美国警察化身蜘蛛侠 出席5岁男孩葬礼

Police Officer Damon Cole was already a superhero to Joshua Garcia's family, so they asked him to dress as Spider-Man for the boy's funeral.

对于乔舒亚·加西亚一家来说，警察达蒙·科尔已经是一个超级英雄了，因此，他们邀请科尔装扮成蜘蛛侠的样子出现在乔舒亚的葬礼上。

Cole was the first officer on the scene after the 5-year-old boy was reported missing earlier this month in Fort Worth, Texas. The officer went into a murky, back yard swimming pool to search for him, according to a Fort Worth police department spokesman. Before Cole was at the scene, Joshua's mother was already searching for the small boy, but the water was almost black and there was trash and debris in the pool.

本月初，在美国德克萨斯的沃斯堡市，在接到这个5岁的小男孩失踪的消息后，科尔是第一个到达现场的警官。据沃斯堡警察局的一位发言人表示，科尔警官跳进了一个浑浊的后院游泳池去寻找乔舒亚。而在科尔到达现场前，乔舒亚的妈妈已经在池塘里找过了，但池水几乎全是黑的，里面还充满了垃圾和杂物等。

Cole managed to find Joshua and pulled him out of the water, but rescuers were not able to revive him. Joshua was wearing a Spider-Man shirt and shoes when he died."There's not a minute that has gone by that I haven't thought about Joshua and his family," Cole told a Dallas television station.

随后，科尔在池塘里找到了乔舒亚并把他拉了上来，不过最终救援人员还是没能救回乔舒亚的生命。在乔舒亚去世的时候，他还穿着蜘蛛侠的衬衫和鞋子。科尔在接受达拉斯电视台采访时表示：“自那以后，我无时无刻不在想着乔舒亚和他的家人。”

Joshua's family presented him with a signed, wooden plaque calling him a "police hero."

后来，乔舒亚的家人赠送给科尔一个木制的胸牌，上面刻着“警察英雄”的字样。

"I don't view myself as a hero. I just wished I had super powers to save that boy," the officer said.

这位警察说：“我不认为自己是一个英雄。但我真希望自己能拥有英雄的超能力，救活这个孩子。”

Cole wrote about the incident on his Facebook page, saying it was "the most heartbreaking call of my 16-year police career."

科尔在他Facebook的主页上这样写道：“这真的是我16年警察生涯中，拥有的最令人心碎的称呼了。”

Joshua's brothers asked to meet with Cole a few days after the incident. During the meeting, they learned that Cole was part of a group of Dallas-area police officers who dress up as superheroes to cheer up and inspire kids. Cole regularly drives his custom Superman Dodge Charger to visit kids with cancer dressed up as Batman, Iron Man and Spider-Man.

事件发生几天后，乔舒亚的兄弟们希望能和科尔见面。在会面后他们了解到，达拉斯地区的警员们曾经打扮成超级英雄的样子去慰问和鼓励当地的儿童们，科尔也是其中一员。科尔会定期的装扮成蝙蝠侠、钢铁侠和蜘蛛侠，驾上他定制的超级英雄道奇战马，去慰问儿童癌症患者。

Joshua's favorite superhero was Spider-Man, and the family asked Cole to wear his costume for the boy's funeral. Cole said it was an honor and a pleasure to do so.

乔舒亚最喜欢的超级英雄是蜘蛛侠，他的家人希望科尔能在孩子的葬礼上穿上蜘蛛侠的服装。科尔表示，这是一种荣誉，他非常乐意这样做。

Cole stood by Joshua's casket for the entire service and watched as loved ones released red and blue balloons in mark the boy's life.

整个葬礼中，科尔都默默站在乔舒亚的灵柩旁，看着爱他的人们放飞红气球和蓝气球，以纪念他短暂的人生。
