[外絮] Mark Cuban 針對NBA暫停賽事訪問翻譯

很欣賞Mark Cuban的風格(包含咆哮),所以把昨天的賽後訪問翻譯。

一開頭就很幽默(獨行俠總冠軍!)

除了佛心關心時薪員工外,還偷偷順便幫自己新書打廣告

Cuban: Okay, so we won the last game of the season, so we're officially
champs, so I'll take your questions now.
庫班：嗯，我們贏得本季最後一場比賽，所以我們正式成為冠軍了！因此我現在開放各位提問。

Reporter: How concerned are you about this whole situation?
記者：你對現在整個情況有多麼關切？

Cuban: Well, obviously, very concerned, but it's not necessarily about
basketball. Obviously this is much bigger than basketball. I'm concerned
about, you know, will my kids have school or not. I'm concerned, you know,
are we all doing the right thing because this is obviously new territory;
this is certainly a black swan event in my experiences. And… and so, you
know, basketball actually become secondary, but in terms of basketball, you
know, as I said earlier, nobody at the Dallas Mavericks is an expert on
infectious diseases or their spread, and so this is not a situation where youfake it till you make it or try to sound or act important. The NBA has hired
people with expertise in those areas and they're working with people from thegovernment and other expert areas of …other people with expertise, and so we
have to defer to them and that's exactly what we'll do. And, you know, if theNBA, you know, effectively, if one player, two players, whatever it is,
already have it, you know we'll have to act accordingly and I think the NBA
made the right decision.
庫班：當然非常關切，但是這不完全是因為籃球。這很明顯已超出球賽。我很關心我的小孩是否停課。我很關心我們是否有正確的措施，因為這是一個完全不一樣的狀況，就我經驗來看這是一種黑天鵝事件（極為罕見但卻引響甚鉅）。因此，球賽現在已經是次要的事情，而就球賽而言，就像我稍早所說的，達拉斯獨行俠隊上沒有任何一位傳染病或傳染途徑方面專家，因此這不是我們可以「假裝直到成功」的時候，也不是喊喊口號、做做樣子就可以的時候。NBA聯盟已經聘用相關領域專業人士，並且與政府官員及其他領域專家合作，因此我們應該要照他們建議行事。如果NBA裡面真的有一兩個球員，不管幾個球員被感染，我們就要因應狀況行事，我認為NBA聯盟做出正確的決定。

Reporter: There's a Board of Governors meeting today. Obviously, you know,
before all the info about Utah was… was out there. But as reported, you
know, some… some owners, you know, most of the owners were in favor of
playing games without fans. Some of them were interested in completely
postponing the season. Where did you fall on that issue?
記者：今天已經召開理事會。很明顯地，在爵士隊消息傳出之前，有些球隊老闆…大部分球隊老闆都贊成關門比賽，而有些老闆希望全面延後球季。這件事情你本來是站在哪一派立場？

Cuban: I fall just… just in the exact place that I told you. I don't have
the expertise at all and I'm not in a position, you know… When it's
something this critical, when people's health and the safety and… of our
fans and customers is at stake. I didn't have an opinion, you know, and I told… We… we said that effectively we'll go with what the NBA says because, you
know, I'm smart enough to know what I don't know. And I'll defer to those whodo.
庫班：我的立場…我的立場就是我剛剛跟大家說的。我完全沒有醫療專業，我的角色也不是…在這麼關鍵、這麼危及球迷及客戶健康的時候，我沒有什麼個人立場，我說…我們真
的會按照NBA的說法行事，因為我很聰明，知道我什麼方面不懂。我會遵照那些專家的說法行事。

Reporter: Mark, this evening on ESPN, you mentioned something about your
concern for some of the employees, the part-time people that work here. Couldyou reiterate that here?
記者：Mark，今晚你在ESPN採訪時提到你對於員工的關心，就是那些來打工的員工。你可以在此說得更清楚些嗎？

Cuban: Yeah, um… you know, when… when talking to… when… when some of the
things were coming up that we might not play games, and this was yesterday, Ireached out to the folks at the arena and our folks at the Mavs to find out,
you know, what it would cost to support… financially support people who
aren't gonna be able to come to work. You know, they get paid by the hour and… and this was their source of income. And so we'll do some things there. We
may ask them to go do some volunteer work in exchange, but you know, we've
already started the process of having a program in place. And I don't have
any details to give but it's certainly something that's important to me.
庫班：沒錯，當可能要暫時停賽的消息傳來時，這是昨天的事情了，我聯絡球場負責的人，還有我們球隊的負責人士，請他們計算一下，在財務上協助這些無法來工作的人，要花多少錢。他們按時支薪，而且這是他們的收入來源。所以我們會有些措施，我們可能請他們參與改從事一些志工服務，我們已經開始籌畫相關方案。我現在還沒辦法把細節跟大家說，但這對我絕對是很重要的一件事。

Reporter: This has all transpired so rapidly. What are your feelings now?
記者：這次狀況來得這麼快，你現在的心情如何？

Cuban: I mean, when I heard Michael Finley saw the announcement, and I was
just stunned. I mean, it was just like… You know, I have this saying, “Life
is half random.” And this is the random side where you… You know, it takes
twists and turns, and this is something out of a movie, and you just don't
expect it to happen in real life. But that's the randomness of… of… of the
world we live in, and so it's stunning. But we are where we are, and we have
to be smart in how we respond. We, again as I just said, you… this is
people's lives at stake. This isn't about basketball; this isn't about the
Mavericks; this isn't about, you know, when do we start or do we start or howdo we start. This is …this is a pandemic, a global pandemic where people's
lives are at stake and, you know, I'm a lot more worried about my kids and mymom, who's 82 years old, you know, and talking to her and telling her to stayin the house than I am about when we play our next game. The… Look, we have
a lot of flexibility. I don't want to speak for Adam or the NBA, but in termsof the NBA basketball side of this, we have a lot of flexibility because
there's nothing that happens after June 12th, when we typically end our
season. So, you know, it's more important for us to get it right.

