大衛(wèi)·貝克漢姆的足球生涯

Since 1990, he began to enjoy a glorious1 life. Famous for his passing and free-kick ability, Beckham has twice been runner-up2 for FIFA World Player of the Year, and in 2004 he was named in the FIFA 100 list of the worlds greatest living players. He announced3 his retirement after he played the final game of his 20-year career in 2013.

自1990年起，他開始了輝煌的一生。他高超的傳球和任意球技能獨領(lǐng)風騷，曾兩次被評為“年度世界足球先生”第二名，并在2004年，榮登了國際足聯(lián)評選的“當今世界上最偉大的球員100強”的名單。他在2013年參加了20年足球生涯中的最后一場足球比賽，之后他就宣布了退出球壇。

大衛(wèi)·貝克漢姆的婚姻

On 4 July 1999, David and Victoria married at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland. She then was famously known as “Posh Spice” of the pop music group Spice Girls, one of the worlds top pop groups at the time. Beckhams relationship and marriage to Victoria contributed to his celebrity4 beyond football. Beckham became known as a fashion icon5, and together with Victoria, the couple became spokespeople sought after by clothing designers, fashion magazines, perfume and cosmetics manufacturers, hair stylists and recreation companies.

1999 年7月4日，貝克漢姆與維多利亞在愛爾蘭的路特爾斯頓城堡舉辦了婚禮。維多利亞當時很出名，她是辣妹組合（當時世界上頂尖的流行組合之一）中的“時髦辣妹”。貝克漢姆與維多利亞的戀愛和婚姻使貝克漢姆在綠茵場外也成為萬眾矚目的名人。貝克漢姆成為了時尚偶像，和維多利亞一道成為服裝設計師、時尚雜志、香水和化妝品制造商、發(fā)型師以及娛樂公司等所追捧的對象。

David Beckham as a father:

responsible and wise

大衛(wèi)·貝克漢姆作為父親：既負責又明智

David and Victoria Beckham have four children: three sons— Brooklyn Joseph (born 1999 in London), Romeo James (born 2002 in London), and Cruz David (born 2005 in Madrid); and a daughter Harper Seven (born 2011, in Los Angeles).

大衛(wèi)和維多利亞有四個孩子——三個兒子：布魯克林·貝克漢姆（于1999年出生于倫敦）、羅密歐·貝克漢姆（于2002年出生于倫敦）和克魯茲·貝克漢姆（于2005年出生于馬德里），一個女兒：哈珀·塞文（于2011年出生于洛杉磯）。

In an interview in 2011, Beckham said: “In my career there are many things Ive won, and many things Ive achieved,” he said. “But my greatest achievement6 is my family. What matters is being a good father and a good husband—just being connected to family as much as possible.” And he also said: “Being a dad is more important than football, more important than anything. I adore7 children. I love the fact our children are part of both of us. ”

在2011年對大衛(wèi)的一場采訪中，他說道：“我一生中取得了很多勝利，獲得了許多東西，但是我最大的成就是我的家庭。真正重要的是成為一名好爸爸和好丈夫——盡可能地與家人聯(lián)系在一起。”他還說：“做好爸爸比踢足球更重要，比其他任何事情都重要，我愛孩子們，孩子們是我和維多利亞的一部分?！?/p>

Asked by chat show host Jonathan Ross in 2013 whether he was a house-husband, David replied, “I really am. But I love it. Ive been lucky, Ive always been able to take children to school in the mornings and pick them up and make them dinner and things like that. So I do even more of that.”

2013年在喬納森·羅斯的訪談節(jié)目中，大衛(wèi)被問到是否變?yōu)榧彝ブ髂辛耍卮鸬溃骸按_實是的。但是我喜歡這樣。我很幸運，現(xiàn)在我通常可以早上的時候送孩子們上學，下午接他們放學給他們做晚飯，儲如此類的事情。我其實做的比這還多呢?！?/p>

Recently, news that their 15-year-old son Brooklyn has got a part-time job in a coffee shop in London is a sign that his parents are trying to keep him grounded, despite their mega-stardom. Its refreshing to see, and also brave—because when youre that famous, everyone has an opinion. Indeed, its never easy for children with parents who are famous or millionaires.

最近有新聞報道，他們15歲的兒子布魯克林在倫敦一家咖啡店做兼職，這說明了盡管貝克漢姆夫婦已經(jīng)是大牌明星，他們還是想讓孩子們腳踏實地生活。這一舉動讓人耳目一新，也很勇敢——因為當你成功了，每個人都會對你有這樣或那樣的看法。確實如此，對于父母很出名或者是有百萬富翁父母的孩子來說，這的確不容易。

People think life is so easy for their children, but they only see the cash, not how brilliant they are in their own right. Theres a saying I love: “If you continue to help someone, you render8 them helpless.”Like any parents, they want as normal a life as possible for their children. Its only by letting them get out there, and trying things for themselves, that theyll figure out what makes them happy. And you never know that Brooklyn might turn out to be the best barista in town.

人們認為這些人的孩子一定過得很容易，但是他們僅僅看到了他們擁有的金錢，而沒有看到孩子自身的表現(xiàn)。有句話我很喜歡“如果你一直幫助一個人，這會讓他變得無能。”像天下所有的父母一樣，他們想讓他們的孩子擁有一個再正常不過的生活。只有讓孩子們走出去，親自嘗試一切，他們才會找出讓他們開心的事情。說不定布魯克林會成為小鎮(zhèn)里最好的咖啡調(diào)配師呢。
