She calls her staff together for a meeting.

The day before this, when everybody was at a pep rally in the gym for Homecoming, a 16-year-old who attended Harper last year and dropped out, who still had friends here, was shot just a few blocks from school.

前一天,当大家在体育馆为返校节举行鼓舞士气的集会时,一名去年就读于哈珀学院并退学的 16 岁学生在距离学校仅几个街区的地方被枪杀,他在哈珀学院仍有朋友。

Immediately, the staff jumped into action.

随即,工作人员纷纷行动起来。

If you heard our radio program last week, you heard this part of the story, where it was the gang responsible for the shooting had members on the football team.

如果您上周收听过我们的广播节目,您就会听到故事的这一部分,负责枪击事件的团伙中有足球队成员。

So Principal Sanders was scared that there might be retaliation at the game or at the dance.

They sent home a handful of kids they thought might be in danger.

These murders, as you would expect, were hard on faculty and students alike.

正如你所预料的那样,这些谋杀案对教师和学生来说都是痛苦的。

But partly because it's been so tough, Principle Sanders wants very badly to give her students the fun, normal stuff that other high school students get, as much as she can.

但部分原因是这太艰难了,桑德斯校长非常希望尽可能多地为她的学生提供其他高中生所获得的有趣、正常的东西。

She really wants them to have a Homecoming dance.

If you're not a Harper student, have your IDs out.

As for the dance, after all the worrying and the beefed-up security, what ended up happening is nothing-- the best possible outcome.

至于舞会,在经历了所有的担心和加强的安保措施之后,最终发生的事情是什么——这是最好的结果。

The teenager who had been shot on Thursday, James Williams, made it to the hospital and survived.

Maybe because of that, there was no other immediate bloodshed.

也许正因为如此,才没有立即发生其他流血事件。

On the bleachers, you can make out Barielle, the Homecoming Queen, her dainty crown bouncing up and down at the center of this mass of kids.

就这样吧。

Ira Glass Today on our radio program, we spend a second hour at Harper High School on Chicago's South Side.

One of the three reporters we sent into the school, Alex Kotlowitz, has this story about a student who has seen more than his share.

我们派到学校的三名记者之一亚历克斯·科特洛维茨(Alex Kotlowitz)讲述了一个关于一名学生的故事,他的见识超出了他应有的水平。

In the five months I spent at Harper, nearly every time I visited the school's social work office, which was often, Thomas, a junior, would be there, too, during classes, passing periods, lunch, whenever.

在我在哈珀度过的五个月里,几乎每次我去学校的社会工作办公室时,大三学生托马斯也会在那里,上课时、过节时、午餐时,无论什么时候。

Back in 2006, he was at a birthday party for 10-year-old girl, Siretha White, nicknamed Nugget, when someone shot though the front window.

早在 2006 年,他正在参加 10 岁女孩 Siretha White(绰号 Nugget)的生日聚会,当时有人从前窗开枪。

亚历克斯·科特洛维茨(Alex Kotlowitz) 十月底,学校在一楼为夏卡基(Shakaki)设立了纪念展,托马斯被杀时就站在她旁边。

这是一个玻璃柜,里面装满了她和她朋友的照片、一个有她队友签名的篮球,以及安妮塔死后写给她的一张纸条。

沙卡基和哈珀的许多孩子一样,有一半人希望英年早逝,她告诉安妮塔,如果她被杀,她希望她在棺材里放一张纸条。

After she was killed, Anita wrote the note, but you couldn't bring herself to put it in which Shakaki.

Mostly it felt like tough talk, like teenage bravado.

But on this day, when talking about Shakaki, it started to become clear that this kind of talk, talk about hurting someone, isn't just tough guy bragging.

I began to realize that Thomas was trying the best he could to be honest about some feelings he has, feelings that scare him.

我开始意识到托马斯正在尽最大努力诚实地表达他的一些感受,那些让他害怕的感受。

When he was in middle school, he played quarterback for a youth league team that went to a national championship.

The way Mr. Owens describes the situation, it was half girl problem, half bully problem.

There were some fights in school, some fights on the street.

