Jeremy Lin announced a $1 million gift to Harvard in support of undergraduate financial aid and renovations to the College's basketball arena.
日前,林书豪宣布向哈佛大学捐助100万美元,用作大学生的经济援助和学校篮球场的翻新。
"Without question, my time at Harvard prepared me well for success both on and off the court," said Lin.
"毫无疑问,我在哈佛读书的收获,为我在场上场下的成功都产生了巨大的影响。"林书豪说。
"I'm honored to put that same world-class education in reach for deserving students and to support improvements to the facilities where I spent countless hours practicing and competing."
"我感到很荣幸,能帮助品学兼优的学生们收获同样世界顶级水平的教育,尤其是提高和改善我曾在那里进行过无数次训练的篮球场馆。"
Lin played four years for the Crimson (2006–10), served as team captain his senior year, and was a three-time All-Ivy League selection.
林书豪在哈佛大学打了四年球,大三当上了篮球队队长,并三次入选常春藤联盟阵容。
He was also the first player in Ivy League history to record 1,450 points (1,483), 450 rebounds (487), 400 assists (406), and 200 steals (225). He's currently the only Ivy League player in the NBA.
他还是常春藤联盟历史上第一位达到1450分(1483),450个篮板(487),400次助攻(406)以及200次抢断(225)的球员。目前,他是NBA里唯一一位常春藤联盟的球员。
William R. Fitzsimmons, Harvard College dean of admissions and financial aid, said, "I find it inspiring to see the commitment to financial aid and Athletics that Harvard College and Jeremy share. His generosity will strengthen the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative (HFAI), through which more than half of our undergraduates receive need-based grant aid."
哈佛学院招生兼财政援助校长威廉·菲茨西蒙斯表示:"我很激动地看到哈佛学院和林书豪在资金援助和体育方面作出的贡献。他的慷慨捐助将加强哈佛助学金计划的工作,学校超过一半的学生能得到助学金的资助。"
