※ 引述《platotle ()》之铭言:
: 在小布演说中被高度赞扬,
: 主要内容是说他在刚果的义行,没有忘记母国。
: 更重要是说他的美国人民的表率。
: 可以的话,请达人翻译那段话。
是这篇吗?

Rockets center Dikembe Mutombo, seated next to first lady Laura Bush and
proudly flashing his familiar broad smile, was honored by President George
Bush Tuesday at the State of the Union Address in Washington.
Mutombo, working almost daily, raised $29 million (donating $15 million
himself) for the construction of the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital and
Research Center in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the
Congo. Mutombo plans to open the hospital — Kinshasa's first new one in 40
years — this summer. It is named for his mother, who died nine years ago
when civil unrest and a curfew prevented her from getting to a hospital.
Mutombo was honored during Bush's speech as an example of "heroic kindness,
courage and self-sacrifice."
"When America serves others," Bush said, "we show the strength and generosity
of our country.
"The greatest strength we have is the heroic kindness, courage and
self-sacrifice of the American people. You see this spirit often if you know
where to look — and tonight we need only look above to the gallery.
"Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa, amid great poverty and disease. He came
to Georgetown University on a scholarship to study medicine, but coach John
Thompson took a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a
star in the NBA and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the
land of his birth — or the duty to share his blessings with others. He built
a brand-new hospital in his old hometown.
"A friend has said of this good-hearted man: 'Mutombo believes that God has
given him this opportunity to do great things.' And we're proud to call this
son of the Congo a citizen of the United States of America."
Said Mutombo in a phone interview afterward: "My heart was full of joy. I
didn't know the president was going to say such great remarks. He raised me
so high. I'm so happy. I'm so proud to be a citzen of the United States of
America and to be recognized for my work. God is good to have put this work
in my heart."