庫班：我的意思是，當我聽說Michael Finley看到最新消息宣布時，我傻眼了。我的意思是，這就像是…有個諺語說「人生泰半是偶然」（註1），而這就是所謂的偶然面，充滿
了崎嶇轉折，這就像是電影情節一樣，你根本不會想到會在現實生活中出現。但那就是我們所處世界的偶然，這麼令人傻眼。但狀況就是如此，我們因應疫情時要更有智慧。真的，就像我說的，這可是危及大眾健康的事情。這不是籃球的問題，這不是獨行俠的問題，這不是何時復賽、復不復賽、如何復賽的問題。這是…這是傳染病，一種全球性傳染病，可能危害大眾性命，相較於何時復賽，我更擔心我的孩子和我那82歲的媽媽，我叫他待在家裡別亂跑。聽著，我們有很多的空間可運用。我不是要代替Adam Silver （現任NBA總裁）或聯盟發言，但就聯盟賽事而言，我們還有很多空間可以彈性運用，因為平常在6月12日結束賽季後，就沒有任何事做了。因此，對我們而言，把事情做正確比較重要。

Reporter: Did you have any concerns about playing in a packed house night?
記者：你會擔心在今晚全場爆滿狀態下比賽嗎？

Cuban: No, I didn’t… I didn’t, really. I was actually shocked we had so
many people. To be honest, I was half expecting there to be half, to be
half-full. The good news is that you could tell by the screaming and yelling
it was a very young audience, and so that… that probably makes a lot of
sense. But no, I didn't have any reason to believe that anybody was… put
anybody else at risk. And we tried, you know, last week we tried to be
proactive; you saw we handed out all the Purells to everybody. So, you know,
that's not going to stop everything but at least we can try to, you know,
take a little bit of action to try to minimize where we could.
庫班：不會，我真的不會。我很驚訝我們有這麼多球迷來看球。說真的，我原本有點希望只坐半滿。好消息是，你可以從尖叫吶喊聲中得知，這些球迷都非常年輕，因此就比較說得通了。但是，我還是沒有理由相信任何人是…讓任何人暴露於風險中。我們上禮拜很努力積極防疫，你可以看到我們把乾洗手凝露（註2）發給每一個人。這雖然沒辦法完全阻擋病毒，但至少我們可以試著在我們能力範圍內採取一些行動來降低衝擊。

註2：Purell是乾洗手凝露的領導品牌。

Cuban: Anybody else? Alright, thanks everybody, bye.
庫班：還有嗎？好的，謝謝大家，掰！

(Mark Cuban stood up for JJ Barea to take the questions, and then he sat downto add one statement.)
（庫班起身準備換JJ Barea接受採訪，又坐下來說了一段話。）

Cuban: Well, let me say one other thing, because I know it’ll come up, and
JJ, you can feel free. In terms of what we told the players, we told them to
be very vigilant that this is not a situation where their season has ended.
Go do what you're going to do. You… you know, we expect you to stay in
Dallas and the NBA told us that we'll continue to practice and do rehab and
continue to do work. And I was very specific, as was Coach to say who you
talked to is very important. You know, if… bringing people in from out of
town because you have downtime, no. That's not gonna work that you have to beaccountable to the people you're dealing with and who you know for your own
personal safety and obviously for everybody else's. So this is not a
vacation. This is effectively self-quarantine in everybody because we again…
It's our responsibility to be vigilant and the players are in a unique
position because wherever they are people want to come up to them. And we hadtold them we thought we were going on the road to only eat in the hotel, not
to go out, to eat, and only use room service. And we kind of reiterated that
same thing after the game that you have to be very very vigilant and very
careful because you are at risk and you know if you have family here whether
it's your children or your… your grandmother, you don't want to put them at
risk. So be very very careful and vigilant.
庫班：對了，還有一件事情，因為我知道這會被提出來討論。JJ，你放輕鬆別緊張。關於我們跟球員說了什麼，我們告訴他們要保持非常警覺，現在不是球季已經結束的狀況。該做什麼就做什麼。我們要你們待在達拉斯，而NBA聯盟告訴我們要繼續練球及復建，持續做該做的事情。跟球員說交談對象很重要時，我態度很明確，教練也是。如果你覺得因為現在是休息放鬆的時間，所以可以帶來自外地的人進來，不准！這行不通，基於你自己的個人安全，當然還有每個人的安全，你要對你會接觸到的、還有你認識的人負責。所以，這不是休假，這實際上是每個人的自我隔離，因為我們又…保持警覺是我們的職責，因為球員是處在一種很特別的地位，因為不論他們走到哪裡，人們都會湊上來。我們跟他們說，我們就像是在客場一樣，只在旅館內用餐，不去外面吃飯，只使用到房送餐服務。我們在賽後重申，你們一定要非常非常小心，因為大家都可能冒著被傳染的風險，如果你在這有家人、小孩、或者是奶奶，你不會想讓他們冒著被傳染的風險。所以，一定要非常非常小心保持警覺。
