女兒把父親的訃告當小說寫 瘋傳社交網絡

Rick Stein, a classic man of mystery, had a life worthy of a movie.

裏克·斯坦因，謎樣男人的典範，他的一生拍成電影也不爲過。

Or at least that's how his daughter, Alex Walsh, put it in a highly fictionalized, off-the-wall and totally engrossing obituary she wrote for her father, 71.

至少，在他的女兒艾利克斯·沃爾什爲其撰寫的訃告中是這樣。沃爾什爲71歲辭世的父親寫的訃告高度虛構、天馬行空，但超級引人入勝。

Stein, according to his daughter's tall tale, was receiving cancer treatment at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, when he decided to break out, commandeer a single-engine plane and take flight over the Atlantic Ocean.

在這則荒誕不經的故事中，斯坦因在位於費城的托馬斯·傑弗遜大學醫院接受癌症治療時突然決定出逃，他劫持了一架單引擎飛機飛越了大西洋。

"'The sea was angry that day,' said NTSB lead investigator Greg Fields in a press conference. 'We have no idea where Mr Stein may be, but any hope for a rescue is unlikely,'" Walsh wrote in the obit, filled with "Seinfeld" and "Breaking Bad" references.

沃爾什在訃告裏寫道：“美國國家運輸安全委員會首席調查員格雷格·菲爾德在新聞發佈會上表示，'那天的海面十分狂躁。我們目前不知道斯坦因先生可能去了哪裏，營救希望極其渺茫。'”。她的文字中引用了大量《宋飛傳》和《絕命毒師》裏的臺詞。

"That is one story," Walsh writes at the end of her roller-coaster ride. "Another story is that Rick never left the hospital and died peacefully with his wife and his daughter holding tightly to his hands."

在這則有着過山車情節的訃告的最後，沃爾什寫道：“這是一個故事。另一個故事是，裏克根本就沒從醫院逃走，他在妻子和女兒的陪伴下平靜地離世。”

Walsh said she thinks her father would appreciate the obituary.

沃爾什表示，她認爲自己的父親會很欣賞這個訃告。

"It's full of inside jokes," she told The News Journal. "He had a great sense of humor."

她向《The News Journal》透露：“這個訃告裏充滿了隱藏的笑話。他很有幽默感。”
