北京时间2月4日，休斯敦火箭队为姚明举行了球衣退役仪式(jersey retirement ceremony)。属于姚明的11号球衣从此将高悬于丰田中心球馆，姚明也步入了队史的传奇殿堂。

姚明的演讲依旧充满了幽默段子和感人的小故事，让在场的球迷一边欢笑一边抹泪……

When walking into this room, I saw the numbers up there, and I knew my first wish for this year has already gone, because I wished I could get a 10-day contract.

当我再次走进这座球馆时，抬头看到球馆上即将悬挂上去的我的号码，我就知道自己的新年愿望已经落空了，因为我再也不可能和火箭签10天短合同了。

We were a very passionate and young team 10 years ago. I believe Dikembe Mutombo would agree with that. Back then I would chase Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley in a transition, just like two mini-tanks dragging a huge Boeing 777 at an airport.

十年前，我们是一支充满活力的年轻球队，相信穆大叔对这一点深有感悟(这是在调侃穆大叔年纪大)。那时候我总是跟着弗朗西斯和莫布里打转换，这感觉就像在飞机场上两辆小坦克拖着一个巨大的波音777前进。

There were so many things unknown, but just remember one thing: give the ball to TMC when there's just 35 seconds left.

虽然球场上未知的事情很多，但只要记住一个准则，最后35秒的时候把球交给麦迪就好。

You know what I told my neighbor that night when I drove home? Because he turned off the TV minutes before the game was over. I told him that TMC and I scored 15 points in the last minute. The turn came around.

你知道那场比赛结束之后，我开车回家时怎么跟我邻居说的?他在那场比赛(火箭vs马刺)结束前几分钟就把电视关了，我告诉他，最后1分钟，我和麦迪合砍了15分，逆转了比赛。

He explained that the Rockets surprised him for Chinese New Year when he was a rookie. It was his first Chinese New Year spent overseas. Yao said they even gave him a red envelope with money in it — a traditional Chinese New Year gift — but, as the crowd laughed, he said when he opened it up, he saw that there was only $2 inside.

他说到自己在海外度过的一个中国新年，那时他还是个菜鸟，火箭队集体给了他一个惊喜。他们按照中国传统习俗每人给了他一个红包。观众们都笑起来。姚明说，可是当他打开红包，发现里面只有2美元。

I talked to CD, "Usually we put 10 dollars in it, instead of 2." And CD said, "You know we have a salary cap, right?"

于是我就跟时任总经理的道森说，"通常我们至少放10块钱，不是2块钱。"然后道森说，"你知道球队有工资帽的对吧(工资帽：NBA的工资限制条款)。"

I still have one of those two dollar bills inside my pocket, and I've carried it since then, because I know no matter where I go or how far I go, as long as that bill’s in my pocket, home is with me.

时至今日，我的钱包中还放着当时的一张两美元，因为我知道无论我走到哪儿，走多远，只要有它陪伴，我的家就在那里。
