You won't find therapist Ciro Ortiz working in a room filled with books and a leather couch, a church basement or even a hospital.
不管是在擺著各類書籍和皮沙發(fā)的房間、教堂地下室、還是在醫(yī)院，你肯定找不到治療師西羅?奧爾蒂斯的身影。

That's because Ortiz is 11-years-old, and he makes his sessions available to everyone - as long as they have a subway pass.
那是因?yàn)閵W爾蒂斯只是個(gè)11歲的孩子，他的咨詢服務(wù)對所有人開放——只要他們經(jīng)過地鐵站。

Ortiz has spent his last nine Sundays at the Bedford L train stop in Brooklyn, doling out advice to anxious New Yorkers willing to slow down and talk for a few minutes.
前9個(gè)周日，奧爾蒂斯一直在布魯克林貝德福德L地鐵站里擺攤，如果紐約客感到焦慮不安且愿意停下匆忙的腳步跟他聊幾分鐘，他會(huì)很樂意為其提供建議。

His office is a folding card table and two chairs.
他的辦公室由一張折疊牌桌和兩把椅子組成。

His sessions last five minutes, cost $2, and are accompanied by the sounds of passing trains.
每次咨詢時(shí)間為5分鐘，價(jià)格為2美元，還伴隨著地鐵飛馳的聲音。

The sixth grader, who calls himself the Emotional Advice Kid, revealed he was inspired to offer counseling for two hours a week after he was bullied at school.
這位6年級小學(xué)生自稱“情感咨詢孩子”，他曾經(jīng)在學(xué)校受過欺負(fù)，靈機(jī)一動(dòng)想到了為路人每周提供兩小時(shí)情感咨詢服務(wù)的點(diǎn)子。

He uses the money he earns, usually $50 a week, to buy food and snacks for children at his school who can't afford it.
通常一周能掙50美元，而他卻把所有的報(bào)酬都用來買零食和好吃的，送給學(xué)校里那些買不起的孩子們。

Ortiz's clients have ranged from people seeking relationship advice to New Yorkers who are afraid of change.
從感情受困的人到害怕改變的紐約客，奧爾蒂斯的客戶里什么人都有。

One married couple who spotted Ortiz's stand sought out his help, with the husband revealing he had trouble with the fact his wife had recently gone vegan.
曾經(jīng)有一對夫妻在發(fā)現(xiàn)他的攤位后前去向他求助，丈夫坦言自己很看不慣老婆最近成了素食主義者。

'I told him that she didn't get mad at him for eating meat,' Ortiz told the New York Post.
“我跟他說，她都沒有因?yàn)槟愠匀馍銡饽兀眾W爾蒂斯告訴《紐約郵報(bào)》：

'She likes to eat what she wants and he likes to eat whatever he wants so they're just gonna have to deal with it.'
“他們兩個(gè)人各自想吃啥就吃啥，所以必須彼此適應(yīng)。”

Ortiz said he most commonly meets people who believe things were 'so much better' in the past.
奧爾蒂斯說，他最常遇到的是那些認(rèn)為自己過去比現(xiàn)在“要好得多”的人。

'We have to accept change,' he tells them.
“我們必須要接受改變，”他這樣開導(dǎo)他們。

'It's going to happen - it's always going to happen. Life is always changing.'
“該發(fā)生的總會(huì)發(fā)生——早晚都會(huì)。人生就是在不斷變化中。”

Jasmine Aequitas, Ortiz' mother, said he was nervous and 'unsure of himself' when he first opened up his stand on the subway platform.
媽媽賈絲明?艾奎塔斯說，奧爾蒂斯第一次在地鐵站月臺(tái)擺攤時(shí)忐忑不安、缺乏自信。

But after a few weeks, that fear has disappeared.
但幾周過后，他的膽怯就煙消云散了。

'He's coming back saying, "I've met so many wonderful people. I'm gonna end up having so many friends"', Aequitas recalled.
“他回來的時(shí)候說：'我遇到了許多很棒的人，我最后一定會(huì)交到很多朋友，'”媽媽回憶說。

New Yorkers have been grateful for the boy's advice, with one patient even coming up to his parents after to express her gratitude.
紐約客們都對男孩的建議心懷感激，有個(gè)尋求建議者隨后甚至找到了他的父母當(dāng)面表達(dá)感謝。

'(She) said that what he told her is what she'd been feeling in her gut the whole time,' revealed Ortiz' father Adam.
“她說，奧爾蒂斯的話正是一直深藏在她內(nèi)心的想法，”爸爸亞當(dāng)說道。

Ortiz credits his talent to his parents, saying they have always taught him to be nice to everyone and follow his passions.
奧爾蒂斯認(rèn)為自己的才能多虧了父母，他們總是教育自己要善待他人并勇于追尋自己的熱情。

But Ortiz has no plans to become a counselor when he grows up, foreseeing a career as a video game developer.
但他并不打算在長大后成為一名真正的顧問，他的夢想是當(dāng)一名電腦游戲開發(fā)員。

For now, though, the honor roll student is happy to help.
不過，至少目前，這名優(yōu)秀小學(xué)生非常樂意幫助他人。

'It's a good way to give back,' he said, 'and make money'.
他說：“這是個(gè)自己賺錢，回報(bào)他人的好方法。”
