Mutombo plans to open the hospital — Kinshasa's first new one in 40 : years — this summer.

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'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 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.216.83.86
