## The Radicalization of J.D.

## J.D. 的激进化

Vance

万斯

Simon van Zuylen-Wood | The Washington Post Magazine | January 4, 2022 | 6,044 words

西蒙·范·祖伦-伍德 | Simon van Zuylen-Wood华盛顿邮报杂志 | 2022 年 1 月 4 日 | 6,044 字

Five years ago, J.D.

五年前,J.D.

Vance was enjoying the success of his acclaimed 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.

万斯正在享受他 2016 年广受好评的回忆录《乡巴佬挽歌》的成功。

Today, he’s running for Senate in his home state of Ohio, bankrolled by tech-con icon Peter Thiel, and competing with Ted Cruz to tweet the most abrasive MAGA platitudes.

如今,他在家乡俄亥俄州竞选参议员,由科技界偶像彼得·蒂尔 (Peter Thiel) 资助,并与特德·克鲁兹 (Ted Cruz) 竞争在推特上发布最粗俗的 MAGA 陈词滥调。

How we ended up here isn’t the primary goal of van Zuylen-Wood’s intellectually driven feature, though; instead, it’s an attempt to answer the question of where “here” actually is.

不过,我们如何走到这一步并不是 van Zuylen-Wood 的智力驱动特征的主要目标;相反,它试图回答“这里”实际上在哪里的问题。

Watching Vance preen for prospective voters and explain his equivocations is maddening, sure, but it allows van Zuylen-Wood to tease apart the philosophical paradox at the heart of Vance’s attempted makeover.

看着万斯为潜在选民打扮得漂漂亮亮,并解释他的含糊其辞,确实令人抓狂,但这让范·祖伊伦-伍德能够梳理出万斯试图改变的核心哲学悖论。

“Vance’s media strategy seems to be that by playing Don Jr. on the Internet, he can push for more substantive populism in real life,” he writes.

“万斯的媒体策略似乎是,通过在互联网上扮演小唐,他可以在现实生活中推动更实质性的民粹主义,”他写道。

“The success of that tactic may depend on how far removed he truly seems from the Brookings Institution-to-Netflix pipeline he was riding until recently.” Inside (beltway) baseball?

“这一策略的成功可能取决于他距离布鲁金斯学会到 Netflix 的管道有多远,直到最近他才一直在使用这条管道。”里面(环城公路)棒球?

Perhaps.

也许。

A crucial preview of the next few years of so-called culture wars?

未来几年所谓文化战争的重要预演?

Definitely.

确实。

Don’t say you weren’t warned.

不要说你没有被警告过。

## No Escape From Guantánamo

## 无法逃离关塔那摩

Abigail Hauslohner | The Washington Post | January 7, 2022 | 3,700 Words

阿比盖尔·豪斯洛纳 |华盛顿邮报 | 2022 年 1 月 7 日 | 3,700 字

The United States began detaining men at Guantánamo Bay 20 years ago this week.

20 年前的本周,美国开始在关塔那摩湾拘留男子。

Nearly 800 prisoners have spent time in the facility’s cells; today 39 men still remain behind bars there, 27 of whom have never been charged with a crime.

近 800 名囚犯曾在该设施的牢房里度过;如今,仍有 39 名男子仍被关押在那里,其中 27 人从未被指控犯罪。

This haunting, must-read story is about men who’ve been released and resettled in third countries — a Tunisian in Slovakia, for instance, and a Yemeni in Serbia.

这个令人难以忘怀、必读的故事讲述的是被释放并在第三国重新定居的男人——例如斯洛伐克的突尼斯人和塞尔维亚的也门人。

Abigail Hauslohner describes them as “the discarded men of one of America’s darkest chapters.” After enduring torture and other horrors at Guantánamo, they’ve been forced to live hundreds or thousands of miles from any family or friends.

阿比盖尔·豪斯洛纳将他们描述为“美国最黑暗的章节之一中被抛弃的人”。在关塔那摩经历了酷刑和其他恐怖之后,他们被迫居住在远离家人或朋友数百或数千英里的地方。

They face persecution and poverty, as well as the lingering effects of trauma.

他们面临迫害和贫困,以及创伤的挥之不去的影响。

If they can rely on anything, it’s each other.

如果说他们有什么可以依靠的,那就是彼此。

“They trade advice, news and jokes in text-message chains,” Hauslohner writes.

“他们通过短信链交换建议、新闻和笑话,”豪斯洛纳写道。

“And when things get bad, they call each other.” —SD

“当事情变得糟糕时,他们就会互相打电话。” —SD

## Anatomy of a Murder Confession

## 谋杀供述的剖析

Maurice Chammah | The Marshall Project and Dallas Morning News | January 18, 2022 | 6,600 Words

莫里斯·查玛 |马歇尔计划和达拉斯晨报| 2022 年 1 月 18 日 | 6,600 字

“They put us together…and tell us that we can do whatever we want, as long as we solve cases.” That’s what James Holland, a Texas Ranger and media-dubbed “serial killer whisperer,” once said about the Rangers’ work on unsolved murders.

“他们把我们聚集在一起……并告诉我们,只要我们破案,我们就可以做任何我们想做的事。”被媒体称为“连环杀手低语者”的德克萨斯游骑兵队队员詹姆斯·霍兰德(James Holland)曾这样评价游骑兵队侦破未破谋杀案的工作。

The person he said it to was James Driskill, a suspect in a cold case, and Holland wasn’t kidding: To pin the murder on Driskill, the Rangers used hypnosis, deception, a “hypothetical” confession, and other investigative methods criticized by criminal justice experts and advocates as dramatically increasing the risk of convicting an innocent person.

他说这句话的对象是詹姆斯·德里斯基尔(James Driskill),一名悬案嫌疑人,霍兰德不是在开玩笑:为了将谋杀罪归咎于德里斯基尔,游骑兵队使用了催眠、欺骗、“假设”认罪以及其他被刑事司法专家和倡导者批评为极大增加了无辜者定罪风险的调查方法。

Which is exactly what Driskill, now serving a prison sentence, and his legal team say happened to him.

正在服刑的德里斯基尔和他的法律团队说,这正是发生在他身上的事情。

Maurice Chammah’s story about Holland’s questionable techniques, which aren’t isolated to Driskill’s case, is as jaw-dropping as it is expertly crafted.

莫里斯·查玛(Maurice Chammah)关于霍兰德可疑技术的故事不仅与德里斯基尔的案例无关,而且精心制作,令人瞠目结舌。

## Is Ginni Thomas a Threat to the Supreme Court?

## Ginni Thomas 对最高法院构成威胁吗?

Jane Mayer | The New Yorker | January 24, 2022 | 6,800 words

简·梅尔 |纽约客 | 2022 年 1 月 24 日 | 6,800 字

Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement was the big Supreme Court news of the week, but don’t sleep on this disturbing story about Clarence Thomas’s wife’s many, many ties to right-wing groups and figures—including ones directly involved with major SCOTUS cases.

斯蒂芬·布雷耶法官的退休是本周最高法院的重大新闻,但不要对这个关于克拉伦斯·托马斯的妻子与右翼团体和人物(包括直接参与最高法院重大案件的人)有许多联系的令人不安的故事熟视无睹。

Perhaps you read about Ginni Thomas expressing support for the January 6 insurrectionists and the lie that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election.

也许您读过吉尼·托马斯 (Ginni Thomas) 对 1 月 6 日叛乱分子表示支持,以及唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 实际上赢得 2020 年大选的谎言。

But did you know she sits on the advisory board of a conservative academic group that filed an amicus brief in the affirmative-action suit that SCOTUS just took up, or that she was a paid consultant at a “security” organization when its leader filed a brief supporting Trump’s Muslim ban?

但你是否知道她是一个保守派学术团体的顾问委员会成员,该团体在最高法院刚刚提起的平权行动诉讼中提交了一份法庭之友陈述,或者当一个“安全”组织的领导人提交一份支持特朗普穆斯林禁令的陈述时,她是一个“安全”组织的付费顾问?

Those examples are just the tip of the iceberg in this damning story, reported by one of the great chroniclers of U.S. political power.

这些例子只是美国政治权力的一位伟大编年史家报道的这个可恶故事的冰山一角。

Above all, Jane Mayer calls much-needed attention to the fact that SCOTUS is not bound by a code of conduct, the kind of rules that would prevent such egregious conflicts of interest.

最重要的是,简·梅尔呼吁人们迫切关注 SCOTUS 不受行为准则约束的事实,而这种行为准则可以防止此类严重的利益冲突。

## The Betrayal

## 背叛

George Packer | The Atlantic | January 31, 2022 | 20,818 words

乔治·帕克 |大西洋 | 2022 年 1 月 31 日 | 20,818 字

When the United States prepared to withdraw from Afghanistan last August — 20 years into its failed war — they fully expected Kabul to fall to the Taliban; they just didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

去年8月,当美国准备从阿富汗撤军时——战争已经失败20年了——他们完全预计喀布尔会落入塔利班之手;他们只是没想到会这么快发生。

At The Atlantic, George Packer reports on the hopelessly bureaucratic Special Immigrant Visa program and the Afghan allies that attempted to use it to flee their country, crushed in a sea of chaos and abject human suffering amid crowds desperate to flee Kabul at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

在《大西洋月刊》上,乔治·帕克报道了令人绝望的官僚特别移民签证计划,以及试图利用该计划逃离自己国家的阿富汗盟友,他们在哈米德·卡尔扎伊国际机场急于逃离喀布尔的人群中,陷入了混乱的海洋和令人悲惨的人类苦难。

This is a harrowing read; much is told through the eyes of those who fled and readers should be warned that some scenes will not be forgotten.

这是一本令人痛苦的读物;通过那些逃亡者的眼睛讲述了很多事情,读者应该被警告,有些场景不会被忘记。

The greatest tragedy, in addition to the many lives lost unnecessarily, is that it didn’t have to be this way: “No law required the U.S. government to save a single one—only a moral debt did,” writes Packer.

除了不必要地失去许多生命之外,最大的悲剧是事情本来不应该是这样的:“没有法律要求美国政府拯救一个人——只有道德债务才这样做,”帕克写道。

Had the U.S. acted earlier and with much greater will and focus, they could have saved far far more than the 124 thousand they estimate to have evacuated: “Administration officials told me that no one could have anticipated how quickly Kabul would fall.