学校里有打架的事,街上也有打架的事。

No one was ever charged.

没有人被指控。

And this is where Boogie's version of the story separates from Mr. Owens's on a crucial point.

这就是布吉的故事版本与欧文斯先生的故事在一个关键点上的不同之处。

Mr. Owens says Terrance and Boogie and their friend's weren't in a gang.

欧文斯先生说特伦斯、布吉和他们的朋友并不属于一个帮派。

Boogie says that was true, but only at first.

布吉说这是真的,但只是一开始。

Boogie tells the story this way.

布吉这样讲故事。

When it all started, there was the gang that the girl's brother was in, S-Dub.

Boogie has no idea what that war was about-- girls, money, who knows?

They'd been at it for years, he says.

他说,他们已经这样做了很多年。

But by the time they got to high school, it was like a switch flipped on them.

Once they come through, and we taller now.

一旦他们通过了,我们现在就长高了。

It's all about height and stuff like that.

一切都与身高之类的东西有关。

So they call it hard legs, shooting at any hard legs.

That means male-- any male that look of age.

这意味着男性——任何看起来年龄较大的男性。

Any male that look of age will get shot.

So that's where it started, right there.

这就是事情开始的地方,就在那里。

You involved now.

你现在也参与其中了。

That's the thing.

就是这样。

Now you a part of it.

现在你是其中的一部分。

Boogie says the guys from S-Dub, they just assumed they were with Seven Deuce because they were young men living in the neighborhood.

Boogie 说来自 S-Dub 的人,他们只是以为自己是 Seven Deuce 的成员,因为他们是住在附近的年轻人。

So S-Dub would drive up, point guns at them, threaten them.

They'd steal from them and take their stuff, embarrass them in front of girls.

他们会偷窃他们的东西,让他们在女孩面前难堪。

Fear drove us to really get into it.

我们觉得我们必须以毒攻毒。

Like Terrance, he always was a stronger leader because he was the quarterback of a football team.

和特伦斯一样,他一直是一个更强大的领导者,因为他是橄榄球队的四分卫。

So he knew how to lead a team.

所以他知道如何领导一个团队。

So we thought if they want to come burn us down, we gonna come burn they town down, too.

所以我们想,如果他们想烧毁我们,我们也会烧毁他们的城镇。

All this was news to Mr. Owens, Terrance's dad.

这一切对于特伦斯的父亲欧文斯先生来说都是新闻。

He never knew that Terrance and his friends were fighting back this way.

他从来不知道,庭斯他们竟然会用这样的方式反击。

And when he hears "fight fire with fire," the implication of that, it isn't something Mr. Owens is really ready to accept.

当他听到“以毒攻毒”的含义时,欧文斯先生并没有真正准备好接受。

You know, let me cut in just for a minute.

你知道,让我插话一下。

When he say they retaliated off of that, I mean, what can they do?

当他说他们对此进行报复时,我的意思是,他们能做什么?

They didn't have no guns.

他们没有枪。

I don't see how y'all could retaliate when you all didn't have what they had.

当你们都没有他们所拥有的东西时,我不明白你们如何进行报复。

They had more power than us.

But Mr. Owens insists, you didn't have any guns.

And finally, Boogie admits it pretty plainly.

Yeah, they had things like guns and all type of weapons.

We were still using CTA.

It was crazy.

太疯狂了。

But when they got back and forth, when the war really started, if they came on our side, they would have to worry about making it back to their side.

但当他们来来回回的时候,当战争真正开始的时候,如果他们站在我们这边,他们就得担心如何回到他们这边。

And it was the same way for us.

我们也是如此。

Other friends of Terrance's have told me, by the summer when he was killed, the shooting was pretty much constant.

特伦斯的其他朋友告诉我,到他被杀的那个夏天,枪击事件几乎一直在发生。

One said, "I'm not going to lie.

其中一人说:“我不会撒谎。

We were shooting pretty much every day.

我们几乎每天都在拍摄。

It was wolf season," he said.

