Prologue: Prologue Ira Glass It's one thing to go through something so horrible that you think you're gonna die.
序言：序言 Ira Glass 经历如此可怕的事情以至于你认为自己会死是一回事。
And it's another to go through something so horrible you think you're going to die, and it's exactly what you always expected.
经历如此可怕的事情以至于你认为你会死是另一回事，而这正是你一直期望的。
I've always been scared of flying.
我一直害怕坐飞机。
I have several different scenarios in my head that I imagine.
我的脑海里浮现出几种不同的场景。
Some involve collisions with other planes.
有些涉及与其他飞机的碰撞。
The plane stalling and plummeting.
飞机失速并垂直下降。
You know, just precipitous nosedives.
你知道，只是急剧下降。
Alexandra Jacobs was on that Jet Blue flight a couple weeks ago.
几周前，亚历山德拉·雅各布斯乘坐了捷蓝航空的航班。
The one where the landing gear turned perpindicular, and they made an emergency landing on live national television.
起落架转向垂直，他们在国家电视直播中紧急着陆。
She was six and a half months pregnant, taking one last trip to the East Coast from LA before the baby be born.
她当时已怀孕六个半月，在孩子出生前最后一次从洛杉矶前往东海岸。
I'm usually most scared on take off, and then once there's a little ding ding and it's now safe to use portable electronic devices, I'm pretty much fine for the duration of the trip.
我通常在起飞时最害怕，然后一旦发出一点叮叮声并且现在可以安全地使用便携式电子设备，我在整个旅行期间就感觉很好。
This time, that comforting ding ding did not occur, and we just weren't ascending at the normal rate.
这一次，令人欣慰的叮叮声没有出现，我们只是没有以正常的速度上升。
And the pilot got on.
飞行员上了飞机。
And he said, "Well, folks." And you know, I have this joke that whenever a pilot says "folks," it's never good news.
他说：“好吧，伙计们。”你知道，我有一个笑话，每当飞行员说“伙计们”时，这都不是好消息。
The pilot tells everybody that he's getting a signal that the landing gear won't retract.
飞行员告诉大家，他收到了起落架无法收回的信号。
And really it might just be that the signal is screwed up.
事实上，这可能只是信号被搞砸了。
The landing gear may have retracted just fine.
起落架可能已经收回得很好。
Technicians on the ground are using fancy satellite communications gear to check the plane's systems, which Alexandra found reassuring.
地面技术人员正在使用先进的卫星通信设备来检查飞机的系统，亚历山德拉对此感到放心。
It all sounded routine.
这一切听起来都很平常。
Sounded high-tech.
听起来高科技。
But then he said that we were going to do a low flyby, and that people on the ground were going to inspect the underbelly of our plane with binoculars to see what was wrong with the landing gear.
但后来他说我们要低空飞越，地面人员要用双筒望远镜检查我们飞机的底部，看看起落架出了什么问题。
And I thought, my God.
我想，天哪。
Like that's how they're going to, you know, check out the safety of the plane?
就像他们要这样检查飞机的安全性？
With binoculars?
用双筒望远镜？
Like the ones my husband uses for birdwatching?
就像我丈夫用来观鸟的那些一样？
You know, it just didn't seem-- it seemed very retro, you know, to have someone peering at our plane.
你知道，有人盯着我们的飞机看，这似乎很复古。
I don't think people began to sort of panic and cry and get upset until the words "emergency landing" were bandied about.
我认为直到“紧急着陆”这个词被广泛传播之前，人们才开始感到恐慌、哭泣和不安。
We have run all the relevant checklists and are confident that we know exactly what the issue is, as well as the issues to be dealt with.
我们已经运行了所有相关检查表，并确信我们确切地知道问题是什么以及要处理的问题。
This is sound from a video camera that a passenger pulled out once it became clear that something unusual was happening on the flight.
这是一名乘客在发现航班上发生异常情况后取出摄像机发出的声音。
At this point, what I'm doing is burning off additional fuel.
此时，我正在做的就是燃烧掉额外的燃料。
And almost simultaneously, or very close to that announcement, I looked a couple of rows in front of me, and saw that someone's television had imagery of a plane circling in a blue sky.
几乎同时，或者说在宣布这一消息的同时，我看着前方几排，看到有人的电视上有一架飞机在蓝天上盘旋的图像。
And I heard someone say, that's our plane.
我听到有人说，那是我们的飞机。
We're on MSNBC.
