Kawhi Leonard was at a local theatre in December
to watch “The Lion King”with his mother, when he
found out children from Respite Care of San Antonio
were attending the same show. Plans to duck in and
out of the theatre were scrapped, as Leonard spent
a few extra minutes visiting with the kids, many
who have special needs.
某年12月可爱和可爱妈去电影院看电影，碰到一群Respite Care
的小朋友，于是可爱花了一点时间接触这些小朋友，发现他们都
很需要关怀 (Respite Care以下简称RC)。
“He’s actually very talkative with children,” said
Pearl Williams, who has worked with Respite Care for
28 years. “He’s got a great smile, and he’s
so personable. The kids love him.”
RC的工作人员说其实可爱对小孩非常多话、笑容可掬，小孩超爱他。
Leonard was the same way with America and Santiago on
Thursday, who are two children from Respite Care that
came to the Spurs’ practice facility to see
Leonard accept the KIA Defensive Player of the Year trophy.
可爱获颁DPOY的时候，有两个RC的小朋友来到现场 (大概就是照片中那两个?)
When Leonard was awarded the trophy, it came with keys
to a 2016 KIA Sorrento for Leonard to donate to a charity
of his choice. He’s gifted it to Respite Care.
可爱把这台KIA的车捐给RC
Respite Care provides aid for children with special needs
who have been taken into protective custody as a result
of abuse and neglect. The car will help take children to
doctor’s appointments, foster homes and field trips.
RC将利用这台车来接送小朋友去医院、寄养家庭、户外郊游等等
“The trophy’s probably going to collect dust, but the vehicle is going to
come in handy,” Leonard said “Respite Care needs that car to transfer kids
and give them a chance to see a better side of life.”
可爱说:“奖杯也许可以拿来蒐集灰尘，但是车子可以备不时之需。
RC需要这台车来接送小朋友，并让他们有机会看见生命更美好的一面”
Leonard was gracious in accepting the trophy, but quickly moved on to getting
back to work as the Spurs and Clippers are tied 1-1 in their first-round
series. The car, meanwhile, will be put to use by Respite Care for the next
15 years.
Kawhi拿到奖杯后，马上回来备战目前1-1的马刺快艇系列赛
同时这台车也将在RC服务未来的15年
Bert Pfiester, president and CEO of Respite Care, said the small charity
takes care of about 60 children at any given time, many with mental
disabilities, autism, seizure disorders or physical injuries.
RC的CEO表示这会帮助60个小朋友，其中包含各种残疾
“Some of our kids have come to us straight from the hospital,” Pfiester
said. “For Kawhi to make this gesture, he’s holding these kids high, and
many of these kids have never had someone think of them.”
他说:“而这些小朋友常常被直接从医院送过来。可爱很重视它们，从来没有人为这
些小朋友着想过。”
The program has to make an average of about 30 doctor appointments a week,
and the average car in Respite Care’s fleet has 150,000 miles. This will be
the first new car the foundation has had since it opened in 1987.
RC的车大多非常老旧了，这是RC自1987年开办以来第一次收到全新的车子。
They’ll also use the car to take kids on field trips to museums, the zoo,
and even a few Spurs games.
RC也会用这台车来带小朋友去博物馆、动物园、甚至马刺的比赛
Leonard is just one Spurs player who has a relationship with Respite Care.
While Becky Hammon was a player with the WNBA’s Stars, she asked fans to
donate to Respite Care as a birthday gift.
可爱只是马刺队中会帮助RC的人之一。 Becky Hammon 也请求粉丝捐助RC来当
作给她的生日礼物。
“This gift is going to go such a long way,” Williams said. “It’s a
miracle for us.”
RC的工作人员说:“这份礼物会帮助我们很长一段时间，这对我们来说简直是奇蹟。”
