See if you can I.D. me. I'm an American organization that was founded in the early 1900. I have more than 1,000 members, mostly colleges and universities. My president is Mark Emmert, and my headquarters is in Indianapolis.
看你能否认出我。我是在20世纪初成立的一个美国组织。我有1000多个成员，大多数是学院和大学。我这个组织的主席是马克·艾默特，而总部设在印第安纳波利斯。
I'm the NCAA, and I'm responsible for creating and enforcing rules for college athletics.
我就是美国大学体育总会，我负责为大学运动员们制定并执行规则。
One set of rules the NCAA focuses on is the eligibility of student athletes, specifically their amateur status.Many colleges athletes get scholarships, so playing sports can offset the cost of their education. But they don't actually get paid to play. The group started by a former college players pushing for change. Last weekend, it organized an on-field demonstration.
美国大学体育总会关注的一套规则正是大学生运动员们的资格，特别是他们的业余身份。很多大学运动员有奖学金，所以投身于运动能抵消教育的花费。但他们并不能真正通过运动得到报酬。这个组织是由想推行变革的前大学运动员发起的。上周末，它组织了一场实地示威。
Companies pay millions to advertise on athletes, so some college players thought, why not send out our own message? They grabbed sharpie Saturday and scribbled this on their armbands, towels and athletic tape. The letters A, P, U. All players united. 28 college football athletes from at least three major division one teams staged a polite unauthorized protest for NCAA reform.
公司支付了数百万对运动员做广告,所以一些大学球员想到为什么不公布自己的信息呢?他们星期六找了位专家并在臂章,毛巾和透气胶带上进行了这样的涂鸦。字母A,P,U代表美国所有运动员们联合起来。来自至少三个主要部门团队的28名大学足球运动员举行了礼貌性未经授权的NCAA改革抗议。
Players really wanted to find a way to be more visible and vocal and to show unity.
运动员们真正想找到一种更明显,更具影响力及表达团结的方法。
Ramogi Huma, a former UCLA linebacker and voice for reform, said it was the athletes' idea.
前加州大学洛杉矶分校中后卫球员支持改革的拉米吉·呼玛表示这是运动员们的声音。
The money is going to go to the places that always goes, and we're talking about salaries for coaches, athletic directors conference commissioners, NSAA headquarters luxury boxes, you know, in the stadiums, but they are not being directed to take care of players' medical expenses, to invest in concussion research, brain trauma research to help protect the players that are generating the money. And even education.
资金会一如既往流向以前的地方,而我们谈论的是教练, 体育董事会议专员，NSAA总部豪华包厢的资金流向,你知道,这是在竞技场内,但这些资金不是用于运动员们的医疗费用、投资于脑震荡研究、脑创伤研究来帮助保护创造财富的运动员们。甚至连教育连一点份额也没有。
We here all the time the argument: the college athletes should be paid, since so many others cash in on what they do, but that's not their only complain. They also say that if they get injured on the field, there is no guarantee their medical expenses will be paid. If they don't graduate in four years, there is no guarantee they can still stay and get a degree.
我们这里想要表达的观点是:大学生运动员应该被支付薪酬,因为很多人利用他们创造财富,但这并不是他们唯一的抱怨。他们还表示如果在运动场上受伤,自己的医疗费用也不能得到保证。如果4年内不能毕业,也没有仍然可以留校并继续争取学位的保证。