如果美国更早采取行动,并有更大的意愿和重点,他们所拯救的人数可能远远超过他们估计撤离的 12.4 万人:“政府官员告诉我,没有人能预料到喀布尔会以多快的速度陷落。

This is true, and it goes for both Afghans and Americans.

这是事实,对阿富汗人和美国人来说都是如此。

But the failure to plan for a worst-case scenario while there was time, during the spring and early summer, as Afghanistan began to collapse, led directly to the fatal chaos in August.” —KS

但在春季和初夏阿富汗开始崩溃时,未能在还有时间的情况下为最坏的情况做好计划,直接导致了八月份致命的混乱。” —KS

## Into the Depths

## 深入深处

Tara Roberts | National Geographic | February 7, 2022 | 5,200 words

塔拉·罗伯茨|国家地理| 2022 年 2 月 7 日 | 5,200 字

According to academic research, the transatlantic slave trade comprised at least 36,000 voyages — that’s how many trips it took to forcibly transport some 12.5 million Africans from freedom to bondage.

根据学术研究,跨大西洋奴隶贸易至少有 36,000 次航行——这就是将约 1250 万非洲人从自由状态强行运送到奴役状态所需的次数。

But 1,000 or so of those ships likely sank, taking with them the bodies and stories of the people on board.

但其中大约有 1000 艘船可能沉没,船上人员的尸体和故事也随之沉没。

A remarkable group of Black divers is now searching for these lost ships.

一群出色的黑人潜水员正在寻找这些失踪的船只。

When writer Tara Roberts joined them — quitting her job, giving up her apartment, and dipping into her savings to make it happen — she learned more than she ever thought possible about the power of history, including her own family’s roots.

当作家塔拉·罗伯茨加入他们的行列——辞掉工作,放弃公寓,动用自己的积蓄来实现这一目标——她对历史的力量,包括她自己家族的根源,了解得比她想象的还要多。

Roberts’ beautiful piece documenting her journey complements a six-part podcast about the slave trade and its shipwrecks.

罗伯茨的精彩作品记录了她的旅程,与有关奴隶贸易及其沉船的六部分播客相辅相成。

There’s a moment in the piece I won’t soon forget, when divers pour soil from the island where a group of slaves was captured over the waves near Cape Town where 212 of them perished in a capsized ship.

这篇文章中的一个时刻我不会很快忘记,当时潜水员从开普敦附近的海浪中捕获了一群奴隶,其中 212 名奴隶在一艘倾覆的船上丧生。

“For the first time since 1794,” a diver tells Roberts, “[these] people can sleep in their own land.” —SD

“自 1794 年以来,这是第一次,”一名潜水员告诉罗伯茨,“[这些]人们可以睡在自己的土地上。” —SD

## Ikea’s Race for the Last of Europe’s Old-Growth Forest

## 宜家争夺欧洲最后一片古老森林的竞赛

Alexander Sammon | The New Republic | February 16, 2022 | 7,137 words

亚历山大·萨蒙 |新共和 | 2022 年 2 月 16 日 | 7,137 字

Sure, your baby’s new SUNDVIK crib is cute and modern, but do you have any idea where the wood came from?

当然,您宝宝的全新 SUNDVIK 桑维 婴儿床既可爱又现代,但您知道木材是从哪里来的吗?

Romania has one of the largest old-growth forests left in the world, home to ancient and rare spruce, beech, and oak trees.

罗马尼亚拥有世界上最大的原始森林之一,是古老而稀有的云杉、山毛榉和橡树的家园。

Joining the European Union in 2007 opened Romania up to a massive market for this prized cheap timber, which fuels the fast furniture industry.

2007 年加入欧盟,罗马尼亚为这种珍贵的廉价木材打开了一个巨大的市场,从而推动了快速家具行业的发展。

IKEA, which makes big sustainability claims, is the largest individual consumer of wood on the planet; in 2015, it started to buy forestland in Romania in bulk and is now the country’s largest private landowner.

宜家 (IKEA) 大力倡导可持续发展,是地球上最大的木材个人消费者。 2015年,它开始批量购买罗马尼亚的林地,目前是该国最大的私人土地所有者。

But more than half of Romania’s wood is illegally harvested and, as Alexander Sammon intrepidly reports, what’s actually happening on the ground is not always legit and, in some cases, has turned violent.

但罗马尼亚一半以上的木材是非法采伐的,正如亚历山大·萨蒙(Alexander Sammon)无畏地报道的那样,实际发生的事情并不总是合法的,在某些情况下甚至演变为暴力。

“Tracing any individual tree from forest floor to showroom presents a near impossible challenge,” writes Sammon.

“追踪从森林地面到陈列室的任何一棵树几乎是不可能的挑战,”萨蒙写道。

“As wood moves through the supply chain, it becomes increasingly difficult to pin down.” This is a dismal but gripping and important read.

“随着木材在供应链中的流动,它变得越来越难以确定。”这是一本令人沮丧但扣人心弦且重要的读物。

## Endless Exile: The Tangled Politics Keeping a Uyghur Man in Limbo

## 无尽的流放:错综复杂的政治让维吾尔人陷入困境

Annie Hylton | The Walrus | February 28, 2022 | 8,160 words

安妮·希尔顿 |海象| 2022 年 2 月 28 日 | 8,160 字

While trying to flee persecution in China, Ayoob Mohammed, an Uyghur man, found himself in Afghanistan when the U.S. invaded the country in response to 9/11.

维吾尔族男子阿尤布·穆罕默德 (Ayoob Mohammed) 在试图逃离中国的迫害时,发现自己身在阿富汗,而美国因 9/11 事件而入侵阿富汗。

Mohammed was among more than a dozen Uyghur men who were caught and sold to the U.S. for bounty as an alleged terrorist, held for four years at Guantánamo Bay, and finally exonerated.

穆罕默德是十几名维吾尔男子中的一员,他们被当作恐怖分子被捕并卖到美国以获取赏金,在关塔那摩湾关押了四年,最终被无罪释放。

Still, 16 years after being released, he is still trying to prove he’s innocent.

尽管如此,出狱 16 年后,他仍在努力证明自己的清白。

This story is exceptionally reported and told with nuance and empathy by Hylton, who traces Mohammed’s journey from his Uyghur homeland in northwest China to Guantánamo to Albania, where he has since resettled — and continues to be a victim “of politics among nations, a sacrifice to their interests.” Hylton examines the “invisible geopolitical forces” that “have bent his story to their will” and have kept him from reuniting with his wife Mailikaimu and their kids in Canada, and also shows the challenges of long-term family separation through their story.

希尔顿以细致入微和同情心对这个故事进行了特别的报道和讲述,他追溯了穆罕默德从中国西北部的维吾尔族家乡到关塔那摩再到阿尔巴尼亚的旅程,后来他又在那里定居——并且仍然是“国家间政治的受害者,是对国家利益的牺牲”。希尔顿审视了“无形的地缘政治力量”,这些力量“让他的故事屈服于他们的意愿”,并阻止他与妻子麦凯姆和他们在加拿大的孩子团聚,并通过他们的故事展示了长期家庭分离的挑战。

## The Man Who Paid for America’s Fear

杰森·法戈恩 |旧金山纪事报 | 2022 年 3 月 2 日 | 14,500 字

This is the definitive story of Hamid Hayat, a man wrongfully convicted of terrorism, sentenced to prison on his 25th birthday, and finally set free after 14 years behind bars.

这是哈米德·哈亚特 (Hamid Hayat) 的真实故事,他是一名被错判犯有恐怖主义罪的男子,在 25 岁生日时被判入狱,并在入狱 14 年后终于获释。

It is a profile, yes, but it is also a deep, unflinching examination of just how ugly and far-reaching Islamophobia became in America after the 9/11 attacks.

是的,这是一个侧写,但它也是对 9/11 袭击后美国的伊斯兰恐惧症变得多么丑陋和影响深远的一次深入、坚定的审视。

## Love and Longing in the Seaweed Album

The news of 2022 is like an anvil weighing down on our collective psyche.

2022 年的消息就像一块铁砧压在我们的集体心理上。

This week, I found myself hungry for a read that felt like a relief — a collection of words that would inspire delight, not despair.

这周,我发现自己渴望读一本能让我松一口气的书——一本能激发喜悦而不是绝望的文字集。

This essay delivered.

这篇论文发表了。

It’s the quintessential example of a factoid-filled piece you read and then find yourself immediately (and perhaps annoyingly) telling people about.

这是一个典型的例子,你读了一篇充满事实的文章,然后发现自己立即(也许令人恼火地)告诉人们。

Me to a friend: “Did you know that seaweed collecting in 19th-century England was a feminist activity?” Also me: “It’s possible that seaweed collecting inspired George Eliot to start writing fiction.” Me again: “Tweens once exchanged seaweed albums like kids now trade Pokemon cards!” Sasha Archibald writes with grace and humor, and she shows how, far more than just a charming pastime, the bygone practice of seaweed collecting intersected with the wider currents of history.

我对朋友说:“你知道在 19 世纪的英国收集海藻是一项女权主义活动吗?”我也说:“海藻收集可能启发了乔治·艾略特开始写小说。”我再说一遍:“青少年曾经交换海藻专辑,就像孩子们现在交换神奇宝贝卡一样!”萨莎·阿奇博尔德 (Sasha Archibald) 的写作优雅而幽默,她展示了过去的海藻采集活动不仅仅是一种迷人的消遣,而是如何与更广泛的历史潮流相交叉的。

## 20 Days in Mariupol

## 马里乌波尔 20 天

Mstyslav Chernov | The Associated Press | March 21, 2022 | 2,400 words

姆斯蒂斯拉夫·切尔诺夫 |美联社 | 2022 年 3 月 21 日 | 2,400 字

“The Russians were hunting us down.

“俄罗斯人正在追捕我们。

They had a list of names, including ours, and they were closing in.” So begins video journalist Mstyslav Chernov’s account of the siege of Mariupol, Ukraine.

