田纳西州诺克斯维尔——周五下午,美国特勤局官员站在尼兰体育场外,为特朗普总统抵达本周末最受瞩目的大学橄榄球赛事做最后的安保部署。
KNOXVILLE, TN - Secret Service officials stood outside Neyland Stadium on Friday afternoon putting the final touches on their plans for President Trump's arrival to the biggest college football game of the weekend.
道路开始封闭,学生们正从教室出来,漫步在田纳西大学的校园里;与此同时,不少德克萨斯长角牛队的球迷趁着这美好的一天,在东南联盟(SEC)排名前十五强对决开始前,四处观赏校园风光。
Roads were starting to be closed, students were roaming around Tennessee's campus on their way from class, while a number of Texas Longhorn fans took in the sights on this beautiful day before a top-15 showdown in the SEC.
诺克斯维尔的这个下午注定意义非凡,因为阿奇·曼宁首次造访田纳西大学,希望能击败他叔叔佩顿·曼宁钟爱的“志愿者”队(Vols)。
It's all adding up for a monumental afternoon in Knoxville, as Arch Manning makes his first ever stop at the University of Tennessee in hopes of beating his uncle Peyton's beloved Vols.
从本质上说,这场比赛汇聚了大学橄榄球所能提供的一切精彩元素。如果过去两周在奥斯汀和牛津的比赛是某种预示,那么我们将迎来一个极其火爆的下午。
Essentially, this game has everything you could ask for in college football. And, if the previous two weeks in Austin and Oxford are any indication, we are in for one heck of an afternoon.
当你漫步在美丽的田纳西大学校园时,不难感受到人们对周六比赛的期待。在两队历史上,这是第五次交手,而这场对决将在历史悠久的尼兰体育场内进行。
As you made your way around the beautiful Tennessee campus, it wasn’t hard to pick up on the anticipation of Saturday's game. For only the fifth time in each team's history, the Vols and Longhorns will play each other, with this one taking place inside the historic Neyland Stadium.
唐纳德·特朗普为德克萨斯对阵田纳西的巅峰对决增添了政治筹码、期待值以及潜在的场边混乱。在田纳西大学官方服装店内,球迷们偶遇了前外接手乔伊·肯特。
DONALD TRUMP ADDS POLITICAL STAKES, ANTICIPATION AND POTENTIAL SIDELINE CHAOS TO TEXAS-TENNESSEE SHOWDOWN Standing inside the Tennessee apparel store, fans ran into former wide receiver Joey Kent.
在校园的其他角落,佩顿·曼宁抽出时间与学生们互动,就在前一天,乡村音乐明星艾拉·兰利(Ella Langley)还将她的巡回演出带到了志愿者队的篮球馆。
Around other parts of campus, Peyton Manning took time to visit with students, one day after country star Ella Langley brought her expansive tour to the Vols basketball arena.
不过,那些有幸前往田纳西观看周六比赛的客队球迷也值得一提。许多身穿焦橙色球衣的德克萨斯球迷在美丽的校园里穿梭,当他们遇到同队球迷时,会做出标志性的“Hook 'em”手势。
But, there is also something to be said for the visiting fans who are lucky enough to make the trip to Tennessee for the game on Saturday. There were plenty of Texas fans wearing burnt orange roaming the beautiful campus, throwing up the signature 'Hook em' as they ran into some of their own.
本赛季首次,阿奇·曼宁和长角牛队踏上客场之旅,周六上午将有10.2万名球迷等待他们的到来。
For the first time this season, Arch Manning and the Longhorns have hit the road, with 102,000 fans waiting for their arrival on Saturday morning.
“这个地方太美了,我不怕夸赞对手,”一位得克萨斯球迷对OutKick说。“我去过不少SEC校园,但周六这个可能最棒(除了DKR)。我们周四到这儿后,所有人都对我们特别友好,市中心那片我觉得叫‘市场广场’的地方也很漂亮。
"This place is gorgeous, and I'm not afraid to pay an opponent a compliment," one Texas fan told OutKick. "I've been to a number of SEC campuses, but this one might take the cake on Saturday (besides DKR). Everyone has been so nice to us since we arrived on Thursday, and the downtown scene with what i think is 'Market Square' is gorgeous.
