Best four years：泰勒．斯威夫特催泪新单《Ronan》背后的故事

'The tears started pouring down my cheeks as soon as I heard her say those words. But her words didn't stop there. Not only did she write a song for you, but she wanted to know if it would be alright to perform it on the nationally televised show.'
“听到这些话的时候我的眼泪止不住地往下淌，但她不是说说而已，她不仅为你写了歌，还希望我们能够允许她在全国性的电视节目上演唱这首歌。”

Friday was the first time the mother heard Swift's tear-jerking dedication to Ronan. 'It was pretty emotional,' she said, adding that hearing her own words set to music was 'kind of like reliving it again, but it's something I'll probably always relive.'
上周五是这位母亲第一次听到斯威夫特演唱这首献给她儿子的催泪曲目。“真的很感人”，她还表示，听到自己所写的东西被写进歌曲里唱出来，“就像是再次经历了那件事，不过大概今后我也会不断重复这段体验吧。”

Swift was clearly shaken while she performed the song at the telethon, accompanied only by a finger-picking guitar. 'I remember your bare feet down the hallway,' she sang.
斯威夫特在节目上演唱时就抱了一把吉他，但很明显她一直在颤抖。“我忘不了你光着脚在走廊上奔跑”，她唱道。

'I remember your little laugh, race cars on the kitchen floor, plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back.' 'She took my words and tweaked them in the most beautiful way,' Thompson said, tears welling in her eyes. “
“我忘不了你浅浅的笑容，我厨房的地上玩着你最爱的赛车和玩具恐龙，我对你的爱宛如往返月球那样的长涟。” “她把我的文字用最美丽的方式表达出来了，” 汤普森说到这里，泪如泉涌。

The song is available on iTunes where it is topping the charts, replacing another Swift hit, 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.' Proceeds from those sales are going 100 per cent to cancer-related charities.
这首歌现在是iTunes上的冠军歌曲，取代了之前斯威夫特的另一首新单金曲《We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together》。这首歌曲的所有收入也将全部捐给癌症想关的慈善机构。

'I've been pinching myself ever since,' Thompson said of the ballad's popularity, which has also driven more people to her son's charity The Ronan Thompson Foundation.'It's ... putting a face to childhood cancer that we didn't have before. Nobody wants to talk about childhood cancer. It's too sad. But the sad thing is there are 46 kids diagnosed a day and seven of those kids will die a day.
“我一直在不停地掐自己，” 汤普森谈到这首歌的受欢迎程度。这首歌也让更多人关注以她儿子命名的慈善机构The Ronan Thompson Foundation。汤普森说：“这让很多人第一次开始注意到儿童癌症的问题。没有人愿意谈论儿童癌症。这太让人伤心了。但更伤心的是每天都有46个孩子被诊断出癌症，而未来这群孩子中每天有7个会离开我们。”

'It's sad that no one wants to pay attention to that. And I think now that she's taken this stand, it's just going to do incredible things for the awareness.'
“虽然很难过人们不愿意去提起这个问题，但我想，现在她（斯威夫特）站了出来，为了引起人们的关注，她做了一件了不起的事情。”
