Since Yao Ming mastered English, Colin Pine has disappeared from Chinese sight. How is he doing now? When Yao Ming travels in the NBA, having an excellent translator around him will be of great help to his career. To some extent, Colin Pine played a key role in Yao Ming's rapid integration into the NBA cultural circle. Athletes, especially star athletes, should be good at dealing with the media. When Yao Ming first came to the United States, most American media were skeptical about Yao Ming, so witty remarks easily narrowed the distance between Yao Ming and the media and fans.
Yao Ming is a humorous and intelligent person. At that time, many of his thoughts and words had to be expressed through Colin Pine, which tested Colin Pine's proficiency in switching between Chinese and English and his professional ability to deeply understand Chinese and American cultures. I have to say, Colin Pine did a good job. It is worth mentioning that the development of domestic big-name players Wang, Yi Jianlian and Bater who landed in the NBA at the same time as Yao Ming is generally not ideal, for many reasons, one of which is the lack of a translator who can convey his thoughts very accurately.
Of course, the player's own strength and personality are the fundamental reasons, but imagine that if Yao Ming had a translator who only knew how to read words, then Yao Ming would not be so easily loved by the American people. Colin Pine was deeply trusted by Yao Ming, and his translation work lasted for three years. Colin Pine is undoubtedly a very lucky man. Working for Yao Ming, the salary will definitely not be low. Moreover, through Yao Ming, he also let China fans know him. Besides, he is only 28 years old, so he became famous at a young age. At that time, Colin Pine could earn $5,000 a month from Yao Ming. As a translator, and almost 20 years ago, this salary standard was quite enviable.
In addition, Colin Pine had the advantage of landing on the moon first, and he got many souvenirs signed by Yao Ming. If we hold an auction of celebrity products now, these things will be valuable. Did you lose your job after Ming mastered English? The answer is of course no. Yao Ming did not mistreat Colin Pine, and directly recommended him as the exclusive translator for his parents. It's been years.
20 1 1, Yao Ming returned to China for development, and he helped Colin Pine find a suitable job in NBA China. Since then, Colin Pine has been living a very happy life in China. In a word, you will have a good life with Yao Ming. The friendship between Colin Pine and Yao Ming is really enviable.
