Beijing Ducks star Jeremy Lin, the first Asian-American to win an NBA title, has pledged up to $1 million to coronavirus relief efforts.
北京首鋼隊球星林書豪是第一位獲得NBA總冠軍的亞裔美國人,他承諾將提供高達100萬美元的資金來救助冠狀病毒。
The 31-year-old, whose 2012 heroics for the New York Knicks were dubbed "Linsanity", will donate $500,000 and said he would also match all donations up to an additional $500,000.Lin, who is in Beijing waiting for the CBA to restart, last month tore into US President Donald Trump for "empowering" by calling COVID-19 a Chinese disease.
現年31歲的林書豪2012年在紐約尼克斯隊(New York Knicks)的英雄壯舉被稱為「林來瘋」(Linsanity)。目前正在北京等待CBA聯賽重啟的林上個月抨擊美國總統唐納德•川普(Donald Trump)「縱容」種族主義,稱「2019冠狀病毒」是一種中國病。
The coronavirus was first detected in Wuhan, Hubei province, in December before spreading across the world as a pandemic, with the United States increasingly hard hit.Lin on Monday returned to the same theme on The Players' Tribune website in a first-person piece titled "The Darkness Has Not Overcome It".
這種冠狀病毒於去年12月在湖北省武漢市首次被發現,隨後在全球範圍內流行開來,美國受到的打擊也越來越大。周一,林在《球員論壇報》網站上以第一人稱發表了題為《黑暗並未戰勝它》的文章,再次提到了同樣的主題
"One simple way to be the light is to support organizations doing crucial work during the crisis," Lin wrote in making his pledge."You know, my whole life, I've been treated a certain way because I'm Asian," Lin added, mentioning some of the racial stereotypes he has been subjected to."I've even been asked if I can see. I've been told to go back to where I came from."During the height of 'Linsanity' I was still the butt of many Asian jokes."
林在他的誓言中寫道:「成為光明的一個簡單方法就是支持那些在危機期間做重要工作的組織。」 「你知道,在我的一生中,我一直被以某種方式對待,因為我是亞洲人,」林補充說,他提到了自己所遭受的一些種族成見。「甚至有人問我能不能看見。我被告知要回到我來的地方。「在『林來瘋』最火的時候,我仍然是很多亞洲人的笑柄。」
Lin urged people all over the world, irrespective of race or nationality, to pull together."No one knows how devastating the impact of this crisis will be, but the projections aren't good," Lin wrote.We're going to be recovering from this for a long time.But in the process, there will be so, so many opportunities to choose light."
林呼籲世界各地的人們,不分種族和國籍,團結起來。沒人知道這場危機的影響會有多嚴重,但預測並不樂觀,」林寫道。我們將從這場危機中恢復很長一段時間。「但在這個過程中,會有那麼多選擇光明的機會。」
Lin had been averaging 24.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists for the Ducks before the CBA was shut down in January. If the regular-season resumes, the sixth-place Ducks are on course to secure a play off spot with 16 games remaining.
在1月份CBA停擺之前,林場均得到24.2分,5.8個籃板和5.8次助攻。如果常規賽重新開始,在還剩16場比賽的情況下,排名第六的雄鹿將會進入季後賽。
