生命最後3個月 美國癌症少年寫歌道別大綱

A teenager suffering from an untreatable form of cancer has recorded a song to say goodbye to his friends and family after being told he has only another three months to one year to live.

在被告知只有3個月到1年的存活時間時，這位身患一種絕症的年輕人錄了一首歌曲來告別朋友和家人。

Seventeen-year-old Zach Sobiech of Lakeland, Minnesota wrote the song, titled 'Clouds,' and posted a video of his studio recording on YouTube.

17歲少年扎克·索比希來自明尼蘇達州雷克蘭市，他寫下了這首名爲“白雲”的歌曲，並把視頻錄像上傳到了YouTube網站。

The video has amassed more than 412,000 views in the last 10 days.

在過去的十天內，視頻點擊率超過了41.2萬次。

In the chorus, he sings: 'And we’ll go up, up, up, but I’ll fly a little higher. We’ll go up in the clouds, because the view is a littler nicer. Up here, my dear. It won’t be long now; it won’t be long now.'

在副歌部分，他唱到：“我們會飛得更高，更高，更高，而我要飛得再高一點。我們會飛到雲朵上面，因爲那裏的風景會更好一點。飛到上面來吧，親愛的。不會等很久了，很快就到了。”

Sobiech was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that develops in children, in 2009 when he was 14 years old. The cancer affects just 400 people under the age of 20 each year.

2009年，14歲的索比希他被診斷出罹患骨肉癌，這是一種會在兒童身上出現的骨癌。每年全球在20歲以下的人羣中，會有400個人患上這種癌症。

He was diagnosed after going to the doctor for a persistent pain in his hip, where doctors discovered he had a large tumor. Since his diagnosis, Sobiech has had dozens of surgeries including a hip replacement, as well as months of chemotherapy.

他是在臀部持續疼痛去看醫生之後被診斷出癌症的，醫生在他的臀部發現了一個大腫瘤。自那之後，索比希經歷了一系列包括換臀在內的外科手術，還有一連好幾個月的化療。

His family has established a fund in his name - the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund - to help raise money for his rare disease.

他的家人已經用他的名字成立了扎克·索比希基金會，募集善款希望可以治療他罕見的疾病。

The fund awards donors of $20 or more with a copy of Zach's album, which features his song, 'Clouds.'

捐贈者只要爲基金會捐贈20美元，就會獲得一份扎克的音樂集，裏面收錄了他的歌曲“白雲”。