我们在 MSNBC。
Good evening, everyone.
大家晚上好。
I'm Colette Cassidy.
我是科莱特·卡西迪。
We are breaking in to Hardball with this live picture of a JetBlue airplane, that is flight 292--
我们用这张捷蓝航空飞机的实时照片来打入硬球，这架飞机是 292 航班——
As you may have heard from the coverage of this story, JetBlue planes have satellite receivers, so each seat on a plane gets live DIRECTV on a little screen.
正如您可能从这个故事的报道中听说的那样，捷蓝航空的飞机配有卫星接收器，因此飞机上的每个座位都可以在小屏幕上观看直播 DIRECTV。
I've been told by both the company as well as our in-flight crew that apparently we've made the news.
公司和机组人员都告诉我，我们显然已经成为新闻了。
I'm sorry about that.
对此我很抱歉。
I apologize for any apprehension that this has caused to you.
对于由此给您带来的任何担忧，我深表歉意。
I want to assure you--
我想向你保证——
I mean, I think that ratcheted up the level of alarm, because it wasn't local news.
我的意思是，我认为这加剧了恐慌，因为这不是当地新闻。
It was national news.
这是全国新闻。
It was in the same text zipper as Hurricane Rita.
它与飓风丽塔采用相同的拉链文字。
It was on multiple channels.
它在多个频道上播出。
People were flipping around and they're like, oh my God, it's on FOX, it's on ABC.
人们翻来覆去，他们说，天哪，这是在福克斯电视台，是在美国广播公司。
You know, and we're all familiar with these national events that take over your television, where you flip from channel to channel and it's the same image.
你知道，我们都熟悉这些占据电视的全国性事件，你从一个频道切换到另一个频道，看到的都是相同的图像。
Right.
正确的。
You are in the white Bronco, all of a sudden.
突然之间，你就开进了那辆白色野马车。
For years, Alexandra has been having these conversations with her husband and his brother and his dad-- the brother and dad were actually Navy pilots-- about whether flying was safe.
多年来，亚历山德拉一直与她的丈夫、他的兄弟和他的父亲（兄弟和父亲实际上都是海军飞行员）讨论飞行是否安全。
Alexandra, of course, said that it was not.
亚历山德拉当然说不是。
And the thought went through her head right now that well, if we crash, at least I win that argument.
现在她脑子里闪过这样的想法：如果我们崩溃了，至少我赢了这场争论。
I always knew I was going to perish in a plane crash, and you know, it's just coming true.
我一直都知道我会在飞机失事中丧生，你知道，这一切即将成为现实。
Here it is.
这里是。
Well, today on our radio program, stories of people who thought they were goners, and what they say once it's clear that they're back from the dead.
好吧，今天在我们的广播节目中，讲述了那些认为自己已经死了的人的故事，以及他们在死里复活后所说的话。
From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Life.
来自芝加哥 WBEZ 的《This American Life》。
I'm Ira Glass.
我是艾拉·格拉斯。
Our program in three acts today.
我们今天的节目分三幕。
In the first act, we hear from more passengers from JetBlue flight 292 about what it's actually like to be on a plane that you think might be doomed.
在第一幕中，我们从捷蓝航空 292 号航班的更多乘客那里听到了关于乘坐一架你认为可能注定要失败的飞机的实际感受。
Act Two, ""P' is for Port-A-Potty" in which you visit a town that might not actually recover after Hurricane Katrina.
第二幕，“P 代表 Port-A-Potty”，您将访问一个在卡特里娜飓风之后可能无法真正恢复的城镇。
Act Three.
第三幕。
"Friday Night Floodlights." A story of a town that is actually near that town in Act Two, which doesn't have a high school up and running yet, but all kinds of people have turned their lives upside down to restart high school football.
“周五晚上泛光灯。”故事讲述了第二幕中那个小镇附近的一个小镇的故事，那里还没有建立并运行高中，但各种各样的人已经彻底改变了他们的生活，以重新开始高中橄榄球。
Stay with us.
留在我们身边。
So in addition to Alexandra Jacobs, I talked to two other passengers from that JetBlue flight.
因此，除了亚历山德拉·雅各布斯之外，我还与捷蓝航空航班上的另外两名乘客进行了交谈。
We basically had three hours total of flying in circles.
我们基本上一共飞行了三个小时。
Zach Mastoon was sitting in the very back of the plane.
扎克·马斯顿坐在飞机的最后面。
It was terrifying.
太可怕了。
I quickly asked the stewardess for a drink.
