　　Katelyn Norman, a 14-year-old Tennessee girl whose bucket list rallied and inspired supporters in America, died last week after a two-year battle with bone cancer.

　　美国田纳西州的14岁女孩凯特琳-诺曼与骨癌抗争了2年，于上周离世。她的遗愿清单鼓舞并激励了来自全美的支持者。

　　Katelyn made a bucket list that included attending a prom, enjoying the last slow dance, learning to drive a car, having a day with each sibling and seeing Italy.

　　凯特琳的遗愿清单中包括参加一场舞会、跳最后一支慢舞、学习开车、与每个兄弟姐妹各待一天以及去意大利看一看。

　　Last Tuesday, a special prom for Katelyn was planned well, but during the day she was having difficulty breathing and had to be taken to the hospital. She didn"t want that to stop others from going.

　　上周二，一场专门为凯特琳举办的舞会计划妥当，但当天她却因呼吸困难被送往医院。她并不想因此妨碍大家参加舞会。

　　Later, the prom was moved to Katelyn’s hospital room. She then enjoyed her own prom, complete with disco balls hung from the ceiling, friends in dresses and suits and her own prom queen sash and crown.

　　后来，舞会转移到凯特琳的病房举行，于是她享受到了自己的舞会：天花板上悬挂着迪斯科舞厅球，朋友们穿着裙子和礼服，而她则戴着舞会女王的肩带和头冠。

　　One of Katelyn's wishes was to see the band Of Mice & Men in concert and get an autographed T-shirt from the band members. The band's fans flooded their Facebook page and Twitter accounts, urging them to reach out to her.

　　凯特琳的另一个愿望是去看Of Mice & Men乐队的演唱会，并得到乐队成员亲笔签名的T恤。该乐队的粉丝都去他们的脸谱主页和推特账户上留言，催促他们联系凯特琳。

　　The band's lead vocalist tweeted about Katelyn. He told her not to be afraid because she wouldn't be alone; his mom is already an angel and would be taking care of her.

　　乐队的主唱在推特上给凯特琳发去信息，告诉她不要害怕，因为她并不会孤单;他的妈妈已经成为了一个天使，将会照顾她。

　　A fundraising page for Katelyn produced an outpouring of affection and generosity towards the teen. The page raised more than $80,000: most of the money will go to churches and the families that she wanted to support and some will be used to cover funeral expenses.

　　为凯特琳筹集善款的网页上充满了大家对这个女孩的爱意和慷慨之情。这个网页筹集了8万多美元：大部分钱将捐给教堂以及她生前想帮助的一些家庭，另一些钱将用来支付她的葬礼费用。

　　When talking about Katelyn, a teacher said, “She will make an impact on you. She's a jewel. My life will never be the same."

　　一名老师谈及凯特琳时说：“她会对你产生影响。她是一颗明珠。我的人生将发生改变。”