这是狼的季节,”他说。

When they talk about what all this was like, you can totally see why they memorialize Terrance the way they do-- because there'd been this moment when they felt scared and unprotected.

当他们谈论这一切时,你完全可以理解为什么他们会以这种方式纪念特伦斯——因为有那么一刻他们感到害怕和不受保护。

He was the one that rallied them.

他是团结他们的人。

He was their leader.

他是他们的领袖。

And because he was their leader, he became a target.

因为他是他们的领袖,所以他成为了目标。

"He died for us," Boogie told me.

“他为我们而死,”布吉告诉我。

You can see why they'd want to name their neighborhood after him.

你就明白为什么他们想以他的名字命名他们的社区了。

Boogie says part of what made those years so frightening for them is that they were underdogs.

布吉说,那些年让他们如此恐惧的部分原因是他们处于劣势。

They were younger, smaller.

他们更年轻、更小。

And they had to figure out for themselves how to fight back.

他们必须自己想办法反击。

The older guys, the ones in Seven Deuce who'd started the war, they hadn't recruited them.

那些年长的家伙,也就是七平二中那些发动战争的人,他们没有招募他们。

They hadn't taught them how it all worked.

他们没有教他们这一切是如何运作的。

I'm not blaming it on nobody.

The weight was put on our shoulders and just dumped.

Like the older guys, they so separated from us.

就像那些年长的人一样,他们与我们分开了。

It's so segregated that we don't even know their names.

它是如此隔离,以至于我们甚至不知道他们的名字。

But they the ones who started the war which led to Terrance getting killed.

但他们发动了导致特伦斯被杀的战争。

But I couldn't even recall one of their names if I wanted to.

但如果我想的话,我什至都想不起他们的名字。

Of course, to an adult, this is upside down world logic, that the one thing that could have helped them and maybe saved Terrance's life was being recruited and trained by a gang, that the only adults who could have helped them were gang members.

当然,对于成年人来说,这是颠倒的世界逻辑,唯一可以帮助他们并可能挽救特伦斯生命的事情就是被一个帮派招募和训练,唯一可以帮助他们的成年人就是帮派成员。

And the more Boogie said stuff like this, how they inherited this war, the more upset Mr. Owens got.

布吉说得越多,他们如何继承这场战争,欧文斯先生就越不安。

Don't say you was inheriting nothing, because you wasn't.

不要说你没有继承任何东西,因为你没有继承任何东西。

Inheriting means somebody gave you something.

继承意味着有人给了你一些东西。

And nobody gave you nothing.

没有人给你任何东西。

And that's what I was saying.

这就是我所说的。

Tony Owens I'm saying you didn't have nothing to do with what was going on.

托尼·欧文斯 我是说你与所发生的事情没有任何关系。

Y'all was just kids is in hood.

你们都只是戴着兜帽的孩子。

You joined, got initiated.

你加入了,开始了。

You became a bad guy.

你变成了一个坏人。

It was clear who was in them and who wasn't.

谁在其中,谁不在其中,一目了然。

The world Boogie was describing, where his son was kind of drafted into a gang war he didn't even really want to be a part of, that didn't make sense to Mr. Owens.

布吉所描述的世界,他的儿子被征召入伍,参加一场他甚至不想参与的帮派战争,这对欧文斯先生来说毫无意义。

Towards the end of our conversation, we looked at a map of that new reality.

在谈话即将结束时,我们查看了新现实的地图。

We looked at the gang map Harper High School uses, where Terrance's initials, TG City, sit on a big rectangle southeast of the high school.

我们查看了哈珀高中使用的帮派地图,特伦斯名字的首字母“TG City”位于高中东南部的一个大矩形上。

Mr. Owen's had never seen anything like it.

It upset him even more.

这让他更加心烦意乱。

He'd always thought that was just a nice nickname the kids had given to the neighborhood, a way of remembering his son, not a gang.

When you showed me a map of the gang names and TG in that, oh, no. That's his initials.

He don't fit in that.

After a few minutes, we walked outside to take a break and get some fresh air.

He told me a story about how the last time he'd seen Terrance was on his porch.

There's a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines.

So how do they get them?

