乡村音乐歌手Rory Feek分享信仰、心碎和新电影

Just two years ago, Joey and Rory Feek, better known as Joey + Rory, were on the top of the world. With their traditional sound, the award-winning country duo had carved out a niche for themselves in Nashville and released a number of popular albums. They lived on a beautiful farm in Tennessee, co-owned a restaurant, and had their own TV show. Their daughter, Indiana, had just been born. Though her Down syndrome diagnosis was unexpected, they welcomed her with joy.

在两年前，Joey和 Rory Feek，更以Joey+Rory组合在全世界被大家所熟知。凭借他们那特色的声音，屡获国家殊荣的他们在纳什维尔开拓了自己的一片小天地，并且发行了一些流行专辑。他们生活在田纳西州的一个漂亮的农场里，也合伙开了一家餐馆，并且还有自己的电视节目。他们的女儿Indiana也在那年出生。虽然女儿患有先天性唐氏综合症，他们还是欢喜的迎接了她的到来。

Then Joey was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and their world was shaken.

接着Joey被诊断为宫颈癌，他们的世界被动摇了。

Joey lived less than two years after her diagnosis, but she and her family filled those years with memorable moments and experiences, documented by Rory on his blog, This Life I Live. Rory’s new film,To Joey, with Love, tells the story of those final two years together. The film releases in movie theaters on September 20, and again on October 6, through Fathom Events.

Joey被诊断只剩不到两年的生存时间，但是她和她的家人在这短暂的时间里度过了难忘的时光，并且这些经历都被Rory在他的博客: This life I live里记录了下来。Rory的新电影《以爱，致Joey》讲述了他们在一起的最后两年生活的点滴。在9月20号和10月6号由Fathom Events发行的此电影将在影院上映。

I interviewed Rory about the film.

就此电影我采访了Rory。

What gave you the idea to make a movie about Joey?

什么使你萌生了制作一部关于Joey的电影的想法呢？

A few weeks after Joey's funeral service, I started going through all the footage that we had filmed over the last two and a half years, and it became immediately clear that what we had captured was more than just a bunch of home movies. Just like the story that Joey and I had been living and sharing through my blog, there was an even more powerful story in those clips that needed to be shared.

在Joey葬礼后的几周里，我开始回顾过去两年半时间里我们经历过的一切，突然一切都那么的清晰，我们所记录下来的不单单是一个家庭录像。正如Joey和我一起生活，一起在我的博客里分享的那样，每个时刻里的内容都非常有力，应该与大家分享。

Joey was obviously a wonderful mother to Indiana, yet you say in your narration that she was afraid at first to become a mother. Where did those fears come from?

Joey对 Indiana来说是个非常棒的妈妈，但在你的叙述中你说一开始她害怕成为妈妈。那种恐惧从何而来的呢？

She had never really been around babies or children and didn’t really have any desire to be. It wasn’t in her DNA, or at least she didn’t think it was. All of it scared her: being pregnant,child birth, being a mother; the responsibility, the work, the commitment. Once she turned her fears over to God, though, he did what he always seems to do: He turned her greatest fear into her greatest joy.

她从来没有和婴儿或是小孩相处过，也从来没有想要孩子的想法。在她的基因里没有这种想法，至少她不认为有。所有的一切都让她产生了恐惧：怀孕，生产，成为妈妈，责任，工作，义务。但是当她把恐惧交托给神，神做了祂一直以来做的事情，将大恐惧转变成了大喜乐。

Joey comes across as very strong, calm, and peaceful throughout her ordeal. Clearly her faith gave her strength, and she wanted to keep the baby feeling safe and happy. But were there ever moments of doubt and despair for her?

在整个苦难中，Joey都是非常的坚强，平静，并且平安。显然是她的信仰给了她力量，她也希望女儿可以感到安全和幸福。但是，是否她也有过怀疑和绝望的念头呢？

She had moments of being confused, of not understanding why she wasn’t getting better and wondering why God was letting life happen the way that he was. But I don’t think she was ever angry or filled with despair. Her faith was incredibly strong and childlike. Even on days that were disappointing or scary, she believed that “this is the day the Lord has made.” I did too. I still do.

她曾经疑惑过，因为不明白为什么她不能好起来，也想知道为什么神让事情如此的发生。但是我不觉得她愤怒或是绝望过。她有很强的信心，也像孩子一样单纯。即使是在失望和恐惧的日子里，。我曾经也是如此。并且依然如此。
