今天早上我们收到了一个坏消息。昨晚客场战胜了黄蜂后，我们连夜回到了休斯顿，大前锋卡尔－兰德里在从机场回家的途中，他的车辆遭到了两名武装歹徒的枪击。万幸的是，卡尔只是小腿受轻伤，手指托臼。很庆幸，这次枪击没有造成更严重的后果。听说卡尔已经出院，这让我松了一口气。

卡尔是我认识的人中最和善的一个，他人很好。有人居然要枪击他，这简直没有道理。卡尔当时下飞机后只是想出去吃点东西。我不知道更多的细节，不过我很高兴一会儿就能见到卡尔。

有人问这件事情对我有什么影响。我不想把这件事情和我们的球员身份联系起来。健康、家庭和友谊都比比赛的输赢重要得多。我不需要今天早上的这起事件来提醒我这一切。尽管这么说，今天早上离开家前往训练场时，我会给妻儿一个特殊的拥抱和亲吻。这对我来说是眼下最重要的事情。

回见，

肖恩

原文如下——

We received some disturbing news this morning. After a great win against New Orleans in New Orleans, we returned home late last night. While our power forward Carl Landry was coming home from the airport, his car was shot at by two armed men. Thankfully, Carl only suffered a flesh wound in his calf and a dislocated finger. The outcome of the shooting could have been much, much worse. I am thankful and relieved that Carl has been released from the hospital already.

Carl is one of the nicest people I know, he is just a good person. It is senseless that someone would try to shoot him. Carl was only trying to get something to eat after our plane ride. I don't know all of the details yet, but it will be good to see Carl.

People ask me if this brings a sense of perspective to me. I try not to get caught up in our job as basketball players. Ultimately, things like health, family, and friends are much more important than the games that we win or lose. I don't need an episode like this morning's situation to remind me of that. With that said though, I will give my wife and my son an extra hug and kiss before I go to the gym today. Now that's what's important to me.

Talk to you soon,

Shane
