标题: [花边] Z-BO,感受幸福的方式

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The friendly smile that Memphis Grizzlies power forward
Zach Randolph flashes as he hands out Christmas turkey dinners, along with
hugs, handshakes and encouraging words, masks fresh pain. He sees his mother,
Mae, in the eyes of many of the women who come through the line in the
Hamilton High School gym on the city's rough south side.
带着招牌笑容,亲自为每一位社区民众发送火鸡餐点,Z-BO正为着一年一度
的圣诞节火鸡晚宴餐会忙碌着。
事实上,Z-BO 以发送圣诞节大餐,与人拥抱、互相鼓励来忘记丧母之痛。
他在这些被他帮助的人群中,发现他母亲的慈爱。
"Man, I swear I do. I do, man," Randolph tells ESPN, sitting in the gym
bleachers after the line dies down. "Seeing these older women like that,
seeing how they appreciate it, you can tell. It means a lot, man. It makes me
think of my mother. She's here with me in spirit, and I know she's smiling
because this is what she wants me doing."
『在这里,与这些年长的妇女一起渡过耶诞节,这对我来说很有意义。
这让我觉得我与母亲同在,我知道她在天上也为我(如此做)而骄傲。』
Mae probably would have been right next to her son during his annual food
drive had she not passed away on Thanksgiving. Randolph's extensive charity
work to help the poor communities in Memphis and his hometown of Marion,
Ind., made his mother more proud than all of his points and rebounds.
Randolph广泛的做慈善事业帮助Memphis 贫困的社区还有回馈家乡 Marion.Indiana
这些慈善付出比他在篮球场上的篮板球或得分记录更加令她母亲
觉得骄傲。
All NBA players do some charity work, at least the team-mandated appearances.
Few, if any, do as much as Randolph, who frequently pitches the Grizzlies'
community relations staff with ideas. For example, Randolph heard about
people freezing to death during a particularly harsh winter seven years ago
and pledged $20,000 to Memphis Light, Gas and Water to cover unpaid utility
payments. He's done the same every winter since.
有些球队的球员做慈善,是球团强制的服务工作
但对Z-BO而言,他是Grizzlies社区连系、举办活动的发起人
举例来说: 他听闻Memphis 七年前一场特别的寒冬,造成冻死的事件
他想避免悲剧重演,於是他认捐了两万美元给Memphis 的冬用公共
事业开销(如天然气、热水、照明)费用
他每年冬天都做同样的事情。
Why? Because Randolph knew how it felt to shiver in a home without heat.
Z-BO知道冬天家中缺乏这些必要资源会带给人不安。
"Hell, yeah!" said Randolph, chuckling. "But when I think about my mama,
though, if my mama had to borrow some money to make sure them lights didn't
go off before she got her check on the first of the month, she borrowed
money. My mama never let us go without. She did what she had to do to make
sure we was good in whatever hood we stayed in, whatever block, whatever
small house.
『没有照明的家庭如同地狱一样,但是我们家从来不曾如此,我的母亲向来都是
月初事先检查家中的照明设备是否正常运作,如果不灵光,即使她还没到发薪日
她也会借些钱去修理好它。她这麽做使的我们从小无论住在哪里‧从不缺乏温暖』
"She kept food on the table and kept a roof over our head. It might not have
been the best of it, the best house or whatever, but she did the best she
could. If the lights was off, they'd only be off for a day because my mama
was gonna find a way to get the lights back on for her kids."
『她会把食物准备好放在桌上,并且在我们居住的地方加盖一个屋顶
这也许不是甚麽最好的房子,但她尽可能提供我们所需,如果家里灯又坏了
我们会先过一天没有光的日子,但我母亲一定会想办法尽快修复它。』
His mama, a single mother raising two boys in a rough neighborhood, was never
shy about seeking help. Randolph remembers waking up every Sunday morning
with his younger brother, Roger, and running down to the Salvation Army to
get in the soup kitchen line. He remembers getting holiday dinners from the
church mission, and receiving jeans and shoes and underwear as gifts after
having his name picked off a Christmas tree.
单亲家庭的背景、独立在贫困社区带着孩子们求生存
母亲从Z-BO小时候就告诉他与他的弟弟别害羞向人求助
Z-BO记得每个星期天他都会带着弟弟到基督教救世军单位
去排队领免费的汤喝
他记得从教会得到假日晚餐,
在他的名字字卡从一棵圣诞树被挑出来,他得到牛仔裤和鞋子。
"Damn right! You don't think we did?" Randolph said. "Every Christmas tree,
every basket, we was trying to get it. We came up in the struggle. That's
what goes on when you come up from poverty, come up from nothing.
"I'm used to that. I know about that. I come from that. I can relate to it."
Z-BO说:『我习惯这样的事。这是我出身的一部份。』
『当你从贫穷家庭长大,每一个概念都是从无到有。』
That's why Randolph takes so much pride in helping the poor, such as teaming
up with Grizzlies shooting guard Tony Allen to take 200 kids on a Toys R Us
shopping spree to working with the Memphis Police Department to donate coats
to an entire economically disadvantaged elementary school. Randolph hopes to
make charity work his primary focus when he retires, preferably in a position
with the Grizzlies.
这就是为什麽Z-BO对帮助穷人们感到非常自豪
例如他与Tony Allen带了二百个小朋友到玩具城疯狂购物
例如他与Memphis 警局合作,为经济状况差的小学捐赠外衣。
Z-BO希望在退休时,让慈善工作成为他事业的主要焦点,最好是在与灰熊同一阵线进行。
Randolph treasures the personal connections he makes in the community, some
of which have turned into long-lasting relationships. He keeps in touch with
a few dozen "young boys," as he calls them, exchanging occasional texts and
calls, encouraging them to focus on academics as their path out of poverty.
Z-BO珍惜他与社区中每个人的关系,其中有一些已经变成长期的关系。
他与几十个年轻男孩保持交流,定期发讯息和电话给他们,告诉他们
摆脱贫穷的方式就是接受高等教育,鼓励这些年轻人完成学业。
Several of those kids, Hamilton High basketball players, assisted in last
week's food drive, carrying baskets for some of the women who were too frail
to haul away their turkey dinners. They were joined by Randolph's 18-year-old
son, Zachariah, who was visiting from Indiana for the holidays.
"This is what it's all about," said Randolph, turning to his son after
getting a big hug and heartfelt thanks from one woman and her young son.
"This is where you receive your blessings from."
其中一些孩子是Hamilton高中的篮球队员。他们帮忙运送火鸡晚餐给那些身体虚弱
无法自己领取餐点的妇女。Z-BO的18岁儿子也一起参与父亲发起的这些活动。
在与一对接受帮助的母子来个大拥抱与彼此互相道谢之後
Z-BO转身告诉自己的儿子:
『看,这就是你感受到幸福的方式。』