我连忙向空姐要了一杯饮料。
It never happened.
它从未发生过。
I never got the drink.
我从来没有喝过酒。
They didn't do any service.
他们没有做任何服务。
There was just too much going on.
发生的事情太多了。
And I was seated next to this really nice guy.
我坐在这个非常好的人旁边。
He's in real estate.
他是做房地产的。
His name was AJ.
他的名字叫 AJ。
He was really my angel.
他真的是我的天使。
And he offered me this large bottle of what looked like seltzer, and he said, hey, you can have a swig of this.
他给了我一大瓶看起来像苏打水的东西，他说，嘿，你可以喝一口。
It's leaded.
它是含铅的。
So I started drinking this really strong vodka tonic.
所以我开始喝这种非常浓的伏特加补品。
And it was brilliant.
这真是太棒了。
It really took the edge off, and allowed me to look at the situation in a much more accepting way?
它真的减轻了我的压力，让我能够以一种更容易接受的方式看待这种情况？
If I hadn't had something to drink-- I know that sounds sort of pathetic, but worrying, and you know, freaking out, watching the news and hearing commentators tell me that I could die in a ball of fire wasn't, you know, what I wanted to do.
如果我没有喝点东西——我知道这听起来有点可悲，但令人担忧，你知道，吓坏了，看新闻，听到评论员告诉我，我可能会死在火球中，你知道，我不想做的。
So I flipped on Comedy Central.
所以我转向了喜剧中心。
Started watching The Daily Show .
开始看《每日秀》。
People were up and about more than I would have thought they would be.
人们的起床和活动比我想象的要多。
Just getting their stuff, or going to the bathroom, or you know, whatever.
只是去拿他们的东西，或者去洗手间，或者你知道，无论什么。
Dave Reinitz is the guy who was shooting videotape on the flight, sitting in seat 18D.
Dave Reinitz 是坐在 18D 座位上在航班上拍摄录像的人。
Yeah, people were-- there was some talking.
是的，人们——有一些谈话。
But people, I think, were very in their own heads, and very-- trying to get their emotions in check for what was happening.
但我认为，人们非常在意自己的想法，并且非常努力控制自己的情绪，以了解正在发生的事情。
Nobody was making a spectacle out of themselves, and no one was really, like, just going bananas.
没有人在大放异彩，也没有人真的发疯了。
It was very tense.
气氛非常紧张。
I mean, everyone was dealing with it in his or her individual style.
我的意思是，每个人都以自己的个人风格处理这个问题。
You had the weepers.
你有哭泣者。
You know, it was later reported that grown men were crying, but I didn't observe any.
你知道，后来有报道称成年男子在哭泣，但我没有观察到。
I just saw a couple of women were crying.
我刚才看到几个女人在哭。
You had the stoics.
你有斯多葛派的性格。
And they were just sort of acting like-- just, you know, inside themselves.
他们只是表现得像——你知道，就在他们自己的内心。
They weren't really expressing anything.
他们并没有真正表达什么。
And then you had these sort of chirpy, road warrior types who were laughing and joking, telling their harrowing experiences in previous flights.
然后你就会看到这些活泼的公路战士，他们有说有笑，讲述着他们在之前飞行中的悲惨经历。
There was a real camaraderie among the passengers, and everybody was really understanding, and just sort of humbled.
乘客之间充满了真正的友情，每个人都非常理解，而且有点谦卑。
And in fact, before we were landing, they moved a lot of the passengers to the back of the plane, and this woman was seated in between AJ and me--
事实上，在我们着陆之前，他们把很多乘客转移到了飞机后部，而这个女人就坐在 AJ 和我之间——
Yeah, possibly.
是的，有可能。
They did it, anyway, and they moved some of the luggage back.
不管怎样，他们还是这么做了，并且把一些行李搬了回来。
And this woman was seated between AJ and me, and she started showing us pictures of this wedding that she had just attended.
这位女士坐在 AJ 和我之间，她开始向我们展示她刚刚参加的这场婚礼的照片。
And it was this really intimate moment that would have never-- she would have never showed the photos to anybody.
这是这个非常亲密的时刻，她永远不会把这些照片给任何人看。
The strangest thing about the videotape of the flight is how normal everything looks.
飞行录像中最奇怪的是一切看起来都很正常。
There is one long close-up shot of two hands.
有一张两只手的长特写镜头。
An older couple, across the aisle from Dave.
