首先，伪新人报到，我就是小忆，的替身，擦汗……
名字第一个字也是忆，还有头像，够有代表性的……吧？继续擦汗……
然后，官网那个页面的链接只要贴上来立刻就会被吞掉，所以从2楼开始一段一段英汉对照
所以顶楼一拜天地二拜度娘然后跟咕咚对拜……

眼下要想买到它或许比登天还难，有没有别的途径把它弄到手呢？嗯哼~~

只要回答下面的问题，就有机会得到这部自传。
在2006年的克鲁斯堡，格雷姆多特在决赛中击败了谁、最终赢得了冠军？
a) 斯蒂芬马奎尔
b) 彼得艾伯顿
c) 罗尼奥沙利文
将答案发送到 [email protected]

太简单了，是的，实在是太简单了，随便抓个人都能答对
所以，那个邮箱肯定被塞得满满的，包括小美发的邮件
所以，在回答
正确的
一堆邮件中，肯定要随机抽取幸运观众什么的
就算真的幸运地被抽中了，难道咱们还能要求他们跨过跨洲给邮寄过来么？
所以，身在欧洲的小美，你现在是我们全部的希望了啊~~~~
当然，有个英国的网站正在销售，可以从那里买，然而，这样问题更多
首先要在那个网站注册，这倒没什么，注就注吧
然后问题就出来了，用不用把人民币兑换成英镑呢？
话说这书真贵，合人民币有200吧？如果再加上邮费……
好吧好吧就算咱不惜血本兑换了，中国的银行卡能付费么？什么卡才能在那边通用呢？
好吧好吧就算这些问题都想方设法地解决了，最后，它，它，它真的能邮到咱们手上么？
所以，只能等到国内有卖的了？要等到何年何月啊啊啊啊……

然后是某位叫做snookerbacker的记者或编辑写的书评，很长，而且相对于我的水平来讲，比较难，实在看不明白的也就不得不跳过了，只能保证翻译出个大概
I first heard that Graeme had written a book when I was in the press room at Wembley. A national sports journalist was sat behind me at the time and greeted the news with the statement ‘that one will be flying off the shelves then’. A little unfair but indicative of how Graeme is viewed by arguably the majority of people, here he attempts to put the record straight.
在温布利的新闻中心，我第一次听说了格雷姆写书的消息。当时一位国家级体育记者坐在我身后，听到这个消息后宣称“肯定畅销”。虽然不太公平，但也如实反映了可以说是多数人对格雷姆的看法，而他试图在这里澄清事实。（小忆插话：这段实际上我没看懂，可能翻译得不对，好像自相矛盾了。）
I will say that when I got this through the post (free, keep them coming by the way) I thought the read could go either way. It might gather dust and be opened once in a while when tea and toast were being consumed or I might be hooked from page one. I think it’s fair to say it’s kind of in between with some parts of the book a lot more interesting than others.
我要说的是，当我凭借职位之便拿到这本书的时候（可以免费得到无数本），我想我可能会将它束之高阁，只有在茶余饭后才会打开稍微看几眼，或者，我也可能会从第一页起就被它深深吸引。客观地说，我认为这部自传中的一些章节比其他同类要精彩得多。
The first thing I will say is that the book as a whole is a lot better written than almost every other autobiographical snooker book I have ever read and is intensely personal (I will pre-empt one comment by saying I have never read ‘Griff’!). By the end of it you do feel as though you know the subject a lot better and that to me is a sign of a job well done.
给我感触最深的就是这本书整体上写得远远好于我看过的其他几乎所有自传类斯诺克书籍，而且其中饱含着强烈的个人情感。（我要抢先发表一句评论：此前我还从没在自传中看到过“内幕消息”！）看到结尾，你会感觉你对此书的主题有了更深的体会，而对我来说就如同做了一件完美的事情。
If you contrast this with John Virgo’s book which, whilst entertaining in spurts told us little new about Alex Higgins, you have to say that this book is by far and away the better of the two.
（小忆插话：这一小段与另一本书的对比恕我省略了，貌似意义不大。）

