里克·斯坦因，谜样男人的典范，他的一生拍成电影也不为过。
Rick Stein, a classic man of mystery, had a life worthy of a movie.
至少，在他的女儿艾利克斯·沃尔什为其撰写的讣告中是这样。沃尔什为71岁辞世的父亲写的讣告高度虚构、天马行空，但超级引人入胜。
Or at least that's how his daughter, Alex Walsh, put it in a highly fictionalized, off-the-wall and totally engrossing obituary she wrote for her father, 71.
在这则荒诞不经的故事中，斯坦因在位于费城的托马斯·杰弗逊大学医院接受癌症治疗时突然决定出逃，他劫持了一架单引擎飞机飞越了大西洋。
Stein, according to his daughter's tall tale, was receiving cancer treatment at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, when he decided to break out, commandeer a single-engine plane and take flight over the Atlantic Ocean.
沃尔什在讣告里写道：“美国国家运输安全委员会首席调查员格雷格·菲尔德在新闻发布会上表示，'那天的海面十分狂躁。我们目前不知道斯坦因先生可能去了哪里，营救希望极其渺茫。'”。她的文字中引用了大量《宋飞传》和《绝命毒师》里的台词。
"'The sea was angry that day,' said NTSB lead investigator Greg Fields in a press conference. 'We have no idea where Mr Stein may be, but any hope for a rescue is unlikely,'" Walsh wrote in the obit, filled with "Seinfeld" and "Breaking Bad" references.
在这则有着过山车情节的讣告的最后，沃尔什写道：“这是一个故事。另一个故事是，里克根本就没从医院逃走，他在妻子和女儿的陪伴下平静地离世。”
"That is one story," Walsh writes at the end of her roller-coaster ride. "Another story is that Rick never left the hospital and died peacefully with his wife and his daughter holding tightly to his hands."
沃尔什表示，她认为自己的父亲会很欣赏这个讣告。
Walsh said she thinks her father would appreciate the obituary.
她向《The News Journal》透露：“这个讣告里充满了隐藏的笑话。他很有幽默感。”
"It's full of inside jokes," she told The News Journal. "He had a great sense of humor."
