LBJ也在跑步
HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS –
Kobe Bryant isn’t the only NBA superstar getting his work done on the anti-gravity treadmill this summer.
Kobe在這個夏天，不是唯一一位在反重力跑步機訓練的NBA超級巨星
In a classic nod to his U.S. Men’s National Team teammate and NBA rival, Miami Heat star LeBron James showed off his anti-gravity track speed via Instagram, same as Kobe did earlier this week.
作為對U.S.國家代表隊與NBA競爭對手的致意，邁阿密熱火隊超級巨星LBJ藉由Instagram發佈了自己在反重力跑步機訓練的視頻，而Kobe在這週稍早也做了一樣的事。
●單字片語●
in a nod to something or someone - 對那件事或那個人給予肯定！
rival - n.對手
show off - 炫耀。（這片語還滿口語的，老外很愛吹噓，當你聽得不耐煩的時候就可以對他說：show off）
If this is LeBron’s way of showing Kobe some comedic love on his 35th birthday, I dig it.
如果這是LBJ在Kobe35的生日時，對Kobe愛情喜劇般的示愛方式，我喜歡！
●單字片語●
I dig it - 我喜歡
I’m taking this as a sign of respect from LeBron to one of the few players in the game who is truly on his level and not a dig at Kobe’s recovery from Achilles surgery. (And the argument could be made that LeBron is still trying to reach Kobe’s level since the Los Angeles Lakers’ star is a five-time champion, 11-time All-NBA First Teamer, nine-time All-Defensive First Teamer and 15-time All-Star.)
我把這個動作當做是LBJ對少數在聯盟裡能與他有相同等級球員的尊敬，而不是為了挖苦受到阿基里斯腱撕裂傷害的Kobe。(而我的論點是這樣的，LBJ仍在嘗試到達KOBE的成就，因為KOBE拿下5冠、11次NBA年度第1隊，9次防守第1隊，跟15次全明星)
●單字片語●
dig at - 挖苦、諷刺
A true competitor wants Kobe back and healthy as soon as humanly possible. The best want to beat the best. And LeBron might be the four-time MVP, the reigning two-time regular season and Finals MVP and NBA champ, too. But he knows Kobe is still ahead of on the career titles list by a hat trick.
一位真正的競爭對手想要Kobe趕快回來，以"人類"的復原速度康復...XD。最強者想要幹掉最強者。LBJ也許已經有4次MVP，2次常規賽與Final MVP跟總冠軍。但他知道Kobe的成就還是超過他的（三連霸）
●單字片語●
humanly - adv.以人的方式
reign - v.統治 (這邊是指包辦了兩個賽季的常規、季後跟Final MVP與冠軍)
hat trick - 帽子戲法，原本是指雜耍三頂帽子，但後來引伸到運動時，用來比喻為"連續三次得到什麼"
So poking the Mamba is surely his way of acknowledging the fact that he knows Kobe is coming back with a vengeance. Well played LeBron. Well played sir.
所以說，藉由引起曼巴注意的方式，來告訴Kobe，他(LBJ)知道Kobe會回來報仇的！幹得好，LBJ！
●單字片語●
poke - v.戳。當你在facebook戳人的時候，就是希望能引起他的注意
acknowledge - v.承認、注意到
vengeance - n.報仇 (有看斯巴達克斯的應該對這個字不陌生)
revenge - v.報仇
心得：跑步影片裡LBJ戴的氧氣面罩讓我想到蝙蝠俠前傳3-黑暗騎士崛起裡的氧氣罩男！
