After signing a five-year, $195 million rookie extension this offseason, Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell is sharing the wealth.
在簽下5年195M美金的合約之後，Donovan Mitchell便慷慨解囊。

Mitchell and his family agreed to the largest single pledge of support in the history of the Greenwich Country Day School, promising $12 million to the school he graduated from in 2012, according to a press release Friday.
根據週五的報導所稱，Mitchell和他的家人同意了一筆12M的贊助，給他在2012年畢業的母校Greenwich Country Day School，此承諾為該校歷史上最大的贊助。

His mother, Nicole, was a lower elementary school teacher at GCDS from 2007 until just last year and his sister, Jordan, graduated from the school in 2017.
他的母親Nicole從2007年至去年都在該校擔任小學低年級的老師，而他的妹妹Jordan也在2017從該校畢業。

Some of the funds will be used for the Mitchell Family Scholarship Fund, which is set to help GCDS “remain a leader in providing need-based aid for students in grades Nursery through 12,” per the release. There will also be a Nicole Mitchell Faculty Support Fund, awarded annually at the opening faculty meeting to a teacher in each of the four divisions at the school who has demonstrated the “passion, enthusiasm, optimism, and love for children always shown by Nicole Mitchell.”
部分資金將用在他為該校設立的獎學金(Mitchell Family Scholarship Fund)上，用於為幼稚園到12年級的學生的基本所需提供幫助。
也有部分用在以他母親命名的教師基金(Nicole Mitchell Faculty Support Fund)上，用於每年獎勵該校四個部門中各部門符合資格的一位老師，跟他的母親Nicole一樣，總是對小孩保持熱心、熱情、樂觀和愛心。

Additionally, Mitchell’s donation will be used to build “The Determination Over Negativity Mitchell Family Athletic Center.” According to the announcement, it will be a “state-of-the-art gymnasium and will house one full court (NCAA regulation court) with full stands on both sides.”
除此之外，資金也將用來建造體育館(The Determination Over Negativity Mitchell Family Athletic Center)，這將會是最先進的體育館，並有一個兩側看台的NCAA標準的球場。

“I know how lucky I have been to have the foundation of my education happen here at Country Day,” Donovan said via the school’s press release. “This school
has shaped who I am in so many ways, and I feel blessed to be able to give backand make the Country Day experience available for more kids especially those from inner-city neighborhoods or with backgrounds like mine.
「我知道在這裡擁有教育基礎有多麼幸運。」Mitchell說道，「這間學校成就現在的我，而我很感激我現在可以回饋了，讓更多孩子來學校體驗生活，特別是那些來自市中心或是跟我有相同成長環境的孩子。」

“Over the past few years on my NBA journey, I have made it my mission to champion the causes of equity, social justice, and equal opportunity, especially in education. There is no better school anywhere to carry forward this mission and my family is excited to make this happen.”
「在過去NBA的幾年裡，我的使命就是捍衛公平、社會正義和機會平等，特別是在教育上。沒有比學校更好的地方來實現這些，我的家人也對此感到興奮。」

During the 2019-20 playoffs in the Orlando bubble, Mitchell became the third player in NBA history to score 50 or more points twice in a playoff series, joining Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson.
在2019-20的「泡泡」季後賽，Mitchell繼Michael Jordan和Allen Iverson之後，成為史上第三位在同一個系列賽拿下兩次50分以上的球員。

It was a no-brainer for Utah to extend Mitchell, who quickly asserted himself as a cornerstone of the organization when he was runner-up for the rookie of the year award, to a guaranteed $163 million deal with an incentivized maximum of $195 million.
對爵士來說，延長Mitchell的合約很明智。在拿下年度新秀第一隊之後，Mitchell很快地成為爵士的基石，並得到163M的合約，加上激勵獎金最高可達195M美金。

“As great an athlete as he was, Donovan was an even nicer young man,” GCDS head Adam Rohdie said of the 2020 NBA All-Star. “He is a man of the highest character and he has lived his life embodying the Country Day creed of TIGER PRIDE which asks our students to be kind, empathetic, respectful, thoughtful, and to actwith the highest levels of integrity.”
「Mitchell是個出色的運動員，更是一名優先的年輕人。」該校負責人Adam Rohdie在2020全明星賽時說道，「他是一個品格高尚的人，他秉持著本校TIGER PRIDE的信條，該精神要求我們的學生友善、善解人意、尊重、為人著想，並以最高的誠信行事。」
