福克斯新闻 两橄榄球比赛对手为一方的抗癌母亲共同祈祷(1)

Also this evening, this powerful photo that quickly went viral, two Texas high school football rivals¹, Gage² Smith and Ty Jordan put the score aside to join together in prayer under the Friday night lights. After Smith asked if the two could pray for Jordan's mother, who is battling stage four cancer. Gage Smith and Ty Jordan joined me now. Guys, thank you so much. It's great to have both of you with us tonight. I want to start by playing a little bit of what your coach -- what Gage's coach had to say about you, Gage. Let's watch. He's a true leader, and he has compassion³. I think it follows through for a lot of our guys on our team. Pretty special that kind of everybody gets to see really what he is. He is that type of kid all the time. It's not just in front of cameras or anything like that, he's like that every day.

同样是在今天晚上，这张震撼的照片在网上疯传，来自得州高中的两名橄榄球比赛对手，盖奇·史密斯和泰·乔丹把比分放在一边，一起祈祷，这件事发生在周五晚上，有人把这一场景拍了下来。在这之前，史密斯曾问，二人可不可以一起为乔丹的母亲祈祷，她正处于癌症四期。盖奇·史密斯和泰·乔丹现在与我连线。男孩们，非常感谢你们。今晚很高兴见到你们。我想先放一段小视频，是你们的教练——盖奇的教练评价盖奇的视频。我们一起来看看。他是一个真正的领导者，而且他有同情心。我觉得我们队里的许多男孩都是这么做的。非常特别的是，人人都能知道他究竟是什么样子的。他一直都是这种孩子。他这样做，不是因为在摄像机前或是其他原因，他每天都这样做。

So, Ty, let me start with you. After the game when you guys sort of came together, did you know each other before, and you know, what -- what went through, what did Gage say to you, and what went through your mind? Yes, we know each other from 7-on-7, so we've been friends and been cool for a very long time. And so, he just wanted to take the time of his day and pray for me. He told me previously⁴, before the game started, and after the game, he just came together, you know, caught up, and he said, OK, I just want to pray for you and your family. And we went from there. So, Gage, it's a really beautiful photo, tell me how you found out about Ty's mom, and you know, why you asked him to pray with you. Yes, I found it on Twitter, throughout his aunt, and I just felt like it was the right thing to do for him, to show that he had somebody at that point in time that he could lean on.

那么，泰，先从你开始。比赛之后，你们聚在一起时，你们之前认识吗，你知道的，什么——盖奇对你说什么了，你是怎么想的？是的，我们在7-on-7的时候就认识了，我们已经做了很长时间的朋友了。他只想花时间来为我祈祷。他之前和我说，在比赛开始之前，比赛后，他过来赶上我，说，好，我想为你和你的家人祈祷。然后我们就像照片里那样祈祷了。那么，盖奇，这的确是一张不错的照片，和我说说你是怎么发现泰母亲的病情，以及你为什么让他和你一起祈祷。是的，我在推特上发现的，通过他的阿姨，我就感觉这是为他所做的正确的事，这件事表明，在此时此刻，我是他可以依靠的人。
