Cleary NBA star Dikembe Mutombo is a millionaire. He could be anyplace on Earth doing whatever he wanted. He chose to go home and build a hospital. 木桶柏是个百万富翁了 有这些钱可以干很多事 他选择盖医院在老家 Mutombo, the former Georgetown University star and eight-time NBA All-Star, attended the grand opening last week of the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital in Kinshasa, Congo. It was built by the charity foundation he established. Charlie Burke of Elmira, who was with Mutombo at the hospital's groundbreaking three years ago, was there to see it dedicated. 木桶柏之前是乔治城大学明星 也入选过8次NBA All-Star 参加了在他老家刚果的医院开幕 这医院是靠他建立的慈善基金盖的 Charlie Burke三年前跟木桶柏一起奉献心力去盖的 "It was a really wonderful, wonderful time," said Burke, a vice president at Swift Glass Co. in Elmira Heights. Burke说那是段很棒的时光 他是Elmira一间玻璃公司总裁 Burke was Mutombo's first roommate at Georgetown. Back then, Mutombo was a gangly pre-med student from Congo, attending Georgetown on an academic scholarship. Basketball coach John Thompson persuaded Mutombo to try out for the team, and his athletic career began. Burke在乔治城时是木桶柏的室友 在当时木桶柏只是个刚果来的瘦瘦的药学预备生 来乔治城是为了学位的 直到有一天篮球教练John Thompson拉他去打球 他的运动员生涯才开始 On the court, the 7-foot, 2-inch center, a defensive standout and master shot blocker, is known for his intimidating presence and an almost haughty demeanor. It's all an act, Burke said. The winner of numerous humanitarian awards for his charity work, Mutombo has a heart that must fill up every inch of that big body. 木桶柏七尺二寸中锋 防守一等一 打火锅不是盖的 (像摇手指)那种充满威胁感的存在 夸张的举动 Burke说那是装的 木桶柏得到很多对他慈善事业的奖 他实在很有善心 He was singled out by President George W. Bush during his State of the Union address this year for his generosity. He contributed more than $15 million toward the construction of the hospital, according to reports from The Associated Press. 木桶柏被布希因为他的慈善挑出来在国务院演讲(好像是) 根据报导他捐了1500万 Burke said the new hospital, which is named for Mutombo's mother, is state of the art. 这间医院以木桶伯母的名子命名 "It's really amazing," he said. "It's a 300-bed hospital with everything from an intensive care unit to a neonatal intensive care. It's very modern." "这真的狠猛 这是300张床的大医院 从重病特别护理单位到新生而重病护理 很现代" Burke said the technology used in the hospital is as advanced as any in the world. A key component is a paperless patient information system that computerizes all the health records for every patient. A quick scan of a patient's fingerprint can give doctors and nurses access to everything the system knows about the patient's medical history, Burke said. Burke说这间医院的先进如同世界各处任何一间 其中一个就是无纸病历系统 <=健保卡不知道有没有这功能 He attended the opening ceremony. Among those who participated were President Joseph Kabila, top military personnel and U.S. Ambassador Roger A. Meece, Burke said. Minnesota Timberwolves forward Juwan Howard and Nikki McCray of the WNBA's Chicago Sky joined the trip to Kinshasa and put on children's basketball clinics organized by the U.S. State Department. John Saunders of ESPN also participated. 他参加了开幕仪式 美国大使跟当地总统也参加了 Juwan Howard跟Nikki McCray(WNBA)....看不懂 The opening ceremony was exciting and moving, but Burke's favorite moment of the trip happened away from the crowds and media. On his last trip to Kinshasa, he visited an orphanage for children with disabilities. He went back this time, and took with him soccer balls he and his daughter collected. As they did on his first visit, the spirit of the children inspired him. "That was really great, to see these kids who have every reason to feel sorry for themselves because of their situation, but they don't," he said. Burke said Mutombo hopes to play one more season with the Houston Rockets. He's still in the Congo helping organize the hospital. Burke说木桶柏还会再打一季 他会在刚果帮医院上轨道 "He's really excited about the opening of the hospital, but that's just the beginning," Burke said. "It needs to be run, so he's meeting with the hospital administration and the staff." 木桶柏很高兴医院开始了 可是医院需要经营 这只是开始 Burke said he admires his friend's commitment to his roots. "He really has a deep desire to help out the people over there," he said. "You go over there and you see the millions of people in poverty. Even just a little something helps out, and he's doing this major hospital. If it helps create one Dikembe out of 5,000 people, then maybe that person can do something in the future to help out, and it can snowball into something really big." 木桶柏很希望助人 ....... 希望这种事项小雪球衣样越滚越大 好长喔........XD ※ 编辑: brokenleg 来自: 220.133.8.111 (07/26 14:11) --