The third of our Harper reporters, Linda Lutton, asked.

I talked to eight Harper students at school one day.

It was often hard at Harper to get kids to talk about how they felt about the violence in their neighborhood.

在哈珀,让孩子们谈论他们对邻里暴力的感受往往很困难。

But when it came to something concrete, like where a kid around here would get a gun, it was easy to get into a detailed conversation about dirty guns and clean guns and the prices of each.

但当谈到具体的事情时,比如这里的孩子在哪里可以获得一把枪,很容易就肮脏的枪和干净的枪以及每种枪的价格进行详细的对话。

They said if it's a cheap gun on the street, you have to be careful.

It might have a murder on it.

And they know how clean guns, guns with no murders on them, end up on the street.

他们知道枪支是多么干净,没有任何谋杀案的枪支最终会出现在街上。

They got they gun cards.

他们拿到了枪卡。

And then when they sell them, they just report them stolen-- like a month later, reported stolen.

Even if it's a dirty gun with a murder on it, what's the cheapest?

就算是一把脏枪,上面写着谋杀案,什么最便宜?

Like $100.

Boy 2 It depends on what kind of gun it is.

男孩2 这取决于它是什么类型的枪。

$100.

100 美元。

And what kind of gun would that be for $100?

100 美元会是什么样的枪?

Because you gotta trick some people.

因为你必须欺骗一些人。

They would be like, give me $100 for a .22 caliber.

他们会说,给我 100 美元买一支 0.22 口径。

Boy, I don't even play with those.

I'll give you $25 for it.

The boys argue for a while over how much a .22 caliber handgun would be worth-- $25, $40, $150, or if it's worth anything at all since it's not a big gun.

男孩们争论了一把 0.22 口径手枪的价值——25 美元、40 美元、150 美元,或者它是否值钱,因为它不是一把大枪。

Boy 1 I could make a phone call.

男孩 1 我可以打电话。

Of course, this isn't the most satisfying answer to the question, where do you get your gun?

当然,这并不是对“你从哪里得到枪?”这个问题最令人满意的答案。

To shrug and say, "from my friends," it doesn't explain how your friends get them.

耸耸肩说“来自我的朋友”并不能解释你的朋友是如何得到它们的。

Guns arrive in the neighborhood through all the means you've probably heard of-- straw purchasers, gun show loopholes.

The feds recently charged a college student with buying duffel bags full of guns at Indiana gun shows for sale on Chicago streets.

When I asked what type of gun it was, the boy said he was too little to know at the time.

现在,今天,感恩节前的星期二,德文特似乎正在漂流。

几周后,当我再次见到克里斯托时,她告诉我德文特已经不再来学校了,她还没有收到他的消息。

What's worse, though, is that she says she's heard from some of the school staff that he's been picked up by the police on a gun possession charge.

但更糟糕的是,她说她从一些学校工作人员那里听说,他因持有枪支罪名被警方逮捕。

And when they do, he's facing serious charges-- the gun charge itself, violation of probation, which he was on for the accidental shooting, maybe running from the court.

当他们这样做时,他将面临严重的指控——枪支指控本身,违反缓刑,他因意外枪击而被判缓刑,也许还逃离法庭。

Then Crystal remind him, don't forget he's in there.

然后克里斯托提醒他,别忘了他就在那里。

And so it was very hard for me.

所以这对我来说非常困难。

And I said, OK, son.

Act Five: Reverse Turnaround Backflip Ira Glass Act Five, Reverse Turnaround Backflip.

第五幕:反向转身后空翻 Ira Glass 第五幕,反向转身后空翻。

The time of year that we're in right now is hard for Principal Sanders because it's budget time, planning next year's budget.

对于桑德斯校长来说,现在正处于一年中的困难时期,因为现在是预算时间,规划明年的预算。

Harper is actually in a good situation this year with money.

哈珀今年的财运其实不错。

But as Ben Calhoun explains, that's about to change.

但正如本·卡尔霍恩 (Ben Calhoun) 所解释的那样,这种情况即将改变。

Harper's in a unique spot at the moment because it's what the Chicago school system calls a turnaround school.

