Humboldt Broncos 'hero' inspires new organ donors
洪堡野马 "英雄" 激励新器官捐赠者
Organ donor signups have surged in several provinces in response to Logan Boulet, the Humboldt Broncos player who donated his organs to six patients following the tragic bus collision that killed him and 14 others in Saskatchewan.
在萨斯喀彻温省发生的车祸导致了洪堡野马冰球队的球员Logan Boulet和其他14个人的死亡。Logan Boulet把器官捐献给六名病人,这一举动使在数个省份的器官捐献者注册激增。
Boulet was fatally injured, but remained on life support after the crash, until doctors from the University of Alberta could be flown in to harvest his organs. His godfather, Neil Langevin, said Boulet had signed his donor card shortly after turning 21 in March.
Boulet 在事故中严重受伤,但在撞车事故后继续用呼吸机维持生命,直到艾伯塔省大学的医生可以飞到当地来领取他的器官。他的教父Neil Langevin 说,Boulet 在不久前的3月份满21岁后,就签署了捐赠卡。
That decision was inspired by his beloved coach, Ric Suggit, who died in 2017. Boulet’s father, Toby Boulet, clearly remembers the day his son told him that he wanted to be an organ donor, just like Suggit.
他钟爱的教练 Ric Suggit 于2017年的去世激励了他的决定。Boulet 的父亲,Toby Boulet,清楚地记得那一天,他儿子告诉他, 他想就像 Suggit 一样成为器官捐献者。
“I’m thinking, that’s nice, by the time you’re a donor, they’ll never want your stuff, but that’s good, because he’s going to outlive me,” Toby Boulet told CTV Lethbridge. “That didn’t happen.”
“当时我想,这很好,当你成为一个器官捐献者的时候,永远不会有人会用到你的器官的。可这是好事,因为他一定会比我长寿的,” Toby Boulet 告诉Lethbridge CTV。”但是事与愿违。“
Boulet remembered his son as a team player who strived to “be a giver, not a taker.” He was also a focused athlete who won his team’s physical fitness award the last two years in a row.
Boulet 记得他的儿子是个有团队精神的队员,他努力去做一个”奉献者,而不是索取者“。他也是一个专注的运动员,他连续两年赢得了球队的体能奖。
“He would have won -- and that’s our personal opinion -- this year,” Boulet said.
“以我们自己的判断是,(如果没有这个事故)他今年会赢的,” Boulet 说。
Even as his son was on life support in hospital, doctors remarked on the strength of his heart, Boulet said.
Boulet 说,即便是他的儿子在医院里靠呼吸机维持生命的期间,医生们还是特别提到他的心脏特别有力量。
“They said he had the strongest heart that they had seen that anyone could ever remember. His heart was so strong, he was so fit,” Boulet said.
他们说,他是他们所有人记忆中有着最强劲的心脏的人,他的心脏非常强大,他非常的健康,”Boulet 说。
One woman hailed Boulet as a “hero” on social media, saying that her aunt will get a second chance at life thanks to his kidney.
一位妇女在社交媒体上称赞 Boulet 为 “英雄”,她说,感谢他捐赠的肾脏,让她的姑姑获得第二次生命。
