Well, welcome to the White House, everybody. Give it up for the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors! Everybody please have a seat. Now, let me begin by saying I was hoping that Riley Curry would be here today -- to share the podium with me, but I guess I'm going to have to get media training some other day. 好的，欢迎大家来到白宫。让我们为NBA总冠军金州勇士队鼓掌！请大家就座。首先，我想说我本来希望莱利·库里今天能来这里——和我一起站在讲台上，但看来我得改天再接受媒体培训了。
The East Room is not as loud as the "Roaracle," but Dub Nation is well represented. We've got some members of my Cabinet and Congress in the house who are big fans, and I don't just mean Harrison Barnes, who apparently they call "The Senator." He's from Iowa, so maybe he's got some politics in his blood. 东厅虽然没有"咆哮神谕"球馆那么喧闹，但"勇迷国度"的代表们已经来了不少。我的内阁和国会里有一些成员都是勇士队的铁杆粉丝，我说的不只是哈里森·巴恩斯——大家显然都叫他"参议员"。他来自艾奥瓦州，所以也许他骨子里就有点政治天赋。
But we've got one of the biggest Golden State Warrior fans around, our Leader in the House of Representatives, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. We've got Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy is here, so this is bipartisan. We have Mayor Schaaf is here. So we're glad you're here to celebrate the best in the Bay. 不过，我们这里还有一位最大牌的金州勇士队球迷——众议院民主党领袖南希·佩洛西。共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡也来了，所以这是两党共同的盛事。沙夫市长也在座。很高兴各位能来这里庆祝湾区最棒的球队。
I also want to recognize Warriors Executive Board member and NBA legend, one of the greatest of all time, the logo, Jerry West. As well as owner Joe Lacob, and General Manager Bob Myers. Give them a big round of applause. 我还要向勇士队执行董事会成员、NBA传奇人物、史上最伟大的球员之一——"LOGO男"杰里·韦斯特致意。同时也要感谢球队老板乔·拉科布和总经理鲍勃·迈尔斯。让我们为他们热烈鼓掌。
Now, it is rare to be in the presence of guys from the greatest team in NBA history. So we're pretty lucky today, because we've got one of those players in the house -- Steve Kerr from the 1995-'96 Chicago Bulls! It's good to see you back. 能和NBA历史上最伟大球队的成员们共处一室是难得的荣幸。今天我们很幸运，因为这里就有一位这样的球员——来自1995-96赛季芝加哥公牛队的史蒂夫·科尔！很高兴见到你回来。
Now, for those of you who don't know, the Warriors started this season without Coach Kerr, who was recovering from back surgery. So Luke Walton stepped up and led the team to a ridiculous 39-4 record. Unfortunately, the NBA won't let Luke count those wins as his own -- which, man, that doesn't seem fair. You defied the cynics. You accomplished big things. You racked up a great record, and you don't get enough credit. I can't imagine how that feels. 对了，可能有些人还不知道，勇士队本赛季开赛时科尔教练因背部手术正在康复，未能执教。于是卢克·沃顿挺身而出，带领球队打出了39胜4负的惊人战绩。不幸的是，NBA不允许卢克把这些胜场算在他自己头上——老兄，这也太不公平了。你顶住了质疑者的声音，你成就了伟大的事业，你带队取得了辉煌的战绩，却没有得到足够的赞誉。我完全能体会那种感受。
Now, let's face it, the Warriors are in the midst of a pretty special two-year run. Folks are saying that they are "revolutionizing" basketball. They are so good that they seem to be just breaking the game itself. And I don't play anymore, but I still know a little bit about basketball, and this really is one of the best that we've ever seen. 说实话，勇士队这两年来的表现相当非凡。人们说他们正在"革命性地改变"篮球运动。他们太强了，强到好像在颠覆这项运动本身。我现在已经不打球了，但对篮球还是略知一二的，这支球队确实是我们见过的最强球队之一。
Great shooting, great passing, a small-ball "nuclear lineup" -- it's almost not fair. And they play not just well, but they play well together. They play as a team the way basketball is supposed to be played. And it's beautiful to watch when they're working on all cylinders. 精准的投篮、精妙的传球，还有小个阵容的"死亡五小"——这简直太不公平了。他们不仅个人能力出色，团队配合也打得非常好。他们像一个真正的团队那样打球，这才是篮球应有的样子。当他们火力全开时，观赏起来真是一种享受。
