The number of foreign-born players in America’s professional National Basketball Association has been three times larger in the past two decades. One of the players - San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker - and a rookie - Washington Wizards’ Hamady Ndiaye - are among them.
在美国国家篮球协会的职业篮球队中，国外出生的球员人数，过去20年来增加了3倍。圣安东尼奥马刺队的托尼·帕克和华盛顿奇才队的新球员哈马迪·恩迪亚耶就是其中的两位。
For NBA fans， Tony Parker is a well-known name， a 10-year veteran on one of the best teams in the league. Hamady Ndiaye is a little-known rookie on a team that loses far more often than it wins. What these two players have in common is they both grew up outside of the United States.
对NBA球迷来说，托尼·帕克是一个耳熟能详的名字。他已经为NBA最佳球队之一效力10年了。哈马迪·恩迪亚耶还是一名鲜为人知的新进球员，他隶属的球队输球场次远超过赢球。而两人的共同点是他们都来自美国以外。
Parker is lucky to be playing for one of the National Basketball Association’s best teams， the San Antonio Spurs.
帕克很幸运，能加入NBA最好的球队之一圣安东尼奥马刺队。
The Spurs have won four NBA titles in the past 12 seasons. They recently scored a big win over the struggling Washington Wizards in the nation’s capital. Although he scored the most points for the Spurs， Parker still owed it to the team.
马刺队在过去12个赛季中，赢得4次NBA总冠军。最近，在首都华盛顿的一场比赛中，马刺队以压倒优势战胜了苦苦挣扎的华盛顿奇才队。虽然帕克在这场比赛中得分最多，他还是把胜利归功于全队球员。
He says basketball is one of the reasons he loves living in the United States and he’s happy in San Antonio， Texas. “I am feeling very blessed and very lucky to be in a great organization， a great team. This year we are having a great year.”
帕克说，篮球是他喜欢住在美国的原因之一。他在德州圣安东尼奥感觉很快乐。他说：“能加入一个伟大篮球组织中的一个杰出球队，我觉得非常幸运。今年我们打得很棒。”
While Parker is considered a veteran since he has been with the Spurs for about a decade， Hamady Ndiaye of the Washington Wizards is a rookie in the NBA， being drafted last year out of Rutgers University in New Jersey.
和帕克在马刺队效力已经10年相比，哈马迪·恩迪亚耶加去年才从新泽西州罗格斯大学被招进华盛顿奇才队。
A native of Senegal， Ndiaye is 2.1-meters （7 feet） - tall and recently celebrated his 24th birthday. The Wizards have won only 27 percent of their games so far this season - with a 15-54 record through February 17 - but the rookie remains upbeat.
恩迪亚耶原籍塞内加尔，身高2.1米，刚满24岁。到2月17日为止，奇才队打了54场比赛，胜了15场，胜率只有27%。但是这名新秀仍然很乐观。
He was thankful to one person， Babacar Sy， not only for teaching him the basics in basketball when he was 15， but also for finding him a scholarship at a high school in California. He later would get another scholarship to Rutgers， where he played for four years and eventually earned a communications degree.
恩迪亚耶非常感谢巴巴卡·锡。巴巴卡·锡不但在他15岁那年教他篮球基本动作，还为他在加州一所高中申请到一份奖学金。他后来拿一份奖学金上了罗格斯大学，在那里打了4年球，并且获得传播学学位。
In 1992， though， the year of the original U.S. Olympic “Dream Team”， the NBA had only 21 international players. Today， that number has become three times as many to 20 percent of all NBA players who come from 40 countries.
1992年，第一支美国奥运篮球梦之队成立那年，NBA新人里只有21名外籍球员。今天，这个数字翻了3倍，来自40个国家的外籍球员已经占到NBA球员总数的20%。