His relationship with his former manager and late father-in-law Alex Lambie is never far away from the forefront and Graeme talks passionately about his relationship with the man who he says ‘changed his life’. He also talks lovingly about his relationship with his wife Elaine, who at times, seems to have had seemingly infinite patience with him as Graeme can be quite fairly described at times as the third child in their family.
格雷姆与他的前经纪人、也是后来的岳父——阿莱克斯拉姆比的感情永远是在他心目中排在第一位的。说起这个“改变了自己命运”的人，格雷姆动情地讲述了自己与他的深情厚谊。随后，格雷姆又亲切地谈到了他与妻子伊莲娜的感情，她有时会无限地忍耐他（小忆插话：后半句百思不解了，而且是很关键的半句，什么“公正地描述”、什么“家里的第三个孩子”，到底是什么意思啊？HELP！）。
His talk of dealing with depression is frank and honest. He talks of sitting in a room for hours on end just staring into space and not moving, actually that sounds a bit like me when the World Championships are on…but Graeme, having been prone to bursting into tears at any given time, including in a match involving Barry Pinches (I know the feeling Graeme trust me, I’ve done that too, but for different reasons) talks about how he eventually realised that he had a problem and is continuing to deal with it.在如何从抑郁中解脱出来的问题上，格雷姆毫无保留地敞开了心扉。他曾经连续好几个小时就那样茫然地呆坐在一个房间里一动不动，听起来有点像我在世锦赛正在进行的时候……而格雷姆，他却经常在任何时候突然大哭起来，包括在与巴里平治的一场比赛中。（我能体会到他当时的感受，我也曾有过那样的表现，不过原因不同。）最后他讲述了他发现自己患有抑郁症并持续与之作斗争的经过。

小忆辛苦了
帖子加精了

嗷嗷，刚刚加入的“新人”多谢吧主大人~~~~
实际上这个翻译才刚刚进行了一点点，后面的越来越难了
而且这还仅仅是个简介而已…………
世锦赛的时候我给中央台的主持人发了几条短信
讨论比赛的他们给念了，问简单的问题他们也给回答了
可是一问到关于咕咚自传的事儿他们就不搭理我，估计是也不知道……

嗷，去了趟商城，徽章买来了，可是，就这么一会儿，S咋又消失了
捏
？？？

“He also talks lovingly about his relationship with his wife Elaine, who at times, seems to have had seemingly infinite patience with him as Graeme can be quite fairly described at times as the third child in their family.”
这句话的后半截，as引导的从句 Graeme can be quite fairly described at times as the third child in their family.单独拿出来，可以缩句为 Graeme can be described as the third child in their family.
我理解的是：his wife Elaine有时候对他有用不完的耐心，Graeme有时甚至就像是家中的第三个孩子。
还有就是这本书淘宝上有卖，220或者225RMB，好像是海外代购，不清楚……需要在路上走不到一个月能拿到手，还是很麻烦。

哎呀，说得太对了，这样一来这句话就通顺了，跪谢这位IP同学出手相助
还有关于书的购买方法，再次感谢，我这就去尝试，谢谢谢谢谢谢谢谢~~~~~~~~

my pleasure……客气啥呀，潜水一年多，我该感谢你才是，让我们读到那么……多各种各样……新闻或者其他的东西。顺便说一句，淘宝有风险，购物需谨慎。

嘿嘿，于是我发现，咕咚粉儿们貌似都爱潜水，我在注册之前就断断续续地潜了三四年
嗯哼，那么咱们就不再谢来谢去了，有你这个“顾问”，我又有勇气继续翻译下去了，嗷~~
至于淘宝么……我还真没去买过东西，不过还是准备尝试一下，要搜索什么关键字呢？

嗷……好像有个回复被吞掉了……

是我的……（我是前面“裸奔”的那位）我刚发的一段废话被百度吞掉了，这里就说得简单点了。不过我看我还是“现身”好了……因为平常行走的几个贴吧与体育或者斯诺克无关，所以前面就“匿名”了，不披马甲终究是别扭。
下面是关于18楼的回复：
“顾问”不敢当，我自己英语烂得要死，看些斯诺克新闻算是学英语的动力了。
在淘宝搜索Frame of Mind，只有两个相关的。MS这两家店都需要很长时间……因为我自己也没尝试过，所以不敢保证什么……祝你好运了……（这是被百度吞掉的那条的压缩版。）


嗷，嗷，原来是你，我总在空间的访客里面看到你的名字，不过没有头像，原来……嗷……
书找到了找到了找到了，先收藏起来，今天太晚了，明天再琢磨着买，哦，不，已经到“今天”了，六一了，嗷……（这是解压缩版）

大概因为我总去你那边看图片……好多很不错的图片。
祝儿童节快乐……

嗷，好吧，儿童节还是挺适合我的
话说我那里……除了好多很不错的图片之外，还有好多很不错的YY文，是……吧？（嗷，自PIA~）
不过有点想知道你是怎么找到这里然后注意到我的
看你平时去的其它的贴吧都是文学类的
