Raddit: A hero visited my work today

By shade21

這篇是名在科羅拉多州受害者的醫院中工作的工作人員所寫。因為 Bale 的這個行程是非公開的，所以並沒有很多詳細的報導，我們只能從這些地方看出一些端倪。

He came up in a crowded elevator. With him was an old woman in a wheelchair holding a picture of Jesus. She didnt know who he was, and he smiled and said "its a good thing."

（他乘坐一台相當擁擠的電梯上樓， 有一名老婦人坐著輪椅在他身邊，婦人手上拿著耶穌的照片。她並不清楚他是誰，他對著婦人微笑說「有耶穌的陪伴很好。」）

Bale could only see a select few on the floor who were stable enough, and from them had Bale's visit was a great experience. 

（Bale 只能拜訪那些已經狀況比較穩定病人的樓層。從他們的經驗看來，Bale 的到訪帶給他們很棒的體驗。）

for the most part everyone was ecstatic. Bale was worried that some of them wouldnt handle it very well, which was not the case.

（大部分的時候，每個人都很雀躍 Bale 的來訪，但 Bale 十分擔心有些人無法接受他的拜訪，但他的擔心其實是多餘的。）

I dont know how many people in his position could do it. It was really really tough for him. 

（我不知道與其他人要是面對到與他同樣的狀況，有多少人會願意到我們這邊來。對他來說，這是項艱苦的任務。）

He was actually very scared before approaching the victims. His biggest worry was that his appearance would be a trigger for the victims. He didnt want to hurt them any more. 

（事實上，在接近每個受害者之前，他都非常地恐懼。他最大的擔憂是，他的出現是否會觸動受害者的心理創傷，他不希望受害者受到更多的傷害。）

I will admit, this is my first celebrity encounter, and given the circumstances, I was fueled with adrenaline. 

（這是我第一次與名人相遇。在這樣的狀況下，我的腎上腺素狂飆。）

He came wearing plain clothes, slightly groomed hair, and looked absolutely solemn. He was glamoured up by any means, nor did I think he tried to look too nice. 

（ 他穿著非常簡單的服裝到來，他的髮型有稍作修整，神色十分嚴肅。他很迷人，但我不覺得他有刻意讓自己看起來帥氣。）

I almost didnt recognize him in the crowd because of how plain he looked.

（因為他簡單的外表，當他混在人群中，我根本辨識不出他是誰。）

Some knew, some were shocked. They had their whole families with them, but Bale spent a lot of alone time with the victims. 

（有些人知道他是誰，有些人很震驚。很多受害者都有家人陪伴，只是 Bale 花很多時間與受害者相處。）

After spending some time with him, I learned that he was deeply saddened by the incident and his correlation with the whole thing. It was something that he felt he had to do. 

（ 與他相處了一會而後，我發現他是深深地因這起事件而悲傷，他與這個事件有所關連也讓他難過。這次的拜訪是他認為他該去做的。）

I see he wasnt doing it for attention. He was doing it for the dignity and compassion of the victim

（我知道他並不是為了引起大家的注意所以才來拜訪， 他是為了受害者的尊嚴與同情而到來。）

He walked around a little solemn, im sure due to the entire predicament. I felt his grief from his expressionless face. But I am so happy he did this. 

（ 因為整個事態嚴重，他在醫院內的神情都很凝重。從他的表情中可以看出，他十分地傷痛。我還是很高興他願意到來。）

He spent a good amount of time visiting each patient separately while everyone waited outside. Had a heartfelt one to one talk with then and expressed his condolences. Good Guy Christian Bale.

（他花很多時間與每個傷者見面，即使很多人都在門外等著他。他誠心地與每個人談話，他也表達了他的哀悼。Christian Bale 是個大好人。）
