Knicks guard Jeremy Lin gets the gossip page treatment

林書豪成八卦小報新寵

Jeremy Lin has been great with the media, but now that the honeymoon is over,
the gossip pages have turned on the Knicks' rising star.

林書豪與媒體關係一向良好，不過現在蜜月期已經結束了，
八卦小報已經鎖定這位尼克新星。

For the most part, Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has been kind to the media
and the media has been all too happy to reciprocate. Outside of his knee
injury in late March—a time in which he was somewhat evasive—Lin has been
forthcoming and has been treated with mutual respect.

大多時候，林書豪對媒體十分友善，媒體也樂於投桃報李。
除了三月底膝傷那段時間，對媒體有些閃躲之外，
林書豪一直都坦承以對，媒體也展現出相對的尊重。

But the Knicks first-round loss to the Miami Heat closed the door on the
honeymoon. Now comes the irritating part of living in New York. The fans that
pack Madison Square Garden with "Linsanity" and "Super Lintendo" signs might
also be the fans who pick up the New York Post and read about the personal
lives of the players they love.

然而尼克季後賽第一輪輸給熱火，讓蜜月期畫下句點。身在紐約惱人的部分登場了。
那些湧進MSG高舉「林來瘋」與「林天堂」標語的球迷，也可能翻開紐約郵報，
讀到這位球星的私生活。

And in some cases, even when those players do the kinds of things that any
24-year-old male in Manhattan might do, the fans and media can be pretty
judgmental.
For instance, it's not a big deal that Lin went out with teammates Josh
Harrellson, Jerome Jordan and Landry Fields in the Meatpacking District on
Thursday night. The season is over, nobody was driving drunk, and the players
reportedly were with friends, but kept to themselves.

雖然這些球員們做的事，和曼哈頓大多數24歲的年輕人差不多，
但球迷和媒體有時可是非常吹毛求疵的。
就拿這件事來說吧！林書豪和隊友肯胖、大JJ、LF星期四出現在夜店區。
球季結束了，沒有人酒醉駕車、球員們也只和朋友待在一起、自成一個小圈圈。

Unfortunately the Post's report of the night out puts everything in a
different light.

很糟糕的是，紐郵的報導把每件事都扭曲了。

"They were really drowning their sorrows," one unnamed source told the Post.
"Jeremy was drinking and was acting tipsy... like a college frat kid."
The article also noted that Lin was "talking to a group [of women] dressed in
tight-fitting dresses."

「他們醉在悲傷之中」，不具名消息來源告訴紐郵：
「林書豪也喝了酒，看起來醉醺醺，就像大學兄弟會的紈褲子弟一樣。」
這篇文章也提到林書豪「和一群穿著緊身洋裝的女生說話。」

Has anyone been to the Meatpacking District after 10 p.m.? Nearly everyone
has on tight clothes. But, when you read the description in the Post, it
seems like he was up to something particularly seedy.

你們有在晚上10點以後去過夜店區嗎？那裡幾乎每個人都穿著緊身衣啊！
但是你讀著紐郵的報導，卻彷彿在暗示這是某種下流勾當。

Lin, who will likely be a restricted free agent this summer and will probably
receive the team's mid-level exception to stay in New York, told the Post on
Thursday that he loves the Knicks, "but at the same time it's a business,"
adding, "crazy things happen."

林是受限自由球員，極有可能拿到中產合約並留在紐約。


He's right. Crazy things do happen, and in New York City, they happen all the

time. Thursday night was just a taste of how crazy things can get for Lin.

他說得對。瘋狂的事無所不在，尤其是紐約，幾乎無時無刻都在上演。
星期四晚上只是讓林書豪嚐嚐事情有可能變得多麼瘋狂的一個開始。
