Father and Son
《父与子》
My Dad was a Greco-Roman wrestler, but I can’t tell you how good he was. Maybe he can tell you, because I’ve never seen him wrestle competitively. Never ever.
我的父亲是一名古典式摔跤运动员，但我却没法和你说我父亲到底有多棒。也许他会告诉你答案，因为我从未见过他参加摔跤比赛，从来没有。
I’ve just seen his scrapbooks and newspaper cuttings, which I found really, really interesting when I was a kid. I loved reading about it all and finding out how successful he was.
当我还是个孩子的时候，我只在剪贴簿和剪报上看到过父亲摔跤时的照片，我对它非常感兴趣。我喜欢阅读它们，去探寻我父亲到底有多么的成功。
He was in the Norwegian national team, he was Norwegian champion in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971, six years on the bounce. He was also competing for Norway in the European Championships and at major tournaments. He never got medals on those biggest stages, but nevertheless he was an absolutely massive inspiration for me.
父亲曾是挪威国家队的一员，他曾于连续六年夺得挪威摔跤冠军。除此之外，他还代表挪威队参加了欧洲锦标赛和一些重要赛事，但他从未在那些顶级舞台上获得奖牌。尽管如此，他给了我很大的启发。
By the time I was born, he’d finished wrestling – thinking about it, maybe I was the reason he finished! – but my mates and I all knew about his career. We grew up in a small city, Kristiansund, where both my dad and Ole Olsen, who’s still coaching today, were first team wrestlers, so of course we heard all the stories. Everyone in the area knew who my dad was.
在我出生的时候，他就退役了。现在想来，也许我才是他选择退役的真正原因。但我和朋友们都知道他的事迹。我们出生在一个叫做克里斯蒂安松的小县城，父亲和如今当教练的奥勒·奥尔森曾是一线摔跤队时的队友，所以我们当然都听过父亲的往事。这一带的人都知道我父亲的大名。
Even though I never saw him wrestle, I always looked up to him. I loved to listen to his stories of how he practiced, how he trained and how he kept fit. He was very professional, very determined. He had some sort of talent as a sportsman, of course, because he was able to make it to that level, but probably his best talent was his mentality.
尽管从未见过父亲摔跤，但我一直都很仰慕他。我喜欢听父亲讲故事，他是如何练习、如何训练以及如何健身。他非常专业，态度坚定。当然，作为一名运动员，他天赋出众，因此他能够达到那样的水平，但他最大的天赋可能是他的心理素质。
My son Noah was born in 2000. He’s 20 now and six foot four – he made his debut against us for Kristiansund in a pre-season friendly last summer – but he’s been going to Old Trafford since he was a tiny kid. In the past when we’d won the Premier League and did our lap of honour around the stadium, I carried him in my arms, so you could say that very early on in his life he was environmentally damaged!
我的儿子诺亚出生于2000年。他现在已经是一名身高6英尺4英寸的20岁小伙了。去年夏天，他在季前友谊赛中表克里斯蒂安对阵曼联，完成首秀。不过，他在襁褓时就曾去过老特拉福德。那时，我们夺得了英超冠军，在绕场一周答谢庆祝时，我就抱着他，所以你可以说，他在幼时，就受到了环境的熏陶！
I injured my knee in August 2003 and I had four or five months out. I came back that season and played in the FA Cup semi-final win over Arsenal and I came on against Millwall in the final, but I knew inside that I wasn’t fit. I knew I needed an operation on my knee which would keep me out for at least a year.
我的膝盖在2003年8月受了伤，有四五个月的时间不能上场。不过那个赛季我选择了复出，参加了足总杯半决赛战胜阿森纳的比赛，在决赛中对阵米尔沃尔时我也上场了，但我知道我的状态不好。我知道我的膝盖需要做手术，这样一来我至少需要离开一年。
The surgeon who performed the operation was from Sweden, and my friend from Kristiansund, who’s also a doctor, was there with me throughout the entire operation so he could see exactly what had happened, what needed to be done and the details of my recovery programme.