哈珀目前处于一个独特的位置,因为它被芝加哥学校系统称为“扭亏为盈”的学校。

A few years ago, the system said Harper need an overhaul.

几年前,系统表示哈珀需要进行彻底改革。

So they turned over most of the staff, brought in new people, and infused the school with money, a lot of money.

所以他们调换了大部分员工,引进了新人,并向学校注入了资金,大量的资金。

Just to give you an idea, Harper's total budget this year is $8.9 million.

仅供参考,哈珀今年的总预算为 890 万美元。

$1.6 million of that is turnaround money.

其中 160 万美元是周转资金。

Last year, the turnaround money was even bigger, almost $2 million.

去年,扭亏为盈的资金甚至更多,接近 200 万美元。

One former district official involved in Harper's turnaround told me that Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who used to run Chicago's schools, he said to his former colleagues, with these new turnaround initiatives, like the one at Harper, he wanted to, quote, "take the issue of money off the table," in other words, give them whatever they need.

一位参与哈珀扭亏为盈的前地区官员告诉我,曾经管理芝加哥学校的教育部长阿恩·邓肯(Arne Duncan)对他的前同事说,通过这些新的扭亏为盈举措,就像哈珀的举措一样,他想“把钱的问题从桌面上拿下来”,换句话说,给他们任何他们需要的东西。

So the plan was pretty much boost the school with a lot of federal, state, and city money, then as the changes took hold, slowly ramp down the money.

因此,该计划基本上是用大量联邦、州和市资金来推动学校发展,然后随着变化的发生,慢慢减少资金。

And then five years later, the funding would go back to normal.

五年后,资金将恢复正常。

That's next year.

那是明年了。

Next year is when the money goes away.

明年就是钱花光的时候。

In the fall, I sat down with Principal Sanders and the school's operations manager to talk about all this.

秋天,我与桑德斯校长和学校运营经理坐下来讨论了这一切。

They told me the money has done so much.

他们告诉我这笔钱做了很多事情。

There's a new culinary learning room, new computer equipment, small stuff like a new ID machine.

有一个新的烹饪学习室,新的计算机设备,还有像新的身份识别机这样的小东西。

Principal Sanders talks about the first year of turnaround like it was amazing.

桑德斯校长谈到第一年的转变时感觉非常惊人。

There were four assistant principals, reduced class sizes.

有四名副校长,班级人数减少。

There was the kind of support staff-- social workers and counselors-- in numbers that other schools only dream of.

这里有其他学校梦寐以求的支持人员——社会工作者和辅导员。

The operations manager told me he's been a Chicago Public Schools money guy for 15 years.

运营经理告诉我,他 15 年来一直为芝加哥公立学校提供资金。

He's been at more than 10 other high schools.

他曾就读过 10 多所其他高中。

He told me he's seen programs like the turnaround program before.

他告诉我他以前见过类似周转计划的计划。

It was called other things-- intervention, reconstitution but he says bluntly that Harper is the first time he's seen it work, partly because there's just been more money this time.

它被称为其他东西——干预、重建,但他直言不讳地说,哈珀是他第一次看到它起作用,部分原因是这次钱更多了。

So next year, though, Harper will lose the last $1.6 million of turnaround money, about 18% of its budget.

但明年,哈珀将损失最后 160 万美元的扭亏为盈,约占其预算的 18%。

And the biggest effect of that will be layoffs.

其中最大的影响将是裁员。

Hey, Miss Carter.

嘿,卡特小姐。

Is that a pass in your hand?

你手里的是通行证吗?

I'm so proud of you, Miss Carter.

我为你感到骄傲,卡特小姐。

What effect will layoffs have on Harper?

裁员对哈珀有何影响?

I spend a couple mornings with a staff member named Marcel Smith.

我和一位名叫马塞尔·史密斯的工作人员共度了几个早晨。

Marcel works on a program that tries to rescue kids who are failing out.

马塞尔致力于一项旨在拯救那些失败的孩子的计划。

Harper has a lot of initiatives like that.

