勒布朗·詹姆斯“橡胶城之魂”

勒布朗·詹姆斯“橡胶城之魂”,适逢勒布朗·詹姆斯庆祝进入联盟十周年之际，耐克篮球奉上一首由诗人Lemon Andersen创作的诗歌——《橡胶城之魂》，以兹纪念。十年前，Andersen写下了《皇帝》，那是一首歌颂詹姆斯开始职业篮球生涯的诗歌。Andersen还应耐克之邀为詹姆斯当面演颂。如今，耐克再次与Andersen合作，向詹姆斯进入联盟十周年致敬，用一首新的诗篇向詹姆斯成长的城市——俄亥俄州的阿克伦城表示敬意。这首诗既是祝贺他获得两届总冠军，同时也对他的未来征途进行了展望。诗歌用具有象征意义一句话收尾：“禀赋乃是上天所赐予，伟大则靠自身去成就。” 《橡胶城之魂》　在那遥远的地方　在那群星之下　在那无月的夜晚　一个孩子诞生在拥有篮球之神的王国　那是一个叫做萨米特的县城　在首都以北　一个被叫做橡胶城的地方　那里由阿克伦人执掌着　这个孩子赢得了　懂得了　劳动人民的喜爱　他看到邻居们在工厂中　艰苦地工作　他看到他们额头的汗水　看到他的同伴们成长　于是他想要征服大山　走出满目荒芜的陡峭原野　那峭壁磨烂了鞋子，冰冷刺骨　重击着他们的脚底　在俄亥俄一个又一个寒冷的冬日　人们一次又一次模糊了意识　他从伊丽莎白公园的黄昏中崛起　在黎明来临之时　他暗下决心　从一个高中运动员　到一个职业球员　那伊利湖上永远难忘的日落　与波光粼粼　在他心底激起狂澜　促他激流勇进　常据高潮　胜券在握　然而他的斗志　依然来自山胡桃木街赐予的坚强　怀揣对这片土地的热爱　他学会了　按照勇士之歌的要义去生存　辉煌就是　冠军奖杯堆满后墙　支持的标语挂满檐廊　怀揣对这片土地的热爱　他冉冉升起　世界瞩目　这个大男孩脱颖而出　冲破万难　阿克伦人的哲学　一直燃烧在他的脑海：　禀赋乃是上天所赐予 伟大则靠自身去成就 《Rubber City Soul》 In a land far away　Under a blanket of the stars　On a moonless night　a child was born in a kingdom　Of basketball gods　In a county they called　the summit　north of the capital　a rubber city　Where the Akronites run it　This child earned　Learned　the labors of his love　From watching his neighbors　Rise above hard work　At the local mills　Watching the sweat of their brow　Seeing his comrades growing up　Trying to conquer the hill　A steep field of wheat　worn from cleats and cold　pounding the bottom of their soles　Against Against tough Ohio winters　and unconditional vertigo　But he rose　from the dusk　of Elizabeth Park　And her projects　till the arrival of the dawn　rose from a high school Phenom　to the pros　never forgetting how　the sun set on Lake Erie　How the rough waters　of the spotlight　can ravage　Flow savagely along　always high tide　Knowing the odds against him　Yet his will to compete　Remained Hickory Street strong　For In all this love for his land　He learned to live　by the code of a warriors Song　and glorious were the　wins stacked　to the back of the wall　banners dropped　from the top of the rafters　For in all this love he rose　While the world stood by