他们有一份名单,其中包括我们的,而且他们正在逼近。”视频记者姆斯蒂斯拉夫·切尔诺夫 (Mstyslav Chernov) 对乌克兰马里乌波尔围困事件的报道就是这样开始的。

In spare, blood-chilling prose crafted by Lori Pinnant, an AP colleague in Paris, based on conversations with Chernov, this feature recounts the extraordinary lengths journalists have gone to in reporting on Russia’s senseless bombardment of the city — and the extraordinary efforts Vladimir Putin’s forces have taken to suppress the truth.

美联社驻巴黎同事洛里·皮南特根据与切尔诺夫的对话,撰写了一篇简洁、令人毛骨悚然的散文,这篇专题报道讲述了记者们在报道俄罗斯对这座城市的毫无意义的轰炸时所花费的巨大篇幅,以及弗拉基米尔·普京的军队为压制真相所采取的非凡努力。

Chernov conveys the fear, shame, grief, anger, sadness, and — above all — sense of responsibility that comes with bearing witness to an unfathomable tragedy.

切尔诺夫传达了恐惧、羞耻、悲痛、愤怒、悲伤,以及最重要的是,见证一场深不可测的悲剧所带来的责任感。

This is war reporting at its finest, its most clear-eyed, its most humane.

这是最精彩、最清晰、最人性化的战争报道。

The difficulty of summarizing Rachel Aviv’s latest feature is a testament to how good it is, and how complex.

What starts as the story of a teenager escaping an abusive parent, navigating foster care, and making a life for herself in the form of a full ride to the University of Pennsylvania, a Rhodes scholarship, and even a new last name pivots at a certain point to something else entirely: an examination of the narrow frameworks that powerful institutions impose onto trauma and suffering, an indictment of the unforgiving expectations society has of abuse victims, and a study in human resilience.

故事一开始是一个青少年逃离虐待父母、在寄养家庭中度过、并以全程前往宾夕法尼亚大学、获得罗德奖学金、甚至换了一个新姓氏的方式为自己谋生的故事,在某个时刻转向了完全不同的事物:对强大机构强加给创伤和痛苦的狭隘框架的审视,对社会对虐待受害者的无情期望的控诉,以及对人类复原力的研究。

## The DIY Duo Behind the Amazon Labor Union’s Guerrilla Bid to Make History

## 亚马逊工会游击队创造历史背后的 DIY 二人组

Josefa Velasquez | The City | March 24, 2022 | 4,200 Words

何塞法·委拉斯开兹 |城市 | 2022 年 3 月 24 日 | 4,200 字

Amazon workers in Staten Island made history last week by voting to establish the company’s first union.

史泰登岛的亚马逊员工上周投票建立了公司第一个工会,创造了历史。

The grassroots effort was led by two men, Christian Smalls and Derrick Palmer, who faced all manner of racist and classist indignities, often as a matter of policy created by Amazon officials to derail unionization.

这项草根行动由克里斯蒂安·斯莫尔斯(Christian Smalls)和德里克·帕尔默(Derrick Palmer)两人领导,他们面临着各种种族主义和阶级歧视的侮辱,而这些侮辱往往是亚马逊官员制定的旨在破坏工会化的政策问题。

On the eve of the vote, The City, a non-profit newsroom, published this fantastic behind-the-scenes look at what was going down on Staten Island.

在投票前夕,非营利新闻编辑室《城市》发表了这篇精彩的幕后报道,讲述了史坦顿岛正在发生的事情。

It’s essential reading at a pivotal moment in U.S. labor history, full of rich detail and blistering reminders of why Amazon unions are necessary.

在美国劳工历史的关键时刻,这本书是一本必备读物,其中充满了丰富的细节,并强烈提醒我们为什么亚马逊工会是必要的。

For example: “[Smalls] was fired for allegedly stealing two minutes of company time, which he attributes to ‘human error’ for punching in his work time incorrectly.” And: “Sun-faded prayer candles commemorate a 24-year-old [Amazon worker]…killed by a driver in November as she crossed the street during her near-midnight lunch break.” —SD

例如:“[斯莫尔斯]因涉嫌窃取公司两分钟的时间而被解雇,他将其归因于‘人为错误’,因为他错误地输入了工作时间。”并且:“在阳光下褪色的祈祷蜡烛是为了纪念一名 24 岁的[亚马逊员工]……11 月份她在接近午夜午休时间过马路时被司机撞死。” —SD

## Untold

Paula Lavigne and Tom Junod | ESPN | April 11, 2022 | 31,519 words

Even those detached from the world of college sports remember how Penn State’s legendary football program crumbled (at least reputationally) under the weight of assistant coach Jerry Sandusky’s horrific sexual abuse of young boys.

即使是那些与大学体育界无关的人也记得宾夕法尼亚州立大学传奇的橄榄球项目是如何在助理教练杰里·桑达斯基对年轻男孩的可怕性虐待的重压下崩溃的(至少在声誉上)。

However, as Lavigne and Junod chronicle in this sprawling, compulsively readable investigation, it wasn’t the first time a monster found some measure of protection in the organization.

然而,正如拉维尼和朱诺在这项庞大的、令人难以阅读的调查中所记录的那样,这并不是怪物第一次在组织中找到某种程度的保护。

After a young linebacker named Todd Hodne was arrested for rape in 1978, head coach Joe Paterno kicked him off the team; yet, Hodne would go on to strike again and again, enabled in part by the culture of deification that surrounded the Nittany Lions.

1978 年,一位名叫托德·霍德内 (Todd Hodne) 的年轻后卫因强奸罪被捕后,主教练乔·帕特诺 (Joe Paterno) 将他踢出了球队;然而,霍德内却一次又一次地发起进攻,这在一定程度上得益于尼塔尼雄狮队周围的神化文化。

The story of Hodne — indeed, the story of the women whose lives he disrupted and destroyed over multiple years in multiple states, some of whom broke decades-long silence — spills over the lines of “magazine story” into something altogether different.

霍德内的故事——实际上,是他多年来在多个州扰乱和摧毁了她们的生活的女性的故事,其中一些人打破了长达数十年的沉默——超越了“杂志故事”的界限,变成了完全不同的东西。

It’s a testament to survival.

这是生存的证明。

To living through atrocity and coming out the other side.

## Safer Than Childbirth

## 比分娩更安全

Tamara Dean | The American Scholar | March 4, 2022 | 3,700 words

塔玛拉·迪恩 |美国学者| 2022 年 3 月 4 日 | 3,700 字

Anti-abortion advocates seeking to overturn Roe v.

反堕胎倡导者寻求推翻罗伊诉。

Wade would have you think that the practice of terminating pregnancies is a new phenomenon, brought on by the rise of feminism and the (imaginary) moral decay of America.

韦德会让你认为终止妊娠的做法是一种新现象,是由女权主义的兴起和美国(想象中的)道德败坏带来的。

As Tamara Dean lays bare in this essay, this is nothing short of a lie.

正如塔玛拉·迪恩(Tamara Dean)在这篇文章中所揭露的那样,这完全是一个谎言。

Surveying historical literature and using Nancy Ann Harris, a woman who died in 1876 in a rural Wisconsin county, as a lens into the past, Dean shows how abortion was a legally and morally acceptable way for a woman to care for her health, until misogynistic, racist forces decided it shouldn’t be.

迪恩查阅了历史文献,并以 1876 年在威斯康星州乡村去世的女性南希·安·哈里斯 (Nancy Ann Harris) 作为过去的镜头,展示了堕胎如何成为女性保健​​健康的一种在法律和道德上可接受的方式,直到厌恶女性的种族主义势力决定不应该这样做。

“Every woman, including Nancy, would have known friends, sisters, or cousins who died or were debilitated while giving birth,” Dean writes.

“每个女人,包括南希,都会认识在分娩时死亡或虚弱的朋友、姐妹或表兄弟姐妹,”迪恩写道。

“They would have known those who took pains to avoid it.” This essay is a necessary corrective, and beautifully written to boot.

“他们会认识那些煞费苦心避免这种情况的人。”这篇文章是必要的纠正,并且写得很漂亮。

## The Woman Who Killed Roe

## 杀死罗伊的女人

Kerry Howley | New York Magazine | May 9, 2022 | 7,800 words

凯瑞·豪利 |纽约杂志 | 2022 年 5 月 9 日 | 7,800 字

When I was 13, sex education was part of religion class — this is what happens when you attend a Catholic middle school.

当我 13 岁的时候,性教育是宗教课的一部分——这就是你在天主教中学上学时发生的事情。

We were given a lot of atrocious advice, such as, if you have gay feelings, you should talk to your priest about it.

我们得到了很多残暴的建议,比如,如果你有同性恋的感觉,你应该和你的牧师谈谈。

When we learned about abortion, a guest speaker — a classmate’s mom who worked at a “crisis pregnancy center” — told us the procedure was a sin and passed out silver pins supposedly the size and shape of a fetus’s feet at some number of weeks of gestation.

当我们了解堕胎时,一位演讲嘉宾——一位在“危机怀孕中心”工作的同学的妈妈——告诉我们堕胎是一种罪恶,并分发了银别针,据说这些银别针的大小和形状与怀孕几周时胎儿脚的大小和形状相同。

I believe we were encouraged to wear them on the lapels of our uniforms.

我相信我们被鼓励将它们佩戴在制服的翻领上。

This experience has been top of mind since I read Kerry Howley’s chilling profile of Marjorie Dannenfelser, the most powerful anti-abortion activist in America.

自从我读到凯瑞·豪利 (Kerry Howley) 对美国最有权势的反堕胎活动人士马乔里·丹南费尔瑟 (Marjorie Dannenfelser) 的令人毛骨悚然的描述以来,这段经历一直是我脑海中最重要的事情。

Dannenfelser is from my hometown, she went to the same university I did, and she was married in the Catholic church attached to my middle school.

Dannenfelser是我的家乡人,她和我读的是同一所大学,她在我中学附属的天主教堂里结婚了。

Reading Howley’s piece was like going through the looking glass.

阅读豪利的文章就像透过镜子一样。

Dannenfelser is a terrifying, single-minded, vengeful extremist whose (anti-)life’s work relies on images of “murdered” embryos and fetuses, stripped of the physical bodies, the well-being, and the humanity of the people who carry them.

