Back in 1987, as the newly-crowned Wimbledon champion, 回到一九八七年，當時身為新任溫布頓冠軍的我，
I got the shock of my life when I came across a brash young American called Andre Agassi. 遇到一位叫做安卓‧阿格西的火爆浪子美國青年，這是我此生的衝擊。
Andre may have been a superhero on the court, but off the court, he was very much human. 或許場上的安卓是位超級英雄，但球場下的他和一般人沒有什麼不同。
Eight Grand Slam titles, Olympic gold, number one in the world in 1995, and two years after that, 141 in the world. 八座大滿貫冠軍和一面奧運金牌，一九九五年他登上世界排名第一，兩年之後，他掉到世界第一百四十一名。
And two years after that, he was back to number one. 再過兩年，他就重返世界第一了。
Set with the task to unearth the real Andre Agassi, 我們接到這項發掘真實安卓‧阿格西的任務，
we turn to fellow Hall of Famer, the flamboyant commentator and author, Bud Collins, to ask the all-important questions. 便求助同是名人堂的成員、熱情豪爽的球評兼作家巴德‧柯林斯，來提問所有重要的問題。
My name is Bud Collins. I've been as a journalist over 50 years, television, writing. Every year, there are new people added to the list of the tennis immortals. 我叫巴德‧柯林斯，我當記者超過五十年了，包括電視和寫稿。每年網壇不朽人物的名單都會加入新成員。
And now, I know you're going to like this year's entrant, one of the few men who have a career Grand Slam. 現在，我知道你們一定會喜歡今年的入選者，他是少數完成生涯大滿貫的選手之一。
Andre Agassi, it's just about time for him to be in the Hall of Fame. 安卓‧阿格西，也該是讓他進入名人堂的時候了。
Congratulations, Andre. You're in the Hall. 恭喜，安卓，你進入名人堂了。
You've had in your career more ups and downs than an elevator operator. 你網球生涯中的起起落落比電梯操作員的還要多啊。
I mean it just... he's there, he's wonderful, he's the greatest player of all time. 我的意思是說……一下子他名列前茅，表現優秀，是有史以來最偉大的球員；
He's down here, what's he doing? He's 141 on the ATP rankings. 一下子他排名又掉這麼低，他在搞什麼啊？他在職業網球協會排名第一百四十一。
How did you dig yourself out from that? Why did you? 你如何從那樣的處境爬出來？為什麼你要那麼做？
You know, I did because I needed to choose and take ownership of my life. 我當時那麼做，是因為我必須做出抉擇，取得我人生的掌控權。
You know, I felt like my father chose the game for me when I was young. 我年輕的時候，覺得是我的父親為我選擇了這項運動，
I stayed with it out of fear -- fear of what this would mean to walk away from something I've just known my whole life. 我是出於恐懼才與它為伍，害怕這表示得遠離我一輩子最瞭解的東西的這件事。
But I've always had that slight disconnect with it until I was about 27 years old. 我和網球始終有點距離，直到我二十七歲左右的時候。
And when I was 27 years old, 141 in the world, I gave myself permission to quit. 我二十七歲時，掉到世界排名第一百四十一名，我允許自己放棄。
I should say, I've quit a thousand times in my life, but I've never allowed myself to stay away. 我應該說，我一生中放棄網球上千次了，但我從來不允許自己離開它。
And I said, "I'm going to choose it for myself." And that's when I started to think about the school, my academy in Las Vegas, 然後我想：「我要為自己而選擇網球。」也就是那時候開始，我開始考慮創校，也就是我在洛杉磯的學校，
and I started to play tennis to change the lives of these children, and I started to find out that, 我開始藉由打網球來改變這些孩童的生活，也開始發現，
geez, this is really fulfilling me, and tennis is a reason why I can do this. 老天，這真的讓我感到很充實，而網球就是讓我有能力這麼做的一個原因。
And from that day forward I started a love affair with it. 從那天起，我才開始愛上網球了。
And what did Gil mean to you? Gil Reyes? 吉爾對你來說有什麼意義？吉爾‧雷爾斯？
Gil's been everything to me. I call him my lifeguard, you know. 吉爾對我一直非常重要，我稱他為我的生命守護者。
Physically, he knows the body better than anybody I've ever met. 體能上，他比我所認識的任何一個人都還要了解人體，
He kept me playing until I was 36. He's been one of those influential people in my life. 他幫助我打球打到三十六歲。他是我人生中其中一位具有影響力的人。
My father, Gil and my wife. 我的父親、吉爾和我的妻子。
How funny that the three most influential people in my life, English isn't their first language, but we found a way to communicate. 很有趣的是，我人生中這三位影響我最多大的人，他們的母語都不是英文，但我們找到了彼此溝通的方式。
Dad, when I was five, you told me to win Wimbledon. When I was seven, you told me to win all of the four Grand Slams. 爸，我五歲的時候，你叫我要拿下溫布頓冠軍。我七歲的時候，你叫我要拿下所有四大滿貫的冠軍。
And more times than I can remember, you told me to get into the Hall of Fame. 還有好幾次，次數多到我都記不得了，你叫我要進入網球名人堂。
And when I was 29, I don't know if you remember this, you told me to marry Steffi Graf. 然後，我二十九歲的時候，我不知道你是否還記得，你叫我要娶史黛妃‧葛拉芙為妻。
Best order you ever gave me. So, Dad, please don't ever stop telling me what to do. 這是你給過我最好的指示。所以，爸，請不要停止告訴我要做什麼。
It was tough with your father, we all know that. He loved you in his way. 我們都知道，你和你父親相處並不和諧，他以他的方式愛你。
You loved him, I think, in... but you had to get away from him. Is that correct? 我想你也愛他，以……但你必須脫離他，這麼說對嗎？
I think so, and I think he knew better than me. 是的，我認為他比我還要了解。
I think that's why he sent me away. He saw what tennis had done and relationships with my other siblings. 我想這就是為什麼他送我，因為他看見網球造成的影響，以及與我兄弟姐妹間的關係。
He's a man that was passionate about tennis and believed tennis was the fastest road to the American dream. 他是一個對網球懷抱熱忱的人，並且相信網球是達成美國夢最快的一條路。
