A 9-year-old boy fighting liver cancer was sworn in as an honorary police captain on Friday by officers at the Alton Police Department in Texas.
周五，一名身患肝癌的9岁男孩在德克萨斯州奥尔顿警察局被警官们任命为名誉警长。
The boy, Brandon Tadeo Alvarez, got a cancer diagnosis last year, then his illness went into remission in September. But the cancer was back again at the start of this year.
男孩布兰登·塔代奥·阿尔瓦雷斯去年被诊断出患有癌症，9月份病情有所缓解。但是今年年初癌症又复发了。
Officers of the department visited Brandon on Wednesday after receiving a phone call from a friend of his who'd noted the young boy's love for law enforcement. Brandon, it became clear, dreamed of one day becoming an officer himself.
周三，警方接到布兰登一个朋友的电话，他的朋友提到小男孩对执法机构十分向往。布兰登梦想着有一天自己也能成为一名警察。
"During our visit, Tanya [Brandon's mom] shared the details of Brandon's condition and informed us that doctors had stopped all treatment," Chief Jonathan Flores told Fox News on Saturday.
“在我们探访期间，谭雅（布兰登的母亲）向我们透露了布兰登的病情细节，并告诉我们医生已经停止了所有治疗。”警长乔纳森·弗洛雷斯周六告诉福克斯新闻。
"We knew immediately that we needed to make his dream come true," Flores said.
“我们马上意识到，我们需要让他的梦想成真。”弗洛雷斯说。
More than 200 people -- family, friends, elected officials, members of the community and officers from neighboring police departments -- gathered at City Hall to support him in a ceremony on Friday, at which he was sworn in by Judge Keno Vasquez.
周五，他的家人、朋友、当地官员、社区成员和邻近警察局的警员等200多人聚集在市政厅的仪式上，在法官基诺·瓦斯奎兹的见证下他宣誓任职。
"We had members of law enforcement lining the walls to show their support," Flores said.
弗洛雷斯说：“我们的执法人员站成一列表示支持。”
Citizens offered their own form of support to the boy and his family, creating a poster board of messages titled, “Not Going Down Without A Fight.”
市民们向这个男孩和他的家人表达了他们自己的支持，制作了一个写着“不能不战而屈”的海报板。
"That is truly the essence of law enforcement and the thin blue line family," Flores said. "When one of us is hurting, we all rally together and step up to the plate to help."
弗洛雷斯说：“这确实是执法部门和警察文化的精髓所在。当我们中有人受伤时，我们都会团结起来，挺身而出，伸出援手。”
"In this family, no one fights alone," Flores said, referring to the camaraderie within the police force. "We will continue to support Brandon and his family, doing whatever we can to lift his spirits and help him to stay motivated and continue to fight this terrible disease.
弗洛雷斯提到了警察内部同事间的感情，“在这个家庭里，没有人是独自战斗的，我们将继续支持布兰登和他的家人，尽我们所能让他振作起来，帮助他保持积极心态，继续与这种可怕的疾病作斗争。”
"Last night captured the true essence of what the city of Alton and our law enforcement community is all about."
“昨晚见证了奥尔顿市和我们执法部门的真正精髓。”
