Spurs guard plays Santa to local teens http://0rz.tw/OIf3y By Jennifer R. Lloyd - Express-News Web Posted: 12/21/2009 12:00 CST Spurs guard plays Santa to local teens 馬刺後衛為當地青少年們扮演聖誕老人 San Antonio Spurs guard George Hill dished out bargain-shopping advice and $300 Best Buy shopping sprees to five teens from the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio on Sunday. 聖安東尼奧馬刺後衛George Hill提供聖安東尼奧兒童群益會(bgca, Boys& Girls Club) 的5位青少年星期天300美元的Best Buy購物狂歡日。 The giggling teen members of the Boys & Girls Clubs Candlewood Branch gathered around the basketball player, clad in a Spurs Santa hat, as he good-naturedly haggled with the store's manager to get the teens a discount on MP3 players at the North Loop 1604 location. 在北市1604區處的商店裡當他為少年們在MP3的折扣上跟店經理很自然地討價還價的時候，兒童群益會Candlewood分部的成員們喀喀笑地聚在這位身著馬刺聖誕帽的籃球員身旁。 “I don't want them to come in here and spend all their money on one item when they can maybe get five or six items for the same price,” said Hill, who was also holiday shopping for an Xbox 360 and a couple of Nintendo DS systems. “I'm trying to help them learn how to manage their money at the same time.” 「當他們可以用同樣的價錢得到五、六項物品時，我不要他們在這裡為了一項物品一次花光他們全部的錢」在假日購物時也買了一台X-360跟兩台NDS的Hill說，「同時我試著幫助他們學習到如何管理他們的錢」 Hill said he wanted to give back to the teens because he knows what it is like to go without presents at Christmas. Hill說他要回饋給青少年們，因為他知道在聖誕節時沒有雙親的孩子們是怎麼過的。 “It was so off and on,” said Hill, remembering his childhood. “Every once in a while, we'd have something. Other Christmases, we might not have nothing. I treat Christmas like any other day. Just be blessed that I woke up that morning and have fun with the whole day.” 「斷斷續續的」想起他的童年，Hill說，「有些聖誕節我們會得到禮物，有些聖誕節什麼東西都沒有，總是如此。我把聖誕節與其他節日看作同樣。只要我早上醒來一整天玩得開心就很高興了」 Last year, Hill provided a similar experience to three siblings in foster care. This year, Hill played benefactor to youths taking advantage of the Boys & Girls Clubs, just as he did growing up in Indianapolis. 去年，Hill提供3個受寄養照護的同胞們類似的體驗。今年，Hill藉由兒童群益會來作為青少年們的捐助人，就如同他在印地安納波里州成長的經歷一般。 “Being around other kids who were just like me, who had it hard, nobody wanted to give us nothing,” Hill said. “We had to earn everything. The Boys & Girls Club always let us come in there, have fun, do what we like to do and that's play basketball, baseball, football, swimming, things like that.” 「週遭的孩子們就跟我以前一樣，有著艱辛的童年，沒有人想要給我們什麼」Hill說，「我們不得不賺取一切。兒童群益會讓我們擁有歡笑，做我們想作的事諸如打籃球、棒球、美式足球，游泳等」 James Watson, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio, said the five teens were selected for their leadership abilities and community service efforts from among the 200 or so children served daily at the branch. Most of the children served by the Boys & Girls Club of San Antonio are living at or close to the federal poverty level and many come from single-parent homes, Watson said. 聖安東尼奧兒童群益會的執行董事James Watson說這五位青少年們是透過他們的領導才能以及社區服務的成就從該機構分部約200名左右的孩子們中脫穎而出。Watson說聖安東尼奧兒童群益會大部分的孩童們來自當地或鄰近地區的貧窮人家且很多人來自單親家庭。 Club members Janaevia Broussard and Krystal Villarreal, both 16 and both dedicated Spurs fans, selected matching Kodak digital cameras for themselves but saved a portion of their shopping spree to buy presents for their siblings. 群益會成員Janaevia Broussard與Krystal Villarreal都是16歲且都是馬刺迷，為她們自己選購了Kodak數位相機，但留了一部份她們的購物金要為她們的同伴們買禮物。 Broussard said she was very surprised to find out that they had been selected for the shopping spree. Broussard說，她很意外她們被挑選出來參加購物狂歡日。 “We just like to give, give, give, and, especially when it's the season to give, we're not expecting to receive much,” Broussard said. “But it's a blessing. We're very appreciative.” 「我們只是喜歡一直施予，尤其是這個施予的季節，我們不期待獲得太多回報」Broussard 說到，「但這是一種幸福，我們很感謝」 Hill, who took a break from shopping to play the DJ Hero game with club member James Johnson, 14, said the tough economic times played a factor in his reason for giving. 和群益會成員，14歲的James Johnson玩DJ英雄遊戲從中獲得休息的Hill說，經濟拮据時期 (的過去)是他為這些孩子們做這些事的動機因素。 “I just feel like it's my job and I got something I like doing: putting smiles on kids' faces who may not be having a great Christmas,” Hill said. 「我只是覺得這好像是我的職責，而我做了一些我喜歡做的事 :讓笑容掛在那些沒有過著很棒的聖誕節的孩子們的臉上」Hill說。 -- 糾~甘心好人卡一張XD -- 退伍令|█████████████████▕搜尋▏Google ▇▇ 搜尋： ⊙所有網頁 ○繁體中文網頁 ○台灣的網頁 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.229.229.220 ※ 編輯: Kshatri 來自: 61.229.229.220 (12/21 20:29)
