NFL legend Brett Favre has revealed he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease after a 20-season career in which he may have sustained "thousands" of concussions.
NFL 傳奇人物 Brett Favre 透露,在 20 個賽季的職業生涯中,他可能遭受了「數千次」腦震盪,最近被診斷出患有帕金森氏症。
The 54-year-old former Green Bay Packers quarterback disclosed the diagnosis during testimony before a US Congressional panel in Washington which is probing alleged misuse of taxpayer money.
這位 54 歲的前綠灣包裝工隊四分衛在華盛頓的美國國會小組作證時披露了這一診斷結果,該小組正在調查涉嫌濫用納稅人資金的行為。
Favre told lawmakers he lost his investment in a company that was developing a breakthrough concussion drug.
法夫爾告訴立法者,他失去了對正在開發突破性腦震盪藥物的公司的投資。
"As I'm sure you'll understand, while it's too late for me -- I've recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's -- this is also a cause dear to my heart."
“我相信你會理解,雖然對我來說為時已晚——我最近被診斷出患有帕金森氏症——但這也是我內心所珍視的事業。”
The company Favre was referring to is Prevacus, which makes a concussion drug and received $2 million in taxpayer money from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) fund.
法夫爾所指的公司是 Prevacus,該公司生產腦震盪藥物,並從貧困家庭臨時援助 (TANF) 基金中獲得了 200 萬美元的納稅人資金。
The founder of the company, Jacob VanLandingham, pleaded guilty to wire fraud earlier this year after admitting he used welfare money given to Prevacus to pay off gambling debts.
該公司的創始人雅各布·範蘭丁漢姆 (Jacob VanLandingham) 在承認使用給予 Prevacus 的福利金來償還賭債後,於今年早些時候承認了電匯欺詐罪。
Favre, who played 321 straight games during his career -- an NFL record for a quarterback -- retired from the sport in 2010.
法夫爾在職業生涯中連續打了 321 場比賽,創造了 NFL 四分衛紀錄,並於 2010 年退休。
In a 2018 interview, Favre said although he was only formally diagnosed with a handful of concussions during his career, he believes the actual number was far greater.
法夫爾在 2018 年的一次採訪中表示,儘管他在職業生涯中只被正式診斷出患有幾次腦震盪,但他相信實際數字要大得多。
"That I know of, three, four, maybe," Favre said in the interview when asked how many times he had been concussed. "There's a term that is often used in football, and maybe in other sports, that I got 'dinged.'
「據我所知,也許有三、四次,」法夫爾在接受採訪時被問到有多少次腦震盪時說道。 「有一個詞在足球中經常使用,也許在其他運動中也經常使用,那就是我被『叮了』。
"When you have ringing of the ears, seeing stars, that's a concussion. If that is a concussion, I've had hundreds, probably thousands throughout my career, which is frightening."
「當你耳鳴、看到星星時,那就是腦震盪。如果那是腦震盪,那麼在我的職業生涯中,我已經有過數百次,可能有數千次,這太可怕了。”
Parkinson's is a degenerative disease that erodes motor functions. Typical symptoms include shaking, rigidity and difficulty walking. In advanced stages, depression, anxiety and dementia are also common.
帕金森氏症是一種侵蝕運動功能的退化性疾病。典型症狀包括顫抖、僵硬和行走困難。在晚期階段,憂鬱、焦慮和失智症也很常見。
According to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, about 10 million people worldwide are afflicted with the disease.
據帕金森氏症基金會稱,全世界約有 1000 萬人患有這種疾病。
Favre said in 2018 he was unsure whether he suffers from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the condition at the center of the NFL's $1.2 billion 2013 concussion settlement, which cannot be diagnosed in living people.
法夫爾在 2018 年表示,他不確定自己是否患有慢性創傷性腦病 (CTE),這種疾病是 NFL 2013 年 12 億美元腦震盪和解協議的核心疾病,但無法在活人身上進行診斷。
However he revealed he has suffered symptoms, such as short-term memory loss and occasional speech difficulties.
但他透露,他患有短期記憶喪失和偶爾言語困難等症狀。
"Simple words that normally would come out easy in a conversation, I'll stammer," Favre said at the time.
「在談話中通常很容易說出的簡單單詞,我會結巴,」法夫爾當時說道。
"Yeah, I forgot my keys and they were in my hand. Where are my glasses, and they're on your head. You know, I wonder if that's what it is. Or do I have early stages of CTE? I don't know."
「是的,我忘記了鑰匙,它們在我手裡。我的眼鏡在哪裡,它們在你的頭上。你知道,我想知道這是否就是這樣。或者我是否患有早期慢性創傷性腦病?我不知道”我不知道。”
