Ricky Naputi，世界上最胖的人之一，于去年11月離開人世，在他最后的日子里，他的生活被電視臺記錄了下來。
The tragic final days of one of the world's fattest men were spent desperately hoping to lose the weight that kept him bedridden for five years.
在Ricky Naputi最后的日子里，他迫切希望能減肥，在那時，他已經因為肥胖臥床5年了。
Ricky Naputi, who weighed nearly 900 pounds, died in November 2012, but before he passed, the 39-year-old opened up his home to reality TV cameras from TLC. The cable network aired his story Wednesday night in a special called "900 Pound Man: Race Against Time."
Ricky Naputi有近900磅重，2012年11月，Ricky Naputi走到了他人生的終點，在他死之前，這個39歲的男人接受TLC電視臺的真人秀拍攝，電視臺在每周三播出了這檔節目，節目的名字是：900磅體重的男人和時間賽跑。
Naputi, who lived in the U.S. island territory Guam, was bedridden and confined to his home, unable to walk or to bathe himself.
Naputi住在美國的關島，因為肥胖，他只能在家臥床，連行走和洗澡的自我能力都沒有能力都沒有。
"The last time I got out and enjoyed myself must have been years. I miss feeling the sun on my face. Miss showering, feeling water run down my body," he said at one point.
“我最后一次外出玩耍都是好些年以前的事了。我很懷念日光灑在臉上的感覺，懷念洗澡時洗熱水打在身上的感覺”他說過。
But Naputi had also vowed to turn his life around. He was working on losing enough weight to be able to fly to the continental U.S. for weight loss surgery.
Naputi曾發誓要過回健康的生活，為了可以乘坐飛機去美國做減肥手術，也很努力地減過肥。
The show also revealed Naputi's loving relationship with his wife, Cheryl, his primary caretaker.
Cheryl acted as Ricky's nurse, cooking for him, giving him sponge baths and helping him go to the bathroom, which she likened to "taking care of an overgrown baby."
Naputi生前的真人秀也展示了Naputi和他妻子親密的關系。Cheryl曾經是 Naputi的健康看護，婚后，Cheryl不僅充當了他的護士，還為他做飯、洗澡、幫助他上廁所，看起來，她的工作更像是照顧一個胖孩子。
The two met 10 years ago, and at first communicated only over the phone. Naputi was already obese, but still far from his heaviest.
他們在10年以前認識，第一次交談只是在電話里，當時Naputi已近患上肥胖癥，然而那時的他比最胖的時候好多了。
"He asked me for my number so he could call me up, so we could talk," a smiling Cheryl told the cameras.
面對鏡頭，Cheryl微笑著說：“他問我要了電話號碼，經常電話我聊天。”
"When I went to Ricky's apartment ... he only cracked [the door] about an inch."
“當我去Ricky'的公寓時，….他離門框的距離大約還有1寸的樣子，再胖點就過不去了。”
Three and a half weeks later, she moved in. The pair remained together until his death.
在交往了三周半的樣子，兩人住到了一起。直到Ricky'死，Cheryl都在他身邊。
