推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 1.22W 次

While some girls dream of looking like a princess, this girl dreamed of making that wish come true for young cancer patients.
當其他女孩夢想着看起來像公主一樣時,這個女孩的夢想卻是讓年輕的癌症患者們能夠美夢成真。

Charlie Tillotson, 6, of Sidmouth, England, had never gotten a haircut, and was passionate about protecting her long, golden locks, according to the Daily Star.
6歲的查理•蒂洛森來自英國小鎮Sidmouth。據報紙Daily Star報道,她曾熱衷於保持自己的滿頭金髮,從不剪短它。

"She has always wanted to grow it as long as Rapunzel," her father said.
她父親說:“她總是想頭髮和長髮公主的一樣長。”
小編注:Rapunzel是格林童話《萵苣姑娘》裏的主人公,有一頭長髮。

However, after watching a T.V. show about kids battling cancer, Charlie was inspired to chop off her locks for Little Princess Trust, an organization that donates wigs to young cancer patients. She also decided to raise money for Children With Cancer U.K. -- a charity that aims to help children and teenagers fight cancer -- through a fundraising page that her father helped her set up.
但在電視裏看到病童們如何和癌症做鬥爭後,查理將自己的頭髮剪下,捐給了Little Princess Trust——一家爲癌症兒童捐贈假髮的機構。她在父親的幫助下建了一個網頁,爲Children With Cancer U.K.募捐。這是一個幫助兒童和青少年對抗癌症的慈善機構。

Charlie's father, Steve Tillotson, said he was moved by his daughter's request.
查理的父親史蒂夫•蒂洛森說自己被女兒的請求所感動。

"She came up to me ... and said, 'Daddy, would you mind if I had all my hair cut off for children with cancer?'" Tillotson told the Sidmouth Herald. "I welled up."
“她走到我面前說,爸爸,你介意我把頭髮剪下來送給癌症兒童嗎?”史蒂夫•蒂洛森說,“我當時感動的不得了。”

Her haircut took 2 feet off her total length of hair, and will be made into a wig for a child with cancer, according to Metro. While the cut took place two weeks ago, Charlie has already said she wants to do it all over again once her hair has grown back, and bring a smile to another child's face, the Daily Star reported.
據報紙Metro報道,她剪下的頭髮有2英尺長,將會用來爲一名癌症兒童做一頂假髮。Daily Star報道,查理在2周前剪掉了頭髮,但她願意等頭髮長長後再剪一次送給另一名病童讓他開心。

Her fundraiser was also successful. Tillotson said he and his daughter originally set a goal of raising 600 British pounds (about $1,010) through their Just Giving page. The fundraiser more than doubled their goal, bringing in more than 1300 pounds (about $2,200).
她的籌款活動也很成功。蒂洛森父女一開始的目標是通過他們的Just Giving網頁募集600英鎊。但目前籌集的款項超過目標的2倍,有大約1300鎊。

Charlie's good deeds did not go unnoticed. The town of Sidmouth is rewarding her by giving her a true princess treatment. Charlie will get her own float at the Sidmouth carnival, as well as a ball gown and tiara, according to the Sidmouth Herald.
查理的善行被人們發現。據當地報紙Sidmouth Herald報道,Sidmouth鎮決定獎勵給她真正的公主待遇。在Sidmouth狂歡節上,她將擁有專屬的彩車、舞服和頭冠。
