[Narrator] For the last 12 years, David has held

[旁白] 在過去的 12 年當中，大衛在

over 1200 babies at Scottish Rite Hospital.

Scottish Rite 醫院裡抱了超過 1200 個嬰兒

嘿，大衛，我什麼時候可以大聲說話呢？

[Narrator] At Children's Healthcare of Atlanta,

[旁白] 在亞特蘭大的兒童保健中心

you'll find David volunteering as a baby buddy,

你會見到在那裡義務擔任嬰兒夥伴的大衛

嬰兒夥伴就是一個獻出自己的時間來抱

或是有特殊醫療照顧需求的嬰兒

When I first came to work for the hospital,

當我第一次在醫院裡工作的時候

and the child life person walked by and said,

Child life 的工作人員經過我身邊對我說

I became nicknamed by a few nurses as the baby whisperer.

有幾個護士幫我取了個綽號，叫做「嬰語專家」

I'd be given a baby who was screaming and crying.

他們會把正在尖叫和嚎啕大哭的嬰兒交給我

You'd be amazed how quickly they can calm down.

你會感到非常地不可思議，因為嬰兒能夠很快的冷靜下來

[Narrator] Because the babies stay in the hospital

大部分的父母並不能一直留在這裡

mainly because their maternity leave runs out

主要因為他們的育嬰假已經結束

或者他們還有其他的孩子在家裡

這就是為什麼我們需要大衛的原因

David has gone on to hold countless babies

大衛繼續在新生兒重症監護室裡

We find that holding also can help mitigate some pain,

我們發現擁抱也可以幫助緩和一些疼痛

因此當嬰兒做了扎足跟血的檢查以後

and they're being held, they react so much better

如果他們被抱著，比起沒有被抱著

you can see the baby relax because David's so relaxed.

你可以看到嬰兒是放鬆的，因為大衛也是如此放鬆

所以你知道嬰兒受到良好的照顧

如果你是一個退休者，我會告訴你

“Get off your butt and do something.”

「別老坐著，做點正經事吧。」

and there are a lot of different ways of doing it;

doesn't have to be in a children's hospital.

I know it meant a lot to the moms and the dads, too,

我知道這對於父母來說意義重大

I really feel like I'm the one who benefits.

我真的認為我才是那個受益的人