“不过,等我们带着胜利离开这里,感觉会好得多。”在尼兰体育场周围的几乎每个角落,都能看到安保人员为唐纳德·特朗普的到来做准备。
"But, it will end up being a whole lot better when we leave here with a win." At just about every corner around Neyland Stadium, you could see security preparing for Donald Trump's arrival.
会议在田纳西的这座圣殿外举行,同时不难注意到警员在周边巡逻,即便是便衣警员。
"But, it will end up being a whole lot better when we leave here with a win." At just about every corner around Neyland Stadium, you could see security preparing for Donald Trump's arrival.
在唐纳德·特朗普总统抵达距校园仅数英里处之前,安保显然已经加强。
Meetings were being held outside Tennessee's cathedral, while it wasn’t hard to notice officers walking the perimeter, even if they were plain-clothed officers.
田纳西官员如此急于让球迷在开球前进入体育场,加之执法车辆增多,他们从美国东部时间上午9点到10点在尼兰体育场内提供半价餐饮,包括酒精饮料。
The security has obviously been increased ahead of President Donald Trump touching down just miles away from campus.
在牛津的四天:莱恩·基芬重返密西西比大学的混乱回归内幕,那变成了纯粹的电影。至于田纳西校园里的球迷和学生,唐纳德·特朗普总统的出现带来了复杂的感受。
Tennessee officials were so hellbent on getting fans inside the stadium before kickoff, amid the increased law enforcement traffic, that they are offering half-priced concessions from 9 a.m. ET to 10 a.m. ET inside Neyland Stadium, including alcohol.
“他(特朗普)到底为什么选这场比赛?他本该去佛罗里达之类的,”一名学生对OutKick说。“这地方本来就会堵成一团糟。但我想,他得为一项对普通民众没有帮助的法案(《保护大学体育法案》)争取更多支持。”另一名学生周五早上才得知特朗普要来校园,对于能和一位在任总统同处一座体育场感到兴奋。
FOUR DAYS IN OXFORD: INSIDE THE CHAOTIC RETURN OF LANE KIFFIN TO OLE MISS, THAT TURNED INTO PURE CINEMA As for fans and students on the Tennessee campus, the presence of President Donald Trump brought a mixed bag of feelings.
“听着,总有一天我能告诉我的孩子们,我曾在总统所在的同一座体育场观看了一场橄榄球赛,”一位田纳西大学的大二学生告诉OutKick。“我真的不在乎你属于哪个政治阵营,也不在乎交通有多糟糕,这其实挺酷的。”这是一种吸引球迷提前入场的方式:只需提供便宜的啤酒,就能减轻他们可能错过完整尾门派对(tailgate)的遗憾。
"Why in the world would he (Trump) choose this game? He should have gone to Florida or something," one student told OutKick. "This place is going to be a traffic nightmare already. But, I guess he has to garner some more support for a bill (Protect College Sports Act) that does not help the everyday citizen." Another student, who found out about Trump coming to campus on Friday morning, was excited about being in the same stadium as a sitting president.
由于安保措施,确切时间尚未公布,但总统很可能在空军一号飞越体育场上空、随后降落在泰森·麦基机场时,从体育场内现身。随后,他将乘坐车队前往田纳西大学校园,周五晚间多条街道将提前封闭以迎接他的到来。
"Look, I'll be able to one day tell my children I got to watch a football game in the same stadium as the President," a Tennessee sophomore told OutKick. "I really don't care what side of the aisle you're on or how bad the traffic will be, it's actually pretty cool." That's one way to entice fans to enter the gates early: just offer them cheap beer that will take some of the sting away from potentially missing out on a full-blown tailgate.
在赛前关于安保和交通问题的讨论中,我们即将见证的是一场具有历史意义的比赛,对阵双方都是底蕴深厚的球队。
While the exact time has yet to be announced, due to security measures, the President will most likely be scene from inside the stadium as Air Force One flies over before landing at Tyson McGee Airport. Then, he will depart for Tennessee's campus via motorcade, with a number of streets being blocked off on Friday night in advance of his arrival.
没错,现场将有众多姓“曼宁”的家人,他们要么为外甥阿奇加油助威,要么默默支持田纳西志愿者队。

Then, he will depart for Tennessee's campus via motorcade, with a number of streets being blocked off on Friday night in advance of his arrival.
显然,佩顿·曼宁会感到左右为难,但他显然希望看到外甥在老曼宁曾创下多项传球纪录的同一座体育场里取得某种成功。
Somewhat lost in all of the pregame talk of security and traffic concerns, we are prepared to witness a monumental game between two storied programs.
田纳西大学线卫阿里翁·卡特将427美元的NCAA禁赛转化为强大的癌症研究筹款活动。但这也同样是一场两支力求保持不败战绩的球队之间的对决。
And yes, there will be plenty of family members with the last name 'Manning' in the house to either cheer on their nephew Arch, or quietly pull for the Tennessee Vols.
田纳西大学能否在真正大一新生四分卫法伊宗·布兰登的带领下,爆冷击败排名第一的长角牛队?当然可以,不过依赖跑卫的表现将在本场比赛中起到关键作用。两周前对阵俄亥俄州立大学时,我们看到了阿奇在三节比赛中的表现,而上周对阵UTSA时,他并没有在记分牌上刷出亮眼数据。
You can obviously expect Peyton Manning to be torn, though he clearly wants to see his nephew find some type of success in the same stadium that the elder-Manning set multiple passing records. TENNESSEE LINEBACKER ARION CARTER TURNS $427 NCAA SUSPENSION INTO POWERFUL CANCER RESEARCH FUNDRAISER But, this is also a showdown between two teams fighting to keep a goose-egg in the loss column.
对于田纳西大学(Vols)来说,要想击败德克萨斯大学(Texas),他们需要依靠由全SEC联盟最佳线卫阿里恩·卡特(Arion Carter)率领的防守阵容付出巨大的努力。不过,这对这支防守队伍来说绝非易事——因为线卫教练威廉·英格尔(William Ingle)目前因不明病因住院治疗,而他的医院距离田纳西大学校园仅几英里之遥。
Can Tennessee upset the No. 1 ranked Longhorns behind true-freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon? Sure they can, though relying on his running backs will play a pivotal part in this matchup. We all saw what Arch did through three quarters against Ohio State two weeks ago, and it wasn’t as if he lit up the scoreboard last week against UTSA.
不过,正如我们在过去三周的大学橄榄球比赛中所见,一旦比赛开始,一切皆有可能发生;如果排名第14位的田纳西大学能在周六下午爆冷取胜,也并不令人意外。
For the Vols to beat Texas, it will take a monumental effort from a defensive unit led by All-SEC linebacker Arion Carter. And, this won't be an easy game for that group, as linebackers coach William Ingle is currently hospitalized with an unknown illness just a few miles away from the Tennessee campus.
无论如何,我们都有机会在诺克斯维尔(Knoxville)见证许多“历史性的一刻”:阿奇·曼宁(Arch Manning)将首次踏上他叔叔佩顿(Peyton)为之扬名的赛场;而田纳西大学则将在主教练乔什·赫佩尔(Josh Heupel)的带领下,再次给大学橄榄球界带来惊喜。
Though, as we've seen over the past three weeks in college football, anything is possible once you hit the field, and it would not be shocking if No. 14 Tennessee pulled off the upset on Saturday afternoon. Either way, we are set to see a number of firsts in Knoxville. Arch Manning makes his first appearance in the house his uncle Peyton immortalized, while Tennessee looks to shock the college football world once again under head coach Josh Heupel.
准备好迎接这个精彩纷呈的周六吧——一切都将从东田纳西地区开始!
Get yourself situated for a fantastic Saturday, and it all starts here in East Tennessee.
