，天津的政治人物潘慶林對記者宣稱，他已找到如何「解決廣東非洲黑人群居問題」的辦法。他警告：這些新來者會帶來毒品、傳染病、性侵害。他敦促廣東當局加強管理，以免中國「從黃種人基因國家變成黑黃混血的國家」。

中國人對他們的種族歧視根本不以為意，因為已經屢見不鮮，講起來幾乎興高采烈。一齣洗衣精的廣告，顯示一名黑人男子搭訕一名中國女性，她把他推到洗衣機裡，直到他變成淺膚色的亞洲人為止。這個廣告在電視播了好幾個月，直到一個英文網站看到後被報導出來，引起大譁才停播。該公司「俏比」最後道了歉——但被道歉的人都不是它的顧客。對中國人來說，黑皮膚就像髒衣服，比喻合理。

中國的種族歧視，部份的遠因是淺膚色與財富的連結：一個幾近普世的虛構概念，在一個被好幾種膚色較淺北方民族統治幾個世紀的國家，它似乎特別真確。

中國的歷史亦是一部以孤立主義自豪的歷史：長久以來，它一直將外人摒拒在外。中國自認是亞洲最先進的國家，就像希臘人認為他們的鄰國都是野蠻人一樣，中國人瞧不起四鄰。二十世紀初期，中國人非常不甘願地承認西方科技優越，隨之而來的是觀念上的小改變，中國人不再認為外國人都是劣等人，但例外的只有西方人。

中國種族歧視的起源，是認為所有西方人都是白種人。根據我一位喀麥隆黑人同事的說法，中國人傾向認為：「所有的黑人都來自非洲，所有的非洲人都有愛滋病。」

至於黑膚色的英國人，那是匪夷所思的。相形之下，中國人就是漢族，反之亦然：（共產）黨不僅以中國漢族的合法政府自居，亦認為自己是全世界漢族的合法政府。 2015 年，香港的漢人書商，因為販售反政府書籍而遭逮捕。其中一人是英國公民，另一人是瑞典公民，但他們的外國護照起不了任何作用，在中國政府的眼裡，他們流著中國的血液，所以得不到英／瑞領事館的幫助。該名瑞典公民，可能在威逼之下，在電視上宣布：「我真的覺得：我仍然是中國人。」

另一方面，非漢族的中國人則被認為是一種矛盾，以此類推，中國人把同樣的邏輯推到其他國家公民的身上。我讓學生看我當學生時的照片，以為他們大概會說我的頭髮很難看，未料到他們的反應是：「為什麼英格蘭有黑人女孩子？」

中國政府說：中國是「一個統一的多民族國家」。非也，對一名英國觀光客來說，中國人看起來驚人地單一：漢民族佔人口的 92%，但是，走在任何城市的任何街道上，你都會好奇其他的 8% 藏在哪裡。答案是：他們藏在中國最貧窮省份的少數民族地區。非中國後裔的中國公民極為罕見：外國人也很難取得中國公民權，所以大部份人一但工作簽證到期，都不得不離開中國。中國的非漢居民都是少數民族，他們的膚色幾乎都是比他們的漢人鄰居來得深。

中國的少數民族，不是被當成國安威脅、就是被當成可以展現奇風異俗的人。過去的半個世紀，中國經濟發展棄少數民族於不顧，大部份的人在田裡工作，少數人找到表演工作，跳舞給漢人觀光客看。一項研究顯示，漢人與少數民族人均收入的差距，從 1988 年到 1995 年中國經濟開始大量擴展時，就已經拉開了 17 個百分點。中國的貧窮率，在過去四十年減少了 92%，令人感到吃驚，但是一天只靠 1.5 美元過活的人口中，有一半住在少數民族區域。

即使發展真的來臨，也往往被認為是中央的強迫漢化。譬如說，中國政府想要確保圖伯特兒童都能講流利的北京話，結果造成推廣當地語言的人都被逮捕。中國對待少數民族的方法，既殘忍又自相矛盾：大部份的漢族中國人不認為少數民族是自己的同胞，卻認為北京有權統治他們。

我在中國教書一年的經驗，讓我無法對中國能陪養出啟蒙的下一代有任何希望，但有些跡象顯示，也許事情開始有轉變，比方說，很多青少年非常崇拜非裔美人籃球明星柯比·布萊恩（Kobe Bryant）——宿舍牆上貼滿了他的照片。

如果中國希望有一天能取代美國成為世界上人人景仰的國家，它必須先解決它的種族問題。這個議題在中國國內助長動亂，在海外破壞它的名譽。習近平講「中國夢」——我們只希望中國出口的是寬容，而非種族歧視。

Kobe Bryant's 20th and final NBA season came to a close on Wednesday night. He finished it exactly as he spent most of it: remorselessly and gleefully gunning.

And everybody loved it, because it was perfect. It couldn't have been more perfect.

In his last game as a professional basketball player, Bryant fully embraced the Viking funeral that began when he announced on Nov. 29, 2015, that this would be his last ride. With Los Angeles Lakers fans, NBA legends, former teammates, Hollywood royalty, his wife and his children watching his every move, Kobe entertained us all one more time with a performance that seemed, even as it was unfolding, like the stuff of fiction.

Shaquille O'Neal wasn't kidding. He really did call for 50 during an "Inside the NBA" chat last month. Back then, Kobe said no. On Wednesday, he changed his mind.

He scored 60 points — the highest-scoring game in the NBA this season, topping Anthony Davis' 59; the sixth 60-point game of his career, second-most all-time behind fellow Laker great Wilt Chamberlain; and the most points ever by a player in his final NBA game (joining, of all people, Jordan Crawford and Eddie House!). He did so on 50 field-goal attempts, the most by any player in any one game dating back to the 1983-84 season, to lead the Lakers to a thrilling and unbelievable 101-96 win over the visiting Utah Jazz.

In yet another season full of losing that saw the Lakers finish with a franchise-worst 17-65 record, Kobe found a way to go out a winner ... and to go out a winner in the most precisely, 10-out-of-10 Kobe way humanly possible.

Kobe becomes one of just four players in NBA history to take 50 shots in a game, joining Wilt, Elgin Baylor and Rick Barry. In going 6 for 21 from 3-point land, he becomes just the sixth player ever to cast off from beyond the arc more than 20 times in a game, alongside record-holder J.R. Smith (naturally), Damon Stoudamire, Vince Carter, George McCloud and Michael Adams.

The run-up to Kobe's 1,556th and final NBA game featured loads of pomp and circumstance, from all manner of "thanks for the memories" swag for the fans to diamond-studded golden retirement rings for Bryant and his wife, Vanessa. Before the opening tip, the Lakers unveiled their contribution to the season-long series of tribute videos lauding the career of the 18-time All-Star, 15-time All-NBA selection, five-time NBA champion and 2007-08 Most Valuable Player:
