勒布朗·詹姆斯透露，他創(chuàng)辦的學校在英語、數(shù)學和扣籃測試方面取得了巨大的進步

AKRON, OH—Expressing pride that the curriculum he helped put in place was already bearing fruit in critical areas of study, LeBron James revealed Wednesday that students at his I Promise elementary school have seen huge gains in English, math, and dunk testing.

俄亥俄州阿克倫-勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)周三透露，他所在的I Promise小學的學生們在英語、數(shù)學和扣籃測試方面取得了巨大的進步。他對自己幫助制定的課程在關鍵的學習領域已經(jīng)結(jié)出果實表示自豪。

“I’m truly humbled to be making a difference in my community, where so many of these kids tested way below the national average in tomahawk jams, and now they’re on pace to rank in the 90th percentile for both chemistry and alley-oops,” said James, who credited the school’s small class sizes for giving the kids the hands-on attention they need to learn how to “really throw it down.”

“能在我的社區(qū)里發(fā)揮作用，我真的感到很謙卑。在我的社區(qū)里，這么多孩子在戰(zhàn)斧堵塞測試中的成績遠遠低于全國平均水平，現(xiàn)在他們的化學和胡同成績都有望排在第90百分位數(shù)，”詹姆斯說。他認為學校的小班規(guī)模給了孩子們所需的親力親為的注意力，讓他們學會如何“真正地把它扔掉”。

“We’ve seen dramatic improvement across the board, from reading comprehension and arithmetic to jump shooting and Jelly layups. It’s amazing to watch kids who could barely even palm the ball a few years ago slam home windmills like it’s nothing.

“從閱讀理解和算術，到跳投和上籃，我們已經(jīng)看到了全面的巨大進步。幾年前，孩子們甚至不能把球握在手心里，砰的一聲關上家里的風車，就像什么都沒發(fā)生一樣，這很驚訝。

Of course, these are still young kids, so they have to continue making strides until they’re able to dunk a regulation-sized basketball—which is a graduation requirement.” At press time, James had announced a new scholarship program to help Akron-area high schoolers gain admission to prestigious Ivy League dunking programs.

當然，這些還是小孩子，所以他們必須繼續(xù)大踏步前進，直到能夠扣籃規(guī)定大小的籃球-這是畢業(yè)的要求。“在發(fā)稿時，詹姆斯已經(jīng)宣布了一項新的獎學金計劃，以幫助阿克倫地區(qū)的高中生獲得進入久負盛名的常春藤聯(lián)盟扣籃項目的資格。
