Good morning, and thank you for joining me. Many of you in this room are my friends. Many of you in this room know me. Many of you have cheered for me or you’ve worked with me or you’ve supported me。
早上好,感谢大家光临。在这里的各位很多都是我的朋友,你们中的许多人了解我、或为我欢呼或与我一共工作,又或支持我。
Now every one of you has good reason to be critical of me. I want to say to each of you, simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior. I engaged in。
现在你们每一个人都有充分的理由来谴责我。我想毫不避讳的对你们每一个人说,对我曾作出的自私和不负责任的行为我感到非常抱歉。
I know people want to find out how I could be so selfish and so foolish. People want to know how I could have done these things to my wife Elin and to my children. And while I have always tried to be a private person, there are some things I want to say。
我知道人们都想知道为何我会如此自私和愚蠢。人们想知道我怎么能对我的妻子艾琳和孩子们作出这样的事情。我一直努力将此视为私人问题,在这里我有一些事情需要说明。
Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form. of words; it will come from my behavior. over time. We have a lot to discuss; however, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us。
艾琳和我已开始讨论因我的行为所造成的破坏。正如艾琳向我指出的,我真正的忏悔不在于语言,而在于我今后的行动。我们有很多讨论,但我们说的话讲仅限于彼此知晓。
I am also aware of the pain my behavior. has caused to those of you in this room. I have let you down, and I have let down my fans. For many of you, especially my friends, my behavior. has been a personal disappointment. To those of you who work for me, I have let you down personally and professionally. My behavior. has caused considerable worry to my business partners。
同时我也意识到了我的行为给在座的各位带来了伤害。我让你们失望了,我辜负了我的球迷。对于很多人,特别是我的朋友们,我的行为是个人的伤害。对那些为我工作的人,在个人和工作上都受到了伤害。我的行为给我的商业伙伴造成了相当大的麻烦。
To everyone involved in my foundation, including my staff, board of directors, sponsors, and most importantly, the young students we reach, our work is more important than ever. Thirteen years ago, my dad and I envisioned helping young people achieve their dreams through education. This work remains unchanged and will continue to grow. From the Learning Center students in Southern California to the Earl Woods scholars in Washington, D.C., millions of kids have changed their lives, and I am dedicated to making sure that continues。
对我基金会的每个人而言,包括工作人员,董事,赞助商,特别是我们教育的青年学生,我们的工作比以往更加重要。前,我父亲和我期望可以帮助青少年通过教育实现他们的梦想。这项工作不会改变并会发展壮大。从在南加利福尼亚州学习中心的学生到华盛顿厄尔-伍兹学校的学生,数以百万计的孩子们通过教育改变了他们的生活,我将继续致力于这一事业。
But still, I know I have bitterly disappointed all of you. I have made you question who I am and how I could have done the things I did. I am embarrassed that I have put you in this position。
不过,我仍然知道我让大家心寒。我让你们对我这个人和我所作的事情都产生了疑问。为你们带来这样的困扰我感到尴尬。
For all that I have done, I am so sorry。
对我所做的一切我感到深深的抱歉。
