We all know Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich's reputation for being a grouch.
You see it on the sidelines and especially in interviews, but now I must come
clean about a secret I've held onto for almost 25 years… Pop's got a heart
as big as his coaching resume.
馬刺教練 Pop 的壞脾氣是出了名的
從他受訪時不爽的神情、場邊爆跳的身影可見一斑
可是現在，我必須講出我已經忍了２５年的祕密...
你不要看 Pop 外表這～麼堅強，其實他的內心可柔軟呢
Coach Pop was honored Tuesday at a big charity luncheon by the San Antonio
Food Bank. It’s the kind of event where there are usually lots of cameras
and reporters to publicize the cause.
But not Tuesday. No media allowed.
The reason? Because they honored Pop and he wants no part of anything that
draws attention to him.
禮拜四於聖安東尼奧食物銀行舉辦的餐會上，Pop 接受盛大的表揚
以往為了公關宣傳，這場合往往有很多記者跟攝影機
但是這次不行。謝絕媒體與會。
為什麼呢？因為會上 Pop 將受表揚，而 Pop 本人不希望這件事曝光
For over a decade Pop has been a driving force behindthe San Antonio Food Bank.
He has given huge financial gifts and helped to raise millions to feed over
58,000 San Antonians a day.
Did you know one in four San Antonians will benefit from the Food Bank at
some point this year?
So Coach Pop was honored by Eric Cooper and the Food Bank, and it was
staggering to see how many people he has touched by being an advocate to
end San Antonio hunger.
其實這十多年來，Pop 都是「聖城食物銀行」背後的推手
他自己掏了大把銀子，還幫忙勸募了數以百萬計的美元
每天都有超過五萬八千的聖城人因此不再餓肚子
你知道今年每四個聖城人，就有一個受惠於食物銀行嗎？
為此 Pop 在餐會上接受了聖城食物銀行總裁 Eric Cooper 的表揚
我很驚訝，竟然這麼多人受到 Pop 的感動
感動於他長期致力於讓鄉親不再挨餓
I watched Coach Pop as they played a video tribute to him
