※ [本文转录自 NBA 看板 #1KX4wAYS ] 作者: buichcmu (佚肥不了) 看板: NBA 标题: [外絮] Magic称赞LBJ的社会评论 时间: Sun Dec 7 20:56:39 2014 TORONTO -- Decades after he started to become known just as much as an advocate for AIDS and HIV awareness as he was for being a basketball player, Magic Johnson challenged today's athletes to use their platform to take up a cause. 在从篮球选手变成推动爱滋防范运动的代言人之後 MAGIC呼吁今天的运动员们用他们的影响力来影响社会 And he commended LeBron James for doing just that. "They have to get involved socially," Johnson said Friday at The Giant of Africa, a benefit organized by Toronto Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri to honor the late former South African president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela on the first anniversary of his death. "They have to because it affects them, too. And it affects their families. They grew up in these situations; they must not forget that. They [were] once poor, they went to inner-city schools that didn't have technology or computers, they didn't have good books. See, I went through that whole situation. They went through that as well. A lot of their cousins are still going through that, so they must not forget that. I hope that they would do more. 他们必须参加这个社会 JOHNSON在星期五的一个由暴龙队主办的慈善晚宴上说 (这个晚宴是为了纪念前南非总统曼德拉逝世一周年) 他们必须要这麽做因为这个也会影响他们和他们的家人 他们在这种环境下长大 他们绝对不能忘记之前的情况 他们曾经贫穷 他们去市中心的学校上课 而这些学校通常没有科技产品或电脑 他们也没有好的教科书 看看 我经历了这一切 他们也是 他们的一些侄儿们也正在 所以他们绝对不能忘记那一切 我希望他们能做更多(慈善的事) "But you see LeBron. LeBron is a great example of doing a wonderful job. When this first came out, when you think about everything that he stood up for -- the Donald Sterling thing, when that mess happened, just now with these young people being shot down unarmed, he's been right out front, so I've got to give him a lot of credit. If he's out front being the best player, then the other guys usually follow the best guy." 但是你看看LBJ 他是一个绝佳的例子 当这一开始发生 当你想起他曾经站起来指责Donald Sterling(前快艇队老板 曾发表对黑人不当言论) 然後现在这些手无寸铁的黑人少年被击杀 他早就站出来了 所以 我必须要称赞她 如果站在前头的是像他这种顶尖球员 其他球员也会跟着效法的 On several occasions over the past two weeks, James has not shied away from questions about the social unrest stemming from the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Eric Garner in New York and 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland, which all came at the hands of police officers. 在过去两周不同的情况里 姆斯从来没有逃避回答关於最近的社会骚动的问题 (从Ferguson事件到Eric Garner还有Tamir Rice) 全部都是与警察大人有关的 "It's a sensitive subject right now," James said Thursday. "Violence is not the answer, and retaliation isn't the solution. As a society, we just have to do better. I pray for the families of the lost ones." 这现在是个敏感的话题 姆斯在星期四说 暴力不是答案 报复也不是解决方法 作为一个社会 我们必须要做得更好 我为那些失去亲人的家庭祈祷 Johnson also preached peace as the U.S. finds itself in a precarious situation, pointing to Mandela's work with race relations in South Africa as an example to follow. JOHNSON也提倡和平 特别当美国正在这个不安定的时刻要寻找方向 他也特别指出了曼德拉在族群关系所设下的典范值得美国去追随 "For us to change things, we have to get people to the table that can bring about change," Johnson said. "We've got to do it in a peaceful way. What Nelson was able to do was bring people, motivate people, educate people, and then go have them go out and be his ambassadors to bring about change. You see? That's what he was a master of. And so what we have to do in the States is do the same thing: bring about like-minded people who can bring about change. But not just lip service because we've had enough lip service. 如果我们要改变事情 我们必须要找到能改变事情的人 JOHNSON说 我们一直和平的在做这件事 曼德拉教育他们的人民 鼓动他们 然後让他们出去当传递他想法的使者 如此才能造成改变 你看到了吗 这就是他厉害的地方 所以我们必须要做同样的事 带着有一样想法的人们去改变事情 而不是一直键盘支持 因为我们已经有太多键盘支持了 "If it's just talk and [African-Americans] still stay suppressed and think that people don't care about them, then the same thing is going to happen. And so it's going to be important that these meetings take place and we can really bring about serious change because the distrust and the disconnect is huge. Make no mistake about it. It's bigger than we've seen on TV. Blacks don't think that they're ever going to get a fair shake; they think every time the police is coming, it's going to be trouble. And so we've got to really make sure we can bring about serious change on everybody's side. On minorities' side as well as the law enforcement side, as well as the government side. 