Now, let's face it, "beautiful" was not how folks described the Warriors for many years. I may be one of the few who are old enough to remember the last time they were good, back in the middle of the '70s, I was -- the last time they won a championship -- I was 10 years old. So the franchise, it had some good teams and some great players, but it had been struggling. One college player forgot that there was even a team in Oakland -- that was Klay Thompson, by the way. 不过说实话，很多年来人们可不会用"赏心悦目"来形容勇士队。我可能是少数几个还记得他们上次辉煌时期的人——那还是在70年代中期，他们上次夺冠的时候——我才10岁。所以这支球队虽然有过一些优秀的队伍和伟大的球员，但一直挣扎不前。有个大学球员甚至忘了奥克兰还有支NBA球队——顺便说一句，那就是克莱·汤普森。
But a few years ago, Joe Lacob took over, pointed to that 1975 championship banner and said, "That's a very lonely flag. We need another one." And last year they got it -- 67 wins, 16 straight at one point. That used to seem like a lot until this year -- where they started off 24-0. Ended last season with their first title in 40 years. 但几年前，乔·拉科布接手了球队，他指着1975年的总冠军旗帜说："那面旗帜太孤单了。我们需要再来一面。"去年他们终于做到了——67胜，还曾取得16连胜。放在以前这已经很厉害了，直到今年他们开局24连胜。上赛季他们以40年来首个总冠军圆满收官。
And obviously, a big part of that was league MVP, Steph Curry. Steph is a pretty good shooter. 显然，这其中很大一部分功劳要归于常规赛MVP斯蒂芬·库里。斯蒂芬的投篮相当了得。
For those of you who watched the game against the Wizards last night, he was -- to use slang -- he was "clowning." He was all jumping up and down. Just settle down. By the way, for the record, I heard during this summer, after our golf game, that Steph was using the excuse of Secret Service being intimidating for why he lost the match. That is not the case. But he will have another opportunity. Obviously, watching Steph play is incredible. And for anybody who enjoys basketball, it is just a lot of fun. 昨晚看了对阵奇才队比赛的人都知道，他——用俚语说——简直是在"耍宝"。他在场上蹦蹦跳跳的。淡定一点嘛。对了，我郑重声明一下，今年夏天我们打完高尔夫之后，我听说斯蒂芬把输球的借口归结为特勤局人员太吓人了。事实并非如此。不过他还会有机会的。显然，看斯蒂芬打球简直不可思议。对于任何喜欢篮球的人来说，这都是一种享受。
But it's not just Steph. There's the other "Splash Brother," Klay, who dropped 37 points in a quarter, and whose jump shot is actually a little prettier. I'm just saying. There were Barnes dunks, Bogut blocks, Draymond Green showing us "heart over height" every single night. Draymond is also known to add a few more words that I cannot repeat. Then you've got a couple of unselfish All-Stars in their own right that were coming off the bench -- Andre Iguodala and David Lee. And a bench that was so good that an opposing coach complained, "they've got two starting lineups." 但不止斯蒂芬一个人。还有另一位"水花兄弟"克莱——他单节砍下过37分，而且他的跳投其实更优美一些。我只是随口说说。还有巴恩斯的扣篮、博古特的封盖、德雷蒙德·格林每晚都在用实际行动诠释"心比身高"。德雷蒙德还以爱说几句我不能重复的话而闻名。然后还有两位本身就是全明星级别、却甘愿打替补的无私球员——安德烈·伊戈达拉和大卫·李。他们的板凳阵容太强了，以至于有位对方教练抱怨说"他们有两套首发阵容"。
In the Finals, Golden State faced Cleveland and a guy named LeBron. Down two games to one, Coach Kerr had the guts to shake up the lineup -- and it worked. Andre came off the bench, played great D, took home the Finals MVP. And it was a perfect example of the kind of team this is -- everybody doing their part, everybody ready to step up at any moment. Unselfish play. Folks looking out for each other. 总决赛中，金州勇士面对的是克利夫兰骑士队和一个叫勒布朗的家伙。在总比分1比2落后时，科尔教练有魄力地调整了首发阵容——而且奏效了。安德烈从替补席站出来，打出了精彩的防守，最终捧起了总决赛MVP奖杯。这完美地体现了这支球队的特质——每个人都做好自己的分内事，每个人都随时准备挺身而出。无私的团队篮球。大家互相扶持。
