Last week, along with the rest of the seniors at Stafford High School in Falmouth, Virginia, 18-year-old Diana Bloom got her yearbook.
上周，弗吉尼亞州法爾茅斯市斯塔福德高中18歲的黛安娜?布魯姆和其他高年級學(xué)生同時收到了畢業(yè)紀(jì)念冊。

Bloom was flipping through the yearbook when she noticed a very special student.
布魯姆翻看畢業(yè)紀(jì)念冊時，注意到了一個非常特別的同學(xué)。

"Seeing a picture of a dog caught my eye pretty quickly," Bloom told BuzzFeed News. "I thought it was so cute, and I knew that some of my underclassmen friends hadn't seen it yet because they didn't have their yearbooks so I took a picture and tweeted it."
“一只狗的照片很快地吸引了我的眼球，”布魯姆告訴BuzzFeed新聞?！拔矣X得它太可愛了，我知道一些低年級同學(xué)還沒見過，因?yàn)樗麄儧]有畢業(yè)紀(jì)念冊，所以我拍了一張照片并發(fā)到了推特上。”

Her tweet has since been retweeted more than 2,500 times.
這條推特已被轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)超過2500次。

This very good student is called Alpha, and he's a service dog for Andrew 'AJ' Schalk, a 16-year-old junior at Stafford High.
這名“好學(xué)生”叫阿爾法，是該校學(xué)生安德魯?沙爾克的服務(wù)犬，今年16歲的安德魯是斯塔福德高中的學(xué)生。

Bloom said she and Schalk ride the same bus but don't have any classes together so she didn't know that Alpha would be appearing in the yearbook.
布魯姆說她和沙爾克乘坐同一輛公交車，但沒有一起上課，所以她不知道阿爾法會出現(xiàn)在畢業(yè)紀(jì)念冊里。

Schalk told BuzzFeed News that he has Type 1 diabetes and Alpha's job is to alert him when his blood sugar is getting too low or high.
沙爾克告訴BuzzFeed，他患有1型糖尿病，阿爾法的工作是當(dāng)他血糖過低或過高時提醒他。

"The amazing thing about Alpha is that he knows 20 to 40 minutes before my blood sugar actually does go low or high due to his amazing sense of smell," he said.
他說：“阿爾法的神奇之處在于，我的血糖變低或變高20到40分鐘之前，他神奇的嗅覺就能察覺到?！?/p>

"He has saved my life multiple times already, by waking me up in the middle of the night to extremely low blood sugars, which are very dangerous," Schalk said.
沙爾克說：“他多次救了我的命，半夜我血糖極低時叫醒我，這是非常危險的?！?/p>

Schalk said he started bringing Alpha to school with him last year "to get him acclimated to the school environment so he would be prepared for this year."
沙爾克說，他去年開始帶阿爾法去學(xué)校，“讓他適應(yīng)學(xué)校環(huán)境，這樣今年就能帶他來上學(xué)了?！?/p>

"He has become a huge part of my school, coming to my classes with me, and a lot of people know about him," Schalk said. So he spoke to the people in charge of the yearbook to see if Alpha could be included in the yearbook, and they were 100 percent supportive.
“他已經(jīng)成為我學(xué)校生活的一部分，和我一起上課，很多人都知道他，”沙爾克說。于是他詢問負(fù)責(zé)制作畢業(yè)紀(jì)念冊的人能否將阿爾法列入，他們百分百支持。

"All the teachers and students were 100 percent supportive," Schalk said.
“所有的老師和學(xué)生都完全支持，”沙爾克說。

"I just brought him with me when I got my yearbook picture taken," Schalk said. "The only thing they changed was the camera height. They just had to lower it a little haha."
沙爾克說：“我?guī)黄鹑ヅ漠厴I(yè)紀(jì)念冊照片。他們唯一改變的是相機(jī)的高度。他們只需要放低一點(diǎn)，哈哈?！?/p>

Alpha even got his own school ID.
阿爾法甚至有自己的學(xué)生證。

"He has been a great companion and added a lot of happiness to my school's environment," Schalk said, "It brightens people's days seeing him in the halls or in my class and I love being able to have that effect on people."
沙爾克說：“他是個超棒的伙伴，給學(xué)校帶來了很多快樂。他給大家的生活增添了色彩，人們在大廳里看到他，或者在我的課堂上看到他，我很高興他能對人們產(chǎn)生這樣的影響?！?/p>

People absolutely love it.
人們非常喜歡它。

"Yes, Alpha is really an amazing animal," Schalk said. "He makes a disability, such as my diabetes, such a positive experience for me and my life overall, and really turns it into a blessing rather than a negative part of my life."
“是的，阿爾法確實(shí)是神奇的動物，”沙爾克說：“他讓一些障礙，如我的糖尿病，成為我和我的生活中的一種積極體驗(yàn)，真的把它變成了一種恩惠，而不是我生活中消極的一部分?！?/p>