丹南菲尔瑟是一个可怕的、一心一意、复仇心重的极端分子,他的(反)生命工作依赖于“被谋杀”的胚胎和胎儿的图像,这些胚胎和胎儿被剥夺了身体、福祉和携带它们的人的人性。

Howley’s piece made me cry.

## Dislodged

Josh McColough | The Missouri Review | April 15, 2022 | 5,508 words

乔什·麦科洛 |密苏里评论| 2022 年 4 月 15 日 | 5,508 字

I was drawn this week to a few reads about California road trips, including one on Joan Didion, as well as an essay by Josh McColough in The Missouri Review that recounts part of a West Coast road trip with his teenage daughter, when a road closure in Northern California leads to an unexpected delay.

这周我被一些关于加州公路旅行的读物所吸引,其中包括一篇关于琼·迪迪安的文章,以及乔什·麦科洛在《密苏里评论》上发表的一篇文章,这篇文章讲述了他和十几岁的女儿在西海岸公路旅行的一部分,当时北加州的道路封闭导致了意外的延误。

At one point in their journey, they approach a dangerous section of Highway 101 that’s prone to landslides — the Last Chance Grade — and must decide whether to wait until the highway is fixed, or turn around.

在旅途中的某个时刻,他们接近 101 号高速公路的一个危险路段,该路段容易发生山体滑坡——最后机会坡度——必须决定是等待高速公路修好,还是掉头。

“Sometimes in order to move forward, you have to stay put for a bit—one of the many lessons imparted to us from the virus,” writes McColough.

麦科洛写道:“有时,为了前进,你必须原地踏步——这是病毒给我们的众多教训之一。”

And so they decide to wait, which opens up the space to be still: to notice all the tiny banana slugs on the forest floor, to ponder just how long it took for the old-growth redwoods to grow that tall, to watch the coastal fog creep inland and do its thing.

因此,他们决定等待,这打开了静止的空间:注意森林地面上所有微小的香蕉蛞蝓,思考古老的红杉需要多长时间才能长得那么高,观察沿海的雾气向内陆蔓延并发挥作用。

Reading about their experience on this beautiful spot of earth made me feel small in a humbling yet positive way, and McColough makes poignant observations throughout about humanity, our vulnerable environment, and our place within it.

读到他们在地球上这个美丽地方的经历让我以一种谦卑但积极的方式感到自己的渺小,麦科洛对人类、我们脆弱的环境以及我们在其中的地位进行了深刻的观察。

I paused a number of times while reading to allow myself to feel sadness for our world, but also to feel joy — because how lucky are we, ultimately, to be able to live in such a place?

我在阅读时多次停顿,让自己为我们的世界感到悲伤,但也感到快乐——因为我们最终能够生活在这样的地方是多么幸运?

“Our inability to see ourselves as tiny points on a much longer ecological or geological spectrum is our uniquely human blind spot,” he writes.

他写道:“我们无法将自己视为更长的生态或地质光谱上的微小点,这是我们独特的人类盲点。”

“It’s where and how we fall short.” Take the time to read this thoughtful piece.

“这就是我们的不足之处和不足之处。”花点时间阅读这篇深思熟虑的文章。

## What Bullets Do to Bodies

## 子弹对身体的影响

Jason Fagone | HuffPost Highline | April 26, 2017 | 7,799 words

杰森·法戈恩 |赫芬顿邮报高线 | 2017 年 4 月 26 日 | 7,799 字

I’m breaking from tradition here and highlighting a story that’s already been in one of these newsletters, and as a top pick no less.

我在这里打破传统,强调一个已经出现在这些时事通讯中的故事,并且也是首选。

The circumstances demand it.

形势需要它。

On Tuesday, a gunman armed with two legally purchased AR-style assault rifles slaughtered 19 children and two teachers in a single classroom at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

周二,一名持两支合法购买的 AR 式突击步枪的枪手在德克萨斯州尤瓦尔迪一所小学的一间教室里屠杀了 19 名儿童和两名教师。

As authorities worked to identify the victims, they asked parents to provide DNA samples.

当当局努力确认受害者身份时,他们要求家长提供 DNA 样本。

What’s unspoken in this detail is that the dead children were unrecognizable, or so mangled that it would have been an unimaginable cruelty to ask their parents to look at them.

这个细节中没有明说的是,死去的孩子已经面目全非,或者伤痕累累,如果让他们的父母看看他们,那将是一种难以想象的残忍行为。

I can’t get this fact out of my mind, and it prompted me to re-read one of the best pieces of explanatory journalism in recent memory.

我无法忘记这个事实,它促使我重新阅读最近记忆中最好的解释性新闻文章之一。

Almost exactly five years ago, Jason Fagone spent time with the head of trauma surgery at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia to understand the damage that bullets do to bodies.

大约五年前,贾森·法戈恩 (Jason Fagone) 与费城天普大学医院创伤外科负责人一起了解了子弹对身体造成的伤害。

What Dr. Amy Goldberg had to say about the Sandy Hook massacre could be said today about the shooting in Uvalde: “As a country, we lost our teachable moment….

艾米·戈德堡博士对桑迪胡克大屠杀的看法可以用今天的尤瓦尔迪枪击事件来形容:“作为一个国家,我们失去了受教育的时刻......

The fact that not a single one of those kids was able to be transported to a hospital, tells me that they were not just dead, but really really really really dead.

这些孩子中没有一个能够被送往医院,这一事实告诉我,他们不仅死了,而且真的死了。

Ten-year-old kids, riddled with bullets, dead as doornails.” America is a country where the mass murder of children is followed by mourning and forgetting, but never action: Congress hasn’t passed a single piece of gun control legislation since Sandy Hook.

十岁的孩子,浑身是弹孔,死得像门钉一样。”在美国,大规模屠杀儿童之后,人们哀悼和遗忘,却从未采取行动:自桑迪胡克以来,国会没有通过任何枪支管制立法。

Until that changes, Goldberg’s comment will be relevant again in another community, at another school.

在这种情况发生改变之前,戈德堡的评论将在另一个社区、另一所学校再次发挥作用。

It’s only a matter of time.

这只是时间问题。

## Inside Kyiv on the Night of Ukraine’s Stunning World Cup Qualifier Victory

## 基辅内乌克兰令人惊叹的世界杯预选赛胜利之夜

Wright Thompson | ESPN | June 2, 2022 | 4,282 words

“I came to Kyiv to watch a city watch a game,” writes Wright Thompson.

“我来到基辅是为了观看一座城市的比赛,”赖特·汤普森写道。

And watch he does, while absorbing and documenting all he can as he wanders the capital and spends time with Ukrainians in this gem of a piece.

看着他这样做,同时吸收和记录他在首都漫步并与乌克兰人共度时光的一切,在这件瑰宝中。

Thompson captures the air in Kyiv on this first day of summer: the fear felt when air raid sirens go off, the tension that builds in the hour before the men’s national team plays Scotland in a must-win World Cup playoff semifinal, and the strangeness of life, of everything now.

汤普森捕捉到了夏季第一天基辅的空气:空袭警报响起时的恐惧感、男子国家队在必胜的世界杯附加赛半决赛对阵苏格兰队前一小时内的紧张气氛,以及现在生活和一切的陌生感。

“But still there is an unspoken feeling hovering over everything, a mixture of worry that the success they’ve known so far could turn to defeat, that the destruction of war might return to Kyiv.” Everything in this piece feels raw and immediate: the scenes, the conversations, the moments.

“但仍然有一种不言而喻的感觉笼罩在一切之上,一种混合​​的担忧,即他们迄今为止所知道的成功可能会变成失败,战争的破坏可能会回到基辅。”这件作品中的一切都感觉原始而直接:场景、对话、时刻。

“History is being written in real time and nobody knows how things will end.

“历史是实时书写的,没有人知道事情会如何结束。

These could be the last days of a regional war or the first days of a world war.” What a snapshot of this night, and a fleeting portrait of the city in a time of war.

这可能是地区战争的最后几天,也可能是世界大战的第一天。”这真是一个夜晚的快照,也是战争时期这座城市转瞬即逝的写照。

They sent her racist messages, spread lies about her, and screamed at school board meetings to get their way.

## A Texas Teen Wanted an Abortion.

Caroline Kitchener | The Washington Post | June 20, 2022 | 4,100 words

If I were a journalism teacher, I would assign this story to my class immediately.

如果我是一名新闻老师,我会立即将这个故事分配给我的班级。

Not only because it is wrenching — and my god, it is — but also because it demonstrates the value of beat reporting, editorial foresight, and covering the ripple effects of major news stories.

不仅因为它令人痛苦——天哪,确实如此——而且因为它展示了节拍报道、社论远见和报道重大新闻报道连锁反应的价值。

Caroline Kitchener writes about abortion for one of the biggest newspapers in the country.

卡罗琳·基奇纳为美国最大的报纸之一撰写有关堕胎的文章。

The so-called “heartbeat bill” in Texas went into effect nine months ago, which means the first women in the state who couldn’t get abortions because of the law are now having babies.

德克萨斯州所谓的“心跳法案”于九个月前生效,这意味着该州第一批因该法律而无法堕胎的女性现在正在生孩子。

Therein lies the seed of a story idea, in the form of a question: What happened to those women?

其中蕴藏着一个故事想法的种子,以一个问题的形式:那些女人发生了什么事?

Kitchener found one of them, a teenager who gave birth to twins several weeks ago, and crafted an intimate narrative that simmers with pathos yet lets the facts speak for themselves.

基奇纳找到了其中的一个,他是一名几周前生下双胞胎的青少年,并精心设计了一个充满悲情但又让事实说话的亲密叙述。

I won’t soon forget the scene in which antiabortion activists hold up the subject of Kitchener’s piece as a political victory — even lighting a candle in her honor — without any knowledge of what their shameful advocacy has meant for her well-being, her sense of self, or her future.