'Cause everybody gotta come together on this thing." 如果我们只是讲讲而那些黑人依然受到压迫 然後他们会想根本没人在乎他 同样的事之後又会发生 所以这些活动很重要 因此我们可以做出重大改变 因为这个不信任和代沟非常深 千真万确 这比我们在电视上看到的更严重 黑人们总觉得他们总是受到不公平的对待 他们想着警察一来 肯定又要有麻烦了 所以我们必须确保能在每个人的身上都做出改变 不管是在少数族群或着法律上面 或政府上 因为每个人都在乎这件事 Johnson was one of several NBA dignitaries to attend, along with Charles Barkley, Dikembe Mutombo, Tracy McGrady and the league's deputy commissioner, Mark Tatum. The event included a $2,500-per-person entry fee to attend a private panel discussion with the special guests before the game, with proceeds supporting the Nelson Mandela Foundation and Ujiri's nonprofit organization, Giants of Africa, which uses basketball to educate and enrich the lives of youth in Africa. JOHNSON是少数几个参加这个活动的NBA知名人士 还有恶汉 木桶伯 T-MAC 还有NBA副总裁MARK TATUM 这个活动要交2500镁才能参加私人的小组讨论 这些钱全部都要捐给曼德拉基金会还有UJIEI的非营利机构 非洲的巨人 用篮球来教育和改善非洲的青年 "The world is not in a good place, in my opinion, and [Mandela] makes it better," Ujiri said, sharing that when he met Mandela face to face in 2006, it "changed everything" for the Nigeria native. "I think he's going to be bigger, even though he's passed. He was bigger than life." 我觉得这世界并不美好 但是曼德拉改善他了 他也分享他在2006年当面见到曼德拉 在一个帮助奈及利亚人民的活动 我想他正茁壮着 即使他已经过世了 他还是比生命更强壮 Johnson, Barkley, Mutombo and McGrady were greeted with standing ovations by the Air Canada Centre crowd during various timeouts throughout the Raptors' loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. JOHNSON 恶汉 木桶伯和T-MAC在暴龙主场被全场鼓掌迎接 在星期三输给骑士的比赛 "It's incredible," Ujiri said. "To see Magic, Dikembe, Charles, all these guys here, you can't ask for anything better, and they came just like that. ... Everybody has embraced it. It's touching for me." 能看到这些家伙同聚一堂真是不可思议 你不能再要求更多了 他们还是一样... 每个人都包容 这真的感动我 James called the Mandela event "bigger than basketball." "That's a man that not only represented his own homeland, [but] not only in America and here in Canada, he spoke volumes in all parts of the world," James said. "It just goes to show what one man can do by his voice's power, and for us to be able to celebrate him and the greatest game in the world, basketball, it was pretty cool." 姆斯也说这个活动更胜过篮球 这是一个不只代表他家乡的人(曼德拉) 而也在美国和加拿大 他在全世界说话都很有份量 姆斯说 这展现了一个人用他的声音能做的事 而对我们来说 能赞扬他还有这场伟大的比赛 这真是太酷了 Toronto coach Dwane Casey was impressed by his GM's vision for the event. "It's great," Casey said. "I think that is great for the community, for the cause, for what [Ujiri] stands for, for what's going on in the States right now, I think it says a lot that he can pull it off and have everyone come here and honor Nelson Mandela and what he stood for. I think it speaks a lot about the good in people and the good in mankind." 暴龙队教练Dwane Casey也对GM办这个活动的眼光非常激赏 这非常棒 CASEY说 我想这对社区很棒 对这个目标 对UJIRI想要代表的 对这个国家所正在发生的(黑人事件) 我想他在这个活动上所做的努力 然後让大家齐聚在这去纪念曼德拉 有着许多的意义 我想这代表了很多人心中的善念 Cavaliers coach David Blatt, no stranger to the cross section between sports and society having coached in the Middle East for years, said athletes can always have a greater impact than just in the games they play. 骑士总教练BLATT也不是对着个议题陌生的人(他曾在中东带队带了好几年) 也说运动员能有更大的影响力 而不只是在球赛上 "I've always felt that sports and sportsmen are amongst the great ambassadors for spreading goodwill and the right message," Blatt said. "Certainly, Nelson Mandela was a champion, if not the champion, for peace and for bringing people together and fostering understanding. [He was] an example for overcoming adversity and adhering to principles that are valuable to all of us, and he [was] an example to all of us." 我常常觉得运动和运动员 是最好传播善意和正确讯息的代表 BLATT说 确实 曼德拉是一个冠军 对於和平和团结人们及促进了解 他是一个打破对立和遵守原则的最佳典范 他的训示 是我们所有人都该学习的对象 Like Johnson, Blatt sees the significance of James speaking up. "First of all, LeBron, in addition to being one of the great basketball players of all time, is a man and a human being who has and should voice his opinion on issues that are of importance to him and importance to all of us," Blatt said. "And I admire him for it." 就像JOHNSON BLATT也看到了姆斯开口的重要性 第一 姆斯 除了是一个伟大的篮球员 也是一个有 而且必须开口说出对他切身相关 而且重要事情意见的人 BLATT说 而我赞赏他的行为 SOURCE:http://ppt.cc/AQby 姆斯有考虑跨足政治吗>< --
