郑爽再次发声-

These articles are supposed to start with a good story, right? Something funny, maybe. I remember English class. Gotta start with a bang and all that.

（通常来说）这种文章应该以一个好故事开始，对吧？也许有什么有趣的事情。我记得英语课（上是这么说的）。必须从一声巨响开始。

Well, I’m afraid we’ve got a little problem here.

好吧，恐怕我们这里遇到了一个小问题。

When I think back on joining Arsenal, I don’t have the same stories as the other lads. I’ve seen players saying, “Oh yeah, Wenger rang me up.” Or talking about fans showing up outside their house singing their names.

当我回想起加入阿森纳时，我并没有和其他小伙子一样的故事。我见过之前的球员们会说：“哦，是的，温格给我打电话了。”或者谈论出现在他们家门外的粉丝唱着他们的名字。

But my story? Honestly? When the news came out, the only thing I can remember is the entire world telling me that I was absolute sh*t.

但我的故事呢？要开诚布公地说？（那就是）当消息传出时，我唯一记得的是整个世界都告诉我我绝对就是依托答辩。

It all started out so good, too. I had been called up by England for their pre-training camp before the Euros. It felt amazing to be a part of the build-up that summer. While I was there, my agent told me that Arsenal had “shown some interest” in me. In football nowadays, you never know what that means. I tried not to get too excited.

一切的开始也是如此美好。我被英格兰队征召参加欧洲杯前的训练营。那年夏天成为球队的一部分让我感觉很棒。当我在那里时，我的经纪人告诉我阿森纳对我“表现出了一些兴趣”。在当今的足球界，你永远不知道这意味着什么。我努力让自己不要太兴奋。

I said, “Interest. What’s that mean?”

He said, “I don’t know. There’s interest.”

“So they want to sign me?”

“Maybe. Maybe not. There’s interest.”

我说：“对我‘有兴趣’，那是什么意思？”

他说：“我不知道。 他们对你‘有兴趣’。”

“所以他们想签我？”

“可能会。可能不会。他们对你‘有兴趣’。”

So the next day, I ran into Bukayo Saka getting a coffee, and I didn’t know him that well yet, so I thought, “Surely I can’t ask him, right?”

所以第二天，我在喝咖啡时遇到了萨卡，我当时和他还不熟，所以我想，“我当然不能直接问他，对吧？”

I mean, what am I supposed to say?

我在想，我应该怎么（向萨卡）说？

“Morning, Bukayo. How you getting on? Erm. Would you happen to know if your football club is interested in me?”

“早上好，布卡约。 你过得怎么样？ 嗯，你或许大概可能知道你的俱乐部是否对我感兴趣吗？”

Ridiculous.

简直荒谬。

So yeah, that’s exactly what I did.

但我当时真的就这么问的。

He told me that it was real, and that the manager had actually rang him to ask about my character and what I was like as a person. I guess Bukayo must have told him that I was a decent lad, because I got a call from my agent a few days later that the transfer was happening.

他告诉我这是真的，教练实际上打电话给他询问我的性格以及我的为人。我想萨卡一定告诉阿特塔我是一个正派的小伙子，因为几天后我接到经纪人的电话，说转会正在进行。

Unreal. Arsenal Football Club. One of the best days of my life. My mates are all texting me. You legend. You legend. Family is over the moon. How can it get any better?

这不可能是真的。阿森纳足球俱乐部。我一生中最美好的日子之一。我的朋友们都给我发短信。你就是传奇。你就是传奇。家人欣喜若狂。不会有比这再好的了。

Then I come back from training, and I go to pick up my phone, and it’s hot. Like, really hot. And I see about 100 notifications. That little bird. Ping, ping, ping. I’m like, “What’s happening?” Instagram. Ping, ping, ping. I’m used to maybe 15 or 20 notifications a day back then. (And three are from my mum.) Ping, ping, ping. I go to my Twitter, and I see that the news has leaked, and I am getting absolutely roasted.

然后我训练回来，我去拿起手机，发现手机很热。“炙手可热”（错误用法）。我看到大约100条通知。那只小鸟（指推特）。 滴，滴，滴。 我想，“发生了什么事？” Instagram。 滴，滴，滴。过去我可能每天只收到 15 或 20 条通知。（其中三条还是来自我妈。）滴，滴，滴。我打开推特，发现转会消息已经泄露，而我彻底被“烤熟了”（指被群嘲）。
