    这里是今日热点节目。

    The Cleveland Cavaliers won the National Basketball Association championship on Sunday night.
    克利夫兰骑士队周日晚上夺得美国职业篮球联赛(NBA)总冠军。

    In the last game of the seven-game series, Cleveland defeated the Golden State Warriors, 93-89. And the victory gave Cleveland its first major sports title in 52 years.
    在抢七大战中,克里夫兰骑士队以93比89击败金州勇士队。这场胜利为克里夫兰赢得了52年以来的第一座重大体育赛事冠军。

    The last time a team from Cleveland won a championship was in 1964. Its football team, the Browns, won the National Football League title.
    克里夫兰的球队上次赢得冠军是在1964年。当时克里夫兰布朗队赢得了美国美式足球联赛冠军。

    For many years, Cleveland sports fans lived with disappointment and watched teams that were not very good.
    多年来克里夫兰体育迷们带着失望观看着不太强的球队。

    For example, the Cleveland Indians baseball team lost at least 100 of 162 games four times between 1971 and 1991.
    例如,克里夫兰印第安人棒球队在1971年到1991年期间四次输掉了162场比赛中的至少100场。

    And at the end of the 1995 football season, the Browns moved to Baltimore in the state of Maryland. It was a heartbreaking moment for many Cleveland sports fans.
    而在1995年美式足球赛季结束时,布朗队搬到了马里兰州的巴尔的摩市。这是许多克里夫兰体育迷一个心碎的时刻。

    A new team, with the old name, returned in 1999. But the new Browns have not been very good.
    1999年,一支新的球队以布朗队这个老名字重新回归。但是这支新的布朗队一直表现不太好。

    But on Sunday night, when time ran out at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, the Cavaliers and all the fans could finally celebrate a championship.
    但是周日晚上,当加州奥克兰市甲骨文球场的比赛结束时,骑士队和所有球迷终于可以庆祝冠军了。

    Andy Borowitz is a comedian from Cleveland. He wrote on Facebook, "any other Cleveland fans having trouble adjusting to having won something?"
    Andy Borowitz是一名来自克里夫兰的喜剧演员。他在Facebook上写道,“还有没有克里夫兰球迷对获得冠军还不太适应呢?”

    That is because Cleveland fans are not used to celebrating sports championships.
    这是因为克里夫兰球迷还不习惯庆祝体育赛事冠军。

    The victory fulfilled a promise that Cleveland's star player, LeBron James, made to the city.
    这场胜利完成了克里夫兰骑士队巨星勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)对这个城市许下的诺言。

    James grew up close to Cleveland in the city of Akron, Ohio. He started his career with the Cavs. But he left Cleveland to play for the Miami Heat for four seasons starting in 2010.
    詹姆斯在邻近克里夫兰的俄亥俄州阿克伦城长大。他在骑士队开始了自己的职业生涯。但他2010年离开骑士队为迈阿密热火队效力了四个赛季。

    When James announced he would return to Cleveland in the summer of 2014, he said he would help the team win a championship.
    当詹姆斯2014年夏天宣布他将重返克利夫兰骑士队时,他说他会帮助该队赢得一个总冠军。

    And he did it.
    而他也做到了。

    James also won the series' Most Valuable Player award.
    詹姆斯同时赢得了总决赛最有价值球员奖(FMVP)。

    ESPN calculated there had been 146 sports seasons without a team from Cleveland winning the championship in baseball, football or basketball.
    ESPN统计已经有146个赛季没有来自克里夫兰的球队在棒球、美式足球和篮球赛事中赢得冠军。

    That streak came to an end.
    这一系列记录从此作古。

    And the celebration is just beginning. The Cavs returned to Cleveland on Monday afternoon to get ready for a parade and a big party on Wednesday.
    而庆祝才刚刚开始。骑士队周一下午回到了克里夫兰为周三的游行和大派对做准备。

    Cleveland fans from all over the country celebrated a lifetime of waiting coming to an end.
    来自美国各地的骑士队球迷庆祝着一生等待即将结束。

    In fact, along with the hashtag #NBAFinals and the names of the players trending on Twitter overnight, so was Cleveland.
    实际上,推特上整晚的NBA总决赛标签以及热门球员名字都是骑士队。

    One organization created a graphic showing three front pages from the Cleveland newspaper.
    一家组织创建了一个图表,展示了克里夫兰报纸的三个头版。

    One, from 2010, showed James leaving, with the headline "Gone." In 2014, it said "Home." And on Monday morning it read "Believe It!"
    第一个头版来自2010年,以头条标题“出走”揭示了詹姆斯离开。2014年的标题是“回家”。而周一早上的标题是“坚信!”

    Even President Obama, a noted fan of the Chicago sports teams, posted this on Twitter: "What a game and what a series for the Cavs. Happy to see [LeBron] James bring it home for Cleveland!"
    即使是作为芝加哥球队著名粉丝的奥巴马总统也在推特上写道,“这场比赛太精彩了!骑士队打出了非常出色的一轮系列赛,恭喜詹姆斯为他的家乡克利夫兰带去了总冠军!”

    The celebration is not until Wednesday, but thousands of Cleveland fans went to the airport to greet the team plane on Monday.
    庆祝活动要到周三,但是数千名骑士队球迷周一到了机场去给球队接机。
