For Josh Kushneran elite of billionaire stature, commanding the realm of technology investment, and heir to one of America's most illustrious surnameshis lifelong trajectory epitomizes a masterful reticence; not only has he seldom graced the front pages, but he has scarcely ever ventured into the tumultuous currents of global public discourse, his evasion of the limelight being so consummate as to evoke genuine awe.

对于乔什·库什纳——这位坐拥亿万身家纵横科技投资领域,且承袭美国最显赫姓氏之一精英而言,毕生行迹堪称深藏若虚非但鲜少跃然于头版头条之上,几乎从未涉足全球公共话语喧嚣洪流,其规避聚光灯之彻底委实令人叹为观止

Yet, as summer descends upon this year, the tide has unmistakably turnednowhere more conspicuously than in those quarters where fervent devotion to sport burns brightest.

然而,今岁入夏,情势已然丕变,至少在那些对体育怀有炽烈热忱之地,此般景象尤为昭然。

Kushner, aged 41, together with his partner Bob Iger, the former CEO of Disney, concluded a staggering agreement this week to acquire the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers from Mark Walter at a valuation of $12.5 billiona move that has set a new zenith in the annals of professional sports franchise transactions.

41岁的库什纳与其合伙人前迪士尼首席执行官鲍勃·艾格于本周缔结了一项令人瞠目的协议以125亿美元的估值自马克·沃尔特手中收购了NBA洛杉矶湖人队——此举刷新了职业体育特许经营权交易史上的估值巅峰

For the 41-year-old Kushner, these have been nothing short of a breathtaking fortnight.

对于41岁的库什纳而言,堪称惊心动魄的两周

Earlier, his attempt to acquire a share of future World Cup profits ended in ignominy, a scheme masterminded by FIFA president Gianni Infantino that drew widespread opprobrium.

此前试图收购未来世界杯利润份额的尝试以惨淡收场该计划国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺一手策划饱受诟病

Hot on its heels, he consummated the acquisition of the charismatic Lakers with lightning swiftness.

紧随其后,他又以迅雷不及掩耳之势完成了魅力四射的湖人队的收购

Until this month, few were cognizant that Jared Kushnerson-in-law to President Donald Trump and a long-revered deputy within his administrationhad a younger brother, who presides over a flourishing commercial empire, is wedded to a supermodel, and harbors an impassioned devotion to basketball.

直至本月鲜有人知晓贾里德·库什纳——唐纳德·特朗普总统之婿亦为其政府中长期倚重的副手——尚有一位胞弟坐拥蒸蒸日上的商业帝国超模之妻,以及对篮球的炽热痴迷

Notwithstanding Josh Kushner's deliberate and consistent eschewal of the public eye, coupled with his rare engagement with the media, the resplendent achievements of his venture capital firm, Thrive Capital, in recent years have nonetheless catapulted him into the echelons of industry titans.

尽管乔什·库什纳一贯刻意规避公众视野鲜少接受媒体访谈其麾下风投机构Thrive Capital近年来所取得的斐然成就,却已然将他推至业界巨擘之列。

According to Forbes' estimations, Kushner's personal net worth approximates five billion US dollars.

《福布斯》估算库什纳的个人净资产约达五十亿美元

In this epoch-making investment, Kushner's partner is no stranger to any industry insider, at least not within the Los Angeles landscape, the entertainment sector, or the broader commercial arena.

在这一具有划时代意义的投资中库什纳的合伙人对任何圈内人士而言皆非陌生面孔至少在洛杉矶娱乐产业乃至更广阔的商业版图中如此。

Iger, now seventy-five years old, has twice held the helm of The Walt Disney Company over the past two decades, steering this Hollywood titan into the streaming era, and only bid farewell to that 'House of Mouse' earlier this year.

