[size=medium]A woman who lived in a coma for 42 years, meticulously cared for by her family, died Wednesday in her home in Miami Gardens, Fla., the Miami Herald reported。
[color=orange]根据《迈阿密先驱报》的报道，一位昏迷长达42年的女性21日在位于迈阿密花园的家中辞世，终年59岁。在她昏迷的这么多年中，家人一直不离不弃悉心照料。[/color]
Edwarda O’Bara was a 16-year-old high school student in 1970 when she became sick from her diabetes medication and slipped into a diabetic coma.
[color=orange]1970年，当时16岁的爱德华达·欧贝拉还是个高中学生，因为糖尿病接受药物治疗，最后失去知觉陷入了昏迷，医学上称为糖尿病昏迷症。[/color]
According to the Herald, just before she lost consciousness, Edwarda asked her mother, Kaye O’Bara, to never leave her side, and her family never did。
[color=orange]《迈阿密先驱报》报道称，在她失去知觉前对母亲凯伊说的最后一句话，是让母亲不要丢下她。而在她昏迷的42年中，她的家人一直坚守当初的承诺。[/color]
Edwarda’s father, Joe O’Bara, and Kaye took care of their daughter — reading to her, playing her music, making sure she was turned every two hours, bathed, given insulin and given nourishment through a feeding tube — until their deaths in 1976 and 2008, respectively. After that, Edwarda’s sister Colleen O’Bara took over。
[color=orange]爱德华达的父亲乔和母亲凯伊一直悉心照顾女儿，读书给她听，为她弹奏音乐，每隔两小时帮她翻一次身，为她洗澡，为她注射胰岛素，用食管给她喂食，两位老人一直坚持做这些直到两人相继去世：1976年父亲乔因心脏病去世，2008年母亲凯伊去世。母亲去世后，妹妹科林恩接棒继续照顾她。[/color]
Edwarda O’Bara spent more than four decades in a coma, but her family’s unending care for her became a story told across the world。
[color=orange]爱德华达昏迷了40多年，而她的家人不离不弃的悉心照料也让她的故事传遍了世界。[/color]
And visitors from across the world traveled to the Miami Gardens home, every year, sometimes appearing at the doorstep on random days, other times for Edwarda’s yearly birthday party, a boisterous affair with decorations, balloons and cake。
[color=orange]每年都会有从世界各地来的人前往迈阿密花园拜访他们。有些人可能随时来，有一些人则会赶在每年爱德华达的生日聚会来。每年的生日聚会人们都会帮忙装饰，气球和蛋糕给家里带来欢乐的气氛。[/color]
Through it all, Edwarda remained in a coma. But to her family and followers she remained vibrantly alive. Colleen O’Bara described her as “the best sister in the whole wide world。”
[color=orange]虽然这些年爱德华达一直处于昏迷状态。但对她的家人和关注她的人来说，她一直都在充满活力的生活着。妹妹科林恩描述她是“这个世界上最好的姐妹”。[/color]
“She taught me so much, and I’m talking about now, after she was in the coma,” Colleen O’Bara said. “She taught me so much about unconditional love that I couldn’t say I had it before. She taught me about patience, that I didn’t have before. I learned so much from taking care of my sister. It’s like I grew up overnight。”
[color=orange]科林恩这样说道：“她教给了我很多，我指的是特别在她昏迷之后。她教会我要无条件地付出爱，这些我以前真的都没有做到；她教会我以前所没有的耐心。在照顾姐姐的这些年里我学到了很多，就像是一夜之间长大了一样。”[/color]
In an announcement of Edwarda's death posted Thursday on a website dedicated to her, Colleen O'Bara wrote: "Yesterday while taking care of Edwarda I noticed her looking directly at me and gave me the biggest smile I had ever seen. She then closed her eyes and joined my Mom in Heaven.
[color=orange]"周四科林恩将爱德华达去世的消息公布在专门为她设立的网站上，她在公告中写到：“昨天在照顾爱德华达的时候，我注意到她直直的看着我然后给了我一个大大的微笑，这是我见过她笑得最开心的一次。然后她闭上眼睛，去天堂和我的母亲相会了。”[/color][/size]
