On a recent afternoon in Rowlett, Texas, Police Corporal Patrick Ray poured imaginary tea into a minuscule cup adorned with pink flowers for his 2-year-old hostess, Bexley. The occasion for the outdoor tea party was the one-year anniversary marking the day the Rowlett officer saved Bexley Norvell's life.
不久前在德克薩斯羅萊特，有天下午，下士警員帕特里克·瑞手持鑲有粉色小花的迷你杯，假想著杯中有水，給兩歲的小小女主人貝斯麗斟茶。這場(chǎng)戶(hù)外茶會(huì)是為了紀(jì)念羅萊特的警官拯救貝斯麗·諾威滿(mǎn)一周年。

On July 26, 2015, Ray responded to the Norvells' home after getting a call about a child in distress. Bexley, then 22 months old, became unresponsive after swallowing a small coin, which became lodged in her throat.
2015年7月26日，瑞接到諾威家的來(lái)電后立馬行動(dòng)，當(dāng)時(shí)22個(gè)月大的貝斯麗吞下一枚小硬幣，硬幣梗塞在喉，喚之已無(wú)從回應(yīng)。

Ray tried to clear the little girl's airways. A few minutes later, Bexley began breathing again and started crying.
瑞盡其所能清理小女孩的氣道。幾分鐘后，貝斯麗重新開(kāi)始呼吸了，并且哭出聲來(lái)。

Looking back on that day a year ago, the Rowlett cop, who has two children of his own, said of the moment Bexley finally drew a breath: 'It was the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard in my entire life.' Patrick Ray has been in the Norvells’ thoughts and prayers for the past year.
瑞自己也有兩個(gè)小孩，回首一年前的那天，這位羅萊特的警察說(shuō)道，貝斯麗吐息的那一瞬，"是我此生迄今為止聽(tīng)到的最美妙的聲音。“過(guò)去的這一年里，帕特里克·瑞都是諾威一家心心念念為之祈禱的對(duì)象。

To celebrate Bexley's new lease on life and her special bond with Officer Ray, Mrs Norvell organized a tea party for the two buddies and hired a professional photographer to capture the special occasion.
為慶祝貝斯麗的新生和與瑞警官特殊的情誼，諾威夫人為他倆組織了一場(chǎng)茶會(huì)，聘請(qǐng)了專(zhuān)業(yè)照相師來(lái)捕捉這一特別的時(shí)刻。

Photos from the touching reunion show the burly cop in his uniform blues towering over little Bexley, dressed in a flouncy pink dress and pearls, and holding a dainty umbrella to shield herself from the sun. The pair sat in tiny chairs at a miniature table covered with a festive white tablecloth. A vase with cheerful yellow flowers stood in the middle next to a delicate toy tea set and a plate of treats.
這次重聚感人至深，照片上的警官身著藍(lán)色制服，身材結(jié)實(shí)偉岸，小貝斯麗身穿粉色小禮服、佩戴珍珠，手持精巧的小傘遮擋著陽(yáng)光。這一組合坐在小椅子上，迷你小桌上蓋著節(jié)日氣息的白色桌布。桌子中央是歡騰的小黃花花瓶，擺在精細(xì)的玩具茶具組合還有一盤(pán)小點(diǎn)心旁邊。

The Rowlett cop said he is looking forward to seeing Bexley grow up and build a family of her own.
這名羅萊特警官稱(chēng)他很期待看著貝斯麗長(zhǎng)大，看她組建自己的家庭。