进行手术的外科医生来自瑞典，恰巧，我来自克里斯蒂安松的朋友也是一名医生，他在整个手术过程中一直陪伴着我，这样他就可以确切地看到发生了什么，需要做什么，以及我康复计划的细节。
Sir Alex was brilliant with me. He let me go back home to Norway and do my recovery there. He trusted me to do the right things, he knew I would stay in touch with the surgeon and I had my friend there in Kristiansund too, so that meant we could all go home and stay together as a family, which was a huge help for me.
弗格森爵士对我很好。他让我回到挪威的家中，在那里进行康复。他相信我会做正确的事情，他知道我会与外科医生保持联系，我的朋友也在克里斯蒂安松，这意味着我们都可以回家，像一家人一样呆在一起，这对我来说帮助很大。
I’ve always had great support from my family throughout my career. My wife Silje has always gone with me wherever it has taken me. As a professional, you go to work, you do what you’re told, you do whatever you think is right, but you know that when you’re a family you’re together, you support each other and, of course, when you’ve got that kind of long-term injury, it dominates your home life. When you’re a fit footballer, you don’t always bring football home with you, but when you go through that kind of operation and there’s such a long road to recovery, you know that you have to really be doing everything absolutely right every single step of the way. In my case, that meant my rehab took over evenings and nights at home too, but I had great support throughout. When I had a setback in pre-season 2005, about a month before I was due to come back to training, the support was there for me.
在我的整个职业生涯中，我的家人给予了我巨大的支持。无论我去哪，我的妻子希尔杰都一直陪伴着我。作为一名职业球员，得去训练，执行命令，亦或是做任何你认为正确的事情，但你得知道，一旦成家立业，夫妻之间就要相互支持，相濡以沫。当然，当你受到长期伤病困扰时，它决定着你的家庭生活。当你身体健康时，你可以尽情享受家庭的安逸。但当你经历了这样的手术，康复之路又如此漫长，你明白你必须真正地做到每一步都绝对正确。对我来说，这意味着我每天晚上都得在家里进行康复训练，但我自始至终都得到了极大的支持。当我在2005年季前赛遭遇挫折的时候，大概在我回归训练前的一个月里，他们一直鼓励着我。
Throughout it all, it was my family that gave me extra motivation to get back. Like I said, when I first got injured in 2003, Noah was three years old. Obviously you don’t remember your dad when you’re three, so when I decided to have the big operation, Noah was one of the big inspirations, maybe my biggest motivating factor, for me to get back.
在整个过程中，是我的家人给了我特别的动力，让我重返球场。就像我说的，2003年我第一次受伤的时候，诺亚才三岁。很明显，你早就记不得你三岁时父亲的样貌了，所以当我决定做大手术时，诺亚是激励我复出的最大动力之一，或者说是我最大的动力。
I wanted to play at Old Trafford in front of my son. I wanted to be playing so that he could remember his dad as a professional footballer, and obviously I wanted to win so that he could remember me as a winner. Really, that all comes back to the history of me and my dad. I never saw him wrestle, never saw him compete and win, so I wanted Noah to at least remember me out on the pitch, winning.
我想在着我儿子的面，在老特拉福德踢比赛。我想踢球，这样他就能记住他的父亲是一名职业足球运动员，毫无疑问，我想赢，这样他就能记住他爸爸是一个胜利者。真的，这一切与我和我父亲的历史相吻合。我从来没有看过他摔跤时的样子，也从来没有看过他比赛和胜利，所以我想让我儿子诺亚至少记得我在球场上赢过，仅此而已。
That would be going through my head when I was in the gym.
当我在健身房做康复训练的时候，我的脑海中浮现出这样一幅场景。
That was my main focus then: that I needed to do everything right to come back to be able to play for Manchester United. It was a lot of hard work over a long time, and obviously there were setbacks along the way, but I got there in the end.
