馬布里正式獲中國綠卡:這是莫大榮耀!

Former NBA star Stephon Marbury has become a permanent Chinese resident as he showed his "green card" on his Weibo account on Monday.

週一在微博上曬出中國綠卡之後，前NBA球星史蒂芬·馬布裏已經正式成爲中華人民共和國永久居民。

Marbury posted a short video on twitter-like Weibo, showing he received the Foreigner's Permanent Residence Card from Zhang Jiandong, vice mayor of Beijing.

馬布裏在推特上上傳了一小段視頻，在該視頻中，他從北京副市長張建東手中獲得了中華人民共和國外國人永久居留證。

Beijing's super guard is the first foreign player to get China's green card in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league's 21-year history.

這位北京隊的當家明星後衛是中國籃球職業聯賽21年曆史上第一位獲得中國綠卡的外籍球員。

"I'm so thankful and blessed to receive my green card today from the Beijing Government. It's a true honor to be part of the capital of China. I hope I can not only help win more championships but continue to bring positive energy and love," said the two-time NBA All-star.

這位兩屆NBA全明星球員說：“我非常榮幸，也非常感激能在今天收到來自北京市政府頒發的綠卡。能夠成爲中國首都的一份子，這是一個莫大的榮耀。希望我不僅可以幫助球隊拿到更多的總冠軍，也能繼續傳遞正能量與愛。”

A Chinese green card is one of the hardest to obtain with only around 5,000 issued since 2004, when the policy was introduced. That compares with about 600,000 foreigners currently living in China.

當中國綠卡政策正式出臺之後，自2004年至今，只有大約5000張發放出去，所以獲得它是非常困難的。目前居住在中國的外國人數量約爲60萬人。

The 39-year-old veteran, who steered Beijing to three titles in past four seasons, is recognized as the most successful foreign player in CBA history. A museum in honor of him was unveiled in downtown Beijing last December.

在過去的四個賽季裏，這位39歲的老將帶領北京隊拿下三個總冠軍，被公認爲是CBA歷史上最成功的外籍球員。去年12月，一家專門紀念馬布裏的博物館在北京市中心揭幕。
