Kyle Korver tries to inspire graduates with story about being traded for a
copy machine
Kyle Korver藉由一樁交易去換一台影印機的故事來啟發畢業生
You may have heard this story before, but if not, here's a reminder: Kyle
Korver was once part of a trade involving a copy machine.
或許大家以前聽過這個故事，若沒有，簡單說是這樣: Kyle Korver曾經在一樁交易裡，裡
面包括了一台影印機。
The sharpshooting, 16-year NBA veteran gave a commencement speech Saturday at
his alma mater, Creighton University, and he used the story as some
motivation for the graduating class.
這位NBA打滾了16年的神射手老將在星期天的時候，在他的母校Creighton University的畢
業典禮演講，他講了一個故事去激勵這一屆的畢業生。
"The 51st pick, to the New Jersey Nets," Korver began, recounting the day he
was drafted in 2003. "I found out shortly afterwards that I had been traded
to Philly. I'm not sure if traded is the right word.
「第51順位，紐澤西籃網，」Korver在一次講到2003年選秀時的狀況。「我很快就知道我
被交易到76人，只是我不確定"交易"這兩個字是不是正確的用詞。」
"I was more or less sold for an undisclosed amount of money. I later found
out (the Nets) used that money to pay for the entry fee for their summer
league team, and with the leftover money, they bought a copy machine."
「我是被以不知道價碼的價格賣掉的，之後我才知道籃網用那筆錢來付他們的夏季聯盟隊
伍的入場費，然後剩下的錢他們拿去買了一台影印機。」
No, Korver wasn't joking.
Korver不是在開玩笑。
"But it's OK," he continued. "Because a couple of years ago, that copy
machine broke. And I'm still playing."
「但那很OK，』Korver繼續說。「因為幾年前，那台影印機壞掉了，但是我現在還在打
球。」
Korver was met with applause from the crowd, and with good reason. He has
played for five NBA teams in his career and has earned roughly $80 million
from contracts. He was selected an All-Star in 2015, has played in the NBA
Finals twice and will go down as one of the best shooters in league history
(he's fourth on the all-time three-pointers made list with 2,351).
Korver得到滿場的掌聲。他生涯為五支NBA隊伍打過球，生涯薪水總計約8000萬鎂，2015年
被選進全明星，打過兩次NBA總冠賽，也確定將來會成為聯盟史上最佳射手之一(目前三分
球進球數是2351個，聯盟史上排名第四)。
