英國患癌少年與時間賽跑 列遺願清單籌善款大綱

The 19-year-old, Stephen Sutton, who has raised more than £3.22 million for the Teenage Cancer Trust, was readmitted to hospital with breathing difficulties caused by bowel cancer on last Sunday.這位19歲的英國少年斯蒂芬·薩頓，已經爲青少年癌症信託機構籌集了超過322萬英鎊（約3367萬元）的善款。上週日，他因爲直腸癌引起的呼吸困難被重新送回醫院。

In April, Stephen touched the hearts of the nation after posting a picture on his Facebook page where he said his 'last goodbye' to his friends and family at Birmingham Queen Elizabeth hospital.
今年四月，斯蒂芬在伯明翰伊麗莎白女王醫院裏拍了一張照片傳到了臉書主頁上，向他的朋友和家人做最後的“道別”，這深深地觸動了英國人民的心靈。

Despite being told he would be unlikely to survive more than a few years, he decided to make a 46 part bucket-list of things to do before he dies. Top of his list was to raise £100,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
儘管斯蒂芬被告知他只能再活幾年了，他還是決定列一份“遺願清單”，其中包含了他在死前想要完成的46項事情。“遺願清單”的第一項就是爲青少年癌症信託機構籌款100萬英鎊。

After an internet campaign saw his fundraising target of £1million smashed, he made a mild recovery and was allowed home.
在一輪網絡宣傳過後， 斯蒂芬100萬英鎊的籌款目標沒能實現，但是他的病情緩慢有所好轉並且被允許回家了。

Three weeks ago, his blog went viral when, with a collapsed lung and believing he was ‘a goner’, the teenager posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed giving his trademark thumbs-up sign. His message touched hearts across the world.
三週之前，他的博客在網上瘋傳。隨着肺部情況的急劇惡化，斯蒂芬認爲自己是一個“將死者”，但是他發佈了一張自己在病牀上豎起標誌性的大拇指的照片。他傳達的信息觸動了全世界的心靈。

Stephen's trademark thumbs-up pose was coined after he sent a message from his hospital bed with the message 'a final thumbs up from me'. Countless celebrities and politicians, including Prime Minister David Cameron (pictured with Stephen two weeks ago) rallied to help the teenager.
在斯蒂芬從病牀上傳達出“我最後一次豎起大拇指”的信息後，他的標誌性豎起大拇指的姿勢得到了紛紛響應。無數的名人和政治家團結一致地幫助這個少年，其中包括英國首相卡梅倫（這張與斯蒂芬的合照拍攝於兩週之前）。

But on Monday night his family posted a message on Facebook which read: 'Unfortunately in the last 24 hours Stephen's condition has deteriorated to where he can no longer communicate through this page himself.
但是在週一晚上，他的家人在臉書上發佈了消息：“不幸的是，斯蒂芬在過去的24小時內已經持續惡化了，他已經不能親自通過這個主頁與你們交流了。”

'We appreciate everyone's concern, and for all the love and goodwill sent his way, and indeed ours too, we thank you deeply.'
“我們感激所有人對他還有對我們一家人一路上的關心、愛與祝願。我們深深地感激着你們。”

Sadly, the British teen with cancer who raised more than £3.22 million for charity died in his sleep Wednesday morning, his mom said.
令人難過的是，斯蒂芬的母親告訴我們，這個籌集了超過322萬英鎊善款的英國少年已經在週三的清晨在睡夢中永遠離去了。

“I'm deeply saddened to hear that Stephen Sutton has died. His spirit, bravery and fundraising for cancer research were all an inspiration,” Cameron tweeted.
卡梅倫在推特網上說：“我聽到斯蒂芬·薩頓離世的消息萬分悲痛。他勇敢的精神和爲癌症研究籌款的行爲對我們來說都是一種激勵。”

“We all know he will never be forgotten, his spirit will live on, in all that he achieved and shared with so many,” his mom wrote on Facebook.”
他媽媽在臉書上寫道：“我們知道他永遠不會被忘記，他的精神將會永存，因爲他所實現的目標以及和這麼多人分享過的歷程。”