那是我当时关注的重点：我需要做好一切才能回来为曼联踢球。在很长一段时间里，我付出了许多艰苦的努力，很明显，一路走来也有挫折，但我最终还是成功了。
In December 2005, just after Christmas, I came on at Birmingham. I knew I still had work to do, so over the next four or five months I was playing in the Reserves, working with Rene Meulensteen, just so I could get myself properly fit. Pre-season in 2006 went really well for me and I was back as a proper part of the manager’s squad for 2006/07, which turned out to be a pretty decent season!
2005年12月，圣诞节刚过，我就来到了伯明翰。我知道我还有工作要做，所以在接下来的四五个月里，我和雷内·莫伦斯汀一起在预备队里恢复状态，这样我才能让自己恢复到正常的状态。2006年的季前赛对我来说真的很顺利，我作为2006/07赛季首发阵容中的一员回来了，结果证明这是一个相当不错的赛季！
At Charlton, right at the start of the season, I scored my first goal for United in almost three years, then I scored the winner when we beat Celtic in the Champions League at Old Trafford. Those goals both felt amazing after so long out, but they were both scored at night, so Noah wasn’t there. He was there, though, when I made my first start at Old Trafford against Newcastle.
赛季初，在查尔顿，我为曼联打进了我近三年来的第一个进球，然后在老特拉福德的欧冠比赛中，对阵凯尔特人，我打入了致胜球帮助球队晋级。缺席了如此长的时间，这两粒进球都让人感觉很棒，美中不足的是，这两粒进球都是在晚上打进的，所以诺亚不在那里。当我在老特拉福德第一次首发对阵纽卡斯尔的时候，诺亚出现了。
October 1st, 2006. That was a special day.
2006年10月1日，对我来说，那是一个特别的日子。
Just before half-time, Cristiano Ronaldo cut in from the left, hit a low shot through a crowd of players and it smacked against the far post. The ball rebounded and I was just there to react and tap it in. Then, just after half-time, Nemanja Vidic took a shot which deflected off my shinpad, changed direction and spun into the net at the Stretford End.
就在中场休息前，克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多从左路切入，一脚低射，从防守球员当中穿过，皮球打在了远门柱上反弹了回来，我灵机一动，将球打入。然后，中场休息刚过，维迪奇的一记射门在我身上发生折射，皮球改变了方向，最终攻破了斯查福德的大门。
We won 2-0, I was credited with both of our goals, so when that final whistle went, it felt incredible.
我们以2比0获得了胜利，我包揽了全场的两粒进球，所以当终场哨声响起时，一切就是这么的不可思议。
Walking off the pitch that day was probably one of the proudest moments of my life.
那天，走下球场的那一刻可能是我一生中最自豪的时刻之一。
Heading towards the tunnel, looking over to the Family Stand and seeing Noah looking right at me, clenching both of his fists and grinning. That, right there, was exactly what I’d been working towards for most of the previous three years. All those hours in the gym, all those long nights making sure I did everything I needed to, they all led to that moment. It was all worth it.
当我朝球员通道走去时，看到眼看台上的家人站了起来，诺亚正看着我，紧握着双拳，咧嘴笑着。没错，就是这个，这正是我在过去三年的大部分时间里一直在努力的目标。所有那些在健身房的时间，所有那些漫长的夜晚，为了复出我所付出的一切，这些都是为了这一刻的到来。这一切都是值得的。
I won a lot of trophies with United and had so many great memories, but that day was more personal than any trophy.
我在曼联赢得了很多奖杯，有很多美好的回忆，但那一天对我而言，比任何奖杯都更要重要。
My daughter Karna and my youngest son Elijah are younger than Noah, of course, so they don’t remember their daddy playing, but Noah can vouch for me (I hope!). No need for any scrap books or newspaper clippings, he can just tell them about the time he saw dad scoring the winning goals for United at Old Trafford.
当然，我的女儿卡娜和小儿子以利亚都比诺亚小，所以他们对爸爸的光辉岁月没有印象，但诺亚可以为我担保(我希望如此！)不需要任何剪贴簿或剪报，诺亚只需要告诉他们，他亲眼见证了爸爸在老特拉福德为曼联打进制胜之球的那次，足矣！
