科比高中母校失窃 球衣、奖杯和签名鞋被盗

 　　Former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant's Philadelphia-area high school was broken into and the thieves made out with quite a haul of the NBA legend's memorabilia. Or so they thought.

　　前洛杉矶湖人队传奇球星科比·布莱恩特位于费城的高中母校于日前失窃，窃贼盗走多件属于这位NBA传奇球星的纪念品，或者是窃贼认为属于科比的纪念品。

　　Authorities are investigating the theft of several items that were lifted from a display case outside the Bryant Gymnasium at Lower Merion High School.

　　当地警方正在调查这起盗窃案，失窃的物品都摆在劳尔梅里恩高中布莱恩特体育馆外的陈列柜中。

　　While the looters likely assumed that the case known as "Kobe's Shrine¹" was filled with valuable relics², the school says that the items are mostly nostalgic and aren't worth much.

　　窃贼大概认为这座标有“科比圣地”的柜子中肯定存有价值不菲的纪念品，不过校方表示这些纪念品只是用于怀旧，并不具备多高的价值。

　　“这些物品代表着我校历史上一段成就﹑团结与骄傲并存的美好时光--也就是学校夺得1996年州冠军的时刻--并向一名为我校与体坛做出长久贡献的校友表示祝贺。”