And it's the same kind of selflessness that the Warriors show in their community, as well. They've led the way for the NBA's commitment to our My Brother's Keeper initiative, promoting mentoring in the Bay Area and nationwide. I know they met with some students in the White House mentor program earlier today. This team is also supporting the city's Oakland Promise effort to help more kids make it through college. 勇士队在社区服务中也展现了同样的无私精神。他们率先响应NBA对我们"兄弟守护者"倡议的承诺，在湾区乃至全国推广导师辅导计划。我知道他们今天早些时候还在白宫导师项目中接见了一些学生。这支球队还支持奥克兰市的"奥克兰承诺"计划，帮助更多孩子顺利读完大学。
You've had players take a stand against gun violence. They've worked with Michelle's Let's Move initiative. They've dressed up as Santa to deliver Christmas presents to those in need. And the first time I met Steph was because he had partnered with the U.N. Foundation to donate three anti-malarial mosquito nets for every three-pointer he makes. So last night, that's 33 nets. So keep shooting, Steph. Not that he needs any encouragement, obviously. 球员们还公开反对枪支暴力。他们参与了米歇尔的"动起来"健康倡议。他们装扮成圣诞老人为需要帮助的人送去圣诞礼物。我第一次见到斯蒂芬，是因为他与联合国基金会合作——他每投进一个三分球就捐赠三顶防疟疾蚊帐。所以昨晚，那就是33顶蚊帐。所以继续投吧，斯蒂芬。当然了，他显然不需要任何鼓励。
The point is, this is a great basketball team, but it's a great organization, it's a great culture. And these are outstanding young men. And some of them I've met before. Steph I've gotten to know a little better. They're just -- they're the kind of people you want representing a city, representing the NBA, and the kind of people that you want our kids to be rooting for. 关键在于，这不仅是一支伟大的篮球队，更是一个伟大的组织、一种伟大的文化。这些年轻人都非常出色。其中有些人我之前就认识。斯蒂芬我了解得更多一些。他们就是——他们就是那种你希望能代表一座城市、代表NBA的人，也是那种你希望孩子们去追捧的榜样。
So they have a lot to be proud of. Good luck for the rest of this season. Maybe you'll break that Bulls record. But as Coach Kerr pointed out, he wins either way. Either way, he's got the record. 所以他们有很多值得骄傲的地方。祝你们本赛季余下的比赛好运。也许你们会打破公牛队的纪录。但正如科尔教练所说，无论怎样他都是赢家。不管结果如何，纪录都在他手里。
So thanks, everybody. Congratulations. 谢谢大家。祝贺你们。
Do you want to say something? 你想说几句吗？
Coach Steve Kerr: Thank you. I'm actually -- I'm a little thirsty. Is that my water or yours? 史蒂夫·科尔教练：谢谢。其实我——我有点渴了。那是我的水还是你的？
President Obama: It is. Go for it. 奥巴马总统：是我的。喝吧。
Coach Steve Kerr: I thought maybe it was yours. I'm guessing it's yours. 史蒂夫·科尔教练：我还以为是你的呢。我猜就是你的。
I want to say thank you. I also want to say congratulations for becoming the first President in our nation's great history to use the term "clowning." So, although maybe Teddy Roosevelt used it somewhere in there, I don't know. But we want to thank you. Our organization is so honored to be here, to meet you, to tour the White House, and to celebrate our championship with you here. 我想表达感谢。我还要祝贺你成为我们国家伟大历史上第一位使用"耍宝"这个词的总统。虽然也许泰迪·罗斯福在什么地方也用过，我不确定。但我们要感谢您。我们的球队非常荣幸能来到这里，与您见面，参观白宫，并在这里与您一起庆祝我们的总冠军。
Our general manager, Bob Myers, who you met earlier, also mentioned to me that you're going to be a free agent at the end of this year. So we don't know if you have anything lined up yet, but -- 我们的总经理鲍勃·迈尔斯——您之前见过的——还跟我说您今年年底就要成为"自由球员"了。所以我们不知道您有没有已经安排好的计划，不过——
President Obama: I'm ready to go. 奥巴马总统：我随时可以上任。
Coach Steve Kerr: You can consider this a symbol of an offer that's coming. We -- We want you -- as soon as your duties are done here in the White House, we'd like you to be the leader of Dub Nation. 史蒂夫·科尔教练：您可以把这当作一份即将到来的邀约的象征。我们——我们希望您——等您在白宫的任期结束后，我们希望您能成为"勇迷国度"的领袖。
President Obama: 44. [Jersey number] 奥巴马总统：44号。（球衣号码）