我不会很快忘记这样的场景:反堕胎活动人士将基奇纳的文章主题视为政治胜利,甚至为她点燃了蜡烛,却不知道他们可耻的倡导对她的福祉、她的自我意识或她的未来意味着什么。

## A Plane of Monkeys, a Pandemic, and a Botched Deal: Inside the Science Crisis You’ve Never Heard Of

## 一群猴子、一场流行病和一次拙劣的交易:你从未听说过的科学危机内部

In May 2020, a plane full of monkeys intended for COVID-19 research was supposed to depart Mauritius.

2020 年 5 月,一架满载用于 COVID-19 研究的猴子的飞机原定从毛里求斯起飞。

But it never did.

但它从来没有这样做过。

Who purchased the monkeys?

谁买了猴子?

Where were they supposed to go?

他们应该去哪里?

When Jackie Flynn Mogensen looked into the failed flight, and began to investigate the secretive global trade of research monkeys, she found there was an even bigger story: The U.S. is experiencing a primate shortage, and there aren’t enough monkeys for research across many areas of medicine.

当杰基·弗林·摩根森调查这次失败的飞行并开始调查研究用猴子的秘密全球贸易时,她发现了一个更大的故事:美国正在经历灵长类动物短缺,并且没有足够的猴子用于许多医学领域的研究。

Primate research has led to life-saving discoveries over the decades, but it remains controversial, with no guarantees, despite animal testing guidelines, that animals are treated properly.

几十年来,灵长类动物的研究带来了拯救生命的发现,但仍然存在争议,尽管有动物测试指南,但不能保证动物得到适当的对待。

“But no matter how you or I feel about it,” Mogensen writes, “it’s clear the practice has saved—and is saving—human lives.” This is a fascinating dive into the monkey trade and the players within it, like Matthew Block, who’s been a target of animal rights groups for years and, as you’ll read, is the owner of the company who arranged the flight.

“但无论你我对此有何看法,”摩根森写道,“很明显,这种做法已经拯救了并且正在拯救人类的生命。”这是对猴子贸易及其参与者的一次有趣的深入探讨,比如马修·布洛克(Matthew Block),他多年来一直是动物权利组织的目标,正如你将读到的那样,他是安排航班的公司的所有者。

Mogensen also reports on a few alternatives, like lab-grown organs, but we’re still a long way from a world without animal testing.

My introduction to French writer André Breton was in college, during a course on Luis Buñuel, which opened my eyes wide to surrealist cinema.

我结识法国作家安德烈·布勒东是在大学期间,参加路易斯·布努埃尔的课程,这让我对超现实主义电影大开眼界。

She describes the surreal experience of remotely leading a team in a war zone just 45 kilometers away in Syria, as she performed daily tasks on her laptop — like tallying civilian injuries and deaths in Excel — while holed up in a purple-walled room.

她描述了在距离叙利亚仅 45 公里的战区远程领导一支团队的超现实经历,当时她躲在紫墙房间里,在笔记本电脑上执行日常任务,比如在 Excel 中统计平民伤亡。

“I was far from war, physically,” she writes.

“我的身体远离战争,”她写道。

“But still, it wormed into my consciousness, refusing to be brushed away into the realm of things abstract and distant and therefore ignorable.” Vasudevan beautifully reflects on this time, making thought-provoking insights on surrealist art, secondary trauma, and the surreality of both tragedy and love.

“但它仍然钻进了我的意识,拒绝被带入抽象、遥远、因此可以忽略的事物领域。”瓦苏德万对这一时期进行了精彩的反思,对超现实主义艺术、二次创伤以及悲剧和爱情的超现实性提出了发人深省的见解。

## It Was a Secret Road Map for Breaking the Law to Get an Abortion

## 这是一张违法堕胎的秘密路线图

Before Roe vs. Wade, there was “the List”: a secret document that helped 12,000 people get safe abortions in the 1960s and ’70s.

在罗伊诉韦德案之前,有一份“名单”:一份在 20 世纪 60 年代和 70 年代帮助 12,000 人安全堕胎的秘密文件。

Created by Patricia Maginnis, a former U.S. Army nurse, the List began as an activist project and evolved into a clandestine yet well-organized health care system that spanned multiple countries, notably Mexico, which was viewed as the best, most affordable option at the time.

该名单由前美国陆军护士帕特里夏·马金尼斯 (Patricia Maginnis) 创建,最初是一个激进项目,后来发展成为一个秘密但组织良好的医疗保健系统,覆盖多个国家,尤其是墨西哥,当时被认为是最好、最实惠的选择。

Fagone and Bordas sift through a trove of Maginnis’ documents, including letters from desperate women seeking access to competent providers, and describe what some of these women had to go through to get the vital care they needed.

法戈内和博尔达斯仔细审查了马金尼斯的大量文件,其中包括寻求有能力的医疗服务提供者的绝望妇女的信件,并描述了其中一些妇女为了获得所需的重要护理而必须经历的事情。

“If you don’t know about the past, you cannot learn from the past,” said Karen L., one of the women who got an abortion in 1968 with the help of this underground network.

“如果你不了解过去,你就无法从过去吸取教训,”凯伦·L. (Karen L.) 说,她是 1968 年在这个地下网络的帮助下堕胎的女性之一。

Urban Legend’s CEO, Ory Rinat, who previously worked in the Trump White House, and his colleagues like to talk about trust, authenticity, and empowerment, but as Wofford skillfully shows, there’s no heart to their business model — there’s only a black hole, a moral vacuum.

Urban Legend 的首席执行官 Ory Rinat 曾在特朗普白宫工作过,他和他的同事喜欢谈论信任、真实性和赋权,但正如沃福德巧妙地展示的那样,他们的商业模式没有核心——只有一个黑洞、道德真空。

亚当·罗斯基 (Adam Rawski) 在尝试登顶北美最高峰阿拉斯加麦金利峰时,从高速公路上 1,000 英尺处坠落,这是一个危险的斜坡,比这座山的任何其他部分都夺去了更多的生命。

Incredibly, he survived.

令人难以置信的是,他活了下来。

But as Kelsey Vlamis recounts in this story, there’s much more to that day.

但正如凯尔西·弗拉米斯 (Kelsey Vlamis) 在这个故事中所讲述的那样,那天发生的事情还有很多。

How did Rawski end up climbing with three strangers?

罗斯基最后是如何和三个陌生人一起攀岩的呢?

Why weren’t they roped for protection?

为什么他们没有被绳子拴起来保护?

The physical conditions alone on Denali — the high altitude, the extreme cold, the exhaustion — are a challenge for even the most seasoned mountaineers.

麦金利峰的物理条件——高海拔、极冷、疲惫——即使对经验最丰富的登山者来说也是一个挑战。

But Rawski’s party also included a mix of inexperience and overconfidence, and was plagued by a lack of communication and odd team dynamics.

但罗斯基的团队也缺乏经验和过度自信,并受到缺乏沟通和奇怪的团队动力的困扰。

Inevitably, their expedition was a total recipe for disaster.

不可避免的是,他们的探险彻底酿成了灾难。

I’m not at all into mountain climbing, but Vlamis’ account of this adventure-gone-wrong gripped me ’til the end.

我一点也不喜欢爬山,但弗拉米斯对这次冒险失败的描述一直吸引着我,直到最后。

## Kate Price Remembers Something Terrible

## 凯特·普莱斯想起了一些可怕的事情

Janelle Nanos | The Boston Globe Magazine | July 28, 2022 | 11,329 words

珍妮尔·纳诺斯 |波士顿环球杂志| 2022 年 7 月 28 日 | 11,329 字

I would be remiss if I didn’t start by noting that Janelle Nanos’s story contains graphic details of childhood sexual abuse — some readers may want to proceed with caution, or not at all.

如果我没有在一开始就注意到贾妮尔·纳诺斯的故事包含了童年性虐待的生动细节,那就是我的失职了——有些读者可能想谨慎阅读,或者根本不阅读。

Should you choose to click through, you will find a feat of narrative journalism, as propulsive as it is compassionate.

如果你选择点击,你会发现叙事新闻的壮举,既具有推动力,又富有同情心。

As an adult, Kate Price, an authority on child sex trafficking, began to remember being abused by her father, grandfather, and other men.

成年后,儿童性贩卖方面的权威凯特·普莱斯 (Kate Price) 开始回忆自己曾被父亲、祖父和其他男人虐待的经历。

But no one believed her.

但没有人相信她。

Even she wasn’t sure she could trust her memories.

就连她也不确定自己能否相信自己的记忆。

So, in collaboration with Nanos over roughly a decade, Price went looking for evidence of what her brain told her had happened.

因此,在与 Nanos 合作大约十年的时间里,普莱斯开始寻找她的大脑告诉她发生过的事情的证据。

I won’t reveal what they found; readers should experience it in the context of Nanos’s excellent prose.

我不会透露他们发现了什么;读者应该在纳诺斯优秀散文的背景下体验它。

I’ll just say that the piece took my breath away.

## “We Need to Take Away Children.”

Caitlin Dickerson | The Atlantic | August 8, 2022 | 28,600 words

Go ahead and give Caitlin Dickerson a Pulitzer.

继续给凯特琳·迪克森颁发普利策奖吧。

Her examination of the Trump administration’s family separation policy is a reporting tour de force and an American horror story that should be read and studied as long as the republic stands.

她对特朗普政府家庭分离政策的审视是一篇报道杰作,也是一个美国恐怖故事,只要共和国存在,就应该阅读和研究。

I could only read it in pieces.

我只能断断续续地读它。

One go was too much — my heart couldn’t take it.

一次就太多了——我的心受不了了。

Dickerson shows that some elected officials and bureaucrats acted out of a toxic combination of malice and ambition, while even more did nothing because they were too cowardly or navel-gazing.

迪克森表明,一些民选官员和官僚的行为是出于恶意和野心的有毒结合,而更多的人则因为过于胆怯或目光短浅而无所作为。

She holds them all to account, particularly those with children of their own.

她让他们所有人承担责任,尤其是那些有自己孩子的人。

“‘Can you hold on?

“‘你能坚持住吗?

My daughter is about to get in her car to leave and I need to kiss her goodbye,’ one government official said as she was in the middle of describing a spreadsheet of hundreds of complaints from parents searching for their children,” Dickerson writes.

