400學生爲患癌老師打氣 齊聲歌唱感動千萬網友

Hundreds of students serenaded their beloved teacher Mr. Ellis outside his home last week to show support during his fight with an aggressive cancer.

上週，數百名學生在他們心愛的老師艾利斯先生的門外唱歌。這一舉動是爲正與惡性癌症鬥爭的艾利斯先生加油打氣。

"It was one of the Most beautiful things I've ever seen in my entire life," said Nate Morrow, headmaster at the school where Ellis works.

艾利斯所在學校的校長內特·莫羅表示：“這是我人生中見過的最美好的事情。”

"He is one of the kindest and intentionally loving people I've ever met in my life. I think that's what really characterizes him. He's always pursuing other people in wanting to get to know them and love them."

“他是我人生中見過的最善良的人，他總是關愛他人。我認爲這是他真正的特點。他總是想要了解他人，並給予他們關愛。”

Ben Ellis has been teaching Latin and Bible at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, since 2008.

自2008年以來，本·艾利斯一直在田納西州納什維爾市的基督長老會學院教授拉丁語和《聖經》。

Last year, Ellis was diagnosed with cancer and began chemotherapy treatments, but that didn't stop him from showing up for his students.

去年,艾利斯被診斷出患有癌症，開始化療，但這並不能阻擋他與自己的學生見面。

"He has remained involved in the CPA community even throughout his extensive treatment," a school representative said.

“在他接受大量治療的期間，他仍置身於基督長老會學院的工作之中，”一位學校代表說道。

On Sept. 7, more than 400 faculty members and students, grades 9 through 12, gathered outside the home of Mr. Ellis. For 30 minutes, they played instruments and sang.

9月7日，400多名9至12年級的教師和學生們聚集在艾利斯先生的家門口。他們演奏樂器並且唱歌，一直持續了30分鐘。

"I love you," Ellis wrote in a note to his students. "I believe now more than ever that God is good, and that he is with us...."

艾利斯在給他的學生們的紙條上寫道：“我愛你們。我從未像現在這樣確信，上帝是仁慈的，他與我們同在....”

On Sept. 10, country star Tim McGraw shared a video of Ellis peering from his window to hear his students sing. The post received more than 20 million views on Facebook.

9月10日，鄉村歌手蒂姆·麥克洛分享了艾利斯在窗口看他的學生們唱歌的視頻。這段視頻在臉書上的點擊率超過了2千萬。