哈珀有很多类似的举措。

There's mentoring programs and enrichment programs, all boosted by turnaround.

有指导计划和丰富计划,所有这些都受到扭亏为盈的推动。

So on paper, that's what Marcel does.

所以在纸面上,这就是马塞尔所做的。

But if you walk around with him, you see what Sanders sees, all the little things that would never be considered part of his job.

但如果你和他一起走来走去,你就会看到桑德斯看到的一切,所有这些小事永远不会被视为他工作的一部分。

The day I was with him, in the morning, Marcel came across a young man standing in the hallway.

我和他在一起的那天早上,马塞尔遇到一个年轻人站在走廊上。

The kid was keeping a straight face.

孩子一直板着脸。

But he was clearly upset.

但他显然很沮丧。

It turned out he'd been asked to leave his class.

原来他被要求离开班级。

As Marcel turned to deal with him, he asked me to turn off the recorder, so I did.

当马塞尔转身对付他时,他让我关掉录音机,我照做了。

They talked for a minute.

他们聊了一分钟。

Marcel took the kid to his office, sat him down, told him to wait.

马塞尔把孩子带到他的办公室,让他坐下,让他等一下。

And we walked away.

然后我们就走开了。

He didn't want to use the student's name.

他不想使用学生的名字。

But he explained what was going on.

但他解释了发生了什么事。

Apparently, the students were given an incentive for being on time.

显然,学生们因为准时而受到了激励。

And it was food.

那是食物。

Cookies.

曲奇饼。

It was cookies.

这是饼干。

And this student, along with everyone who'd gotten to class on time that day, was allowed to go up and take a cookie.

这位学生和当天准时到校的每个人都被允许上去拿一块饼干。

But this particular student was dealing with a difficult and maybe dangerous situation at his house.

但这位特殊的学生正在他的家里处理一个困难甚至可能危险的情况。

So he hadn't gone home the night before.

所以前一天晚上他就没有回家。

And because of that, he hadn't eaten.

正因为如此,他才没有吃饭。

So when he went up to take his cookie, he took two.

所以当他上去拿饼干时,他拿了两块。

The teacher told them to put one back.

老师叫他们把一张放回去。

Not wanting to reveal his situation to the rest of the class, he didn't say anything.

他不想让班上其他人知道自己的情况,所以没有说什么。

He just refused.

他只是拒绝了。

He told Marcel he was just so hungry.

他告诉马塞尔他只是太饿了。

That's why he'd been kicked out.

这就是他被赶出去的原因。

Marcel had a box of cereal in his office.

马塞尔的办公室里有一盒麦片粥。

And I walked with him as he zipped down to the cafeteria.

当他飞快地向自助餐厅走去时,我和他一起走着。

They were out of regular milk.

他们没有普通牛奶了。

Ladies?

女士们?

Ladies, how y'all doing?

女士们,你们好吗?

Can I get two chocolate milks, please?

请问可以给我两杯巧克力牛奶吗?

Thank you.

谢谢。

Back in Marcel's office, the student sat quietly, staring down, and ate a plastic bowl filled with Honey Nut Cheerios and chocolate milk.

回到马塞尔的办公室,这名学生安静地坐着,低着头,吃了一个装满蜂蜜坚果麦片和巧克力牛奶的塑料碗。

Then he got up, politely washed the bowl and spoon, said thank you to Marcel, and the two went back to his classroom.

然后他起身,礼貌地洗了碗和勺子,向马塞尔说了声谢谢,然后两人就回到了他的教室。

You see situations like this all the time at Harper, situations that could so easily unravel.

在哈珀,你经常会看到这样的情况,而且很容易就会崩溃。

And without thinking anything of it, they get addressed because someone is there and makes the effort to figure out what's going on.

无需多想,他们就会得到解决,因为有人在那里并努力弄清楚发生了什么。

It's stuff that'll never show up in a school budget.

这些东西永远不会出现在学校预算中。

But it can be the difference between a kid going back to class or getting suspended.

但这可能是孩子重返课堂或被停学的区别。

Kids, you know, you can't tell kids when not to have a good day.

