这个人发明了一个漂浮装置来拯救他心爱的金鱼

There are so many people who prefer to raise cuddly, fluffy animals, but let’s not forget those who love water-dwelling pets such as goldfish. While their owners can’t really cuddle them, it doesn’t mean they don’t love their tiny water pets. Take for instance, 32-year-old fashion designer Henry Kim from South Korea who has an undeniable love for goldfish.

有很多人喜欢养可爱的毛茸茸的动物，但是我们不要忘记那些喜欢水栖宠物的人，比如金鱼。虽然他们的主人不能真正地拥抱他们，但这并不意味着他们不爱他们的小宠物。以32岁的韩国时装设计师亨利·金为例，他对金鱼有着不可否认的喜爱。

He keeps over 20 of them in three separate aquariums in his home. The kind-hearted man makes sure that there’s no fish left behind when it comes to taking care of them. So after losing some of them to a disease, Henry invented a ‘wheelchair’ that saved his beloved fish’s lives.

他把20多条金鱼养在家里三个不同的鱼缸里。这个善良的人确保在照顾它们的时候不会落下一条鱼。因此，在其中的一些金鱼死于一种疾病后，亨利发明了一种“轮椅”，挽救了他心爱的鱼的生命。

Sadly, goldfish are known to be commonly affected by swim bladder disease. This ailment disrupts their ability to properly regulate the air going in and out of their swim bladder, making the fish swim on its side or upside down.

遗憾的是，金鱼通常会受到鱼鳔疾病的影响。这种疾病破坏了它们正常调节进出鱼鳔的空气的能力，使鱼只能侧着游泳或倒立着游泳。

“Swim bladder disorder can be caused by many reasons such as overeating or unclean waters. I normally find it in fish that have been imported to Korea from Thailand or China,” said Henry.

“导致鱼鳔失调的原因有很多，比如暴饮暴食或不干净的水。我通常在从泰国或中国进口到韩国的鱼中发现这种物质。”

To help the fish out, Henry came up with a brilliant idea. He decided to create a tiny device that makes the fish stay in a correct position while underwater. After spending numerous hours online looking for ideas and researching ways to solve the issue, Henry came up with something he calls a ‘wheelchair’ – a flotation device made of plastic that allows the affected fish to swim normally.

为了帮助这条鱼，亨利想出了一个绝妙的主意。他决定发明一个小装置，使鱼在水下保持正确的位置。在花了大量时间在网上寻找解决问题的方法和想法后，亨利想出了一种他称之为“轮椅”的东西——一种由塑料制成的漂浮装置，可以让受影响的鱼正常游泳。

“Fish with this issue only live a couple of months, but thanks to this device, one of my fish has lived to be five months old. My wheelchair helps them stay afloat and have a longer life,” Henry said.

“有这种问题的鱼只能活几个月，但多亏了这个设备，我的一条鱼活了五个月。我的轮椅可以帮助它们漂浮，让它们活得更长。”亨利说。

The device quickly went viral with many people praising Henry for his kindness and creativity.

这款设备迅速走红，许多人称赞亨利的善良和创造力。
