保羅•哈理斯在美國首府
因「多走一英里路」獲得表揚
Paul Harris to be honored in U.S. capital for going the extra mile
(譯註：go the extra mile 多走一英里之引申意為「特別努力」)
(轉載自中文扶輪月刊2004/03)
扶輪創始人保羅．哈理斯成為美國華盛頓特區一座新樹立的全國紀念碑所表揚的70名美國卓越義工之一。這座紀念碑就位於緊臨白宮與美國財政部的一英里長的小路上。
Rotary founder Paul Harris is among more than 70 outstanding U.S. volunteers who will be honored through a new national memorial in Washington, D.C, located on a one-mile path adjacent to the White House and U.S. Treasury Department.
完工之後，這條「多走一英里：義工之路」將樹立許多大型銅質獎章，上頭有每位受表揚者的肖像、成就介紹，有的還附有引言。每個大獎章直徑達42英吋(超過1公尺)，預定在2004年年中完成。
When completed, "The Extra Mile" Volunteer Pathway will feature bronze medallions with a likeness of each honoree, a description of his or her achievements, and/or a quotation. Each of the medallions will measure 42 inches (more than 1 meter) in diameter. Dedication is planned for mid-2004.
國際扶輪理事會已經通過一項計畫來協助保羅．哈理斯獎章的興建工作。這個獎章將放置在樹立於人行道的花崗石上，目前已經開始募集興建此紀念碑所需的5萬美元。
The RI Board of Directors has approved a project to facilitate the construction of the Paul Harris medallion, which will be placed in a block of granite set into the sidewalk. An effort is under way to raise US$50,000 toward the cost of the monument.
據此計畫共同主委國際扶輪副社長小柯林斯(Frank C. Collins Jr.)以及前地區總監布雷恩(Jack B. Blane)在致所有美國地區總監、國際扶輪所有職員、以及扶輪基金會保管委員的信函中說：「預計每年有超過170萬人前來參觀這條義工之路，這個獎章將永遠樹立在該處，為國際扶輪製造很好的公關機會。」
"More than 1.7 million visitors are expected to see the Pathway each year and the medallion will remain there in perpetuity, creating a wonderful public relations opportunity for Rotary International," according to RI Vice President Frank C. Collins Jr. and Past District Governor Jack B. Blane, co-chairs of the project, in a letter addressed to all U.S. district governors, RI general officers, and The Rotary Foundation Trustees.
發起這項計畫的美國光明基金會相信，這個紀念物將有助於提升走過這條義工之路的遊客內心的義工精神。
The Points of Light Foundation, initiator of the program, believes that the memorial will help promote the spirit of volunteerism among visitors who walk along the pathway.