现年七十五岁的艾格在过去二十年间曾两度执掌华特迪士尼公司之帅印引领这家好莱坞巨擘迈入流媒体纪元,直至今年早些时候方才告别那座“老鼠之家”

Los Angeles remains utterly astounded by this transaction: a mere ten months after Walterthe mastermind currently orchestrating the Dodgers' resurgence to consecutive World Series championshipsofficially assumed control of the Lakers, he has all but divested himself of the franchise, potentially reaping billions in windfall profits, while the two prospective buyers possess neither Walter's pedigree in sports ownership nor an iota of credibility in the hearts of Southern California fans.

洛杉矶依旧这笔交易瞠目结舌沃尔特——这位正执掌道奇队背靠背世界大赛冠军复兴大业的主宰者——正式入主湖人队仅仅十个月之后,他便近乎将球队脱手或可坐拥数十亿美元的暴利两位接盘者既无沃尔特那般体育产业的所有权履历亦未在南加州球迷心中积攒分毫信誉

So, who on earth could it be that has managed to seize control of this storied Los Angeles franchise, which has claimed the NBA championship seventeen times?

那么究竟是何方神圣,竟能一举掌控洛杉矶这支十七度问鼎NBA总冠军的豪门球队?

As the scion of a real estate magnate, Kushner founded Thrive Capital in 2009 and subsequently established the health insurance company Oscar Health in 2012.

作为房地产巨擘之子库什纳于2009年创立了Thrive Capital,并于2012年创办了健康保险公司Oscar Health

Thrive Capital has steadily expanded, buoyed by its early-stage investments in technology enterprises such as OpenAI and SpaceX.

Thrive Capital凭借对OpenAI、SpaceX等科技企业的早期投资而日益壮大

He maintains a close rapport with Sam Altman, the chief executive officer of OpenAI.

OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼交往甚密

According to reports, the initial acquaintance between Kushner and Iger can be traced back to eight years prior, when Iger's wife, Willow Bay, and Kushner's then-girlfriend (who would later become his spouse), Karlie Kloss, served as the intermediaries facilitating their introduction.

据报道库什纳艾格的初次相识可追溯至八年前彼时艾格之妻威洛·贝库什纳当时的女友(日后成为其配偶)卡莉·克劳斯从中牵线搭桥

Initially, the two maintained a salubrious rapport that blended mentorship with camaraderie, and it was not until the eve of Iger's first departure from his role as Disney's chief that this bond evolved into a collaborative business venture.

起初二人维系着一种亦师亦友的良性关系直至艾格首次卸任迪士尼掌门人前夕这段情谊方才演变为商业上的携手合作。

In 2022, Iger joined Thrive Capital as a venture partner, ushering Kushner into a more expansive commercial arena, while Kushner, in turn, imparted the quintessence of the technological domain.

2022年艾格以风险合伙人之姿加盟Thrive Capital将库什纳引荐至更为广袤的商业疆域库什纳倾囊相授科技领域的精粹

Yet Iger's tenure proved fleeting, lasting but a few months before he returned to helm Disney; nonetheless, the bond with Kushner remained unwaveringly robust, and this year the two have once again joined forces in collaborative endeavor.

艾格仅驻留数月便重返迪士尼执掌帅印,然其与库什纳之纽带始终紧密今年二人再度携手共谋

On Wednesday, Iger confirmed to the California Post that he had joined forces with Kushner with the intent of establishing an NBA expansion franchise in Las Vegas;

艾格于周三向《加州邮报》证实他与库什纳联手意在拉斯维加斯组建一支NBA扩张球队

However, upon learning over the past weekend that Walter might be inclined to divest the Lakers, their stratagem underwent a dramatic and abrupt pivot.

然而上周末获悉沃尔特或有意出售湖人队之际,他们的计划骤然发生了戏剧性的转向

"We acted with alacrity, deeming it a sagacious move to bring under our aegis a franchise of such profound value and iconic stature," said Iger.

我们当机立断鉴于该球队所蕴含的深厚价值及其标志性地位将其纳入麾下实乃明智之举,”艾格如是说

"The transaction was consummated within a mere three days.

