A mother in New Zealand says she was nearly moved to tears by a stranger’s random act of kindness while dining out with her newborn son.
一位新西兰的母亲表示自己在给刚出生不久的儿子喂奶的时候，一位热心老人的善意举动让她感动地差点落泪。
On Monday, Briar Mcqueen says her breakfast order had just arrived at the table while she out at a neighborhood café when her nine-week old baby Jaxon began squirming-- the universal baby signal for “feed me.” Instead of feeding herself, the new mom began to breastfeed her hungry son.
布莱尔·麦奎因在周一早上带着自己九周大的儿子来附近一家咖啡厅吃早餐，在自己点的早餐刚刚送达餐桌的时候，儿子杰克森突然开始在麦奎因的怀中来回不安地扭动。一般来讲，这个举动表明孩子当前很饿，需要妈妈喂奶。于是麦奎因便没有顾自己的早餐，转而开始哺乳自己非常饥饿的儿子。
But just a few minutes into the feeding session, Mcqueen says a stranger approached her table.
然而，几分钟过后，麦奎因便看到有一位陌生人朝自己的桌子走来。
“Today was the first time I went out for breakfast alone with my 8 week old son, I had just received my breakfast and hot chocolate when Jaxon started crying wanting his booby so of course I fed him,” Mcqueen recalled in a Facebook post. She continues, “After a few minutes this older lady walked up to me, I was scared, thinking she was gonna tell me to put my boob away.”
麦奎因在自己的Facebook中写道：“今天是我第一天独自带着八周大的儿子出来吃早餐。当时我点的早点和热巧克力饮料刚刚送到餐桌，结果杰克森便开始嚎啕大哭，我明白他是饿了想要吃奶，于是我便开始喂他。几分钟后，一位老妇人朝我走过来，当时我非常害怕，以为她是来告诉我让我把胸部遮起来。”
But instead of reprimanding the new mother, the stranger just wanted to offer a helping hand.
结果，这位老妇人并没有指责这位母亲，而是来为其提供帮助。
"’What a good mama putting your son first, let me cut your food up for you so you can eat with one hand. We can’t have your food going cold, can we?’” Mcqueen says the woman told her.
这位老妇人当时对麦奎因说道：“把孩子放在第一位，真是一位好妈妈！让我来替你把早餐切好吧，这样你用一只手也能吃了。我怎么忍心让你吃冷掉的早饭呢？”
The stranger, who Mcqueen has not named, proceeded to cut up the new mother’s eggs and toast.
这位麦奎因并不知道姓名的好心人就坐在一旁，帮助她切好了鸡蛋以及吐司。
“I started to well up and couldn’t thank her enough. I was so surprised and in complete awe of her. I forgot to ask her name but I just thanked her over and over again and then she just walked off like it was nothing,” Mcqueen told Australian parenting blog Kidspot. “I was smiling all day about it.”
麦奎因在澳洲育儿博客Kidspot中写道：“看到这一情景之后，我特别感动，不住地感谢她。说实话，我感到特别惊喜，并对其满怀敬畏之心。可惜当时我忘记问她的名字，只是一再对其表示感谢。她却像什么都没有发生过一样，随后就离开了。因为这事儿，整整一天我都非常开心。”
The new mother shared her experience on Facebook and the post has started to go viral with over 270,000 likes and 10,000 shares. Mcqueen says she thinks the post has resonated with so many people due to frequent reports of backlash against public breastfeeding.
麦奎因将自己的这段经历发布到Facebook之上，不久后这个帖子便开始在网络中疯狂流传，点赞次数达到27万，分享次数高达1万次。鉴于社会上有许多关于反对公开哺乳的相关报道，麦奎因认为这个帖子让许多人感到共鸣。
“I think it’s taken off like this because with all the negative crap going on in the world right now people just lose hope in humanity,” she says. “So when a beautiful person like this woman comes along it just warms everyone’s hearts and simply spreads happiness! Who doesn’t love to read a story about such an amazing person like this?”
麦奎因表示：“这个故事之所以能够如此受人追捧，是因为在这个负能量爆棚的世界，人们对人性的光辉正在逐步丧失信心。所以，当有像这位善良的老人一样的好心人出现的时候，人们的心自然会被温暖，幸福也随之会传递。谁不愿意听到这样美好的故事或者遇到这样善良的人呢？”
In March, a breastfeeding mother claims she was asked to leave a Pizza Hut in Ohio while feeding her newborn son at a table, despite the fact that Ohio law states that “a mother is entitled to breast-feed her baby in any location of a place of public accommodation wherein the mother otherwise is permitted.”
三月份的时候，一位俄亥俄州的母亲表示自己在必胜客给孩子喂奶的时候遭到了店员驱逐，并没有人在意俄亥俄州立法中关于母亲有权利在任何场合对孩子进行哺乳喂养。
