http://www.thestar.com/sports/nba/article/657572 DeRozan driven to improve mother's health --New Raptor wants best for lupus-stricken parent [Doug Smith -SPORTS REPORTER] It kills a kid to see a parent wracked with pain, to see suffering and know there's nothing he or she can do. 對一個孩子而言，沒什麼比看著雙親遭受病痛所苦，卻無能為力的心情還要傷心。 Trying to alleviate that is what's driven DeMar DeRozan for years, made him spend those countless hours in the gym honing his skills to get him where he is today. 為了去試著減輕這種痛苦的心情年復一年驅使著DeRozan，讓他花了無數個小時在體育館中不斷磨練自己的籃球技能，這樣的努力帶領他達到今日的地位。 And now the newest Raptor, flush with a multi-million dollar contract and the hopes of untold more riches to come, can do something tangible to help, far more than sitting by and offering only love and support. 現在，這位新的暴龍隊成員，正因數百萬合約以及期望更多財富到來興奮之情溢於言表，如今他能提供的確切幫助，遠比僅能提供愛和支持的還要多更多。 DeRozan's mom, Diane, suffers from lupus, a disease in which the immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues by mistake, causing damage to joints, skin, blood vessels and organs. She has her good days and bad, and now her son can help limit that suffering. DeRozan的母親，Diane，受狼瘡症之苦(一種人體免疫系統會被誤導攻擊健康的細胞和組織的病症，致使關節、皮膚和血液等器官造成損害)，如今，她的兒子可幫忙減輕這樣的痛苦。 "It's just, find the best solution to understanding what lupus is, what can I do to take care of her ... so it won't bother my mother that much," DeRozan said yesterday, a day after the Raptors made him the ninth overall selection in the NBA draft. "It's putting her in the best comfortable situation home-wise and getting her the best medical care I can." "就是去學著了解狼瘡病，以及知道我能夠提供給她什麼樣的照顧，才能找出最好的解決之道，讓它別再困擾著我母親" DeRozan於選秀會當晚被暴龍以第九順位選走的隔天，接受訪問時說道。"我試著盡我所能讓她能享受最好的生活環境以及最好的醫療照護" All through his teenage years, the 19-year-old DeRozan has seen his mother bothered by her affliction. He and his father tried to help as best they could but there was nothing like the $2 million annual salary at hand to help create a better situation. 當他青少年的歲月時期，現年19歲的DeRozan已經看過許多他母親受病痛侵擾時的樣子， DeRozan和他的父親試圖盡力去幫忙，但沒什麼能比一年將近二百萬的薪資所能提供的幫助及創造的環境還要更好。 Now, there is. And getting that deal is part of the reason the 6-foot-7 swingman decided to leave USC after one year for the NBA. 因此，為了取得這樣的合約，就成了這位6呎7吋的搖擺人決定離開待了一年的USC，轉投向NBA的部分原因。 "Just seeing my mom like that, seeing her not want to do stuff because she was in pain, it's tough, definitely tough, and that's something that definitely pushed me," he said. "看著我母親的樣子，看著她為了不再受病痛所苦的努力，驅使著我前進" DeRozan's parents were with him in New York for Thursday's draft, offering the support they've always given. DeRozan的雙親在選秀會當晚陪伴他身邊，提供著他們能給的支持，一如往常。 "I love to see the enjoyment my family got from seeing me do this," he said. "That's one of the major parts that made me enjoy that moment (Thursday) night even more, they were there to see all my hard work pay off and I did it for them." "我很高興看到我的家庭因為我今日的表現而感到開心，對我來說，這是讓我享受這一刻最主要的原因，她們看到我的努力終有所回報，而且我所做的都是為了他們。" The Raptors hope the hard work pays off not only for his family but for them, too. DeRozan's biggest strength right now is his athleticism, a trait sorely lacking on Toronto's roster last year and adding him eases one part of the job that president and general manager Bryan Colangelo has to finish this summer. 暴龍隊希望這樣的努力不僅是回報給DeRozan的家庭，同時也能使暴龍隊受益。DeRozan 最大的優勢在於他的體能，恰好是去年暴龍隊球員名單中最缺乏的一部份，他的加入將使總裁Bryan Colangelo 可以更輕鬆的完成今年暑假作業的難題之一。 "(With) the plans we've been talking about ... it's one more piece of the puzzle," said Colangelo. "就像往常我們曾經談到過的計畫...這部份是我們所面臨眾多難題中很大的一部份" Colangelo說。 After his school season ended, DeRozan went to Oakland from his Los Angeles home to concentrate on developing his skills. 在結束他的學校生活後，DeRozan將從他LA的家出發前往Oakland，並集中心力發展他的各種技能。 But home and his parents were never far from his thoughts. 但是家，和他的雙親，從不會離開他的心思太遠。 "They're the only two people who were there before basketball, making sure I had what I needed for school, cook for me, stuff like that." "他們是僅有二個，看重我更勝看待我的籃球技巧，會確保我能得到所需要的、為了我煮飯、以及那種種太多太多了" And now he can repay that debt. 而如今，他終於可報答這樣的恩情。 --- 第一次試著翻譯長文...跟大家分享如有錯誤之處請不吝指正...謝謝^^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.138.153.22 ※ 編輯: keith2822 來自: 140.138.153.22 (06/28 21:13)
