　　Today is an important day for me. For myself, my basketball career and the personal growth in the future, it has a particular meaning.

　　今天对我来说是重要的日子,无论对我以及以往的篮球职业生涯,还是未来个人发展,都具有特殊的意义。

　　At the end of last year I broke my left foot for a third time. I had to leave the basketball court, and spent the last half of the year waiting, just as many of those who care about me. During that period, I struggled a lot in my heart and thought a lot. Now I am going to announce a personal decision: I am going to end my career as a basketball player and officially retire.

　　励志英语演讲：姚明退役讲话

　　First I'd like to thank basketball. This great sport has brought joys to so many people, including me. I had my first basketball when I was four. I entered the Sports School of Xuhui District of Shanghai when I was nine and entered the Shanghai Basketball Youth Team at 14. At 16, I began playing for Shanghai Basketball Team, wearing my father's number. I inherited my family's tradition by playing basketball. I feel so proud every time I look into the eyes of my parents, who are proud of me. I feel very honored to have the opportunity to win the CBA title in 20xx with Shanghai Shark teammates, which has linked us all to this city behind. Basketball also led me on a greater stage when I entered NBA that year. I could play with all I had. What's more, I feel thankful that I had the opportunity to fight together with the national team for 10 years, which is many young players' dream, and through which I got to know and married my beloved woman, and made a happy family and obtained the happiness of my life. All of these are brought by my love, basketball. I want to thank basketball.

　　此时此刻,回顾过去,展望未来,我的内心充满感激,我首先要感谢的是篮球这项伟大的运动,为无数人带来了快 乐,包括我自己。我4岁的时候有了第一个篮球,9岁就入上海市体校,14岁进入上海训练队,16岁背上我父亲当年的号码,代表上海队比赛,篮球是我延续家 庭的传承,每当看到父母欣慰的眼神,都感到无比自豪,也非常荣幸有幸能够和上海大鲨鱼的队友为上海赢得20xx年CBA冠军,和我们身后这座城市联系在一 起。同一年在进入NBA之后,篮球引领我进入更宽广的舞台,使我尽情展现自己。更要感谢能有机会为中国国家队可以奋战十年,那是无数青年人的梦想,同时因 为篮球,与心爱人的结缘,建立美满的家庭,获得一生的幸福。所有这些都是无比热爱的篮球带给我的,我要感谢篮球。

　　I would also like to thank life. No matter my favorite basketball or something else, they are all parts of the life. Life is like a guide. When you sincerely follow it, it will open one and another door for you and the world outside of them is so different and exciting. Today, I retired. The door of basketball is closed, but another door has just opened which will lead me to a new life waiting for me to experience. I will continue to participate in social welfare in the future. Yao Fund is my personal fund, which has been established for three years. And in the coming future, I will take this as the basis and call on more people to get involved in charity and help more people. And at the same time, I wish to know more friends here and to do some things together with you. I believe the exchanges with all of you will teach me more things that will also enrich my life and help me to start from Shanghai to the whole country, from China to the whole world, so I’ll thank life. And in the coming future, to take it seriously will be the best reward to life.

　　我还要感谢生活,无论我所热爱篮球还是别的东西,都是生活的一部分,我觉得生活就像一个向导,你前程追诉他,会打开一闪 一的门,今天退役了,一扇门关上,另外一扇门打开,门外有崭新的生活等着我认真品位。我虽然离开赛场,但是不会离开篮球,上海东方大厦篮球队是我篮球的延 续,我正在用心的方式管理俱乐部,用这种方式为家乡带来快乐。我将继续投身社会公益事业,姚基金是我个人的基金会,已经成立三年,接下来会以此为依托,影 响更多的人参与慈善事业,帮助更多的人。同时我希望结识更多的朋友,一起做喜欢的事情,相信在各行各业,有识之士的交往中,会学到更多的东西,丰富精彩生 活,引领着我从上海走向全国,从中国走向世界。所以我要感谢生活,今后我要认真对待它,才是对生活最好的回报。

　　At last, I want to thank my family and all my friends. I have a very long name list here, but for time limit, I can only mention some of you, please forgive me.