一对年长的夫妇，在戴夫的过道对面。
And he filmed their hands, squeezing.
他拍摄了他们的手，挤压。
The woman rubbing her thumb over the back of her husband's hand for a long time.
女人用拇指在丈夫的手背上摩擦了很长时间。
You know, I was carrying some extra tension that day, because I'd had a big argument with my girlfriend.
你知道，那天我心情特别紧张，因为我和女朋友吵了一架。
We'd left on very tense terms.
我们离开时气氛非常紧张。
So you're on the plane thinking about the fact that you just had this huge fight.
所以你在飞机上思考着你们刚刚经历了这场激烈的争吵的事实。
I'm thinking about the fact that she could be at home watching this, knowing that we'd had some harsh words before I left, and how difficult that would be for her if anything happened to me.
我在想，她可能在家里看着这一切，知道我离开之前我们说了一些严厉的话，如果我出了什么事，这对她来说会有多困难。
So I took a few minutes, and you know, first I said to the guy next to me, listen, I'm going to say some things.
所以我花了几分钟，你知道，首先我对旁边的人说，听着，我要说一些事情。
And then I turned the camera on myself, and I said some things to Barbara.
然后我把镜头转向自己，并对芭芭拉说了一些话。
Hey Barb, it's me.
嘿，巴布，是我。
I'm watching the plane on the TV.
我正在电视上看飞机起飞。
We're having landing gear problems.
我们遇到了起落架问题。
We're going to crash land, or emergency land-- crash is a bad word-- in LAX.

Just thought I'd leave you a message, just in case.
只是想给你留个口信，以防万一。
I love you.
我爱你。
Everything is going to be groovy.
一切都会变得很美妙。
And we'll have a good laugh when I show you this video, and you see what a goober I am.
当我给你看这段视频时，我们会开怀大笑，你会发现我是多么的傻瓜。
But if anything happens, you know, take care of everything.
但如果发生任何事情，你知道，照顾好一切。
Everything's yours.
一切都是你的。
You know?
你知道吗？
You know, my family was great.
你知道，我的家庭很棒。
They were making big fun of me about that.
他们为此取笑我。
Oh, you left her everything?
哦，你把一切都留给了她？
Oh, the '91 Toyota and the credit card bills, everything, huh?
哦，91 年的丰田车和信用卡账单，一切，是吧？
Yeah.
是的。
There's been a bunch of press attention to the fact that there were people writing goodbye notes and things like that.
人们写下了告别信之类的事实，这一事实引起了很多媒体的关注。
Did you see people doing that?
你见过人们这样做吗？
I did not.
我没有。
And really, if we all burned up, those notes would have been incinerated, anyway.
事实上，如果我们都被烧毁了，那么这些笔记无论如何都会被烧毁。
Yeah.
是的。
Alexandra Jacobs The guy two seats to the right of me-- he was this calm suit.
亚历山德拉·雅各布斯（Alexandra Jacobs） 坐在我右边两个座位的那个人——他穿着一身平静的衣服。
Once he told me that an expert-- an aviation expert on the ground that had been summoned by one of the studios, had said that it would probably be OK, and that it might be messy, but that it wouldn't be catastrophic, that was probably the most reassuring bit of information I got during the entire ordeal.
有一次他告诉我，一位专家——一位由其中一个工作室召集的地面航空专家，说这可能会没事，而且可能会很混乱，但不会是灾难性的，这可能是我在整个磨难期间得到的最令人放心的信息。
So the TV actually turned out to be sort of comforting.
所以事实证明电视确实有点令人安慰。
Yeah.
是的。
After the initial shock of seeing it.
在最初看到它的震惊之后。
Yeah.
是的。
I was glad to have it.
我很高兴拥有它。
Wow.
哇。
So in sum, actually, if you had a choice, you'd rather have had the TV?
所以总而言之，实际上，如果你有选择的话，你宁愿选择电视？
Yeah.
是的。
Well, no, I have to qualify that.
好吧，不，我必须证明这一点。
I would rather have never seen it on TV, but given the fact that the TV was there, it turned out to be more reassuring.
我宁愿从未在电视上看过它，但考虑到电视就在那里，事实证明它更令人放心。
One of the commentators said, well, I can't imagine that the people are all watching TV.
一位评论员说，好吧，我无法想象人们都在看电视。
You know, JetBlue has television.
你知道，捷蓝航空有电视。
I'm sure they're all getting ready to brace themselves and learning about the emergency procedure.
