A Girl Stopped Her Friend From Killing Himself And Now They re Married

姑娘阻止了朋友的自殺行為，而如今他們結婚了

Last week people began sending in answers to a question posted on Quora that read, "What is one moment in your life you thought could only happen in a movie?"

上周人們開始給Quora網站上的一篇帖子回復，帖子的內容是「在你一生中發生過什麼事情只可能在電影的情節中出現？」

Some people began recounting rare celebrity encounters and there were even a few death scares, but one of the stories that stood out the most was submitted by Kevin Walsh who shared a tale of a fateful phone call with his future wife.

有的提起與名人的一些難得的偶遇，有的還說到死亡威脅，但是有一個由Kein Walsh分享的特別不一樣的故事，是關於接了一通改變了他命運的、與他未來妻子的電話的故事。

Once upon a time I was 13 at a summer camp and the prettiest girl I d ever seen walked right up to me and said 「black is a good color on you.」 No idea why. We chatted and became friends, exchanged AIM screen names (it was the time) and stayed in touch for a while.

在我13歲的時候，參加了一個夏令營，遇到了一個自己認為最漂亮的女孩兒，她沖我走過來說道：「你穿黑色的很好看。」沒有任何原因。我們就在一起聊天，並成了好朋友，交換了AIM昵稱（當時就這個）（小編註：Americanonline Instant Message美國在線即時通訊軟體）並保持了一段時間的聯繫。

We fell off each others』 radar some time in high school, but I can promise you that not a day went by that I didn t think about that girl. Even now I m not sure I can say why - something about her just stayed with me.

我們在上高中時失去了聯繫，但我發誓我一直都在想著那女孩兒。到現在我也說不清原因-但她一直都在我的腦海里。

Walsh continued on explaining how he fell into a deep depression in high school and eventually decided to take his own life.

Walsh繼續講述他如何在高中時患了抑鬱症，並終於有一天，決定結束自己的生命。

Somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds before I would have committed suicide, my phone rang. I checked the caller ID - I couldn t die not knowing. It was a number I didn t recognize, so I picked up and it was her.

就在我採取行動的前5至10秒鐘，我的電話響了。我看了來電顯示-我非常想知道是誰打來的，而這個電話號碼我不認識，我接了電話然後發現是她。

I asked her what was up and she said she just felt like she had to call me. At that point it had been a year since we had spoken, and at that moment she just had to call. Long story short, she pried, I spilled the beans and she talked me out of it. I mean she literally said 「What? Don t do that.」 And that was that.

我問她怎麼樣，她說她就是覺得應該給我打電話了。這和我們上次聯繫已經隔了一年了，而就在那時她說她該打電話了。長話短說，她問我怎樣，我全撂了，她把我拉了回來。其實她就是說：「什麼？不能這麼做。」然後就完了。

She made me promise to call her the next day, and we hung up. That night I started writing the words which, ten years later, I d propose with.

她讓我答應她第二天打電話給她，然後就掛了機。從那天晚上我就開始寫十年以後我向她求婚的話。

Here is the picture Walsh posted of him and his wife, Blake, on their wedding day.

這就是Walsh發的他和他的妻子Blake的照片，在婚禮那天。

Unsurprisingly, his answer already received over 298,000 views. "The comments have been unbelievably kind; most are congratulatory and uplifting," Walsh told BuzzFeed.

毫無懸念地，有298,000人查看了他的帖子。Walsh告訴BuzzFeed網站：「評論都是令人難以置信的好；多數是祝賀的和鼓舞人心的。」

According to Walsh, the best thing you can do if you ever feel like suicide is your only way out is to simply talk to someone.

據Walsh說，如果你覺得想要結束自己的生命，最簡單的方法就是找人把話說出來，只有這樣才能幫到你。

"There is power in saying it out loud. There s a good chance that the moment it comes out of your mouth you ll realize it isn t what you want at all," said Walsh.

「大聲說出來可以給你力量，很有可能的是，當你說出來的時候，你就會意識到，那其實根本不是你想要的。」

Thank you, Kevin, for sharing your story and for reminding others that things do get better.
