Though Shiyazh Pete's tenure with the Dallas Cowboys proved fleeting, his NFL debut nonetheless forged an indelible moment for his Navajo compatriots.

Shiyazh Pete在达拉斯牛仔队的效力时光虽转瞬即逝,然而其NFL首秀却为纳瓦霍同胞铸就了一个镌刻于心的时刻。

When the rookie offensive lineman took the field in an August preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, thousands of fans who had flocked from every corner of the Navajo Nation erupted in deafening cheers, waving tribal flags and shouting "yéego" — an affirmation roughly meaning "to do something with great effort."

当这位新秀进攻锋线球员于8月对阵亚利桑那红雀队的季前赛中披挂上阵时,数千名自纳瓦霍族各地纷至沓来的球迷爆发出震耳欲聋的欢呼声,挥舞着部落旗帜,高喊“yéego”——这一肯定词大致意为“以极大的努力去做”。

Pete participated in a mere six offensive snaps, yet as he retreated to the sideline, the entire stadium responded with a standing ovation—a resounding show of support for the first Navajo ever to sign with an NFL team.

Pete仅参与了六档进攻,然而当他退回边线之际,全场观众却报以起立鼓掌——此乃对首位与NFL球队签约的纳瓦霍族成员所给予的鼎力支持。

Having been waived by the Cowboys, Pete now finds himself a free agent and has returned to his Navajo homeland; while he searches for his next NFL opportunity, he remains ever grateful for the steadfast support of the fans.

在被牛仔队裁撤之后,Pete如今身为自由球员,已重返纳瓦霍族故里;在寻觅下一个NFL机遇的同时,他始终感念球迷的鼎力支持。

He made a surprise appearance at the homecoming pep rally at his alma mater, Shiprock High School, to the astonishment and delight of the students present, and had the honor of serving as grand marshal of the Northern Navajo Nation Fair parade.

他出其不意地现身母校Shiprock高中的返校节动员大会,令在场学子惊喜交加,并荣任北纳瓦霍族博览会游行的大礼官。

This Monday, Pete will attend the Indigenous Peoples' Day event held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he will meet and interact with the many fans.

值此周一,Pete将莅临新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基所举办的原住民日活动,与广大球迷展开会面与互动。

Pete takes his place within a long lineage of Indigenous athletes—individuals who have shattered barriers in the world of sports, kindled a sense of community pride, and served as role models for Native children.

Pete跻身于原住民运动员的绵长谱系之中——这些运动员在体育界破除藩篱、唤起社区自豪感,并成为原住民儿童的楷模。

From Olympic champions to professional basketball players, they have not only helped to shape the history of sport but also opened doors for those who would follow.

从奥运冠军到职业篮球运动员,他们既助力塑造了体育史,也为后来者敞开了大门。

Jim Thorpe—a figure still widely venerated as the greatest athlete of all time—hailed from the Sac and Fox Nation of Oklahoma and captured both the decathlon and the pentathlon titles at the 1912 Olympic Games.

吉姆·索普——这位至今仍被普遍尊奉为有史以来最伟大运动员的人物——出身于俄克拉荷马州的索克和福克斯族,于1912年奥运会上囊括十项全能与五项全能两项桂冠。

In addition, he spent six seasons competing in Major League Baseball and twelve seasons in professional football, including a stint in the American Professional Football Association—the forerunner of the National Football League.

此外,他还在美国职业棒球大联盟征战了六个赛季,并在职业橄榄球领域度过了十二个赛季,其中包括效力于美国职业橄榄球协会——亦即国家橄榄球联盟的前身。

Louis Tewanima — Thorpe's track and field teammate during his time at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania — inherited the Hopi people's long-standing tradition of running as a spiritual practice, and thereby won recognition within that repressive institution.

路易斯·特瓦尼马——索普在宾夕法尼亚州卡莱尔印第安工业学校时期的田径队友——承袭了霍皮族以跑步为精神修持的悠久传统,在这所压制性机构中赢得了认可。

He secured ninth place in the marathon at the 1908 London Olympics, claimed the silver medal in the 10,000 meters at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, and established an American record in that event.

他在1908年伦敦奥运会上斩获马拉松第九名,于1912年斯德哥尔摩奥运会上摘得10000米银牌,并缔造了该项目的美国纪录。

The origins of modern surfing can be traced back to the native Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku: it was his international exhibitions during his gold- and silver-medal-winning swimming performances at the 1912, 1920, and 1924 Olympic Games that brought surfing widespread renown.

现代冲浪运动的渊源可上溯至原住民夏威夷人杜克·卡哈纳莫库:正是他在1912年、1920年及1924年奥运会斩获游泳金、银牌期间所进行的国际展示,令冲浪运动声名远播。

Kahanamoku also helped to establish the surfboard as standard maritime lifesaving equipment.

Brown had planned to compete in the marathon at the 1940 Olympics, but those Games were ultimately never held, owing to the outbreak of the Second World War.

布朗本已筹划角逐1940年奥运会的马拉松项目,然该届赛事终因第二次世界大战的爆发而未能举行。

Billy Mills, an Oglala Sioux runner, was the first non-European ever to claim gold in the Olympic 10,000 metres, pulling off a stunning upset at the 1964 Tokyo Games and seizing the title in an Olympic-record time.

奥格拉拉苏族跑者比利·米尔斯乃首位在奥运会10000米跑中摘得金牌的非欧洲人,他在1964年东京奥运会上演爆冷,并以奥运纪录成绩问鼎。

It was the finest medal result the United States had achieved in that Olympic event since Tewanima's silver more than half a century earlier — and Mills's 10,000-metre gold remains unmatched by any American Olympian to this day.

这是自半个多世纪前特瓦尼马获得银牌以来,美国在该奥运项目上的最佳奖牌成绩——而米尔斯这枚10000米金牌至今仍未有美国奥运选手能与之匹敌。
