1. Do you know Jeremy Lin (Lin Shuhao)? He has gone from an unknown professional basketball player struggling to get time on court to a sporting star.翻译
你知道杰里米 ·林（ 林书豪）吗？他已经从一个名不见经传的职业篮球运动员不断拼搏一跃而成为篮球场上的新星。
2. Born on August 23, 1988, Lin is an Asian-American NBA player. He wears the jersey No. 17 and plays as point guard. As a professional basketball player, he’s not overly tall, measuring 6 feet, 3 inches (191 centimeters) and weighs 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms). He played for four years at Harvard, and has spent just one year as a professional player.翻译
林书豪生于1988年8月23日，是纽约尼克斯队的一名亚裔美籍篮球运动员。他穿17号球衣，司职组织后卫。作为一个职业篮球运动员，他并非特别高挑， 身高为6英尺3英寸（191厘米），体重200磅（ 90.7千克）。他在哈佛大学已经打了四年的球，在美职篮刚打了一年的球。
3. Everyone loves a battle-against-the-odds story, and Lin fits the bill perfectly. The reasons for his rise to become a US basketball star are many, but it all starts with talent. In just weeks, he’s saved the whole team. Lin also stands out due to his educational background, being the only current NBA player who has a Harvard degree, and is the first Harvard graduate to play in the league for almost 60 years.翻译
每个人都推崇勇敢斗争跨越艰难的奋斗故事，而林书豪完美地体现了这个过程。他能崛起成为美国篮球明星的原因诸多，但首先他有这种天赋。在短短几周里，他就拯救了整个球队。林书豪惹人注目的另一个原因是他的学历：他是目前现役美国篮球职业联赛中唯一拥有哈佛大学学位的球员，也是60年来第一个在美国职业联赛中打球的哈佛毕业生。
4. Although Lin hasn’t built up status in China like Yao Ming did, the Chinese interest is already there, with 900 000 followers on Weibo. The NBA has also said its TV partners in Asia will soon start showing Knicks games.翻译
尽管林书豪还没有像退役的中锋——姚明那样在中国声名远播，但是国内早就关注这位球星了，他的微博拥趸已有90万。 美职篮也表示，他们的亚洲电视转播伙伴将很快转播纽约尼克斯队的比赛。
5. From a marketing viewpoint for the Knicks, Jeremy Lin brings huge profits—in a week his No. 17 jersey was sold better than those of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. The league is looking for new stars to draw fans into the sport. With his attraction, Ivy League background and come-from-nowhere story, Lin is just the right person.翻译
从尼克斯队的市场运营角度而言，林书豪带来了巨大的商业利润——一周内他的17号球衣的销量超过了勒布朗·詹姆斯和科比·布莱恩特。篮球联盟正在寻找新星使球迷参与这项运动。由于林书豪本身具有的吸引力和常春藤背景，以及横空出世的故事背景，因此，他就是那个合适的人。
