马里娜·希尔斯和塞尔吉奥·洛斯科表示,自从失去儿子亨利后,时间对他们来说仿佛流逝得不同了。“我们感觉不到时间在流逝,”洛斯科说。

Marina Hills and Sergio Losco say time moves differently since they lost their son Henry. "We don't really see the time passing," Losco said.

“每一天都是新的一天,但对我们来说,只是失去他后的第二天。” 他们11岁的儿子亨利去年12月因家中锅炉故障导致一氧化碳泄漏而去世,至今已约10个月。事发地点位于里贾纳的Metro 1827公寓楼。

"Every day it's a new day, but for us it's just the second day after the loss." It's been about 10 months since their 11-year-old boy died due to a carbon monoxide leak after a boiler malfunction in their home at the Metro 1827 apartment building in Regina last December.

加拿大广播公司(CBC)新闻调查发现,该建筑部分区域的一氧化碳探测器要么被忽视,要么根本不存在。

A CBC News investigation revealed carbon monoxide detectors were either dismissed or didn't exist in parts of the building.

亨利去世后,这对夫妇开始倡导修改萨斯喀彻温省关于一氧化碳报警器的法规,试图在痛苦中保护他人。他们成功了。周日,“亨利法”正式生效,实施新法规。什么是“亨利法”?

After Henry died, the couple began advocating for changes to regulations on CO alarms in Saskatchewan, trying to protect others despite their pain. They were successful. On Sunday, Henry's Law takes effect, bringing new regulations. What is Henry's Law?

5月,萨斯喀彻温省政府推出“亨利法”,这是一项法规更新,要求全省多单元住宅建筑内的所有住宅单元均须安装一氧化碳报警器,于11月1日生效。该变更是对《国家建筑规范》的修正。

In May, the Saskatchewan government introduced Henry's Law, a regulatory update requiring CO alarms in all residential suites in multi-unit buildings in the province, effective Nov. 1. The change is an amendment to the National Building Code.

当时,萨斯喀彻温河选区省议员埃里克·施马尔茨表示,这一变更将强化该省的法规,而该省法规早已超过国家建筑规范标准。

At the time, Saskatchewan Rivers MLA Eric Schmalz said the change would strengthen the province's regulations, which already exceeded national building codes.

他说,这意味着萨斯喀彻温省将在加拿大处于领先地位,并补充说他会将亨利的故事带给各省同行。

That means Saskatchewan will lead Canada, he said, adding that he would bring Henry's story to his provincial counterparts. "I don't have a time machine.

“我没有时光机,无法回到过去改变这一切,但我们可以现在就改变,防止悲剧在未来重演,”施马尔茨说。

I don't have a way to go back and change this, but we can change it now and we can prevent this from happening again in the future," Schmalz said.

亨利的遗产 从那时起,希尔斯和洛斯科出现在全省成千上万的屏幕上,在省政府的一则公益广告中讲述“亨利法”。本月,亨利的照片也在里贾纳的广告牌上展出。

Henry's legacy Since then, Hills and Losco have appeared on thousands of screens across the province, speaking about Henry's Law in a provincial government . Henry's picture has also been displayed on billboards throughout Regina this month.

希尔斯说,她难以相信这则公益广告产生的影响力如此之大。她收到许多信息和电子邮件,人们感谢这个家庭的付出,并表示他们已经购买了一氧化碳报警器。“有很多人走过来对我们说‘为了亨利’,”她说。

Hills said she can't believe the reach the has had. She's received messages and emails from people thanking the family for their work and saying they've bought CO alarms. "There's been so many people [who have] come up to us and said 'for Henry,'" she said.

“塞尔吉奥和我一直希望人们能知道亨利是谁、他做了什么、他经历了什么,以及他的父母对此是如何回应的。”他们还希望人们记住儿子去世前的样子:一个善良、有同理心的男孩,热爱足球、学校和新奇的冒险。

"Sergio and I had always hoped that people were going to know who Henry was, what he did, what he went through and how his parents are responding to this." They also want people to remember their son for who he was before his death: a kind and empathetic boy who loved soccer, school and new adventures.

希尔斯描述了艰难的过去10个月,一直在努力走出悲痛。尽管如此,她说家人正在努力让亨利的遗志延续下去。“他会说,‘对,去吧妈妈。’他相信要帮助别人,”她说。

Hills described a difficult last 10 months, working through grief. Despite this, she said the family is working to keep Henry's legacy alive. "He would say, 'Yeah, you go Mama.' He believed in helping people," she said.

她相信亨利的故事之所以能引起加拿大各地如此多家庭的共鸣,是因为它展现了父母最深的恐惧。“父母都爱自己的孩子,”她说。

She believes Henry's story has resonated with so many families across Canada because it demonstrates what parents fear most. "Parents love their children," she said.

“我知道外面的人甚至无法想象、无法设想失去自己孩子会是什么样子。而我们告诉大家,就是那么糟,甚至更糟。”希尔斯和洛斯科普说,《亨利法》生效并不意味着他们的工作结束了。他们继续鼓励人们在家中安装一氧化碳报警器,尤其是在孩子睡觉的房间里。

"I know that people out there can't even fathom, can't imagine what it would be like to lose one of their own children. And we're telling people it's that bad, but worse." Hills and Losco said Henry's Law taking effect does not mean their work is over. They continue to encourage people to install CO alarms in their homes, especially in rooms where kids sleep.

洛斯科普说,人们需要正确了解一氧化碳报警器以及它报警时的声音,父母也应该与孩子进行安全对话,告诉他们报警时该怎么做。

Losco said people need to be properly educated about CO alarms and how they sound when they go off, and parents should have safety talks with their children about what to do when it happens.

希尔斯还提醒房东和维护人员,他们有责任保障住户的安全,而这远不止是在每个单元安装一氧化碳报警器。

Hills is also reminding landlords and maintenance staff they have a responsibility to keep their residents safe, and that goes far beyond installing CO alarms in every unit.

她说,他们应该了解一氧化碳及其危害,租户也需要就此向他们提出质疑。

They should be knowledgeable about CO and its dangers, and renters need to question them on it, she said.

“如果报警器响了,维护人员需要知道该怎么做,需要立即通知(消防)部门,”她说。“不要置之不理。”希尔斯和洛斯科普说,他们希望这项新法规和进一步的教育能够推广到全国各地。

"If the alarm sounds, maintenance needs to know what to do, needs to notify the [fire] department right away," she said. "Don't just dismiss it." Hills and Losco said they hope the new regulation and further education can be applied across the country.

他们说,如果《亨利法》能保护另一个家庭,那就意味着他们做对了一件事。

They said that if Henry's Law protects another family, it would mean they did something right.
