阿富汗塑料衣男孩美夢成真:獲梅西簽名球衣
Argentine football star Lionel Messi has sent not one, but two jerseys to the five-year-old Afghan boy who became an Internet sensation last month when he was pictured wearing a plastic bag with "Messi" scrawled on it in marker pen.
阿根廷足球明星里奧·梅西贈送了不是一件，而是兩件球衣給一位五歲的阿富汗男孩。該男孩的上個月成爲了網絡紅人，當時他身穿用馬克筆潦草地寫着“梅西”的塑料袋的一幕恰巧被拍到。Murtaza Ahmadi travelled with his family from eastern Ghazni province to Kabul to receive the gifts sent by Messi through UNICEF. "Murtaza couldn't stop smiling. He kept repeating: I love Messi," UNICEF Afghanistan spokesman Denise Shepherd-Johnson told AFP.
爲了拿到梅西通過聯合國兒童基金會寄送的禮物，穆爾塔扎·阿瑪迪和他的家人從東部省份加茲尼來到了喀布爾。聯合國兒童基金會阿富汗發言人Denise Shepherd-Johnson告訴法新社：“穆爾塔扎不停地笑。他不斷重複着：'我愛梅西'。”
Messi autographed the jerseys, writing "With much love" in Spanish on them, and added a football to the treasure trove, UNICEF said. Purchasing a Messi jersey was beyond the means of Murtaza's poor family, members of the persecuted ethnic Hazara minority living in volatile Ghazni, near Kabul.
聯合國兒童基金會表示，梅西在球衣上簽名，並用西班牙語在上面寫着“With much love(帶着很多愛)”，還附贈了一個足球。由於穆爾塔扎家境清寒，他買不起梅西的球衣。他們居住在靠近喀布爾的動盪的加茲尼，是受迫害的哈扎拉少數民族。
His elder brother Homayoun, 15, improvised the blue-and-white-striped plastic shirt with Messi's name scrawled in black marker, and posted the photos of Murtaza wearing it on Facebook in mid-January. The image touched a chord with football fans around the world, and earned Murtaza the sobriquet "little Messi" on social media.
他十五歲的哥哥哈瑪揚簡易地製作了藍白相間的塑料上衣，用黑色馬克筆潦草地寫上了梅西的名字，並在一月中旬把穆爾塔扎身穿這件“球衣”的照片上傳到了Facebook。這張照片打動了世界各地的足球迷，穆爾塔扎也因此被社交媒體授予了“小梅西”的稱號。The Afghan Football Federation had said Messi was in contact with them to arrange a meeting with Murtaza as soon as possible, with the Spanish embassy in Kabul telling AFP it would do whatever possible to facilitate. But a source close to Messi's entourage said earlier this month they could neither confirm nor deny the speculation regarding a possible meeting. Setting up a meeting in Afghanistan, in the grip of a fierce Taliban insurgency, is fraught with security challenges.
阿富汗足協稱梅西正和他們聯繫安排和穆爾塔扎儘快見面，西班牙駐喀布爾大使館表示將全力配合。但是梅西的隨從工作人員於本月初表示，他們將既不證實也不否認關於此次見面的猜測。阿富汗受塔利班狂熱的暴動分子控制，想要在這裏安排一次見面，將面臨安全挑戰。
