庫里奧巴馬出演公益廣告 呼籲民衆關注青年人

President Barack Obama has teamed with reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curryon a public service announcement calling for Americans to mentor youth in their community to make a positive impact.

日前，美國總統奧巴馬與NBA最有價值球員史蒂芬·庫裏一道拍攝了一則公益廣告，呼籲美國民衆引導社區中的年輕人發揮正能量。

The video was shown last Saturday on ABC's "NBA Countdown" ahead of Curry's playoff opener with the defending champion Golden State Warriors against the Houston Rockets.

這則廣告視頻於週六在美國廣播公司的“NBA倒計時”節目中首次播出，之後才播出NBA衛冕冠軍金州勇士隊與休斯頓火箭隊的對決。

Curry and Obama golfed together last August and Curry also visited the White House with the Warriors in February - and Obama mentioned Curry "clowning" with defenders the way he had been shooting.

事實上，庫裏和奧巴馬早在去年八月就曾一起打過高爾夫。庫裏和勇士隊還在今年二月份訪問了白宮，奧巴馬當時提到庫裏的投籃表現時，開玩笑稱其就像扮小丑來鬧場。

The PSA was done through "MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership" and motivated by Obama's "My Brother's Keeper" initiative, which raises awareness and calls for action to ensure all youth - including young men of color - reach their full potential.

此次，兩人共同參演的廣告主題爲“打造國家良師益友計劃”，這則公益廣告是受到奧巴馬總統發起的“同胞兄弟守護者”倡議精神的激勵。“同胞兄弟守護者”旨在敦促社會各界爲少數青年族裔創造更多機會，並幫助所有年輕人（包括有色人種）發揮出他們的潛能。

Curry is active in the Bay Area community and committed to making a difference.

庫裏在舊金山灣區的社區活動中非常積極，影響力也非常大。

After a recent visit to Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary in inner-city Oakland, he said, "The opportunity, obviously the 15-20 minutes you're with them, I think goes a long way. Just having fun with them is the most important. It was very beneficial."

近日在奧克蘭平民區參觀馬丁·路德·金所在的小學後，庫裏表示：“很明顯，這種陪伴他們15-20分鐘的機會，都非常有意義。和他們一起玩得開心是非常重要的，這將令他們受益。”
