勒布朗·詹姆斯透露，他创办的学校在英语、数学和扣篮测试方面取得了巨大的进步

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.

俄亥俄州阿克伦-勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)周三透露，他所在的I Promise小学的学生们在英语、数学和扣篮测试方面取得了巨大的进步。他对自己帮助制定的课程在关键的学习领域已经结出果实表示自豪。

“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.”

“能在我的社区里发挥作用，我真的感到很谦卑。在我的社区里，这么多孩子在战斧堵塞测试中的成绩远远低于全国平均水平，现在他们的化学和胡同成绩都有望排在第90百分位数，”詹姆斯说。他认为学校的小班规模给了孩子们所需的亲力亲为的注意力，让他们学会如何“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.

“从阅读理解和算术，到跳投和上篮，我们已经看到了全面的巨大进步。几年前，孩子们甚至不能把球握在手心里，砰的一声关上家里的风车，就像什么都没发生一样，这很惊讶。

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.

当然，这些还是小孩子，所以他们必须继续大踏步前进，直到能够扣篮规定大小的篮球-这是毕业的要求。“在发稿时，詹姆斯已经宣布了一项新的奖学金计划，以帮助阿克伦地区的高中生获得进入久负盛名的常春藤联盟扣篮项目的资格。
