※ [本文转录自 NBA 看板 #1ONXJEQU ] 作者: RonArtest93 (阿福嫂) 看板: NBA 标题: [花边] 时间: Sat Dec 24 14:25:14 2016 SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- At times, having emotions on full display causes DeMarcus Cousins trouble. But not on Monday night at a Sacramento superstore -- because the emotion was all love at his annual Santa Cuz event. 每个晚上，Cousins 总是在帮对手或自己在场上找麻烦。 但今日在沙加缅度的superstore ，麻烦化身成为爱 这是他每年的例行活动，圣诞CUZ的慈善购物活动。 Five years ago, Cousins began hosting the Santa Cuz holiday event to help underprivileged families in Sacramento and his hometown of Mobile, Alabama. In each location, he gives 100 kids a $200 gift certificate apiece to use for a Christmas shopping spree. Cousins' mother, Monique, hosted the Alabama event last week. Cousins says participating kids have come up to him years later to tell him thank you. 五年前，Cousins 开始举办关於圣诞节免费招待贫困孩童到商店购物的活动 分两个地方，一个是他所属球队Sacramento ，另一个是他的家乡Alabama 各别招待100位小孩每人200镁让他们疯狂购物 上周，在Alabama，Cousins 的母亲已经代他举行完今年度的活动 Cousins 说许多孩子在多年之後还特别对他表示了感谢 On Monday in Sacramento, the 6-foot-11, 270-pound Cousins arrives in a Santa Cuz T-shirt and sits in a chair in the electronics department to kick off the event. In front of him is a line of the lucky chosen children with unlucky circumstances -- shopping carts filled with presents purchased with their gift certificates. 这位6-11,270磅的大个，在商店前化身为圣诞装扮，为活动揭开序幕 等在他身後是一长排排队的幸运的孩子们，他们的购物车上装满了 满满的用活动礼卷采购的礼物 "I don't know what to tell him. I'm kind of nervous," Chris Turner, 10, from Sacramento says as he waits. 一位在等待的十岁的男孩说:『恩 我不知道碰到Cousins 时要跟他说甚麽，我有点紧张』 "It's about every kid in the line," says Cousins. "That's the whole purpose of having it, to touch every kid and make their day better. Make them feel special." Cousins:『这是为队伍里每位孩子举办的活动，让每一个孩子的生活更好，这就是我想 做的全部。给他们惊喜。』 Cousins lavishes time on them, taking pictures with them, and asking each kid what they purchased and why amongst other things, before having a picture taken with them. Cousins和每一位孩子合照，并且询问他们买了甚麽。他愿意花时间在这群孩子身上。 "There was one little girl who bought pampers for her baby sister," Cousins says. "It's a kid. You don't expect them to think about things like that. Another kid bought supplies for the house: bed sheets, pillows, lamps. ... You don't expect that from kids, especially at Christmas. It shows you how much character these young kids have. 『一位姐姐为她的宝宝小妹买了帮宝适止尿裤』Cousins说到: 『另一个买了一些必需品，像床单，枕头，灯具这些 我的意思是，我完全没预料到孩子们会买这些东西。 这表示这群孩子很有自己的性格。』 "It does [break my heart]. But I'm also impressed at the same time. I appreciate it. We're good. We got good kids coming up. It's impressive." 、 『这让我心碎，因为表示他们的生活很辛苦。但另一方面，这让我感恩。我们做的好 我们带来的是一群懂事的孩子。』 As the Kings' franchise player, Cousins has a rare well-rounded game at center and is a two-time NBA All-Star. He also is known to wear his heart on his sleeve. He has had his share of issues speaking his mind to the media, coaches, team personnel and referees. Off the court, he transforms into one of the most generous and caring players in the NBA. "Seeing the people smile" he says, "seeing the joy on their faces. This is definitely what Christmas is about." Cousins ，众所周知是联盟里最直白的球员，总是与他的教练、媒体、队友及裁判 有过许多争议。