“我的女儿正要上车离开,我需要与她吻别,”一位政府官员说道,当时她正在描述一份电子表格,其中包含数百份寻找孩子的父母的投诉。”迪克森写道。

## I Smuggled My Laptop Past the Taliban So I Could Write This Story

## 我将我的笔记本电脑走私到塔利班身边,这样我就可以写这个故事

Bushra Seddique | The Atlantic | August 15, 2022 | 4,429 words

布什拉·塞迪克 |大西洋 | 2022 年 8 月 15 日 | 4,429 字

A year ago this week, Kabul fell to the Taliban.

一年前的这个星期,喀布尔落入塔利班之手。

A year ago this week, Bushra Seddique tried to leave.

一年前的这个星期,布什拉·塞迪克试图离开。

At 20 years old, Seddique had never lived under a Taliban government, but as a journalist and a woman, she realized she could not stay.

20 岁时,塞迪克从未在塔利班政府统治下生活过,但作为一名记者和一名女性,她意识到自己无法留下来。

It was an agonizing decision; while a friend helped her and her youngest sister get a place on a flight, her mother and middle sister had to stay behind.

这是一个痛苦的决定;当一位朋友帮助她和她最小的妹妹登机时,她的母亲和二姐不得不留下来。

This essay focuses on a seemingly small thing — the journey to the airport — but conveys so much.

这篇文章关注的是一件看似微不足道的事情——去机场的旅程——但却传达了很多信息。

In an instant, Seddique’s prose pulls you closely into this tight-knit family, leaving you pulsating with the sisters’ turmoil as they reel between emotions.

刹那间,塞迪克的散文将你紧紧地拉进了这个紧密的家庭,让你为姐妹们在情感之间摇摆不定的混乱而脉动。

The joy: when after three days of waiting in fear near the airport, they are sent home and see their family.

喜悦:在机场附近恐惧地等待了三天后,他们被送回家见家人。

The grief: when the airport briefly opens again, forcing them to flee before saying goodbye.

悲伤:机场再次短暂开放,迫使他们在告别前逃离。

The excitement: when they are finally on a plane to a new country.

令人兴奋的是:当他们终于登上飞往新国家的飞机时。

The constant underneath it all is a deep sadness for a home that is disappearing, a place where just a few weeks ago “[p]eople were going out to sing and dance; music played in restaurants and taxis.” I vividly remember the scenes at Kabul airport playing out on the news last year, people clinging to planes, the bomb, the chaos, the filth.

这一切背后始终存在的是对一个正在消失的家园的深深悲伤,就在几周前,这个地方“人们还出去唱歌跳舞;餐馆和出租车里都播放着音乐”。我清楚地记得去年新闻中播出的喀布尔机场的场景,人们紧紧抓住飞机,炸弹,混乱,肮脏。

This essay takes you back — and removes any detachment you may have felt along the way.

这篇文章带你回到过去,并消除你一路上可能感受到的任何疏离感。

This story opens with a single gunshot, blood pooling on the snowy ground, and a missing body.

The victim: a wolf.

受害者:狼。

The shooter: a member of Montana’s backcountry law enforcement.

枪手:蒙大拿州偏远执法部门的成员。

Some people call what happened a ruthless kill; others say it was part of a sanctioned harvest.

Therein lies the central tension of Ryan Devereaux’s deeply reported feature about the wolves of Yellowstone, and how their fate has become tangled with the politics of Montana’s ascendant right wing.

瑞安·德弗罗(Ryan Devereaux)深入报道了黄石公园的狼群,以及它们的命运如何与蒙大拿州崛起的右翼政治纠缠在一起,其中的核心张力就在其中。

Yessenia Funes | Atmos | August 31, 2022 | 3,884 words

叶塞尼娅·富内斯 |大气| 2022 年 8 月 31 日 | 3,884 字

“The border crisis is bad now, but climate change will make it exponentially worse,” writes Yessenia Funes in this compassionate piece for Atmos.

“边境危机现在很严重,但气候变化将使情况呈指数级恶化,”叶塞尼娅·富内斯在 Atmos 的这篇富有同情心的文章中写道。

Extreme heat plays a major role in migrant deaths along the southern border of the U.S. In 2021, the bodies of 225 migrants were recovered from the Arizona desert, and this year, 126 have already been found.

极端高温是美国南部边境移民死亡的主要原因。2021 年,亚利桑那州沙漠中发现了 225 具移民尸体,今年已发现 126 具尸体。

One third of these deaths are due to the harsh, dangerous environment.

其中三分之一的死亡是由于恶劣、危险的环境造成的。

Funes joins a migrant rescue group that combs the desert for people who’ve gotten lost during their journeys.

富内斯加入了一个移民救援组织,该组织在沙漠中寻找在旅途中迷路的人。

Mostly, though, they search for remains: “bodies, bones, and belongings.” While researchers have studied how climate change will influence migration patterns, they haven’t really measured how it will physically and mentally affect an individual — until now.

不过,他们主要寻找遗骸:“尸体、骨头和财物”。虽然研究人员已经研究了气候变化将如何影响迁徙模式,但直到现在他们还没有真正测量过气候变化将如何影响个人的身心。

Funes weaves this data into a very personal and reflective account.

富内斯将这些数据编织成一个非常个人化和反思性的账户。

The photographs by Carlos Jaramillo, especially images of found items like black water jugs and camouflage backpacks scattered across the desert, are haunting.

## Coming Into Focus

Carla Ciccone | Harper’s Bazaar | September 5, 2022 | 3,231 words

卡拉·西科内 |时尚芭莎 | 2022 年 9 月 5 日 | 3,231 字

“Getting diagnosed with ADHD on the cusp of 40 brought my personal history into sharp focus,” writes Carla Ciccone in this personal piece for Harper’s Bazaar.

“在 40 岁之际被诊断出患有多动症,这让我的个人经历成为人们关注的焦点,”Carla Ciccone 在《Harper’s Bazaar》的这篇个人文章中写道。

There’s been a spike in the number of ADHD diagnoses among adult women, especially in the last several years, and Ciccone was one of them.

成年女性中 ADHD 诊断数量激增,尤其是在过去几年中,西科内就是其中之一。

“But women aren’t suddenly waking up with a neurological disorder,” she writes.

“但女性不会突然醒来就患有神经系统疾病,”她写道。

“It’s likely been there all along, masquerading as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, ‘she’s difficult,’ ‘she’s an airhead,’ ‘she’s unlucky,’ ‘she’s lazy,’ and other labels that tend to mark a girl as she moves through her life.” Ciccone describes her own struggles growing up — in school, in relationships, in processing traumatic events — and how her diagnosis at 39 has helped her reframe the way she sees herself, her family, and her past.

“它很可能一直存在,伪装成自卑、抑郁、焦虑、‘她很难相处’、‘她是个傻瓜’、‘她很不幸’、‘她很懒’以及其他标签,这些标签往往会在女孩的一生中打上烙印。”西科内描述了她自己成长过程中的挣扎——在学校、在人际关系中、在处理创伤事件中——以及她 39 岁时的诊断如何帮助她重新构建了她看待自己、家庭和过去的方式。

It’s an honest and illuminating read, especially for those who may see their own experiences reflected in hers.

这是一本诚实而富有启发性的读物,特别是对于那些可能在她的经历中看到自己经历的人来说。

## The Mystery Behind the Crime Wave at 312 Riverside Drive

## 河滨大道 312 号犯罪浪潮背后的谜团

Michael Wilson | The New York Times | September 14, 2022 | 3,229 words

迈克尔·威尔逊 |纽约时报 | 2022 年 9 月 14 日 | 3,229 字

I don’t know what your usual media diet looks like, but there’s a little upstart out of Gotham that’s been serving up some riveting stories lately — and at the front of the pack is this empathetic profile from Michael Wilson.

我不知道你通常的媒体习惯是什么样的,但有一个来自哥谭的小暴发户最近提供了一些引人入胜的故事——最前面的是迈克尔·威尔逊的这篇富有同情心的简介。

Every month, 911 dispatchers in New York City field dozens of calls about crimes in progress at an Upper West Side apartment building.

每个月,纽约市的 911 调度员都会接到数十个有关上西区公寓楼正在发生犯罪事件的电话。

Robberies.

抢劫。

Stabbings.

刺伤。

Self-harm.

自我伤害。

Elder abuse.

虐待老人。

All those calls are from a single man named Walter Reed.

所有这些电话都来自一个名叫沃尔特·里德的人。

The thing is, the hellish edifice he’s calling about doesn’t exist.

问题是,他所说的地狱大厦并不存在。

There is no 312 Riverside Drive.

没有 312 Riverside Drive。

Wilson doesn’t string you along to learn that truth as a twist, though.

不过,威尔逊并没有以扭曲的方式引导你了解这个真相。

Instead, he gets it out there immediately, so that he can spend the rest of the feature explaining what’s driving Walter Reed’s inescapable compulsion, and how the city’s social safety net is unable to get him the lasting help he so clearly needs.

相反,他立即将其发布出来,这样他就可以在专题的其余部分解释是什么推动了沃尔特·里德不可避免的强迫,以及该市的社会安全网如何无法为他提供他如此明显需要的持久帮助。

It’s not a mystery at all; it’s a frustrating tragedy.

这根本不是什么秘密。这是一场令人沮丧的悲剧。

But it’s also a perfect example of the mind-changing, emotionally affecting journalism a newspaper feature can deliver.

但这也是报纸专题所能提供的改变思想、影响情感的新闻的完美例子。

## ‘These Kids Are Dying’ — Inside the Overdose Crisis Sweeping Fort Bragg

## “这些孩子快死了”——席卷布拉格堡的服药过量危机

Seth Harp | Rolling Stone | September 4, 2022 | 5,798 words

塞斯竖琴|滚石 | 2022 年 9 月 4 日 | 5,798 字

One hundred and nine.

一百零九。

That’s the shocking number of soldiers who died in 2020 and 2021 while assigned to Fort Bragg, the U.S. Army’s largest base.

这是 2020 年和 2021 年被派往美国陆军最大基地布拉格堡的士兵死亡人数,数量令人震惊。

In this important investigation, Seth Harp reports on the unprecedented wave of deaths at the military facility: homicides and suicides, and an alarming number of accidental overdoses on fentanyl, with soldiers dying in similarly “quiet” ways — slumped over in their bunks or in parked vehicles.

在这项重要的调查中,塞斯·哈普报道了军事设施中前所未有的死亡浪潮:他杀和自杀,以及数量惊人的芬太尼意外服用过量事件,士兵们以类似的“安静”方式死亡——倒在铺位上或停在停放的车辆中。

But the Army continues to downplay this crisis, sweeping fatalities under the rug: the deaths of soldiers not even made public, their families left wondering what happened.

但陆军继续淡化这场危机,将死亡人数掩盖起来:士兵的死亡甚至没有公开,他们的家人不知道发生了什么。

“Military leaders will deny it and say that morale is high,” writes Harp, “but there is a palpable sense of purposelessness and disillusionment hanging over bases like Fort Bragg,” especially among men who’ve experienced combat and have been deployed to Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq multiple times.

哈普写道:“军事领导人会否认这一点,并说士气很高,但在布拉格堡这样的基地上空笼罩着一种明显的无目的感和幻灭感,”特别是对于那些经历过战斗并多次被部署到阿富汗、叙利亚和伊拉克的人来说。

A heartbreaking and infuriating read about the military justice system, and the lack of support for soldiers.

When an injustice within the so-called justice system separated them, Eric lost not only their companionship but his primary coping mechanism, forcing him to find a new way to protect his mental and physical health during the final five years of his sentence.

当所谓的司法系统中的不公正将他们分开时,埃里克不仅失去了他们的陪伴,还失去了他的主要应对机制,迫使他在服刑的最后五年里寻找一种新的方法来保护自己的身心健康。

In this incisive piece at The Marshall Project (published in partnership with VQR), Borsuk recounts how the justice system’s willful blindness and casual cruelty helped inspire him to write.

在《马歇尔计划》(与 VQR 合作出版)这篇精辟的文章中,博尔苏克讲述了司法系统的故意视而不见和偶然的残酷如何激发了他的写作灵感。

## Dead Man Living

Elizabeth Bruenig | The Atlantic | October 2, 2022 | 4,221 words

伊丽莎白·布鲁尼格 |大西洋 | 2022 年 10 月 2 日 | 4,221 字

When it comes to ensuring humane treatment of those set to die by lethal injection, the Alabama Department of Corrections would like you to keep your seat and remain quiet.

在确保对注射死刑的人进行人道待遇时,阿拉巴马州惩教署希望您保持座位并保持安静。

The signs in the witness room of the Holman Correctional Facility execution chamber say as much.

霍尔曼惩教所行刑室证人室的标志也说明了这一点。

Elizabeth Bruenig, a staff reporter at The Atlantic, has found that department officials are as impervious to important questions about the safety and dignity of the lethal injection process as the witness room’s cinderblock walls.

《大西洋月刊》的记者伊丽莎白·布鲁尼格发现,部门官员对有关注射死刑过程的安全和尊严的重要问题漠不关心,就像证人室的煤渣砖墙一样。

This is a hard but necessary read about the lack of communication and transparency in Alabama’s capital punishment process and the egregious and completely unnecessary harms the state can cause to those condemned and the loved ones who endure the needless suffering of delayed or botched executions.

这是一本艰难但必要的读物,讲述了阿拉巴马州死刑程序中缺乏沟通和透明度,以及该州可能对那些遭受延迟或拙劣处决的死刑犯和亲人造成的令人震惊和完全不必要的伤害。

“Robert Dunham, the executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, an educational nonprofit organization, told me that Alabama’s latest failure to carry out an uncomplicated execution represented an endemic problem.

“非营利教育组织死刑信息中心的执行主任罗伯特·邓纳姆告诉我,阿拉巴马州最近未能执行简单的处决,这是一个普遍存在的问题。

‘This is the third execution in the last five years that Alabama has botched by virtue of their own incompetence in setting IV lines,’ offering Joe Nathan James and Doyle Hamm, who survived a 2018 lethal injection attempt in the state, as the two prior examples.

乔·内森·詹姆斯 (Joe Nathan James) 和多伊尔·哈姆 (Doyle Hamm) 举了前两个例子,他们在 2018 年该州一次注射死刑中幸存下来,“这是阿拉巴马州过去五年内第三次因自己在设置静脉输液管方面无能而搞砸了处决”。

‘Each time, ADOC has denied the obvious and claimed nothing went wrong.

“每一次,ADOC 都否认明显的事实,并声称没有任何问题。

They say they’ve followed their protocol.

他们说他们遵循了他们的协议。

One of these things must be true: Either they’re unreliable, or their protocol is unreliable.

## The Texas County at the Center of a Dangerous Right-Wing Experiment

Readers of this newsletter probably already know that I feel a great deal of despair about the future of America.

本期通讯的读者可能已经知道我对美国的未来感到非常绝望。

Reading this excellent report by Melissa del Bosque did nothing to assuage my despondency.

读了梅丽莎·德尔·博斯克的这篇出色的报告并没有缓解我的沮丧。

Del Bosque travels to a Texas county where officials are more or less invoking war powers to round up, prosecute, humiliate, fine, and in many cases deport people who cross the border.

德尔博斯克前往德克萨斯州的一个县,那里的官员或多或少地援引战争权力来围捕、起诉、羞辱、罚款,在许多情况下还驱逐越境的人。

This isn’t something they’re legally empowered to do, but no matter.

这不是他们在法律上有权做的事情,但没关系。

It’s a devastating, infuriating read, and there are two moments that made my blood run cold.

这是一本毁灭性的、令人愤怒的读物,有两个时刻让我浑身发冷。

The first is when an official says he wants to open “prosecution camps” (read the story to find out exactly what that means).

第一个是当一名官员说他想开设“起诉营”(阅读这个故事以了解确切的含义)。

The second is when armed militia members, eager to help county authorities on their mission, record themselves detaining a frightened migrant so that they can post the video online.

第二个是,武装民兵急于帮助县当局执行任务,录制了自己拘留一名受惊的移民的过程,以便将视频发布到网上。

“At one point,” del Bosque writes, “the Nicaraguan man asks for asylum and apoyo, or help.

“在某一时刻,”德尔博斯克写道,“尼加拉瓜男子请求庇护和阿波约(apoyo)或帮助。

A militia member in an American flag headband responds, ‘Chicken?’ Finally, a Kinney County sheriff’s deputy arrives and takes him away.” The dehumanization, cruelty, ignorance, and performance of that moment is, I fear, a harbinger of our collective future.

一名戴着美国国旗头带的民兵回答道:“鸡肉?”最后,金尼县副警长到达并将他带走。我担心,那一刻的非人化、残忍、无知和表现是我们共同未来的预兆。

## They Were Labeled Witches.

“Do you know any witches?” This is a question that retired pastor Berrie Holtzhausen asks when out searching in Namibia for people with dementia.

“你认识女巫吗?”这是退休牧师 Berrie Holtzhausen 在纳米比亚寻找痴呆症患者时提出的一个问题。

After once caring for a man with advanced Alzheimer’s, Holtzhausen researched all he could about the disease, and then turned to a life of advocating for those with dementia, who are often accused as witches in Namibia’s tribal populations.

在照顾过一名患有晚期阿尔茨海默氏症的男子后,霍尔茨豪森尽其所能地研究了这种疾病,然后转而为那些患有痴呆症的人辩护,这些人在纳米比亚的部落人口中经常被指控为女巫。

“Most Black Namibians,” writes Shara Johnson in this piece from last year, “have been raised in communities where witchcraft is as real and relevant to their world as Jesus is to Christians.” Ndjinaa Ngombe, a Black Namibian of the Himba tribe, is but one example: Her family had her locked in chains for 20 years, until Holtzhausen removed the shackles.

莎拉·约翰逊(Shara Johnson)在去年的这篇文章中写道:“大多数纳米比亚黑人是在巫术与他们的世界一样真实且相关的社区中长大的,就像耶稣与基督徒一样。”恩吉娜·恩贡贝 (Ndjinaa Ngombe) 是辛巴部落的一名纳米比亚黑人,她的家人将她锁在铁链里长达 20 年,直到霍尔茨豪森解除了手铐脚镣。

史黛西·珀曼 (Stacy Perman) 在为《洛杉矶时报》撰写的这篇经过精心研究的文章中发现了这一点,文章通过这位可爱、早熟的童星的照片和电影片段将其栩栩如生地呈现出来。

Beginning with the well-known half of Lora Lee’s life, the story races along at whip-cracking speed, twisting and turning, before culminating in a high-profile custody battle between Lora Lee’s biological and adoptive mother.

故事从洛拉·李 (Lora Lee) 广为人知的一半人生开始,以极快的速度展开,一波三折,最后以洛拉·李 (Lora Lee) 的亲生母亲和养母之间备受瞩目的监护权之争告终。

When Lora Lee leaves Hollywood for Texas, aged 10, things become hazier, forcing Perman to resort to her own research.

当洛拉·李 (Lora Lee) 10 岁时离开好莱坞前往德克萨斯州时,事情变得更加扑朔迷离,迫使珀曼求助于她自己的研究。

By tracking down dozens of individuals and public records, she finds, as she writes, “a woman lost in a maze of short marriages and perpetual misfortunes.” Perman takes Lora Lee’s sad tale back to Wright Isaacs.

正如她所写,通过追踪数十个人和公共记录,她发现“一个女人迷失在短暂婚姻和永久不幸的迷宫中”。珀曼将洛拉·李的悲伤故事带回到赖特·艾萨克斯身上。

It’s not the story she had hoped for, but still closure on what happened to her sister.

这不是她所希望的故事,但仍然是发生在她姐姐身上的事情的结局。

I was impressed by Perman’s dogged determination to find answers for this family — and more impressed that she did.

帕尔曼为这个家庭寻找答案的顽强决心给我留下了深刻的印象——更令我印象深刻的是她的做法。

## I Spent 10 Days in a Secret Chinese Covid Detention Centre*

## 我在中国秘密拘留中心待了 10 天*

Thomas Hale | Financial Times | November 2, 2022 | 3,902 words

托马斯·黑尔 |金融时报| 2022 年 11 月 2 日 | 3,902 字

After visiting a bar in Shanghai where a COVID-19 case is detected, Thomas Hale is whisked away to a close-contact quarantine facility on an island somewhere north of the city — “the kind of place that finds you, rather than the other way around.” Hale stays in a small shipping container-like cabin with an iron bed and other basics.

托马斯·黑尔 (Thomas Hale) 参观了上海一家检测出新冠病毒 (COVID-19) 病例的酒吧后,被迅速送往位于该市北部某个岛屿上的一个密切接触隔离设施——“是那种能找到你的地方,而不是相反。”黑尔住在一个类似集装箱的小木屋里,里面有一张铁床和其他基本设施。

(Interestingly, the internet connection is 24 times faster than at his hotel.) Although he never tests positive, he remains there for 10 days, and keeps to a routine that includes language study, work, exercise, online chess, and streaming TV.

(有趣的是,互联网连接速度比他住的酒店快 24 倍。)尽管他的检测结果从未呈阳性,但他在那里待了 10 天,并保持日常生活,包括语言学习、工作、锻炼、在线国际象棋和流媒体电视。

When he’s able to open his door or wander around, he has conversations with workers and other “residents,” which are captured in the piece as unexpected moments of human connection in an otherwise eerie place.

当他能够打开门或四处闲逛时,他会与工人和其他“居民”进行对话,这些对话在作品中被捕捉到,在一个原本令人毛骨悚然的地方,人们之间发生了意想不到的联系。

Hale offers a chilling look into China’s zero-COVID approach, which uses constant testing, contact tracing, quarantines, and lockdowns to stop community transmission.

黑尔对中国的零新冠病毒方法进行了令人不寒而栗的审视,该方法使用不断的检测、接触者追踪、隔离和封锁来阻止社区传播。

This particular facility, “P7,” is one among many, and just a glimpse into a vast monitoring system, workforce, and way of life that most of us outside of China cannot fathom.

这个特殊的设施“P7”只是众多设施之一,它只是我们大多数中国以外的人无法理解的庞大监控系统、劳动力和生活方式的一瞥。

In recent years, we’ve witnessed the blossoming of a subgenre of longform writing that I’ll call the nature thriller.

近年来,我们见证了一种长篇写作的蓬勃发展,我将其称为自然惊悚片。

It’s born of necessity, by which I mean the collision of an ever-expanding human population — we hit 8 billion souls just this week — and a changing, temperamental climate.

它的诞生是必然的,我指的是不断扩大的人口——就在本周我们就袭击了 80 亿人——和不断变化的、喜怒无常的气候的碰撞。

Natural disasters are on the rise, and with them come harrowing stories of jaw-dropping devastation and remarkable survival.

自然灾害不断增加,随之而来的是令人瞠目结舌的破坏和令人惊叹的生存的悲惨故事。

In the right hands, these stories are propulsive without feeling glib, emotional but not exploitative.

在正确的人手中,这些故事具有推动力,但不会让人觉得油嘴滑舌,情感丰富,但不具有剥削性。

MacKinnon is a master of the nature thriller, deftly weaving plot with science.

麦金农是自然惊悚片的大师,巧妙地将情节与科学编织在一起。

In this multi-chapter feature about the worst flood British Columbia has ever seen, MacKinnon had me on the edge of my seat reading about storm patterns, pressure systems, and infrastructure — yes, infrastructure.

在这部关于不列颠哥伦比亚省有史以来最严重洪水的多章节专题报道中,麦金农让我在座位边缘阅读有关风暴模式、压力系统和基础设施的内容——是的,基础设施。

I learned from this story as much as I enjoyed it.

我从这个故事中学到了很多东西,就像我喜欢它一样。

(Sidenote: I had the pleasure of helping shepherd another MacKinnon feature, “True Grit,” to publication at The Atavist this month.

(旁注:我很高兴帮助指导麦金农的另一部专题片《大地惊雷》本月在返祖派出版。

It too qualifies as a nature thriller.) —SD

它也符合自然惊悚片的资格。)——SD

## What Happened to Rezwan

## 雷兹万发生了什么

Kartikay Mehrotra, Matti Gellman | ProPublica, The Kansas City Star | November 19, 2022 | 5,098 words

卡蒂凯·梅赫罗特拉、马蒂·格尔曼 | ProPublica,堪萨斯城之星 | 2022 年 11 月 19 日 | 5,098 字

At the Statue of Liberty, the final line of Emma Lazarus’ poem “The New Colossus” reads: “Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” There’s no question that the Biden administration had the best intentions in evacuating Afghan allies out of the country in August 2021 when the United States turned its back on the country, 20 years into a failed war.

在自由女神像前,艾玛·拉扎勒斯的诗《新巨像》的最后一行写道:“把这些无家可归的、暴风雨般的人送到我身边,我在金门旁举起我的灯!”毫无疑问,拜登政府在 2021 年 8 月将阿富汗盟友撤离出境是出于好意,当时美国在一场失败的战争 20 年后背弃了阿富汗。

But some of the tempest-tost of Afghanistan have found small (if any) welcome in rural America, where there is little experience in helping newcomers and immigrants to become happy, productive members of the community.

但阿富汗的一些暴风雨居民在美国农村却不太受欢迎(如果有的话),那里在帮助新移民和移民成为社区快乐、富有成效的成员方面几乎没有经验。

In this nuanced piece jointly published by ProPublica and The Kansas City Star, reporters Kartikay Mehrotra and Matti Gellman try to unravel the bureaucratic inadequacies that failed the Kohistani family — and may have caused 14-year-old Rezwan Kohistani to take his own life.

在 ProPublica 和《堪萨斯城星报》联合发表的这篇细致入微的文章中,记者 Kartikay Mehrotra 和 Matti Gellman 试图揭开令科希斯塔尼家族失望的官僚主义缺陷,并可能导致 14 岁的雷兹万·科希斯塔尼自杀。

## Drugs Killed 8 Friends, One by One, in a Tragedy Seen Across the U.S.*

## 在美国各地发生的一场悲剧中,毒品一一杀死了 8 位朋友*

Lenny Bernstein and Jordan-Marie Smith | The Washington Post | December 2, 2022 | 3,289 words

莱尼·伯恩斯坦和乔丹·玛丽·史密斯 |华盛顿邮报 | 2022 年 12 月 2 日 | 3,289 字

This story is about my hometown.

这个故事是关于我的家乡的。

It could be about yours, too.

这也可能与你有关。

Not because an outsize percentage of readers are from Greenville, North Carolina, a small, unremarkable city situated in the flat plains of what was once tobacco-growing country.

并不是因为很大比例的读者来自北卡罗来纳州格林维尔,这是一个不起眼的小城市,位于曾经的烟草种植国的平原上。

It could be about where you’re from because stories like this are ubiquitous: stories of opioid overdoses depleting families and friend groups; of beloved mentors like Joe Hughes, my middle school history teacher, quoted in this piece, who has spoken at the funerals of three of his former students and attended five others; of natives like reporter Jordan-Marie Smith, who on trips home heard that a person she grew up, then another, then another had died.

这可能是关于你来自哪里,因为这样的故事无处不在:阿片类药物过量服用导致家人和朋友团体耗尽的故事;这篇文章中引用了我的中学历史老师乔·休斯(Joe Hughes)等受人爱戴的导师,他曾在他以前的三名学生的葬礼上发表讲话,并参加了另外五名学生的葬礼;像记者乔丹·玛丽·史密斯这样的当地人,他在回家的路上听说她长大的一个人,然后另一个人,然后另一个人死了。

Smith is younger than I, as are many of the dead in this story.

史密斯比我年轻,这个故事中的许多死者也比我年轻。

But just two weeks before it was published, over drinks, I asked a childhood friend if I was crazy in thinking that a lot of people who were in our year in school had died of suspected or confirmed overdoses.

但就在该书出版前两周,我一边喝着酒,一边问一位儿时的朋友,我认为我们同年级的很多人都死于疑似或确诊的服药过量,这种想法是否疯狂。

I could think of three off the top of my head; she added a fourth to the list.

我能立即想到三个;她在清单上添加了第四个。

This is their story, too.

这也是他们的故事。

## The Safest Place

## 最安全的地方

Noelle Crombie | The Oregonian | December 11, 2022 | 3,274 words

诺埃尔·克龙比 |俄勒冈人 | 2022 年 12 月 11 日 | 3,274 字

If you need a reminder of why we need strong local newsrooms, look no further than this powerful project.

如果您需要提醒我们为什么需要强大的本地新闻编辑室,那么这个强大的项目就是您的最佳选择。

Reporter Noelle Crombie spent a year at Rosemary Anderson, an alternative high school in Rockwood, a neighborhood in Gresham, Oregon, buffeted by racism, poverty, and COVID-19.

记者诺埃尔·克龙比 (Noelle Crombie) 在罗斯玛丽·安德森 (Rosemary Anderson) 度过了一年,这是一所位于俄勒冈州格雷舍姆 (Gresham) 社区罗克伍德 (Rockwood) 的另类高中,饱受种族主义、贫困和新冠病毒 (COVID-19) 的打击。

Her goal: to document the impact of skyrocketing gun violence on the students, teachers, and support staff.

她的目标是:记录枪支暴力激增对学生、教师和支持人员的影响。

The result is a four-part series, of which this article, about the death of student Dante McFallo, is the first entry.

结果是一个由四部分组成的系列,其中这篇关于学生但丁·麦克法洛之死的文章是第一篇。

“Five students, including Dante, have died in shootings in the past 2½ years,” Crombie writes.

“过去 2.5 年里,包括但丁在内的五名学生在枪击事件中丧生,”克龙比写道。

“Another student died in a stabbing and two died in car wrecks.

“另一名学生死于刺伤,两人死于车祸。

All were young men of color, just 18 or 19.

他们都是有色人种的年轻人,只有 18 或 19 岁。

Gunfire wounded at least two other Rosemary Anderson students; both survived.” Make sure to spend time with the photos and videos that accompany the story.

枪击导致至少另外两名罗斯玛丽·安德森学生受伤;两人都活了下来。”请务必花时间阅读故事附带的照片和视频。
