（单词翻译）

 　　The NBA season is only weeks away, and though there were a lot of changes this summer, most of the teams at the top remain the same. Every team is hopeful in preseason, but only a handful have realistic odds1 of a championship and even those are slight versus2 the Golden State Warriors3.

　　有几周新赛季就将拉开大幕。尽管这个休赛期并不平静，但顶级强队还是那几家。虽然在季前赛很多球队都展现了一定的竞争力，但真正有实力争夺总冠军的屈指可数。而在他们之中，金州勇士又是鹤立鸡群的那支球队。
　　Our first power rankings of the year begin with a four-part look at the different tiers of NBA teams—starting with the title contenders:
　　我们今年的第一份权力榜将把30支球队分成四档，首先是第一档，即总冠军争夺者：
　　1.Golden State Warriors
　　金州勇士
　　For most of last season, the Golden State Warriors seemed inevitable4. Seventy-three regular season wins weren’t impossible; they were a birthright. An NBA championship seemed a mere5 formality.
　　在上赛季大部分时间里，金州勇士都处于无敌状态。他们闲庭信步般豪取73胜，冠军似乎已是囊中之物，季后赛不过是走走过场。
　　NBA总冠军
　　So, even after a brilliant offseason partnered the reigning6 two-time MVP (Stephen Curry) with the previous one (Kevin Durant)—somehow upgrading the Warriors already considerable top end talent.
　　勇士的休赛期运作令人难忘，他们成功挖来前MVP得主凯文-杜兰特，让他和近两年MVP得主斯蒂芬-库里组成搭档，看起来原本就实力超群的勇士似乎已经不是地球人可以阻挡的了。
　　the preseason is still too early to move this group atop the all-time hierarchy7 of NBA teams.
　　尽管从季前赛能得到的信息很有限，但勇士的夺冠可能性无疑是最大的。
　　But these Warriors certainly present more possibilities than any other we’ve ever seen. By comparison, the offseason that joined LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade8 was similarly potent9, but—the uniqueness of James aside—in a more traditional way.
　　当年热火凑齐三巨头的时候也是尽显冠军相，但勇士的这次操作显然更令人兴奋（当然詹姆斯是独一无二的）。
　　A dynamic point guard who combines unparalleled accuracy with infinite range, perhaps the best shooting wing pairing in NBA history and a power forward who can defend all five positions, space the floor and work as the primary playmaker.
　　一个投篮神准、射程近乎无限的控卫；一个可能是史上最强的侧翼投手；一个能防守五个位置、可以拉开空间、并且担当进攻发起者的大前锋。
　　The skill sets from each position are so far off the map that even Don Nelson in his prime tripping on acid couldn’t have dreamed this group up.
　　当初没有人想到这套阵容会有这么大的威力，即便是“疯狂科学家”老尼尔森在他的实验室里也不一定能调制出这样的组合。
