老外在中国：格斗孤儿，警察能做的不只是执法

The league was founded in 1914 by a visionary police captain, John Sweeney, in New York City's poverty-stricken Lower East Side. The idea was to give youth a place to go and to help them build character through athletics. Today there's hardly a city of any size in the US that doesn't have a PAL affiliate or similar program. Millions of kids' lives have changed for the better.

1914年，一位远见卓识的警长约翰•斯威尼，在纽约贫困的下东区成立了该联盟，旨在为年轻人提供一个去处，通过体育运动塑造其个性。现在，在美国任何城市，都不难找到该联盟或类似的组织。数百万儿童的生活因此变得更美好。

Some PALs offer boxing and martial arts training, which would appeal to Derek. But that hardly scratches the surface of what they do. The national PAL association lists well over 100 activities for youth — a long lineup of sports, to be sure, but also training in life skills, the arts and academics; from cooking to computers, pottery to theater — all provided free of charge. Adult volunteers from all walks of life are welcome. In some places, police officers even help kids with their homework.

有些中心提供拳击和武术训练，这对德瑞克应该很有吸引力。但这只是他们提供的活动中的一小部分。美国警察体育联盟协会向青少年提供100多种活动——除了一长串的体育活动外，还包括生活技巧、艺术和学术培训；从烹饪做饭到电脑编程，从陶艺到戏剧，所有项目都是免费的。该协会欢迎各行各业的成人志愿者加入其中。某些地方，警察甚至帮孩子辅导家庭作业。
