杜兰特 想在35岁退役 没想好退役后做什么

"This game, your craft, you have to continue studying it," said Durant. "No matter how much you enjoy it, nobody wants to be in school that long. I know I don't. At some point, you have to be ready to graduate. Thirty-five, that's just a number in my mind."

“从事篮球这项运动，你仍然要继续打磨自己的技术，”杜兰特说，“不论你多么享受比赛，都没有人想一直学下去。反正我不想。到了某个时刻，你要做好毕业的准备。我认为，我会在35岁退役。”

Durant explained why he's not chasing the mark.

杜兰特解释为什么纪录并不重要。

"Because it's not about [the record]," Durant said. "I can leave the game knowing I did everything I wanted to do, my way, on my terms. That's how I want to leave the game. And if I happen to have all these accolades and these accomplishments, then that's cool. If not, I'm still cool.

“这和纪录无关，”杜兰特说，“当我觉得用我的方式，我的方法，完成了我想做的事情，我就会离开。这就是我要离开的方式。如果我碰巧完成了一些目标，那会很好。如果没有，那也没事。”

"So I don't think that's going to define me as a player. It's a cool accomplishment to be up there with the greats and to be considered someone who can potentially chase that, or beat that, but I'm not playing for that."

所以我不觉得记录会定义我是一名怎样的球员，和伟大的球员相提并论是很酷的容易，被认为有潜力追上或超过前辈，这很酷，但我不是为了这些而打球的。

"I don't know. I don't know what I'm going to do," he said. "That's the beauty. I'd hate to say, 'Man, I don't want to do this, do that' when I'm done playing. I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to still be in love with the game and want to be around it every day. Who knows? I might want to be a coach or a GM or an owner or somebody that works guys out or somebody that's trying to tell basketball stories like Kobe (Bryant). Who knows?

“我不知道，”杜兰特说，“但未知才有了美感。我不知道我到时候对篮球还有多少热爱，还愿不愿意每天和篮球打交道。谁知道呢？我可能想做教练或者经理，或者去当训练师，也可能像科比一样去讲述一些篮球的故事。谁知道呢？”

"I feel like I have options. I'm young, I'm still learning life and about basketball. I have a whole life ahead of me that I'm excited about, and I thank basketball for opening up so many doors for me."

“我觉得我有很多选择。我还年轻，还在学习。我对以后的生活很激动，我感激篮球提供给了我这么多的选择。”
