Time magazine released its annual list of the 100 "Most Influential People in the World" on Wednesday. Among them: Barack Obama; Mitt Romney; Hillary Clinton; Warren Buffett; Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge; Pippa Middleton; Tim Tebow; Jeremy Lin and Matt Lauer。

　　《時代》雜志在周三正式分布了2012全世界100位最有影響力的人物大名單，名單中的著名人物有：美國總統奧巴馬，美國共和黨總統競選人羅姆尼，美國國務卿希拉里·克林頓，股神巴菲特，劍橋公爵夫人凱特王妃，凱特的妹妹皮帕·米德爾頓，橄欖球明星四分衛蒂姆·蒂博，紐約尼克斯華裔球星林書豪，《今日秀》節目主持人馬特·勞爾等。

　　Jeremy Lin, New York Knicks starting point guard, is an individual that many children can aspire to be alike, according to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan who lauded the ball player for being one of the world's most influential persons. In the article, the secretary of education said kids can learn a great lesson from the injured Knicks point guard who graduated from Harvard University。

　　按照《時代》評選年度百大影響力人物的傳統，每一年各位名人都會互相對當年上榜人物作出評價。今年為林書豪作評價的是美國教育部長阿恩·鄧肯，他盛贊林書豪是如今孩子們學習的好榜樣，表示這位哈佛畢業生給孩子們上了偉大的一課。林書豪作為紐約尼克斯的當家控球后衛，目前因受傷休賽中。

　　"Jeremy Lin's story is a great lesson for kids everywhere because it debunks and defangs so many of the prejudices and stereotypes that unfairly hold children back. He's dispelled the idea that Asian-American guards somehow couldn't hack it in the NBA -- and that being a world-class athlete on the court is somehow at odds with being an excellent student off the court." Duncan wrote。

　　鄧肯這樣寫到："林書豪的故事給所有孩子們上了一課。他打破了那么多阻止孩子們前進的偏見和刻板印象，他改變了一直以來亞裔的籃球運動員很難勝任NBA控球后衛的看法，他也糾正了人們長期的錯誤觀念：場上打好球和場下讀好書其實不矛盾！”

　　"It's great to see good values rewarded in professional sports because that's not always the case," Duncan said in the Time report. "Often it's the bling, the glam, the individual that gets celebrated -- not the team and working together to advance a goal bigger than oneself."

　　鄧肯在《時代》雜志的文章中表示：“我很高興能夠看到，有這樣優秀品質的年輕人可以在職業體育的領域取得成功，不是所有人都有這樣的機遇。在林書豪身上，我們看不到浮躁和自私的個人主義，他一直在遵循團隊的精神實現目標”。

　　Lin's teammates seemed to be proud of the budding basketball star, while Lin remained humble about the recognition by tweeting, "Now I'm blushing."

　　林書豪的隊友第一時間在網上向他表示了祝賀，而林書豪則一如既往保持謙遜的態度，發推特表示“自己臉紅了”。