孩子们,你知道,你不能告诉孩子们什么时候不开心。

Like, you can't have a good day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, because I'm not going to be there.

就像,你不能在周二和周四度过美好的一天,因为我不会在那里。

You can only have bad days on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

你只能在周一、周三和周五经历糟糕的日子。

This is exactly what Principle Sanders is worried about next year when the turnaround money goes away, the people she'll have to give up.

这正是桑德斯原则所担心的,明年当扭亏为盈的钱消失时,她将不得不放弃那些人。

Marcel's position is funded through next year.

马塞尔的职位的资金将持续到明年。

But he's exactly the kind of person who there won't be money for.

但他就是那种没有钱的人。

Assistant Principal Chad Adams, the school psychologist, numerous teaching positions-- not currently funded for next year.

助理校长查德·亚当斯(Chad Adams)是学校的心理学家,担任过许多教学职位——目前还没有为明年提供资金。

The social workers who you've heard working with Thomas and Devonte-- there's Crystal, and there's Anita-- next year, Anita will go away.

你听说过与托马斯和德文特一起工作的社会工作者——有克里斯托,还有安妮塔——明年,安妮塔将会离开。

And Crystal will only be part time.

而克里斯托只是兼职。

Altogether, Harper expects to lose at least a dozen people, about a tenth of the current staff.

哈珀预计总共将失去至少十几名员工,大约是现有员工的十分之一。

Two of the security staff who have seen Harper go through overhauls in the past say it always changes when the money is added.

两名过去曾见过哈珀进行大修的保安人员表示,当资金增加时,情况总是会发生变化。

But then everything goes backwards once it's lost.

但一旦失去,一切都会倒退。

There's more fights.

还有更多的争吵。

The violence gets worse.

暴力行为变得更加严重。

You know, I mean, there's not much we can do.

你知道,我的意思是,我们无能为力。

$1.6 million is a lot of money to lose.

160 万美元的损失是一笔巨款。

Every day, I wish I could win the lottery and just pay people out of my pocket.

每天,我都希望自己能中彩票,然后自掏腰包付钱给别人。

When Sanders first said that, it was a joke, not much to it.

当桑德斯第一次这么说时,这是一个笑话,并没有多大意义。

Except for what Ms. Sanders said then.

除了桑德斯女士当时所说的话。

She told me she does find herself thinking about what she would do if she won the lottery.

她告诉我,她确实在思考如果中了彩票她会做什么。

And a lot of that money, she'd put it into the school.

她把很多钱都捐给了学校。

I would hook Harper up.

我会把哈珀勾起来。

And everybody would be sitting back like, dang.

每个人都会坐下来,就像,天哪。

And I would say, yeah, I mean, they would have the state of the art labs.

我想说,是的,我的意思是,他们将拥有最先进的实验室。

Every student would have access to a computer.

每个学生都可以使用计算机。

Any of the capital resources, human resources, that we needed, they would have.

我们需要的任何资本资源、人力资源,他们都会拥有。

Sanders kept going like this for 4 minutes and 38 seconds.

桑德斯就这样持续了4分38秒。

With her imaginary millions, she bought big things, like vacant land near the school.

她用想象中的数百万美元买了很多大东西,比如学校附近的空地。

She rehabbed houses where students who are homeless would have a place to stay.

她修复了房屋,让无家可归的学生有地方住。

She created transportation programs to get kids to and from school safely.

10 years, she said.

She'd structure it out so that the money would be spread out over 10 years.

So things like that, if I was to win money.

如果我要赢钱的话,就会发生类似的事情。

It's such a need here.

这里有这样的需要。

It's just such a need here.

这里正是有这样的需要。

How often do you find yourself budgeting out that imaginary money, that if you had it?

如果你有的话,你是否经常发现自己在预算中花掉了这笔假想的钱?

I do it a lot.

我经常这样做。

[LAUGHS] I do it because every time, it's like a different situation.

[笑]我这样做是因为每次都会有不同的情况。

And I just sit back and say what if?

我只是坐下来说如果怎么办?

God, what if?

天哪,万一呢?
