If Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant showed up at the gym for a workout, who would leave first? If neither leave, how would they survive in the gym, and for how long?
如果乔丹和科比在同一个球馆里训练，谁会是第一个离开的人？万一哥俩都不愿离开，这会持续多久呢？他们会怎样度过在球馆的时光呢？After watching Jay Williams talk about Kobe's insane work ethic and the line about "I see how hard you work, so I gotta push myself to work harder than you", it got me thinking about if Jordan and Kobe has showed up in the gym.
在看了杰伊·威廉姆斯谈论科比疯狂般的职业态度以及工作原则，即“我知道你有多么努力，所以我必须督促我自己比你更加刻苦”，这让我想到如果科比和乔丹同时现身球馆，那将会是怎样的情景。Kobe would see Jordan working out and have to work harder, but then Jordan would see Kobe and work harder than Kobe. Eventually this would lead to a never-ending workout sesh.
科比将会看到乔丹的训练，所以他不得不更加刻苦，乔丹当然也会看到科比的训练，然后变本加厉的超过他。最终会演变成一个永无止境的训练比赛。
However, at some point one of them would have to leave. Or would they? Maybe the only way for one to leave is to kill the other?
当然啦，在某些情况下它俩会有一人不得不走。那会怎样呢？或许唯一的方式就是练到另外一个人筋疲力尽。A sort of 2 men enter, 1 man leaves scenario. I'd think they could agree to both leave at the same time but we all know they'd go "alright on 3...1...2...3! YOU DIDN'T GO!!!"
有这样一个情景，两个极度刻苦的男人进入同一球馆，有一个要离开。我想他们应该会同意一起同时离开，但我们都知道他们要走了，“数到3就走，1，2，3！你怎么不走！！！”So what do you guys think? Who leaves first? And how? Maybe in a bodybag? It's up to you to figure it out.
你们说呢？谁会是第一个离开的？怎样离开？或许在装尸袋里？那取决于你怎样做了。MJ would leave first. Kobe arrives first just to show MJ he's working harder to be better than MJ but people forget that MJ's competitive side seems to be much different than Kobe's.
MJ首先离开。科比首先抵达球馆只是让MJ见识到他正努力超越他，但似乎人们忘了乔丹竞争欲的表现形式与科比是完完全全不同的。
I think Kobe felt like he needed to prove how good he was and MJ knew he was the best and just always wanted to be in a possession to hold it over you.
我想，科比觉得他需要证明他有多优秀，而MJ明白他是最棒的，并且总是想要处于统治你的地位。So MJ would probably see Kobe in there early and feel like he's already won. Now if MJ goes in the gym and works for 4 hours or something then that gives Kobe time to study his moves and also feel like MJ works that hard to be that good.
因此，乔丹可能会遇见早到的科比，但仍然胜券在握。MJ会在球馆里训练4个小时或别的什么，那样就给了科比时间去学习他的步伐，也会明白乔丹努力训练达到那样完美的地步。The best thing for MJ to do is do like 2-3 layups then walk off the court. Now Kobe has no idea wtf it is MJ does to be that good.
乔丹最好就是上几个篮就开溜。这样科比就不会明白了这该死的怎么那么逆天？！！！What is it with people trying to make it out that Kobe was somehow insecure? Shaq had told stories about how Kobe said he'd win 5-6 chips and be the best right from the start.
你们怎么能绞尽脑汁的想象科比处于劣势呢？“大鲨鱼”奥尼尔早就告诉过你们科比是怎样说他将会获得5到6个总冠军，并且一开始就致力于成为最棒的那个。Kobe had supreme confidence and used to be accused of being arrogant even. Dude worked hard because he knew what he wanted and he knew how he'd obtain it.
科比拥有无与伦比的自信，却常常被控诉于孤傲之星。这家伙那么玩命，因为他知道他想要什么以及怎样去获得。The hard work and competitiveness manifests as supreme confidence. It's literally the same story as MJ.
勤奋、充满竞争欲都显示了为我独尊的自信。这不就是和MJ如出一辙嘛。更多精彩内容请关注微信公众号、新浪微博：篮球英文堂
