About 500 students were on hand as McGrady introduced AHS as the first "sister school" to a new school McGrady is helping to build in the African nation of Chad. T-Mac星期四回到家鄉的Auburndale High School進行一場演講。演講內容大概是和一些慈善計畫有關係。T-Mac和大約500名學生介紹了他希望在非洲的查德蓋一座姐妹校。 According to McGrady's Web site, he has been working with The Enough Project and the NBA to help educate people about the violence and deaths occurring in Chad and Darfur. 在T-Mac的官網中，可以知道他也曾經為NBA以及名為The Enough Project這個計畫奉獻過。(註：http://www.t-mac.com/tmac/store/)去查德和達爾富爾教育人們有關暴力和死亡的發生。 McGrady was a basketball star for the Bloodhounds in the mid-1990s. He left AHS before his junior season in 1996 to go to a prep school in North Carolina. He was a 1997 NBA Draft pick directly out of high school. 這段就介紹T-Mac，簡單看看就好。 As part of the Thursday afternoon presentation, McGrady pledged $75,000 to help build the school and for supplies and training. 在星期四下午的介紹中，T-Mac保證要捐7萬5美元去建立姐妹校以及供給和訓練。 The students, who McGrady remarked were probably happy to be out of class, got to watch a documentary video on the Houston Rockets star's trip to Darfur. 那些學生，應該非常爽可以離開教室去看火箭球星的達爾富爾之旅的紀錄片。 Also on hand were Auburndale High School Principal John Hill and Auburndale City Manager Bobby Green, who was representing the city. 同時出席的還有Auburndale High School的校長John Hill以及Auburndale城市的市長 Bobby Green。 "The city contributed $1,000 seed money to the high school to help them with the technology and community to help establish the sister school relationship and hopefully establish a sister city relationship," Green said. Green說：「市政府捐贈1000美金得種子基金給學校去幫助他們用科技和社群建立起姐妹校關係，甚至希望能夠建立起姐妹市。」 Green said he was excited to see a high-profile athlete giving back to his community. Green說他非常激動可以看到高知名度的運動員回到自己的家鄉。 "You can look at box scores and tell what kind of athlete Tracy McGrady is," Green said. "The presentation and film he showed and the challenge that he left the students really shows what kind of person he is." Green說：「你可以看分數盒子然後知道T-Mac是怎樣的一個運動員。他的介紹和影片以及挑戰真的讓學生們了解他是怎樣的一個人。」 Hill said having McGrady, who is well respected in the Auburndale community, speak on the subject really helps get the message across. Hill說能擁有像T-Mac這樣子受尊重的球員來談這樣子的計畫，真的幫忙很大。 "We had several students that talked to me at Christmas about what's going on there and expressed a desire to do something," Hill said. Hill說：「有好多學生在聖誕節和我聊有關那裏的狀況，以及說他們想做點事情。」 Also on hand was Omer Ismail, who used to live in Darfur. He has started the Darfur Peace and Development organization to help with the situation in his home land. 出席的人還有長期住在達爾富爾的Omer Ismail。他也開始了達爾富爾的和平和發展的組織去幫忙他的老家。 After speaking to the students, McGrady had a question-and-answer session. 在和那些學生演講後，T-Mac有個問與答的時間。 Hill said Thursday's presentation was just the beginning of an ongoing process. Hill說星期四的介紹只是一個開始。 "We're still going to be developing ideas and coming up with ways to make a difference," Hill said. "Some of the things that were mentioned were setting up communication system to talk to students in the camps, to raise funds to build the school and to buy textbook materials and train teachers." Hill說：「我們仍在發展不同的IDEAS和不同的方法去做些不同的事情，有些提到過的事情被設計成交流系統在露營時去和學生聊，用基金建立學校和買教材和訓練老師。」 Ismail said McGrady's speech and film really got through to the students. Ismail說T-Mac的演講和影片讓學生們著實地成長。 "I can see it in the eyes of these kids, who want to hear more stories and want to help," Ismail said. "He's trying to look a things beyond his community and himself. I think if we had more people like him, the world would be a better place." Ismail說：「我可以看看那些孩子們的眼睛，他們想要多聽點故事以及想要去幫忙些事情，T-Mac試著把事情看得比社區和自己更遠。我想如果有多一點人像他，這世界會變得更美好。」註：照片在上面SMALLZCH大大的那篇XDDDDD ============================================================================== 這篇爆難的..有錯請指教，謝謝。其實只是希望和大家說T-Mac這段期間去做了些甚麼事情..。 -- 】 ▲ ▲ 【 “ ～ █████ █◣ ◢█ ◢██◣ ◢██◣ ║ ██ ║◢ ◣◢ ◣ ◤ █ ◥ █◥◣◢◤█ █ █ █ ▄ ║ █ ║ ◥██◤ █ █ ◥◤ █ █ █ █ ║ ▊ ║ ◢◥◤◣？ █ █▄ █ █ █ ██▅█ █ ║ █ ║ ◥▄◤ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ▆ ║ ██ ║ ◤ ι ██ █ ◥◤ █ █ █ ◥██◤ψaassd -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.160.65.28
