One day Suzie McCash went shopping with her mum in Tynemouth, England. Suzie was four years old. Her mum didn't feel very well at the shops, so they went home.
有一天，苏西·麦卡什和妈妈在英格兰的泰恩茅斯逛街。苏西四岁了。她妈妈在商店里感觉不太舒服，所以她们就回家了。
In the house, Suzie's mum went to lie on the sofa. She was there for a long time. Her eyes were shut and it wasn't easy for her to breathe. Suzie was worried. Was her mum really ill? Suzie went to the house next door, but the neighbours weren't there. So she phoned 999 – the emergency telephone number for the police.
在家里，苏西的妈妈去躺在沙发上。她在那里躺了很长时间。她的眼睛紧闭，呼吸也很困难。苏西很担心。她妈妈真的病了吗？苏西去了隔壁的房子，但邻居不在家。于是她拨打了999——这是警察的紧急电话号码。
The police officer was very kind and Suzie was calm.
警察非常友善，苏西也很冷静。
OFFICER: 'What's your mummy doing now?'
警察："你妈妈现在在做什么？"
SUZIE: 'Um, she's just sitting on the sofa and she's doing nothing.'
苏西："嗯，她只是坐在沙发上，什么也没做。"
OFFICER: 'Are her eyes open?'
警察："她的眼睛睁着吗？"
SUZIE: 'No, they're shut.'
苏西："不，是闭着的。"
And later...
后来...
OFFICER: 'Can you open the door? Can you be a big girl?'
警察："你能开门吗？你能做个大女孩吗？"
Soon the police were at their house and an ambulance was there, too. About an hour later, Suzie's mum was OK again. A doctor said: 'Her mummy was very sick. Without Suzie's phone call, her mummy might be dead now.'
很快警察就到了她们家，救护车也来了。大约一小时后，苏西的妈妈又好了。一位医生说："她妈妈病得很重。如果没有苏西的电话，她妈妈现在可能已经死了。"
Suzie's story was in the newspapers and people were surprised and happy about it. She was a very brave girl and, a year later, she was in the news again because she was named a Child of Courage at the Pride of Britain Awards for helping her mother.
苏西的故事登上了报纸，人们对此感到惊讶和高兴。她是一个非常勇敢的女孩，一年后，她再次登上新闻，因为在"英国骄傲奖"中，她因帮助母亲而被评为"勇气儿童"。
