Celtics’ Enes Kanter:“I don’t have a home right now.”

Boston Celtics big man Enes Kanter has spoken up once again about his
highly-publicized spat with his (former) home nation of Turkey. According to
the 27-year-old, he strongly believes that his feud with the Turkish
government has put his life at serious risk.
來自波士頓賽爾提克的大塊頭 Enes Kenter再次談到了其與(前)祖國土耳其的衝突事件。
這位27歲的NBA球員深信他與土耳其政府的恩怨已對他造成嚴重的生命危險。
“I don’t have a home right now,” Kanter told CBC News Network’s Steve
Niles on Tuesday, via Benjamin Blum of CBC. “If I was anywhere else besides
in America, besides Canada, yes I believe my life could be in danger because
I get death threats almost every day [from] Erdogan’s goons.
「我現在已經無家可歸了。」
「如果我身在美國、加拿大以外的國家，我敢保證我現在基本上已經死一半了。」
「我每天都收到一堆死亡威脅。」Kanter無奈地說。
“When I say something, it goes viral — and they hate that, the Turkish
government hates that.”
「每當我發表任何意見、言論，一切就會發酵—他們討厭我這樣做，土耳其政府也是。」
Kanter has never been shy about his qualms about the Turkish government,
which he has labelled as a dictatorship on several occasions. The nation has
not taken it lightly, and have gone on an all-out offensive against the
6-foot-10 center.
從多次對土耳其政府貼上「獨裁」標籤的行為不難看出，
Kanter從來不避於談論自己對於土耳其政府的態度。
同時，土耳其政府也沒有放過這些敵意言論，
曾多次對這名6尺10吋的中鋒採取非常手段。
The Celtics will be facing off against the Toronto Raptors as part of the
league’s Christmas Day slate. While this may be seen by most as a marquee
matchup between two of the best sides in the Eastern Conference today, this
contest also holds a different meaning for Kanter. For the eight-year
veteran, being able to travel to another country outside the US (the Raptors
will be hosting the Christmas Day matchup in Toronto, Canada) is already a
major milestone for him.
賽爾提克即將在聖誕節當天作客多倫多暴龍。
除了兩大東區強權硬碰引起球迷關注外，
這場比賽對Kanter也有很不一樣的意義。
對於征戰NBA戰場已有8年的Kanter而言，
光是踏出美國境內(聖誕大戰在加拿大多倫多舉行)，
就已經是個很了不起的里程碑。
“Just stepping outside of America, just feeling this air and I’m like, ‘
You know what? I feel really free,'” Kanter said about his arrival in
Toronto. “Just enjoying that moment with my teammates it was definitely
amazing.”
Kanter在抵達多倫多之後說著
「光是走出美國，光是感受這裡的空氣，我就會想『喔，我真的自由了』。」
「就這樣純粹的享受與隊友的時光，真是太舒服啦。」
Kanter has played a relatively minor role for the Celtics this season, and
this has caused his production to dip from previous seasons. Right now, the
former third overall pick is averaging just 17.2 minutes per contest, and has
put up 7.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 0.6 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 20 appearances
for Boston thus far.
不同於以往，今年轉隊到塞爾提克的Kanter在球隊中扮演著功能型的腳色，
而沒能完整發揮當年選秀第三順位的能力，
這也使得他的數據不如以往幾個賽季。
為賽爾提克效力的這20場比賽中，
他每場平均僅有17.2分鐘的上場時間，繳出7.8分 7.3籃板 0.6助攻 0.6阻攻的成績單。
