By early next baseball season, the celebrated third baseman will be able to savor something even more meaningful to him -- an educational facility named for him at the club. 在『西南邁阿密男孩與孩俱樂部』，這個 A-Rod年輕時首次接觸棒球的地方，已經有一個以他為名的球場；而明年球季初，一間同名教育中心的啟用，將對這位有名的三壘手意味著更重大的意義。 The $1.5 million Alex Rodriguez Education Center, to be located on the club's southeastern side and expected to be nearly 10,000 square feet, figures to open sometime in April. It will include a state-of-the-art computer laboratory, an area for Internet use, classrooms for homework study and a huge teen center, where the older kids can meet. 『Alex Rodriguez教育中心』耗費 1.5M，將座落在俱樂部的東南方，佔地約一萬平方呎；約在明春某時啟用。裡面會有最先進的電腦設施、上網專用區域、讀書寫功課用的教室，以及一個大的青年中心，讓青少年可以聚會。 Rodriguez got the project rolling with a $500,000 contribution, then began encouraging others to help. Ocean Bank completed the construction funds effort with a $300,000 offering, according to Alex Rodriguez, no relation, who heads the seven Boys & Girls Clubs in Miami. A-Rod率先捐了50萬美金，接著鼓勵其他人響應這項活動，最後以 Ocean Bank 捐贈的 30萬美金做結，完成募款。同名同姓但是沒有任何親戚關係的另一位 A-Rod是7家男孩女孩俱樂部的頭頭，他也參與了這項計畫。 "Alex cares deeply about the importance of education, and we've been talking about this facility for more than four years," the Boys & Girls Club's Rod- riguez said. "Now it's close to being a reality." "Alex深刻地關注教育的重要性，四年多以來我們一直在談論這個(教育)中心計畫，而現在已經接近實現。" It was apparent at the clinic A-Rod gave at the club recently for 85 young- sters that education awareness was foremost in the message he wanted to impart. He kept repeating its importance, whether it was to 10-12 kids at a time or to the assembled group. A-Rod在前陣子舉行的棒球營裡，就已經再三強調受教育的重要 And his message came over loud and clear: Education will prepare you for a productive and satisfying life, regardless of what happens to you in baseball. 他傳遞的訊息大聲且清晰：教育能為你準備一個富足且圓滿的生活，不管你打棒球發生了什麼事。 "Some of you may think you have attended an SAT camp, not a baseball camp," the Yankees star said with a smile near the clinic's end. 棒球營結束時，A-Rod微笑說："你們有些人可能會以為參加了SAT營而不是棒球營。" A-Rod focused on the need to be prepared for the SAT test, which can help determine the quality of a university a student might attend. A-Rod強調準備SAT的必要，因為好的SAT成績帶你上天堂 The new building will be modular, so completing the setup process is expected to take only about seven weeks. Right now, Boys & Girls Club officials are waiting for all the details to be worked out. 新的建築採取組合式，所以只要大概7週就可以"組裝"完工；現在，俱樂部的人員等著去確定所有細節。 Rodriguez, who recently finalized a 10-year, $275 million contract with the Yankees, has talked of finally feeling at home in New York. He said he will miss Yankee Stadium greatly when it yields to a new stadium after the 2007 season. A-Rod最近剛簽了新合約，他談到過了這些年他終於在紐約找到屬於"家"的感覺；他也說他會想念現在的球場，因為07年過後新球場就要啟用。 "Yankee Stadium, to me, is the greatest museum in the United States," he said. "It's a great advantage as a player. You feel magical when you're in that [batter's] box." "洋基球場對我而言，就像是全美國最好的一座博物館；" 他說："身為球員最大的好處之一，就是當你站上了打擊區時，所感受到的那股魔力。" Yet Rodriguez left no doubt that he plans to keep making Miami his offseason home. 當然無疑問地 A-Rod 令邁阿密作為他長久以來，非球季時期的家。 "I was born here and I'll probably die here," Rodriguez said recently, as he sat in the tranquility of a shaded area near a field at the Boys & Girls Club. "I really enjoy it. It's far away from the lights at Yankee Stadium." "我生於斯，(長於斯)而且極有可能就在此地結束此生，"A-Rod最近說，當他寧靜地坐在俱樂部球場附近的陰涼處；"我很享受這種模式，(非球季時)遠離洋基球場的燈光。" -- 宇宙裡的微小塵埃 http://www.wretch.cc/album/AllyDai -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.64.49.5
