Farewell To A Basketball Legend Red Auerbach: 1917-2006
永别了，一代篮球传奇－红衣主教奥尔巴奇（1917-2006）

October 28 -- Red Auerbach, the architect and mastermind behind one of the most dominant franchises in professional sports history, the Boston Celtics, has died at the age of 89.
2006年10月28日，红衣主教奥尔巴赫，波士顿凯尔特人队成员，职业体育史上最传奇最有影响力的一代大师辞世而去，享年89岁。

The cigar-chomping Auerbach was an aggressive, challenging and often explosive mentor who coached 11 Hall of Famers, including Bob Cousy and Bill Russell, and led Boston to 10 Eastern Division titles in 16 years.
一直抽嚼着雪茄烟的奥尔巴奇是一位积极进取并经常具有爆发力的导师。他培养了11位NBA名人堂成员包括鲍勃库西和比尔拉索尔并领导波士顿凯尔特人队在16年内获得了10座东部地区冠军名衔。

"Red Auerbach was the consummate teacher, leader, and a true pioneer of the sport of basketball," said NBA Commissioner David Stern. "The NBA wouldn't be what it is today without him."
“红衣奥尔巴奇是一位完美的老师、领袖和一位在篮球运动领域的真正先锋”NBA总裁大卫斯特恩说道，“没有了他，NBA将不复今昔。”

Born on Sept. 20, 1917 in Brooklyn, N.Y., the son of hard-working immigrants from Minsk, Russia, Auerbach started playing basketball at P.S. 122 in Brooklyn and became a star guard for Eastern District High School, making all-scholastic second team as a senior.
奥尔巴奇生于1917年9月20日，纽约布鲁克林。是俄罗斯明斯克苦力工作的移民的儿子。他在布鲁克林区PS122开始打篮球并在日后成为东区高校的明星后卫，以高中生的身份获得所有校级最佳第二团队。

Auerbach longed to be a teacher and coach. After a year at Seth Low Junior College, the Brooklyn arm of Columbia University, he transferred to George Washington University, where he was a standout basketball player. Auerbach left George Washington in 1941 with an M.A., to go with the bachelor's degree he had earned earlier at the school.
奥尔巴奇渴望成为一名老师及教练。经过在哥伦比亚大学布鲁克林分部Seth Low初级学校一年后，他转到了乔治华盛顿大学，并在那里成为了一名出色的篮球运动员。他于1941年带着学士学位离开乔治华盛顿大学。

Auerbach started his coaching career at St. Albans Prep School and Roosevelt High School in Washington, D.C., before serving in the U.S. Navy from 1943 to 1946.
在美国海军1943-1946年服役前，奥尔巴奇在圣阿尔巴马预备学校和在华盛顿特区的罗斯福高中开始了他的教练生涯。

That year, Auerbach began his coaching career in the BAA with the Washington Capitals and led them to the 1947 and 1949 division titles. In 1950, Auerbach became head coach of the Boston Celtics.
那一年，奥尔巴奇在BAA和华盛顿首都队开始了他的教练生涯并率队得到了1947和1949年分区冠军。在1950年，奥尔巴奇成为了波士顿凯尔特人队的主教练。

One of Auerbach’s most notable attributes was that he was colorblind. He didn't see black or white players on the court; he just saw players who could help him win. In 1950, he became the first to draft an African-American: Chuck Cooper, a second-team All-American from Duquesne, in the second round.
最值得注意的一点是奥尔巴奇在当时没有种族歧视，他在场上看不到黑人或白人球员，他只看到能帮助他获取胜利的球员。在1950年，他是第一位在新秀第二轮选择查克酷伯，一名非洲美国人，来自DUQUESNE的全美最佳第二队的成员的主教练。

He was also the first to start five blacks and first to hire a black coach (Bill Russell, 1966) in the NBA. He also hired two other African-American coaches after Russell stepped down -- Satch Sanders and K.C. Jones, both former Celtics.
他同时也是第一个用5名黑人球员作为先发并是第一位在NBA聘用黑人教练（比尔拉索尔，1966年）的人。他另外又在拉索尔走下坡路后聘用了2名非洲美国人，他们是萨奇桑德斯和KC琼斯，是波士顿凯尔特人队前队员。

From 1959 to 1966, the Celtics won eight straight NBA championships, a streak unmatched in sports history. He was named NBA Coach of the Year in 1965, and in 1970, was selected as the NBA's 25th Anniversary All-Time Team coach.
从1959到1966年，凯尔特人队连续获得8次NBA总冠军，这是在体育史上无法比拟的连续记录。他在1965、1970被NBA提名评选为年度最佳教练。他被选为NAB25周年纪念上的最佳团队教练。

When Auerbach left the Boston bench in 1966 at the age of 48 to concentrate on being general manager, he was the winningest coach in NBA history with 938 victories. He was the first to use a "sixth man," he ran a simple offense of seven set plays, and he never had a league-leading scorer. Boston fans reveled when Auerbach lit a cigar to signify that another victory was secure.
当奥尔巴奇在1966年他48岁时离开波士顿板凳并专注与成为一名总经理时，他带着938场胜利成为当时NBA历史上胜利记录最长的教练。他第一个开始在联盟使用“第六人”，他运行一套简练的7套进攻方案而且他从没拥有一名联盟领先的得分手。每当奥尔巴奇点燃一只雪茄时就暗示着球队锁定了胜利，波士顿的球迷就会开始狂欢。

In 1980, the Professional Basketball Writers Association of America (PBWAA) named Auerbach the greatest coach in the history of the NBA. After coaching, Auerbach joined the Celtics front office full-time and in 1980 was named NBA Executive of the Year.
在1980年，美国职业篮球作嫁协会（PBWAA）将奥尔巴奇评选为NBA历史上的最伟大教练。在教练生涯结束后，奥尔巴奇加入了凯尔特人队的一线办公并成为当年NBA最佳管理人员。

His 938-479 (.662) career coaching record currently ranks fifth all-time in NBA history. His all-time record for wins as a coach (1,037, including playoff victories) was eventually broken by Lenny Wilkens. Auerbach led Boston to 99 playoff victories, third all-time behind Phil Jackson and Pat Riley.
他的938胜479负（百分之662胜率）职业教练战绩在NBA历史上排名第五。他作为教练一生的胜绩（1037场，包括季后赛胜利）最终被兰尼威而肯斯打破。奥尔巴奇带领波士顿获得了99场季后赛胜利，在NBA历史上排在第三位，仅仅落后于菲尔杰克逊和帕特莱利。

Arnold "Red" Auerbach once proclaimed, "The Boston Celtics are not a basketball team, they are a way of life." Auerbach, a member of the National Basketball Association since its formation in 1946, has been with the Celtics since 1950. He, like the Celtics, is a way of life.
阿诺德“红衣”奥尔巴奇曾宣布：“波士顿凯尔特人队不仅仅是一支篮球队，他们更是生活的一种方式”奥尔巴奇，从NBA在1946年成立起的一名成员。从1950年开始与凯尔特人队同在。他就象凯尔特人队一样，是生活的一种方式！
