Rejane Chili is 49 years old and lives in Porto Alegre, Brazil. A few months ago, she found out that she had cancer and the disease quickly progressed into a terminal state.
今年49年的蕾珍·绮丽住在巴西的阿雷格里港。几个月前她查出了自己患了癌症,并且病情迅速恶化。
Very debilitated, Rejane can no longer leave the hospital, having being kept there several weeks already. Throughout this difficult period, the woman receives the regular visit from her friends and family, but she often complains about the absence of someone very special.
几周之后,她的身体越来越虚弱,已经离不开医院了。在这段艰难的时期,她的家人和朋友经常过来探望陪伴她,但她经常抱怨见不到她那位特殊的朋友。
Rejane is crazy about her dog Ritchie. She's taken care of him ever since he was a puppy and spoils her pet as much as she does her own son.
蕾珍所说的是她的爱犬里奇,她非常想念它。在里奇还很小的时候,蕾珍就开始照料它,像亲生孩子一样宠爱它。
For Rejane, being apart from him has been torture. Scared about the possibility of dying without seeing Ritchie again, she asks several times for the dog to be brought in for a last visit. However, the hospital's police are against the presence of animals. Mostly because the risk of contamination is very high for someone with such poor health.
对蕾珍来说,与里奇分开这么久让她非常煎熬。因为害怕不能爱犬最后一面,蕾珍多次请求把她的爱犬带过来让她见见。但是院方不允许将动物带进来。主要考虑到这么做的话,很容易感染身体状况这么差的病人。
But Rejane is dying, and coming into contact with a few extra germs cannot greatly deteriorate her current state. Touched by this final wish, the hospital where she is being treated, decides to make an exception and allow the entry of this furry visitor.
但蕾珍已经到了生命中的最后一刻,即使感染一些细菌也不会对她当前的状态产生多大的影响了。最终,被她最后的愿望所感动,她所在的医院决定破一次例,允许把里奇带进来。
On the agreed day, Tiago, Rejane's son, travels with the dog in a taxi to meet his mum. For security reasons, the meeting is scheduled to take place in a special room.
在指定的那天,蕾珍的儿子蒂亚戈带着里奇坐计程车来到医院看望妈妈。出于安全考虑,这次会面被安排在一个特殊的房间。
However, once Ritchie sees from far away his owner, he can't wait a minute more. The animal runs toward Rejane and before anyone could react, he jumps onto her hospital bed, licking her face. What a moving encounter! For those around them, it is impossible to hold back the tears.
然而,在里奇远远看看女主人的那一刹那,它便不愿再多等一分钟。在所有人都还没反应过来的时候,它已经径直奔向蕾珍,跳到她的病床上,舔她的脸。多么感人的懈逅!此时,周围的人也已抑制不住自己的眼泪。
