“读懂中国”主题演讲|马布里：从NBA到CBA，中国文化哲学如何影响了我(11)

当航班降落我踏上中国的土地，是爱意迎接了我。让我再说一遍，我得到了数千人的爱与欢迎，让我惊喜的是他们对我微笑，并举着写着“欢迎到中国来！”的牌子。这让我觉得，中国人会把我当成自己人来接纳。
When my flight landed and I stepped foot on China soil, love welcomed me here. Let me say that again. I was greeted with love by thousands of people from China. To my pleasant surprise, they smiled at me and held up signs stating “Welcome to China!”. That made me feel like the Chinese people would love me as one of their own.

我妈妈常说，生活中有些东西是你想要的，有些东西是你需要的，在那一刻我需要感受到爱，而你们让我在最需要爱的时候，收获了它。正因为如此，我将永远感激中国人民，中国，你赢得了我的心。这种爱对我的存在至关重要，原因在于它帮助我，重建了生活找回了自我。
My mother always says there are some things in life you want and then there are some things you need. I needed to feel love at that exact moment and you all made me feel that way when I needed love the most. Because of that, I will forever be grateful to the people of China. China, you have won my heart. This type of love was so crucial to my existence. Crucial because it helped me to rebuild and redeem my life and myself.
