　　Good morning, and thank you for joining me. Many of you in this room are my friends. Many of you in this room know me. Many of you have cheered for me or you’ve worked with me or you’ve supported me。
　　早上好，感谢大家光临。在这里的各位很多都是我的朋友，你们中的许多人了解我、或为我欢呼或与我一共工作，又或支持我。
　　Now every one of you has good reason to be critical of me. I want to say to each of you, simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior. I engaged in。
　　现在你们每一个人都有充分的理由来谴责我。我想毫不避讳的对你们每一个人说，对我曾作出的自私和不负责任的行为我感到非常抱歉。
　　I know people want to find out how I could be so selfish and so foolish. People want to know how I could have done these things to my wife Elin and to my children. And while I have always tried to be a private person, there are some things I want to say。
　　我知道人们都想知道为何我会如此自私和愚蠢。人们想知道我怎么能对我的妻子艾琳和孩子们作出这样的事情。我一直努力将此视为私人问题，在这里我有一些事情需要说明。
　　Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form. of words; it will come from my behavior. over time. We have a lot to discuss; however, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us。
　　艾琳和我已开始讨论因我的行为所造成的破坏。正如艾琳向我指出的，我真正的忏悔不在于语言，而在于我今后的行动。我们有很多讨论，但我们说的话讲仅限于彼此知晓。
　　I am also aware of the pain my behavior. has caused to those of you in this room. I have let you down, and I have let down my fans. For many of you, especially my friends, my behavior. has been a personal disappointment. To those of you who work for me, I have let you down personally and professionally. My behavior. has caused considerable worry to my business partners。
　　同时我也意识到了我的行为给在座的各位带来了伤害。我让你们失望了，我辜负了我的球迷。对于很多人，特别是我的朋友们，我的行为是个人的伤害。对那些为我工作的人，在个人和工作上都受到了伤害。我的行为给我的商业伙伴造成了相当大的麻烦。
　　To everyone involved in my foundation, including my staff, board of directors, sponsors, and most importantly, the young students we reach, our work is more important than ever. Thirteen years ago, my dad and I envisioned helping young people achieve their dreams through education. This work remains unchanged and will continue to grow. From the Learning Center students in Southern California to the Earl Woods scholars in Washington, D.C., millions of kids have changed their lives, and I am dedicated to making sure that continues。
　　对我基金会的每个人而言，包括工作人员，董事，赞助商，特别是我们教育的青年学生，我们的工作比以往更加重要。13年前，我父亲和我期望可以帮助青少年通过教育实现他们的梦想。这项工作不会改变并会发展壮大。从在南加利福尼亚州学习中心的学生到华盛顿厄尔-伍兹学校的学生，数以百万计的孩子们通过教育改变了他们的生活，我将继续致力于这一事业。
　　But still, I know I have bitterly disappointed all of you. I have made you question who I am and how I could have done the things I did. I am embarrassed that I have put you in this position。
　　不过，我仍然知道我让大家心寒。我让你们对我这个人和我所作的事情都产生了疑问。为你们带来这样的困扰我感到尴尬。
　　For all that I have done, I am so sorry。
　　对我所做的一切我感到深深的抱歉。
　　I have a lot to atone for, but there is one issue I really want to discuss. Some people have speculated that Elin somehow hurt or attacked me on Thanksgiving night. It angers me that people would fabricate a story like that. Elin never hit me that night or any other night. There has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage, ever. Elin has shown enormous grace and poise throughout this ordeal. Elin deserves praise, not blame。
　　我在很多方面需要赎罪，在这里有一个问题我很想说一下。有些人猜测说艾琳在感恩节的那个晚上伤害和攻击了我。人们编造这样的谎话让我感到愤怒。艾琳在那晚或任何一晚都没有追打过我。在我们的婚姻中从未出现过家庭暴力事件。面对这个磨难，艾琳已经表明了她的魅力和风度。艾琳值得赞扬而不是被指责。
　　The issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did is not acceptable, and I am the only person to blame。
　　这里涉及的问题是我多次不负责任的行为。我的不忠、欺骗，我所做的这些让人无法接受，我是唯一一个需要被谴责的人。
　　I stopped living by the core values that I was taught to believe in. I knew my actions were wrong, but I convinced myself that normal rules didn’t apply. I never thought about who I was hurting. Instead, I thought only about myself. I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn’t have to go far to find them。
　　我违背了所信仰的核心价值观 。我知道我的行为是错误的，但是我说服自己说，可以不计常理。我没有想到被我伤害的人而是只想到了自己。我超越了已婚人士应该遵守的界限。我以为不论做了什么都可以逃脱。我感到自己一生都在努力工作，理应享受周围的一切诱惑。金钱和名利让我感到自己有权利这样。
　　I was wrong. I was foolish. I don’t get to play by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me. I brought this shame on myself. I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife’s family, my friends, my foundation, and kids all around the world who admired me。
　　我错了，我很愚蠢。我没有权利按不同的规矩行事。适用于大家的准则也适用于我。我自取其辱。我伤害了我的妻子、孩子、我母亲、我妻子的家人、我的朋友、同事和以我为榜样的所有孩子。
　　I’ve had a lot of time to think about what I’ve done. My failures have made me look at myself in a way I never wanted to before. It’s now up to me to make amends, and that starts by never repeating the mistakes I’ve made. It’s up to me to start living a life of integrity。
　　我花了很多时间思考自己的所作所为。我的错误使我以一种不同以往的方式重新审视自己。现在是做出弥补的时候了，首先要做的就是不再重复错误。是时候开始一个全新的生活了。
　　I once heard, and I believe it’s true, it’s not what you achieve in life that matters; it’s what you overcome. Achievements on the golf course are only part of setting an example. Character and decency are what really count。考试大论坛
　　我曾听说，生命中重要的不是你获得了什么而是你克服了什么，我坚信这一点。我在球场上获得的成就只是生活的一部分。人品和风度才是真正重要的。