但是在场下，他其实是一个慷慨解囊与参与慈善活动的球员。 『看看他们脸上的笑容』 他说到: 『这绝对是圣诞节!』 Cousins once purchased a car for a Sacramento family in need after the father died in a motorcycle accident. He hosted 13-year-old Jonathan Harris, who has a rare form of spinal cancer, in a 25-person suite at a Kings game last season. Cousins paid for the funeral of Grant Union (Sacramento) High School football player Jaulon Clavo, a 17-year-old who was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in November 2015. Cousins hosted town hall meetings with law enforcement and city officials in Sacramento and Mobile this year. And on Jan. 5, he is hosting a star-studded comedy show in Sacramento with all proceeds going to charity. 上个赛季，一位男孩的父亲在一场摩托车交通事故中丧生 他为这个家庭添购了一台汽车。 他免费招待了一位患有脊髓癌的男孩 Jonathan Harris入住 饭店的特等套房。 他义务支付了Sacramento的一位被射杀的年轻运动员Jaulon Clavo的丧礼费用。 今年他与执法单位及市政代表举办座谈会，坐下来谈枪只管制及族群相关的议题。 今年初他在Sacramento举办了一个喜剧表演节目，活动收入全部捐给慈善团体。 "I know I can change somebody's life," Cousins says. "It may be a small thing, but I'm going to do what I can. I'm just doing my part. 『我知道我能改变某些人的人生，也许我可以做的不多，但我尽我所能，我做好我 能尽力的部份。』 "This is something we thought of a while back. It's been going good ever since." 『这些我们帮助过的个案，後来情况都有越加好转』 Cousins says his goal with Santa Cuz is to help "build back" Sacramento and Mobile the best he can. "I wanted to find a way to help," Cousins explains. "I have a weak area for kids that are 15 and younger. I am just trying to do my part to help out these families, these kids. Put smiles on their faces. Whatever I can do." 『我对15岁以下的孩子很容易心软，特别是这些并不富裕的家庭。我能做的就是 做那些我能力范围的帮忙。让他们开心，这是我能做的。』 Cousins says that once he was "one of those kids." The 2016 Rio Olympics gold medalist was born to a single mom, a nurse, who worked to raise two boys and four girls. DeMarcus says his mom struggled to make ends meet, and when Christmas came around, he felt fortunate if he got just one of the presents he asked Santa for. Cousins 出身在一个单身家庭，他的母亲是一位护士 很努力的拉拔两个男孩和四个女孩长大。 Cousins 还小时，母亲时常为了家里的生计而陷入挣扎。 问他如果只有一个圣诞愿望，他会许甚麽愿? Cousins 说: "I didn't get every toy, every shoe. I didn't," Cousins says. "But I spent it with my family. I'm big on family. I was raised up spending every one with my entire family, my brothers, my sisters and my mom. My mom did it to the best of her ability. She made it very special for us. We knew what the situation was. We were still grateful." 『我没有想要甚麽鞋子、玩具甚麽的。但我希望让家人拥有这些 我是家庭主义至上的人。我尽力提昇我们家人，弟弟、妈妈、姐姐们的生活 我的母亲在她的人生中努力养育我们，尽了她的全力。 她为我们的付出，我们至今铭记在心。特别是我们知道从前家里面困顿的情况 对此，我们该更加感恩。』 =========================================================================== http://tinyurl.com/jxdf8vh 连结内有影片，很温馨。 这则新闻的最後也解释了为什麽上周表弟在被记者问到弟弟事情的时候整个情绪 失控，对他而言，家人的福祉是他的生命。 影片支援: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WsBGHMMWlA 当然这样的行为还是不好，只因为被写了一篇关於家人的报导就喷记者 的确是太防卫过当了，希望他可以越来越成长，不只对小孩也好 对大人也和善。 人的改变，的确需要的是时间。但还是肯定他的善行~ --