交易在三日之内便告达成

It was all so exquisitely straightforward."

一切便是如此简洁明了

Egger conceded that the transaction had been so swift that he and Kushner had not yet had the opportunity to devise any long-term strategy for the Lakers.

艾格坦言此笔交易之迅捷,竟令他与库什纳尚未来得及为湖人队擘画任何长远方略

Although Kushner is a newcomer to the Lakers, he has long possessed an incisive understanding of the NBA's inner workings.

库什纳虽为湖人队之新秀然于NBA之运作早已洞若观火

He once held a minority stake in the Memphis Grizzlies, yet he resolutely divested it in order to acquire an interest in the Miami Heat.

曾持有孟菲斯灰熊队之少数股权为入股迈阿密热火队而毅然抛售

He was compelled to divest such holdings before he could consummate the acquisition of the Lakers.

必须剥离此等股份方能完成对湖人队之收购

Furthermore, Kushner and Krauss have frequently been spotted courtside at Knicks games, drawing considerable attention.

此外库什纳克劳斯亦屡屡现身于尼克斯队之比赛现场引人侧目

Eiger is undeniably a seasoned basketball aficionadoaccording to reports, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver introduced him to former NBA journalist Bay three decades agoyet his unconventional background renders his assumption of the Lakers' helm decidedly anomalous.

艾格堪称一位资深的篮球爱好者——据相关报道NBA总裁亚当·萧华在三十年前便将他引荐给了前NBA记者——然而其独特的背景却使他执掌湖人队帅印之举显得颇为异乎寻常

Having harbored a fervent devotion to the Knicks since his formative years, Eiger, upon relocating to Los Angeles, resolutely spurned allegiance to the Lakers, their crosstown archrivalsa stance that elevated him to the ranks of the Clippers' most illustrious devotees, as he not only maintained season tickets year after year but also forged a profound camaraderie with former starting point guard Chris Paul.

自幼便倾心于尼克斯艾格迁居洛杉矶后,毅然决然拒绝拥戴同城劲敌湖人——此举使跻身快船队最负盛名的拥趸之列不仅常年持有季票与前主力控卫克里斯·保罗缔结深厚情谊

On Wednesday, in a Los Angeles steeped in progressive ethos, thousands of Lakers devotees raised their eyebrows in astonishment upon learning the name of the franchise's new principal helmsmanyet the intricacies at play here are far more profound than they might initially appear.

周三在进步主义蔚然成风的洛杉矶成千上万的湖人球迷在获悉球队新任主要掌舵者之名时,无不愕然挑眉然而此中玄机远非表象那般简单

The surname Kushner undeniably ranks among the most politically charged lineages on the planet, yet both Josh Kushner and Klaus have publicly declared that they share not the slightest affinity with the conservative stance currently espoused by their elder brother and their father, Charles Kushner.

库什纳这一姓氏诚然堪称寰宇间最具政治意涵的谱系之一,然乔什·库什纳克劳斯二人皆已公诸于世,明确表示胞兄乃父查尔斯·库什纳当下所秉持之保守主义立场并无丝毫认同

Josh Kushner has repeatedly contributed generously to progressive political candidates, and in an interview he once candidly declared: "Liberal values are the guiding principle of my life."

乔什·库什纳屡次向进步派政治候选人慷慨解囊他曾在一段访谈中坦言:“自由主义价值观是我人生的圭臬。”

Klaus, by contrast, stands as an outspoken standard-bearer for reproductive rights and other progressive causes.

而克劳斯则堪称生育权及其他进步事业直言不讳的旗手

Iger professes to be politically nonpartisan, harboring a personal conviction steeped in progressivism.

艾格自诩为政治上的无党派人士秉持着进步主义的个人信念

In 2017, he briefly sat on Trump's business advisory forum, from which he subsequently resigned with unwavering resolve, steadfast in his adherence to environmental principles.

2017年他曾短暂列席于特朗普的商业顾问论坛其后因恪守环保理念而毅然决然地辞去了该职务
