Who Is Wayne Gretzky?

韦恩·格雷茨基是谁？

Who Is Wayne Gretzky? Fifty in fifty. That means scoring fifty goals in fifty hockey games. Maurice "The Rocket" Richard, of the Montreal Canadiens, was the first National Hockey League player to do it, in the 1944–1945 season.

韦恩·格雷茨基是谁？五五开。 这意味着在50场曲棍球比赛中进50个球。 蒙特利尔加拿大人队的莫里斯·“火箭”·理查德（Maurice“The Rocket”Richard）在1944-1945赛季成为第一个做到这一点的国家冰球联盟球员。

Ten years passed. Twenty. Thirty. It seemed no other hockey player could pull off the feat. Finally New York Islander Mike Bossy tied the record thirty-six years later.

十年过去了。二十。三十岁。 似乎没有其他曲棍球运动员能完成这项壮举。 最后，纽约岛民迈克·博西在36年后追平了纪录。

How much time would pass before someone else scored fifty goals in fifty games? One season later, Wayne Gretzky, just twenty years old, skated onto the ice. The place: Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton, Canada. The date: December 30, 1981. Wayne was the center for the Edmonton Oilers. He was about to face off against the Philadelphia Flyers.

要过多久别人才能在50场比赛中进50个球？ 一个赛季之后，年仅20岁的韦恩·格雷茨基滑上了冰面。 地点：加拿大埃德蒙顿的北国体育馆。 日期：1981年12月30日。 韦恩是埃德蒙顿油人队的中锋。 他即将面对费城飞人队。

It had been an amazing season for Wayne. By the thirteenth game, he had thirteen goals. After thirty-five games, he had thirty-eight goals. And after thirty-eight games? He had a whopping forty-five. Now he was ready for game thirty-nine. No one—ever—had scored fifty goals in less than fifty games. Just five more goals and Wayne would do it. On this gusty winter day, Wayne felt lucky. Somehow he knew he'd score—and score big. In the first period he scored two goals, one right after the other. By the end of the second period, he scored again for a hat trick: three goals altogether. Five minutes into the third period, Wayne slid the puck around a rushing defender. He shot, lifting the puck high in the air. He scored! His fourth goal of the game! Now Wayne had forty-nine goals. Could he make it fifty?

对韦恩来说，这是一个了不起的赛季。 到第十三场比赛时，他进了十三个球。 35场比赛后，他进了38个球。 38场比赛之后呢？ 他有多达45个。 现在他已经为第三十九场比赛做好了准备。 从来没有人在不到50场比赛中进过50个球。 只要再进五个球，韦恩就能做到。 在这个刮风的冬日，韦恩觉得自己很幸运。 不知怎么的，他知道他会得分——而且是大得分。 第一节他进了两个球，一个接一个。 在第二节结束时，他又上演了帽子戏法：总共进了三个球。 第三节开始五分钟，韦恩带球绕过了一名冲过来的防守队员。 他投篮，把冰球高高举起。 他得分了!他的第四个进球！现在韦恩有49个进球。 他能做到五十吗？

With ten minutes left, Wayne shot and shot again. Each one was stopped by the Flyers' goalie. Only seconds remained. The game was close: Oilers, 6; Flyers, 5. Philadelphia pulled its goalie off the ice. An offensive player skated out, to try to tie the game. It was a risk. Philadelphia left their net wide open. Wayne took off down the ice. Grant Fuhr, the Oilers' goalie, pushed the puck to right wing Glenn Anderson.

还剩十分钟时，韦恩不停地开枪。 每个球都被飞人队的守门员挡住了。 只剩下几秒钟了。比赛很接近：油人6分；传单、5。 费城队把守门员从冰上拉了下来。 一名进攻队员滑出场地，试图将比分扳平。 这是一种冒险。费城让他们的网大开。 韦恩离开了冰面。 油人队的守门员格兰特·富尔（Grant Fuhr）将冰球推给了右翼格伦·安德森（Glenn Anderson）。
