2018-06-22来源:和谐英语

A high school student in Pennsylvania is graduating with a special honor, after never missing a day of school from Pre-K to 12th grade.

宾夕法尼亚州的一名高中生以一项特殊的荣誉毕业,他从学前班到12年级(备注:相当于中国的高三)从未缺课一天。

Kevin Davis, a recent graduate of Mastery Charter’s Pickett Campus in Philadelphia, was the first student in school history to attend 2,340 straight days of class.

凯文.戴维斯最近刚从费城的马斯特瑞特许学校的皮卡德校区毕业,他是该校历史上第一个连续上了2340天课的学生。

“I see my parents go to work every day when they don’t feel good or when they’re in pain so I figured: ‘Why don’t I do the same and go to school?’” Davis was quoted as saying.

报道援引戴维斯的话说:“我看到我的父母感觉不舒服或痛苦时都每天去上班,所以我想:‘为什么我不做同样的事,去上学呢?’”

Faculty and staff said Davis’ feat is impressive.

教职员工表示,戴维斯的举动令人印象深刻。

“This young man has never missed a day of school. And I’m not just talking about high school, from Pre-K to 12th grade,” principal Margaux Munnelly said at the school’s graduation.

玛戈.穆纳利校长在学校的毕业典礼上说:“这个年轻人从未缺课一天。我说的不仅仅是高中,而是从学前班到12年级。”

Last football season, he dislocated his shoulder and went to the hospital but was in class the next morning, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia.

据费城福克斯29频道报道,上次足球赛季,他肩膀脱臼去了医院,但第二天早上还是来上课了。

Davis’ success is also driven by the memory of his grandmother, Oma. He wants to attend culinary school and then open a restaurant called “Oma Goodness” in honor of Oma, who passed away in 2010.

戴维斯的成功也得益于他对祖母奥马的怀念。他想上烹饪学校,然后开一家名为“Oma Goodness”的餐厅,以纪念2010年去世的奥马。

Teachers at Mastery Charter, inspired by Davis’ humble nature, organized a GoFundMe page to help him meet his goal of $25,000 so he can attend a culinary program.

在戴维斯谦逊天性的鼓舞下,马斯特瑞特许学校的教师组织了一个GoFundMe页面,以帮助他实现25,000美元的众筹目标额,这样他就可以学习烹饪课程了。

“I’m excited and I appreciate everyone that did donate and help me, I appreciate that and their money isn’t gonna be wasted,” Davis said.

戴维斯说:“我很兴奋,我很感激所有捐款和帮助我的人,我很感激,他们的钱不会白花的。”
