Im small, and at times, I can be unassuming and meek. Like Yang, Im not always so comfortable in my own skin. But there was some gravity in Jeremy Lins performance against the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night. Every single one of his possessions had me on the floor, overwhelmed with pride and unfiltered elation. Id never screamed so loud, and itd been a long time since a single game moved me to tears. Whether its been officially bestowed upon him or not, Jeremy Lin carries the hopes and dreams of entire Asian generations on his shoulders. I struggle to think of another moment where we as a community had been so proud of who we are.可能你从我的姓氏中 已经可以看出来，我是一个亚裔美国人。我很小只，而且有时我很不张扬、很温顺。和Wesley Yang（前文引述的一名亚裔美国作者）一样，我对我黄皮肤的肤色并不总是觉得很自在自如。但是这个周五的晚上，在林书豪对阵洛杉矶湖人对的比赛中，我感 受到一种引力。他的每一次触球都会让我情不自禁的站起来，并且心中充满着自豪感和毫无修饰的激动。我从未叫喊得如此声嘶力竭，我也记不得自己上一次为一场 体育比赛而落泪是什么时候。无论是否已经被大家强加到他身上，林书豪的肩膀上承载了几代亚裔美国人的希望和梦想。我很难再想出来另一个这样的历史瞬间：我 们作为一整个社群，因为我们是亚裔而如此自豪。 No one really knows what to expect from Lin anymore. What was supposed to be a comedown game against the Lakers became something miraculous. We dont know how long he can keep this up, and for the many (myself included) who have been somewhat skeptical of this run, his play continues to suspend our doubt, almost force-feeding us reasons to believe. Perhaps the most tantalizing reason is Lins probing of the lanes, providing us an almost unfair tease given the personnel around him and the image that conjures. Of course, hed be taking cues from another unheralded point guard whose unlikely background made opportunities scarce.已经没有人 知道应该对林书豪有怎样的期待了。本该是一场一边倒的比赛（对阵湖人），变成了一个奇迹。我们不知道林书豪能够继续这样的表现多久；但对于所有在过去的这 段时间里对他存有多多少少的怀疑的人们（包括我在内），他的表现一次又一次地让我们的怀疑无疾而终，几乎是用各种事实的证据逼着我们去相信他。
