Shiyazh Pete's time with the Dallas Cowboys was brief, but his NFL debut gave his Navajo compatriots an unforgettable moment.

Shiyazh Pete在达拉斯牛仔队的时间很短暂,但他的NFL首秀让纳瓦霍同胞有了一个难忘的时刻。

When the rookie offensive lineman took the field in a preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals in August, thousands of fans who had traveled from all across the Navajo Nation erupted in cheers, waving tribal flags and shouting "yéego," an affirmation that roughly means "to do something with great effort."

当这位新秀进攻锋线球员在8月对阵亚利桑那红雀队的季前赛中登场时,数千名从纳瓦霍族各地赶来的球迷爆发出欢呼声,挥舞着部落旗帜,高喊“yéego”,这个肯定词大致意为“以极大的努力去做”。

Pete was on the field for only six plays, but when he returned to the sideline, the entire crowd rose to its feet in applause—a powerful show of support for the first Navajo to sign with an NFL team.

Pete只参与了六档进攻,但当他回到边线时,全场观众起立鼓掌——这是对首位与NFL球队签约的纳瓦霍族成员的有力支持。

After being released by the Cowboys, Pete is now a free agent and has returned to his Navajo homeland; while he searches for his next NFL opportunity, he remains deeply grateful for the fans' support.

在被牛仔队裁掉之后,Pete如今身为一名自由球员,已重返纳瓦霍族家乡;在寻觅下一个NFL机会的同时,他始终对球迷的支持心怀感激。
