艾迪·西姆斯是一位102岁的老奶奶,她的心愿单上有一个特别的愿望。最终多亏了圣路易斯的警官,她的这个愿望得以实现。
Edie Simms is a 102-year-old woman with an unusual item on her to-do list. And, thanks to some officers in St. Louis, she was able to cross that off.
艾迪的愿望就是:希望能拷上手铐被逮捕,坐在警车的后座上。
Edie wanted to be arrested -- handcuffed, placed in the back of a police cruiser.
五星级敬老院中心的迈克尔·霍华德在接受CNN下属的KPLR的采访时表示:“她坐在一辆警车上是如此兴奋不已,并且说道:'你可以把我的手拷上吗?'”
"She was so excited that she can ride in a police car and she said, 'Do you think you could put those handcuffs on me?'" Michael Howard of the Five Star Senior Center told CNN affiliate KPLR.
这位名叫艾迪的老奶奶曾经做了400多件手工物品,送给了这所敬老院的老人们--其中包括围巾,眼镜盒和锅垫。
Edie has produced over 400 handmade items -- scarves, eye glass cases, pot holders -- for the seniors at the center.
上周五她还是跟往常一样去了养老院,不过这一次她可是坐在警车的后座上来的。
Last Friday, she made her usual delivery, but this time she was ferried to the center in the back of a St. Louis PD car.
“我们很乐意做这些事情,”约翰·麦克劳克林警官说道。”我们收获到的比老人们还多。”
"We're more than happy to do these type of things, "said Sgt. John McLaughlin. "We get more out of it than the seniors do."
艾迪实在是太开心了。她说道:“只要你睁开眼睛看世界,世界的美好无处不在。”
Edie couldn't be happier. "It`s a great world if you just open your eyes and look at it, "she said.
