||1:With Manna-da—third from left above—tall and strong in defence, newly independent India almost beat France at the London Olympic games in 1948.||2:Under his captaincy, it won its first international football gold medal at the Asian games in 1951.||3:For a very short while, in his time, it walked in the sun as a world-class footballing nation.And it walked barefoot, because, in those years, that was how Mr Manna and his colleagues played.

||1:1948年伦敦奥运会上，凭借后卫线上身高体壮的曼纳（图中左起第三），新近独立的印度险些击败法国。||2:在曼纳的带领下，印度又在1951年的亚运会上第一次在国际赛事中摘得足球项目的金牌。||3:虽然仅昙花一现，但印度也曾跻身国际足坛前列，头顶世界级强队的光环，而且可以说是赤脚打天下，因为在那个年代，曼纳和他的队友都是球场上的“赤脚大仙”。

||1: Myths gathered round that conversation. Some said Manna-da had told the princess that “Strength is in the mind.” ||2: Others said that the king, George VI, had made him roll up his trousers to see if his legs were made of steel. ||3: Later versions said that he had played in snow, and certainly he remembered he had at the next Olympics in Helsinki, where ice flakes had been shifted from the field before they played. ||4: By then, boots were compulsory; but several players still got frostbite as they lost 1-10 to Yugoslavia, even though it was July. ||5: And to his fans Manna-da seemed to play barefoot—agile, skilful and deadly on the free kicks—all through his career.

||1:关于曼纳和公主的谈话，民间有各种传言。有的说，曼纳告诉公主“是意志的力量”。||2: 其他版本说，英王乔治六世（George VI）让曼纳卷起裤管，要看看他的腿是不是钢做的。 ||3:之后发展的说法是，曼纳在雪地里踢过球。他当然记得芬兰赫尔辛基（Helsinki）1952年奥运会，但是比赛之前先要除掉球场上的雪。||4:那时候，上场比赛必须穿球鞋了。他们1比10输给了当时的南斯拉夫（Yugoslavia）。虽然正值7月，但是曼纳好几个队友一场比赛下来还是得了冻疮。||5:曼纳的球迷普遍认为他一生都是赤脚踢球的，而他的任意球更是灵活熟练，足以给对手致命一击。

||1:His feet were a metaphor for other virtues.||2:He played carefully, like a gentleman.||3:In a 20-year career he was never booked, never swore, and fouled no one.||4:As captain, he did not raise his voice to players.||5:He disciplined by example, and would refuse to take food before they had eaten theirs.||6:Though he seldom let opponents past him, he was good friends with them off the pitch—even if they played for MB’s great local rival, East Bengal.||7:He had no enemies.||8:On one occasion the Border Security Force team so hobbled Mohun Bagan with vicious tackling in the drawn semi-final of the Durand Cup that MB could not take the field for the replay.||9:Manna-da calmed down the furious crowd of 20,000 who had come to see the game, and then wished BSF good luck for the final.

||1:他的双脚也是他诸多美德的象征。||2:他在球场上谨慎小心，像个绅士。||3:20年的足球生涯中，他从来没有受到裁判的警告，从不骂骂咧咧，更从不犯规。||4:身为队长，他从不大声呵斥队友。||5:他严于律己，以身作则，在队中总是最后一个吃饭。||6:他很少让对手轻易过人，但是在场下他和很多球员都是好朋友，包括莫罕巴干的头号劲敌东孟加拉队（East Bengal）的球员们。||7:他没有敌人。||8:有一次在杜兰杯（Durand Cup）抽签决定的半决赛中赛中，边防保安队（Border Security Force）队凭着恶意攻击，让莫罕巴干队个个一瘸一拐不能上场重新比赛，激起了全场观众的愤怒。||9:曼纳平息了两万名观众的怒火，并绅士般地祝对手决赛好运。

||1:THE game of football regularly produces playboys, celebrities, racists, billionaires, fashion models and spoilt brats.||2:What it does not produce is saints; with one exception.||3:When Sailen Manna died, 2,000 people followed his body to the Keoratala burning ghat in Kolkata, on the banks of the Hooghly river that flows out of the Ganges.||4:They acknowledged they had lost rather more than a decent player.

||1:足球这项运动往往让人联想到花花公子、时尚名流、种族主义者、亿万富翁、时装模特和纨绔子弟。||2:在圣者寥寥的足球场上，赛伦·曼纳（Sailen Manna）却是个例外。||3:他去世后，两千人簇拥着他的遗体，陪伴他从加尔各答顺着恒河支流胡格利（Hooghly）河畔，送他到Keoratala陵园。||4:对于送葬者而言，他们失去的远不止一名令人尊敬的球员。
