艾弗森真的要离开了吗?

Allen Iverson is leaving the 76ers again to tend to serious family matters. Is this the end of the road for the longtime fan favorite and one-time bad boy turned family man? Only time will tell.

由于家里有要事需要处理，阿伦艾弗森又将离开76队。作为一直以来球迷们的最爱，他的职业生涯就要就此结束吗？曾经的“坏小子”已经成了爱家的男人了吗？只有时间能告诉我们答案。

The 76ers' All-Star guard （yes, he was an All-Star this season） is leaving the team once again to attend to his family; his daughter Messiah, 4, has been dealing with an undiagnosed illness.

这位76人的全明星后卫（本赛季他也绝对够得上全明星级别）又要离开球队去照顾家人-他患了不明疾病的4岁女儿，弥赛亚。

“At this time, we feel that it is in the best interest of the Sixers, Allen and his family that he be allowed to deal with a very serious issue that is far greater than the game of basketball,” 76ers boss Ed Stefanski said in a statement released by the team.

76人的老板斯特范斯奇在一则球队声明中说，“这种情况下，我们觉得让艾弗森去处理家里要紧的事情是最好的选择，因为（对他来说，）家里的事情要比打篮球重要的多。”

"When Iverson parted ways with Hang Time's Grizzlies after nine games earlier this season, we suggested that he hang up his Reeboks for good, strictly for basketball reasons."

“本赛季，在打了9场比赛就与灰熊队分道扬镳之时，我们就觉得，艾弗森应该把自己的篮球战靴永远挂起来了。”

"Obviously, this is a far more serious issue. But our suggestion remains the same."

“而显然，这次的问题更为严重。不过我们的想法和那次一样。”

As Stefanski said in his statement, there comes a time when something “far greater than the game of basketball” forces you to make choices about what to do in this life.

正如斯特范斯奇在声明中所云，有“比打篮球重要的多的事情”正迫使艾弗森去选择应该怎样做。

Iverson's paid back everything the game of basketball has given him, with interest. Few have entertained and inspired as well as he did at his zenith. Short of a title, he accomplished virtually everything a man could in the game of basketball.

带着激情，艾弗森已经把他的全部奉献给了篮球事业。在他职业生涯巅峰时期，几乎没有人比他打的更精彩，没有人比他更能鼓舞人心。除了总冠军头衔，他实际上已经得到了篮球中的所有荣耀。

So if he leaves us for good now, if this is indeed his final act, he couldn't depart for a more noble cause than to take care of his young daughter and the rest of his family.

如果他此去不返，如果这真的是他的最后表演，那么没有什么比去照顾自己的小女儿以及家人更能成为他离去的理由了。
