滿臉胎記的男孩獲得來自網絡的關愛

Israelis are drawing dots on their faces -- and it's not some new way to observe the Jewish High Holy Days being celebrated around the world this week.

最近，很多以色列人往自己臉上畫斑點，這可跟這周要來的猶太高聖日無關。

They're doing it to support 8-year-old Erez Gaon, who has numerous birthmarks on his face and body due to a rare congenital condition.

他們這樣做，只爲支持8歲男孩Erez Gaon。Erez Gaon因患罕見的先天性疾病，臉上和身上有很多點狀胎記。

Erez's mom, Ruthi, posted a message to Facebook on Saturday after a couple of people made fun of her son. She also posted a photo of herself, sporting her own constellation of brown dots and making funny expressions alongside adorable Erez.

上週六，有幾個人嘲笑了Erez的胎記。這之後，Erez的媽媽在Facebook上發了條心情。同時，她還發了張把自己滿臉畫上棕色斑點與Erez的搞怪合影。

"I swear I got used to people staring at you, the comments behind our back, the sad fact is that no matter how much we talk of inclusion and acceptance the different remains excluded and will always draw attention," she wrote. "Sometimes it is even amusing. But it is hard for me when people are just mean. How can someone laugh about you my beloved son?"

“我發誓已經習慣人們盯着你看和在我們背後指指點點。可悲的是，無論社會怎麼推崇包容和接受，殘疾人羣還是會被排斥，”她在Facebook上寫道。“即使這看起來很可笑，但人們的刻薄讓我很難接受。怎麼能有人嘲笑你呢，我親愛的兒子？”

The internet, not always known for being kind, quickly put its best face forward. Many Israelis answered Ruthi's heartfelt post with kind words of their own, and supporters of all ages posted spotted photos of themselves with a Hebrew hashtag that translates to "Friends of Erez."

但這一次，網絡卻展現給我們善良友好的一面。很多以色列網友友善的回覆了Ruthi的心情。還有很多支持者往自己臉上畫斑點，發出帶有“Erez的朋友”標籤的圖片。

"I am proud and excited to among the friends of Erez," Rotem Smadja wrote. "Genius Erez, sweet Erez, you are simply amazing."

“成爲Erez的朋友，我非常榮幸和激動，”一名叫Rotem Smadja的網友這樣寫道。“聰明可愛的Erez，你簡直太棒了。”

Included in the stream of photos from friends, strangers and even brands that put dots on their products is one of Erez's brother Asaf and sister Noa.

Erez一家開始源源不斷收到人們在自己臉上塗滿斑點的照片，甚至有商家在自己產品上也畫上斑點，Erez的哥哥Asaf和姐姐Noa也有參與其中。

"We are so proud of you little brother," the caption reads.

他們寫道“我們真爲你感到驕傲，親愛的弟弟。”

In addition to Facebook, the Gaons share their story on yooocan, an online community for people with disabilities started several months ago by Erez's dad, Yoav, and uncle, Moshe. The site, currently in beta, features inspirational stories and resources for people with disabilities and also sells assistive products and services.

除了Facebook，他們一家的故事也被分享到了yooocan網上。這個網站是Erez爸爸和叔叔幾個月前開辦的，主要爲殘疾人羣提供在線交流社區。雖然現在還是測試版，但上面爲殘疾人準備了很多勵志故事和資源。同時，還提供輔助殘疾人輔助產品售賣和相關服務。
