阿富汗塑料衣男孩美梦成真:获梅西签名球衣

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.

阿根廷足球明星里奥·梅西赠送了不是一件，而是两件球衣给一位五岁的阿富汗男孩。该男孩的上个月成为了网络红人，当时他身穿用马克笔潦草地写着“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.

为了拿到梅西通过联合国儿童基金会寄送的礼物，穆尔塔扎·阿玛迪和他的家人从东部省份加兹尼来到了喀布尔。联合国儿童基金会阿富汗发言人Denise Shepherd-Johnson告诉法新社：“穆尔塔扎不停地笑。他不断重复着：'我爱梅西'。”

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.

联合国儿童基金会表示，梅西在球衣上签名，并用西班牙语在上面写着“With much love(带着很多爱)”，还附赠了一个足球。由于穆尔塔扎家境清寒，他买不起梅西的球衣。他们居住在靠近喀布尔的动荡的加兹尼，是受迫害的哈扎拉少数民族。

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.

他十五岁的哥哥哈玛扬简易地制作了蓝白相间的塑料上衣，用黑色马克笔潦草地写上了梅西的名字，并在一月中旬把穆尔塔扎身穿这件“球衣”的照片上传到了Facebook。这张照片打动了世界各地的足球迷，穆尔塔扎也因此被社交媒体授予了“小梅西”的称号。

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.

阿富汗足协称梅西正和他们联系安排和穆尔塔扎尽快见面，西班牙驻喀布尔大使馆表示将全力配合。但是梅西的随从工作人员于本月初表示，他们将既不证实也不否认关于此次见面的猜测。阿富汗受塔利班狂热的暴动分子控制，想要在这里安排一次见面，将面临安全挑战。
