Yet the image of Eagle Scouts has only risen over the decades in American life and culture─Indiana Jones, like Steven Spielberg, is an Eagle Scout, and so is Will Smith's character in 'Men in Black.' It is as close to a gold standard of youth as we have, which is why it is regularly noted in the obituaries of octogenarians alongside a lifetime list of other achievements.
然而,数十年来鹰童军在美国生活和文化中的形象却在提升──印第安纳·琼斯(Indiana Jones)与史蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格(Steven Spielberg)一样是一名鹰童军,威尔·史密斯(Will Smith)在《黑衣人》(Men in Black)中扮演的角色也是一名鹰童军。它近乎于我们已有的优秀青年的标准,这就是为什么很多80多岁的人去世后讣告中罗列其一生的成就时往往也会提到他是一名鹰童军。
And that reputation is deserved. A recent Gallup survey (for Baylor University) of Eagle Scouts, former Boy Scouts and men who never joined scouting found that America's Eagles are far more engaged with the world around them in almost every way─in community service, club membership, churchgoing, outdoor recreation, and the fields of education and health.
这样的名誉是名符其实的。盖洛普(Gallup)最近受贝勒大学(Baylor University)之托对鹰童军、前童子军和从没参加过童子军的男子做的一项调查发现,美国的鹰童军几乎在他们周围世界的任何方面都付出更多──社区服务、俱乐部、教堂礼拜、户外消遣以及教育和卫生领域。
