: ※ 引述《platotle ()》之銘言：
: : 在小布演說中被高度讚揚，
: : 主要內容是說他在剛果的義行，沒有忘記母國。
: : 更重要是說他的美國人民的表率。
: : 可以的話，請達人翻譯那段話。
: 是這篇嗎? http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/4494234.html
: Rockets center Dikembe Mutombo, seated next to first lady Laura Bush and
: proudly flashing his familiar broad smile, was honored by President George
: Bush Tuesday at the State of the Union Address in Washington.
火箭隊中鋒 Mutombo 坐在第一夫人 Laura 的旁邊，展現出燦爛的笑容，
他正在接受布希總統的表揚。
: Mutombo, working almost daily, raised $29 million (donating $15 million
: himself) for the construction of the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital and
: Research Center in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the
: Congo. Mutombo plans to open the hospital — Kinshasa's first new one in 40
: years — this summer. It is named for his mother, who died nine years ago
: when civil unrest and a curfew prevented her from getting to a hospital.
Mutombo 為 Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital 和 Research Center 的建
立募得 2900 萬美元，其中 1500 萬美元是他自己捐贈的。這間位於剛果
民主共和國首都 Kinshasa 的醫院，是該城市 40 年來第一家新的醫院，
以 Mutombo母親的名字來命名。他的母親在九年前因無法順利就醫而過世
了。
: Mutombo was honored during Bush's speech as an example of "heroic kindness,
: courage and self-sacrifice."
: "When America serves others," Bush said, "we show the strength and generosity
: of our country.
: "The greatest strength we have is the heroic kindness, courage and
: self-sacrifice of the American people. You see this spirit often if you know
: where to look — and tonight we need only look above to the gallery.
布希總統在一場關於英雄氣概、勇氣、奉獻精神的演講中表達了對 Mutombo
的敬意，...... (下面一段無關緊要就不管了)
: "Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa, amid great poverty and disease. He came
: to Georgetown University on a scholarship to study medicine, but coach John
: Thompson took a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a
: star in the NBA and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the
: land of his birth — or the duty to share his blessings with others. He built
: a brand-new hospital in his old hometown.
「Mutombo 生於非洲，在貧窮和充滿疾病的環境之下長大，他來到我國喬
治城大學求學，原本主攻醫學，隨後被 Thompson 教練提拔成為一位 NBA
的球星，以及一位美國公民。但他從未忘了他出生的那片土地，以及為祖
國奉獻心力的責任，他以成立醫院的方式將他的愛散播在祖國的土地之上
。」
: "A friend has said of this good-hearted man: 'Mutombo believes that God has
: given him this opportunity to do great things.' And we're proud to call this
: son of the Congo a citizen of the United States of America."
「(他的)一位朋友曾說過：『Mutombo 相信上帝給了他一個機會去做些偉
大的事。』而我們今天感到非常榮幸，這位剛果之子是我們美國的一員。
」
: Said Mutombo in a phone interview afterward: "My heart was full of joy. I
: didn't know the president was going to say such great remarks. He raised me
: so high. I'm so happy. I'm so proud to be a citzen of the United States of
: America and to be recognized for my work. God is good to have put this work
: in my heart."
Mutombo 之後在電話訪問中說道：「我感到滿心歡喜，我並不知道總統先
生會給予我那樣的評價，他讓我感到開心極了！我很榮幸我身為美國的一
員，也很榮幸我所做的事被大家認可，感謝上帝！」
並沒有全部照著翻...大概表達一下而已，
請大家將就著點看吧 XD
