前英格兰队队长贝克汉姆将在季末退役。38岁的小贝在今年1月与巴黎圣日耳曼签订了五个月的合同，并将自己的薪资全部捐给了慈善机构。 Beckham made 115 appearances for England and 394 for Manchester United, winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League. 小贝代表英格兰队出场115次，代表曼联俱乐部出场394次，六次获得英超联赛和欧冠联赛冠军。 Here, in his statement released today, Beckham talks about his decision to retire from playing. 在他今天发布的声明中，小贝说明了他退役的决定。 Im thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level. “我非常感谢巴黎圣日耳曼给我继续征战绿茵场的机会，但是我觉得现在是结束我职业生涯的最佳时机，在最高水平的联赛当中。” If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy.

Im honoured to represent England both on and off the pitch. “直到这一天，我最骄傲的成就是成为英格兰队的队长。我知道当我每一次穿上三狮军团的战袍，我不仅仅是一名球员，我代表的是关心着英格兰的每一个球迷。我很荣幸能够成为英格兰队的代表，无论是场内还是场外。” I wouldnt have achieved what I have done today without my family. Im grateful for my parents sacrifice, which made me realise my dreams.

I also want to thank th