我确信他们都做好了准备并了解紧急程序。
And at that point, the whole cabin kind of erupted in laughter.
就在这时，整个机舱里爆发出一阵笑声。
I guess a lot of people were watching the same channel.
我猜很多人都在看同一个频道。
So during this two hours after you find out you're going to make an emergency landing, Alexandra, as somebody like you, who actually has to stop herself from picturing the different ways your plane can go down, are you actually picturing it, now that you're in a situation where--?
因此，在你发现自己将要紧急着陆后的两个小时内，亚历山德拉，作为像你这样的人，实际上必须阻止自己想象飞机坠落的不同方式，你真的在想象它吗，现在你处于这样的情况——？
No, I wasn't-- I mean, I was, in a strange way, growing calmer and calmer and more and more rational.
不，我不是——我的意思是，我以一种奇怪的方式变得越来越平静，越来越理性。
You know, I'd been in this fatalistic mode of yup, I'm going to die in a plane crash, just as I always thought.
你知道，我一直处于这种宿命论模式，是的，我会死于飞机失事，就像我一直想的那样。
But then as the emergency landing became more and more real, I thought, the pilot doesn't want to die.
但随着紧急着陆变得越来越真实，我想，飞行员不想死。
Nobody on the ground wants us to die.
地面上没有人希望我们死。
Everybody is doing their absolute best.
每个人都在竭尽全力。
You know, I'm really well-positioned.
你知道，我的处境确实很好。
I'm in a seat behind the exit row.
我坐在出口排后面的座位上。
And I'm just going to be one of the first people out.
我将成为第一批出去的人之一。
I'm going to run straight into my husband's arms.
我要直接跑进我丈夫的怀里。
I have a really good chance of surviving.
我真的有很好的生存机会。
And before the actual landing, like, as you're coming in for that final descent, did you think then, oh, I guess I could die now?
在实际着陆之前，就像，当你即将进行最后的下降时，你当时是否认为，哦，我想我现在可能会死？
No. I no longer believed that it would happen.
不，我不再相信它会发生。
I no longer believed that we would crash and die.
我不再相信我们会坠毁并死亡。
Why?
为什么？
Zach Mastoon There had been so much of a buffer of time and thinking about it, and everyone saying it's going to be OK, that when it actually happened, I was no longer afraid.
扎克·马斯顿：有这么多的缓冲时间和思考，每个人都说一切都会好起来的，当它真正发生时，我不再害怕。
It's almost like you got bored with being afraid.
就好像你对害怕感到厌倦了。
The pilot told us that we were beginning our final descent, and I think he even said, "Flight attendants, prepare for arrival."
飞行员告诉我们，我们正在开始最后的下降，我想他甚至说：“空乘人员，准备抵达。”
Wait, you laugh as you say that, because--?
等等，你一边说一边笑，因为——？
Well, because it's such a mundane announcement.
好吧，因为这是一个平凡的公告。
I mean, that's what they say on every normal flight.
我的意思是，他们在每次正常飞行时都会这么说。
So I can't remember whether it was the pilot or the flight attendants, but we were told that we were going to hear an automated announcement.
所以我不记得是飞行员还是空乘人员，但我们被告知我们将听到自动广播。
And as we came in for our landing, a mechanized voice came over the loudspeaker and said "Brace!
当我们准备着陆时，扩音器里传来一个机械化的声音说：“准备好！
Brace!" That was very scary, because that's when you were in the reality of, oh my God it's an emergency landing, it's a real emergency landing.
撑住！”这非常可怕，因为那时你就处于现实中，天哪，这是一次紧急着陆，这是一次真正的紧急着陆。
A warning signal has taken over.
警告信号已经发出。
Because whenever-- I don't know about you, but I've read black box recordings.
因为无论何时——我不了解你，但我读过黑匣子录音。
And you read in the black box recordings transcripts about the various signals of the plane that take over.
你可以在黑匣子里读到接管飞机的各种信号的记录。
Brace!
支撑！
Brace!
支撑！
Brace!
支撑！
Alexandra Jacobs And then what was absolutely remarkable to me was that the flight attendants continued to repeat this mantra of "Brace!
亚历山德拉·雅各布斯 然后对我来说绝对值得注意的是空乘人员继续重复这句口头禅“撑住！
Brace!"
撑住！”
And I kept waiting for it.
我一直在等待。
I kept waiting for the thing to snap.
我一直在等待那东西破裂。
I kept waiting for a big hit.
