On a recent afternoon in Rowlett, Texas, Police Corporal Patrick Ray poured imaginary tea into a minuscule cup adorned with pink flowers for his 2-year-old hostess, Bexley. The occasion for the outdoor tea party was the one-year anniversary marking the day the Rowlett officer saved Bexley Norvell's life.

不久前在德克萨斯罗莱特，有天下午，下士警员帕特里克·瑞手持镶有粉色小花的迷你杯，假想着杯中有水，给两岁的小小女主人贝斯丽斟茶。这场户外茶会是为了纪念罗莱特的警官拯救贝斯丽·诺威满一周年。

On July 26, 2015, Ray responded to the Norvells' home after getting a call about a child in distress. Bexley, then 22 months old, became unresponsive after swallowing a small coin, which became lodged in her throat.

2015年7月26日，瑞接到诺威家的来电后立马行动，当时22个月大的贝斯丽吞下一枚小硬币，硬币梗塞在喉，唤之已无从回应。

Ray tried to clear the little girl's airways. A few minutes later, Bexley began breathing again and started crying.

瑞尽其所能清理小女孩的气道。几分钟后，贝斯丽重新开始呼吸了，并且哭出声来。

Looking back on that day a year ago, the Rowlett cop, who has two children of his own, said of the moment Bexley finally drew a breath: 'It was the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard in my entire life.' Patrick Ray has been in the Norvells’ thoughts and prayers for the past year.

瑞自己也有两个小孩，回首一年前的那天，这位罗莱特的警察说道，贝斯丽吐息的那一瞬，"是我此生迄今为止听到的最美妙的声音。“过去的这一年里，帕特里克·瑞都是诺威一家心心念念为之祈祷的对象。

To celebrate Bexley's new lease on life and her special bond with Officer Ray, Mrs Norvell organized a tea party for the two buddies and hired a professional photographer to capture the special occasion.

为庆祝贝斯丽的新生和与瑞警官特殊的情谊，诺威夫人为他俩组织了一场茶会，聘请了专业照相师来捕捉这一特别的时刻。

Photos from the touching reunion show the burly cop in his uniform blues towering over little Bexley, dressed in a flouncy pink dress and pearls, and holding a dainty umbrella to shield herself from the sun. The pair sat in tiny chairs at a miniature table covered with a festive white tablecloth. A vase with cheerful yellow flowers stood in the middle next to a delicate toy tea set and a plate of treats.

这次重聚感人至深，照片上的警官身着蓝色制服，身材结实伟岸，小贝斯丽身穿粉色小礼服、佩戴珍珠，手持精巧的小伞遮挡着阳光。这一组合坐在小椅子上，迷你小桌上盖着节日气息的白色桌布。桌子中央是欢腾的小黄花花瓶，摆在精细的玩具茶具组合还有一盘小点心旁边。

The Rowlett cop said he is looking forward to seeing Bexley grow up and build a family of her own.

这名罗莱特警官称他很期待看着贝斯丽长大，看她组建自己的家庭。
