奥巴马在白宫接见NBA湖人队

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama welcomed the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers to the White House on Monday, praising the team for their accomplishments on the basketball court and their service in the community.
（华盛顿讯）-本周一，美国总统奥巴马在白宫接见了NBA总冠军洛杉矶湖人队（的全体将帅），并高度赞扬了湖人队在球场上取得的成就以及队员们在慈善事业上做出的贡献。

An avid basketball fan himself, Obama said he gets enormous pleasure from watching excellence on the court — and nobody exemplified excellence more than the Lakers last year, as they won their 15th league title, defeating the Orlando Magic.
奥巴马本身就是个十足的篮球迷，他说，观赏球场上（队员们）的精彩表演给他带来了无穷的乐趣-而去年，在湖人队打败奥兰多魔术队，赢得了他们的第15个总冠军头衔的时候，没有哪支队伍能够比湖人队打的更精彩。

Obama said he was especially excited to meet Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who has won 10 championships, though he didn't hesitate to point out that six of those victories were with Obama's hometown Chicago Bulls.
湖人的教练-禅师菲尔杰克逊已经摘得过10次总冠军戒指了。奥巴马说，他对能够接见禅师而感到异常兴奋-尽管他不假思索地指出，在禅师的这10次总冠军中，有6次是在奥巴马的家乡球队芝加哥公牛队取得的。

"You remember that," Obama joked with former Lakers all-star Magic Johnson (FSY), who was on the losing end of the Bulls' 1991 victory.
奥巴马和前湖人队全明星球员魔术师约翰逊开玩笑说，“你肯定记得！”（1991年，魔术师率领的洛杉矶湖人队在总决赛中败给了乔丹率领的芝加哥公牛队。）

Obama commended the Lakers players not only for their athletic achievements, but also their work off the court. The players held a fitness clinic for Washington-area school children Monday, and several players are donating money to relief efforts in Haiti.
奥巴马不仅对湖人将帅的在球场上取得的运动成就大加赞赏，同时也对他们在球场下所做的慈善工作提出了肯定。（周一，队员们在华盛顿地区为学生们开办了一家健康诊所。一些队员还为海地的抗震救灾工作捐款。）

The Lakers added to Obama's collection of sports jerseys, presenting him with a bright yellow jersey with the president's name stitched on the back.
得知奥巴马有收集运动衫的爱好，湖人队员送给了奥巴马一件背面绣着他名字的亮黄色球衫。