我一直在等待一个大打击。
You can actually hear me on the tape saying, "Come on!
你实际上可以在磁带上听到我说：“来吧！
That's it?
就是这样？
That's all you've got?"
这就是你的全部了？”
Gently the nose just got let down.
轻轻地，鼻子就下来了。
We smelled some smoke and a little bit of the burning rubber.
我们闻到了一些烟味和一点橡胶燃烧的味道。
And a voice inside my head said, it's OK.
我脑子里有个声音说，没关系。
You're smelling burning rubber because the tire is burning off, and you know, that's what it is.
你闻到橡胶燃烧的味道是因为轮胎正在燃烧，你知道，就是这样。
It was so incredibly smooth, it was almost anticlimactic.
它是如此的令人难以置信的顺利，几乎是虎头蛇尾。
Dave Reinitz, Zach Mastoon, and Alexandra Jacobs, passengers in JetBlue flight 292.
Dave Reinitz、Zach Mastoon 和 Alexandra Jacobs，捷蓝航空 292 号航班的乘客。
[MUSIC - "YOU ARE AN AIRPLANE" BY OF MONTREAL]
[音乐 - 蒙特利尔的“你是一架飞机”]
Act Two.
第二幕。
"'P' is for Porta-Potty."
“‘P’代表便携式便盆。”
Since Hurricane Katrina, lots of towns are trying to come back from nothing.
自卡特里娜飓风以来，许多城镇都在努力从一无所有中恢复过来。
New Orleans has gotten so much attention, but there are dozens of tiny New Orleanses all along the Gulf Coast, towns actually harder hit by the storm than New Orleans.
新奥尔良受到了如此多的关注，但墨西哥湾沿岸有数十个新奥尔良小城镇，这些城镇实际上比新奥尔良受到风暴的打击更严重。
One of them, a town called Pearlington in Mississippi, is just over the Louisiana border.
其中之一是密西西比州皮尔灵顿镇，位于路易斯安那州边境。
It's about 10 miles inland and 45 miles from New Orleans.
距内陆约 10 英里，距新奥尔良 45 英里。
About 1,600 people live there.
大约有 1,600 人住在那里。
Or did, anyway.
无论如何，或者确实如此。
The county that it's in, Hancock County, is the Ground Zero of Hurricane Katrina, in terms of devastation.
从破坏程度来看，它所在的汉考克县是卡特里娜飓风的归零地。
Around Pearlington, the estimated death toll is 80 to 90 people.
皮灵顿周边地区估计死亡人数为 80 至 90 人。
One of our show's producers, Sarah Koenig, visited to see how they're doing.
我们节目的制作人之一莎拉·科尼格 (Sarah Koenig) 前来参观，了解他们的进展情况。
It's hard to overstate how small and isolated Pearlington was.
皮灵顿是多么小和孤立，怎么形容都不为过。
Most people didn't have computers at home, never mind internet.
大多数人家里没有电脑，更不用说互联网了。
And the only copy machine in town was at the elementary school, which doubled as the public library.
镇上唯一的复印机位于小学，同时也是公共图书馆。
And some of the school kids had never been outside the town.
有些学童从未出过城。
When the first graders made a book about Pearlington called The ABCs of Pearlington.
当一年级学生制作一本关于皮尔灵顿的书时，书名为《皮尔灵顿的ABC》。
"I" wasn't, say, ice cream or IHOP.
比如说，“我”不是冰淇淋或 IHOP。
"I" was the interstate, and the picture was the interstate with all the little dotted line of cars on it.
“我”是州际公路，图片是州际公路，上面全是小虚线的汽车。
"J" was the junkyard.
“J”是垃圾场。
"K," what was "K"?
“K”，“K”是什么？
That's Jeannie Brooks, the school librarian in Pearlington.
那是珍妮·布鲁克斯，皮灵顿的学校图书管理员。
She was my host, and the first day I followed her into town.
她是我的主人，第一天我跟着她进城。
Just a two-lane road and trees for miles.
只有一条双车道的道路和绵延数英里的树木。
You'd never know a town was back there.
你永远不会知道那里有一座城镇。
15 miles outside of Pearlington, I got my first shock.
在皮灵顿郊外 15 英里处，我第一次感到震惊。
I was following Jeannie in her truck, and she stuck her arm out the window and pointed.
我在珍妮的卡车里跟踪她，她把手臂伸出窗外指着。
Oh.
哦。
Wow.
哇。
Tombs.
坟墓。
Holy crap.
