This is the heart-warming moment that a gentle dog befriends a young boy with Down's Syndrome and persuades the child to play.
這是讓人感動(dòng)的一刻：一只溫柔的狗狗試圖和一個(gè)患有唐氏綜合癥的小男孩做朋友，還想說服孩子一起玩耍。

Herman, now five, from La Plata, Buenos Aires, was captured on camera being approached by Himalaya, a Labrador.
影像中的這個(gè)男孩叫Herman，今年5歲，來自阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯的拉普拉塔。接近他的狗狗叫Himalaya，是條拉布拉多犬。

Herman's mother Ana, who posted the video on YouTube, said her son usually backs away from contact.
Herman的母親Ana將視頻放到了YouTube上，她告訴大家兒子一般不愿與人接觸。

Herman, who has two older sisters was aged three when the tender moment was filmed.
這段視頻是在Herman3歲時(shí)拍攝的，他還有兩個(gè)姐姐。

The video shows the little boy sitting on a patio in front of Himalaya. Herman then shuffles over to the dog and looks at him, but when Himalaya places a gentle paw on the little boy's foot he baulks and moves away again.
視頻中，Herman坐在院子里，在他面前是Himalaya。只見Herman向Himalaya那里挪去，并看著狗狗，但是當(dāng)Himalaya將一只爪子溫柔地放在他腳上時(shí)，Herman卻退縮了，他向后移開。

Himalaya, sensing the boy's hesitancy, decides to try contact again and puts her paw on Herman's feet before dropping her head in his lap.
Himalaya感覺到了孩子的猶豫不決，決定再次嘗試同他接觸。她用爪子碰Herman的腳，接著又將頭靠在Herman腿上。

Herman seems to signal the level of contact is welcome as he picks up the dog's paw, but then pushes the dog away as she sniffs contently at Herman's feet.
Herman先是抓起了狗狗的爪子，似乎表示他樂于接受這種程度的接觸；但是隨后他又推開了在自己腳邊心滿意足嗅著氣味的狗狗。

At this point Herman is backed up against the wall, but Himalaya is undaunted and rolls over on to her back stretching out a paw.
這個(gè)時(shí)候，Herman已經(jīng)退到了墻邊；可是Himalaya卻無所畏懼，她打個(gè)滾側(cè)躺在地上，向Herman伸出爪子。

Herman then moves across the patio, only to be followed by the determined canine and the scene repeats itself with the little boy being followed by Himalaya.
于是Herman開始向院子的其他地方移動(dòng)，但是堅(jiān)定的Himalaya一直緊跟著他，這樣的場(chǎng)景出現(xiàn)了一遍又一遍。

Although Herman does continue to push the gentle giant away it becomes more of a game and towards the end of the four minute video the pair sit side-by-side contentedly.
雖然Herman依舊不停地把溫柔的狗狗推開，但是到后來這更像是一種游戲。而在這段持續(xù)4分鐘的視頻的最后，這對(duì)小伙伴愜意地坐在了一起。

Down's Syndrome is a genetic condition that typically causes some level of learning disability and a characteristic range of physical features.
唐氏綜合癥是種由先天因素造成的疾病，通常會(huì)造成一定程度的智能障礙以及一些特有的身體缺陷。

Herman's mother wrote on YouTube: 'Herman, is a bit withdrawn and flees from physical contact.
Herman的母親在YouTube上寫到：“Herman有些孤僻，總是逃避身體接觸。”

'He does not like be touched, but Himalaya (the dog) insisted so patiently, and she was so soft that's why it is so moving. '
“Herman不喜歡被人碰，但是Himalaya卻如此有耐心地堅(jiān)持著，而且又那么溫柔，所以我很感動(dòng)?！?/div>
