It wasn’t rocket science, but it sure was clever.

虽不是火箭科学，但这位爸爸的做法可说极具生活智慧。

To get his four-year-old daughter to sleep, atomic physicist Benjamin Ames pulled out Adelaide’s pink guitar, and recorded the two of them singing a duet.

本杰明·艾姆斯是一位原子物理学家。为了哄四岁的小女儿阿德莱德入睡，他弹起女儿的粉红色小吉他，录下了父女俩的二重唱。

It worked.

他成功了。

On the night of September 17, fireworks were going off for a celebration in Austria, Ames explained to Yahoo News. Adelaide couldn’t sleep. Even after the noise had stopped, Adelaide thought she still heard the explosions.

艾姆斯对雅虎新闻解释了事情原委：9月17日，奥地利举国为庆祝节日，在夜间鸣放烟花。阿德莱德直到烟花爆炸声停止还无法入睡，她觉得轰隆隆的爆炸声犹在耳边。

To distract her, quick-thinking Dad pulled out the child’s instrument.

为了转移女儿的注意力，聪明的爸爸拿出了她的小吉他。

The resulting three minutes of their stop-and-go rendition of “Tonight You Belong to Me” includes dramatic pauses where the songstress commands silence for the fireworks she keeps thinking she hears.

这段父女俩演绎的三分钟的歌曲《今夜你属于我》时断时续——因为小歌星会时不时喊停，等她耳中不断回响的烟火爆炸声过去。

The finale features Adelaide belting out her part with some nice dramatic touches, so be sure to watch until the end.

歌曲尾声部分，小歌星飙歌表现不俗，所以建议大家一定要看到最后哦。

Ames, who thought the performance was endearing, posted it to YouTube. Others agreed: The adorable daddy-and-daughter duet now has more than 180,000 views.

艾姆斯将这段超有爱的视频发布到了YouTube上。观众们纷纷被感染了：可爱的父女二重唱至今已获得了超过18万的收视率。

“It obviously resonated with me,” the 32-year-old American Ph.D. student at the University of Innsbruck told Yahoo News. ”I still look at it and I see the beauty in it, but it surprises me that others like it so much.”

“这段视频的确让我感受到了心灵的共鸣。” 32岁的艾姆斯正在斯布鲁克大学攻读博士学位，他对雅虎新闻表示说：“每次回头看这个视频，我都在里面都能看到美好，对别人也这么喜欢这个视频感到惊喜。”

The physicist definitely has a fun side. Last year the science whiz won Alan Alda’s “Flame Challenge,” to explain a flame to an 11-year-old — which he did with an animated video.

这位物理学家的确是一位有童心的爸爸。去年他通过制作动画视频成功的向一个11岁的儿童解释了什么是火焰，从而在艾伦·艾尔达（美国知名导演）的“火焰挑战赛”中获胜。
