10月圣诞节美全城为病童提前过节

Little Ethan Van Leuven died Tuesday, just a week after his town of West Jordan, Utah, banded together to celebrate the holidays early so Ethan, who had leukemia, could enjoy them.

伊桑·范·勒芬于本周二离世。一周前，伊桑所在的美国犹他州西乔丹小城，为了这个患有白血病的、即将离世的小男孩，提前庆祝了万圣节、圣诞节等节日。

Ethan, 4, passed away "surrounded by family and friends," a statement on Ethan's GoFundMe page read.

伊桑的“请捐钱给我”的个人网页上称，4岁的伊桑在家人和朋友们的陪伴中离开了这个世界。

"Super Hero Ethan earned his wings. He fought as hard and as long as any Super Hero could. His family are in all of our prayers and thoughts," the statement read.

“伊桑没有让大家失望，他是超级英雄，他顽强的与病魔作斗争，这种精神和超级英雄是一样的。他的家人也得到了大家的祈祷和关心。”

Though diagnosed just prior to his second birthday, Ethan lived almost three years post-diagnosis and only stopped responding to treatments very recently.

2岁时被诊断患有白血病，至今伊桑与病魔斗争了将近3年的时间，直到最近才停止治疗。

"The doctors basically said he's got two days to a couple of weeks left to live, and so that's when we thought we would make the most of the last days he has remaining with us," Ethan's father, Merrill Van Leuven, told the "Today" show.
