Video of Woman Birthing Child in Creek Viewed 52M Times
这姑娘在溪水中产子的视频被观看5200万次
Simone Thurber had long dreamed of giving birth in nature
Simone Thurber梦想在大自然中生产已久。
She gave birth to her fourth daughter in a remote Australian creek—and the birth has been viewed 52 million times.
她在遥远的澳大利亚小溪中产下第4个女儿，而她记录下整个生产的视频被观看了5200万次。
The 23-minute birthing video was posted to YouTube (warning: graphic) in 2013, but is now getting press. Thurber, a birth therapist and trained doula whose three previous births were water births of a more traditional nature, says in the video's intro that she had long dreamed of giving birth in nature. Her partner, Nick, was amenable to the idea, reports the Sun.
其实这段23分钟的生产视频在2013年就被传到了Youtube上，只是现在才引起媒体关注。Thurber自己就是妇产科专家，也受过月嫂培训，之前3个宝宝都是在水中生产的。她在这个视频介绍中说，自己一直想在大自然中生一次孩子。据《太阳报》报道，她丈夫Nike也很支持她。
The then-39-year-old was living in Australia, and a friend offered up his home on the edge of the Daintree Rainforest in Queensland, "the oldest rainforest in the world," she says. She chose a creek with "pristine pure" fresh water a few minutes' drive away.
这位录视频的女士那年39岁，据她回忆，当时她一位朋友把自己在昆士兰丹翠雨林（世界上最古老的热带雨林）边缘的家提供给她住宿。她挑了个离朋友家开车只有几分钟、水质清澈的小溪来生产。
As labor began at 11pm, Thurber assumed the baby would arrive before the necessary daylight and warm temps did, so she labored outdoors in a tub at her friend's home. But at 9am, ready to push, she headed for the creek, armed not with a doctor or midwife but her family and a black yoga-type mat. Around 10:50am, Perouze Seraphina was born, and the video was posted on the girl's first birthday.
那晚11点时，她开始阵痛，感觉自己应该在天亮和升温之前就要生了。于是，她就在朋友家门外的浴缸里经历阵痛。但在第二天早上9点宝宝马上要出来时，她还是在家人的陪伴下躺在黑色瑜伽垫上前往小溪。上午10:50左右， Perouze Seraphina出生，此段视频也在她首次生日时被传到网上。
In its description, Thurber notes, "This video is explicit, especially as it is shot outdoors in broad daylight. If you choose to watch it, please watch it with respect." She continues, "My sense of wholeness and peace was bigger and deeper than anything I had ever felt before" after the birth.
在视频描述中，Thurber这样说，“这段视频在户外强光下拍摄，清晰逼真，希望看得人对此表示尊重。生产后，我感到了前所未有与大自然深深合二为一的感觉。”
A sad footnote: The Daily Mail notes Nick, who is shown in the video and who Thurber refers to as "the greatest love I have ever known" in the video's closing lines, has since died. (This woman spent her labor putting on makeup.)
不过有一个令人伤心的脚注：《今日邮报》报道，在视频中出现的Thurber的丈夫Nike（也是Thurber在视频结尾标注的“我此生最爱的人”），现在已经不在人世。（Thurber整个生产过程中也都带着妆。）
