Prologue: Prologue Ira Glass From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Life.

序言:序言 来自 WBEZ 芝加哥的 Ira Glass,这就是美国生活。

OK, so going down the stairs to walk the dog, reluctant to use the elevator today because there are explosions in my area, mostly pretty rare ones, but over the last hour, maybe more frequent.

好吧,所以下楼梯去遛狗,今天不愿意使用电梯,因为我所在的地区发生了爆炸,大多是非常罕见的爆炸,但在过去的一个小时里,可能更频繁。

This is recorded in Kyiv by a woman named Katia.

这是由一位名叫卡蒂亚(Katia)的妇女在基辅录制的。

And it takes you into the everydayness of this war in this very intimate, three-dimensional way.

它以一种非常亲密的三维方式带你进入这场战争的日常生活。

I'm going to play you a bit more of this before I say more about it.

在我详细介绍之前,我将先给大家演示一下。

And I already have noticed that the best way to know if they are really close is to observe the birds.

我已经注意到,了解它们是否真的很接近的最好方法是观察鸟类。

If the birds start panicking and flying away, that means that explosion is probably relatively close.

如果鸟儿开始惊慌并飞走,则意味着爆炸可能相对较近。

Oh, here.

哦,在这里。

There was another one.

还有另外一个。

I really need to have my dog pee.

我真的需要让我的狗撒尿。

There is a beep of the door.

门传来“嘟”的一声。

And so day, I think, second of the war-- I think it was February 25-- there was shooting that I could hear from three directions.

所以,我想,战争的第二天——我想是 2 月 25 日——我可以从三个方向听到枪声。

And then when I came home, almost immediately I heard this loud, metallic noise.

然后当我回到家时,几乎立刻我就听到了这种巨大的金属噪音。

And I looked out the window, and there was a tank driving along my building.

我向窗外望去,有一辆坦克沿着我的大楼行驶。

So there is a dig in the ground where Russian tank was driving, and my dog is considering peeing on it right now, which is frankly hilarious.

俄罗斯坦克行驶的地方有一个挖洞,我的狗现在正在考虑在上面撒尿,坦率地说,这很搞笑。

But if you go along them, you can clearly see--

但如果你沿着它们走下去,你可以清楚地看到——

OK, the birds are flying.

好吧,鸟儿飞了。

I think I will try to head back in general direction of my house, and sorry.

我想我会尝试朝我家的大致方向返回,抱歉。

My dog is stubborn.

我的狗很固执。

He doesn't want to.

他不想。

I think he wants to go poop.

我觉得他想拉屎。

Risking my life for you, asshole.

为了你我冒着生命危险,混蛋。

No, he's not an asshole.

不,他不是一个混蛋。

He's a very sweet and kind dog.

他是一只非常可爱又善良的狗。

He is very, very calm about the-- OK, I'm going home because this one was really loud.

他非常非常平静——好吧,我要回家了,因为这个声音真的很大。

Katia actually recorded these for the VICE News Reports podcast, starting at the beginning of the war.

卡蒂亚实际上从战争开始时就为 VICE 新闻报道播客录制了这些内容。

She asked that they and we not say her last name, or what part of the city she's in, or what kind of job she does, other than it's in education.

她要求他们和我们不要说出她的姓氏,或者她在城市的哪个部分,或者她从事什么工作,除了教育以外。

War is personal.

战争是个人的。

We don't usually talk about it that way, but Ukraine had over 40 million people at the start of the war.

我们通常不会这样谈论它,但战争开始时乌克兰有超过 4000 万人口。

And there are just all kinds of ways that they're going through it, on all sorts of front lines.

他们在各种前线以各种方式经历着这一切。

For Katia, the front line has been a bunch of different things, but one of them is her decision to stay in Kyiv with her parents.

对于卡蒂亚来说,前线有很多不同的事情,但其中之一就是她决定和父母一起留在基辅。

Her dad's 87.

她父亲87岁了。

Her mom's 73.

她妈妈73岁了。

Both have medical issues.

两人都有健康问题。

My dad has cancer.

我爸爸得了癌症。

He's not treatable, basically not treatable anymore.

他无法治疗,基本上已经无法治疗了。

He's also almost completely blind.

他也几乎完全失明。

And so he's basically lying in bed the entire day, apart from walking along the corridor a little bit and eating, and he's listening to radio.

所以他基本上一整天都躺在床上,除了沿着走廊走一会儿、吃点东西外,他还听广播。

My mom has diabetes.

我妈妈患有糖尿病。

She also has trouble walking.

她走路也有困难。

They are choosing to stay here because they can't just go to the bomb shelter back and forth all the time.

他们选择留在这里,是因为他们不能一直去防空洞来回。

And we're just hoping for the best.

我们只是希望得到最好的结果。

She shops for them, stays up nights to help her dad with whatever he needs.

她为他们购物,熬夜帮助她父亲满足他需要的一切。

At this stage of his illness, she says, he wouldn't be as comfortable anywhere as he is in this apartment.

她说,在他病情的这个阶段,他在任何地方都不会像在这间公寓里那么舒服。

She does a bunch of different stuff in these audio diaries, like she does a tour of their apartment, which includes a stop at this big bag in the hallway with stuff that she's packed if they need to flee.

她在这些音频日记中做了很多不同的事情,比如她参观了他们的公寓,其中包括在走廊里的这个大包前停下来,里面装着她打包的东西,以防他们需要逃跑。

Inside my backpack, I have documents.

我的背包里有文件。

I have some of my clothes, headlight.

我有一些衣服,车头灯。

I think I have some of my underpants.

我想我有一些内裤。

OK, going further through my corridor, there is a spot where I sleep because it has wall on one hand and it has a big wardrobe on the other.

好吧,再穿过我的走廊,有一个我睡觉的地方,因为它一方面有墙,另一方面有一个大衣柜。

I think it's, maybe apart from the bathroom, the best option to survive in case of blast.

我认为,也许除了浴室之外,这是在发生爆炸时生存的最佳选择。

There's an audio diary that she does, where her dad is listening to a radio report, where people on the radio are explaining what taxes they do and do not need to pay right now that the country is in a state of war.

她写了一本音频日记,她爸爸正在听广播报道,广播里的人正在解释他们现在需要缴纳哪些税,而国家正处于战争状态,不需要缴纳哪些税。

There's one where Katia notes that before the war, the hallway in her apartment building always smelled like weed because that's where teenagers went to get high, but that hasn't been true since the war.

卡蒂亚(Katia)在其中指出,战前,她公寓楼的走廊总是闻起来像杂草,因为那是青少年吸毒的地方,但战后情况并非如此。

And then she records this one, I guess, for her American listeners.

然后她录制了这首歌曲,我想是为了她的美国听众。

OK, there is an address by the president that was published exactly three minutes ago.

好的,总统的讲话是三分钟前发表的。

So I'm going to watch it.

所以我要去看看。

I know that Zelensky is a bit of a sex symbol in the West right now, so I hope this is a bit of an ASMR sesh for you, [LAUGHS] as well.

我知道泽连斯基现在在西方有点性感象征,所以我希望这对你来说也有点 ASMR sesh,[笑]。

[LAUGHS] I'm sorry if this was way too harsh of a joke.

[笑]如果这是一个太严厉的笑话,我很抱歉。

Ira Glass Katia's dog, Yoki, is in a bunch of these audio diary entries.

Ira Glass Katia 的狗 Yoki 就出现在这些音频日记条目中。

In one of them, she talks about how they bought some canned dog food for him, which luckily he likes.

在其中一篇文章中,她谈到他们如何给他买了一些罐装狗粮,幸运的是他喜欢。

He's apparently kind of a finicky eater.

看来他是个挑食的人。

But now the cans are running out, and they're not sure what they're going to find to replace them with.

但现在罐子已经用完了,他们不知道能找到什么来代替。

Today we gave him one can in the morning, and in the evening my mom said that maybe we should don't give him his second meal to spread out the food supplies for him that we have.

今天早上我们给了他一罐,晚上我妈妈说也许我们不应该给他第二顿饭,以分散我们为他提供的食物供应。

And my dad, he just wanted to eat kefir, which I don't know if you're familiar with.

而我爸爸,他只是想吃开菲尔,我不知道你是否熟悉。

It's a kind of sour milk drink.

这是一种酸奶饮料。

He drank maybe half of it, maybe a little bit more than half of it, and he just said, give the rest to the dog.

他可能喝了一半,可能比一半多一点,他只是说,把剩下的给狗。

And this was heartbreaking.

这令人心碎。

My 87-year-old dad, him in his condition, he'd given half of his dinner to the dog.

我87岁的父亲,在他的情况下,他把一半的晚餐给了狗。

It's just fucked.

简直就是操蛋。

Russian warship, go fuck yourself.

In a war, the front line is everywhere, every place the war touches.

在战争中,前线无处不在,战争触及的每一​​个地方都存在。

And right now, people are navigating their own small struggles in the shadow of this huge one.

现在,人们正在这场巨大斗争的阴影下进行自己的小斗争。

In putting together today's show, I thought about Studs Terkel's book, The Good War.

在整理今天的节目时,我想到了 Studs Terkel 的书《正义之战》。

I don't know if you know this one.

我不知道你是否认识这个。

He tries to document World War II, but not talking about it as history with a capital H, but just, he does interviews, just these great interviews with all sorts of people who lived through the war.

他试图记录第二次世界大战,但不是用大写的 H 将其作为历史来谈论,而是只是进行采访,只是对经历过战争的各种人进行了这些精彩的采访。

Today's show is kind of like that.

今天的节目有点像这样。

Anyway, stay with us.

无论如何,留在我们身边吧。

Act One: Yevgenia and Her Neighbors Ira Glass Act One, Yevgenia and Her Neighbors.

第一幕:叶夫根尼娅和她的邻居 艾拉·格拉斯 第一幕,叶夫根尼娅和她的邻居。

So one of the things that made us want to do a show of personal stories in this war was reading these diaries that Yevgenia Belorusets has been publishing.

因此,让我们想要在这场战争中展示个人故事的原因之一就是阅读叶夫根尼娅·贝洛鲁塞特出版的这些日记。

She's a writer and a photographer in Kyiv.

And after the Russians invaded, when she'd go out and take pictures, she would be told over and over to put away her camera.

So instead she started writing about the interactions that she was having with people and putting them into Der Spiegel Magazine.

因此,她开始写下她与人们的互动,并将其放入《明镜周刊》杂志中。

Kyiv was nowhere as violent or as dangerous as certain other cities in Ukraine, but everybody was still living in this city that was transformed by the war and figuring out how to deal with that.

基辅不像乌克兰其他一些城市那样暴力或危险,但每个人仍然生活在这座被战争改变的城市里,并想出如何应对这一问题。

In the diaries, Yevgenia says over and over in different ways, is this really happening?

在日记中,叶夫根尼娅以不同的方式一遍又一遍地说,这真的发生了吗?

Munachi says that on his walk back, he remembers that he stopped feeling like himself.

穆纳奇说,在他回来的​​路上,他记得自己不再感觉像自己了。

His entire world, everything he thought he knew about Ukraine, was thrown into chaos.

他的整个世界,他自以为了解的关于乌克兰的一切,都陷入了混乱。

Nothing was organized.

一切都没有组织起来。

The Ukrainians he lived among were now treating him like an alien, even an enemy, because he wasn't the right color.

与他生活在一起的乌克兰人现在把他当作外星人,甚至敌人,因为他的肤色不对。

Munachi saw himself one way, hardworking, quiet, friendly, and soon realized during the worst moments of his life that others were seeing him in a very different way.

穆纳奇以一种方式看待自己,勤奋、安静、友善,但很快他就意识到,在他生命中最糟糕的时刻,其他人以一种截然不同的方式看待他。

The people who wouldn't give him a ride, who wouldn't let him cross the border, to them, his life seemed to be worth less than theirs.

那些不让他搭车、不让他过境的人,对他们来说,他的命似乎比他们的还不值钱。

He finally reaches a hotel, but the clerk says there are no rooms.

他终于到达一家酒店,但店员说没有房间了。

But this time, Munachi did not just accept what he was told.

His cousin gets a friend who speaks Ukrainian to talk to the hotel clerk, and the friend is able to book a room over the phone.

他的表弟找了一位会说乌克兰语的朋友与酒店服务员交谈,这位朋友可以通过电话预订房间。

[LAUGHS] Munachi Nnadi That is a big question.

[笑] Munachi Nnadi 这是一个大问题。

Well, I gave the lady a very big smile, [LAUGHTER] and like, god, finally, oh, you see.

好吧,我给了这位女士一个非常灿烂的微笑,[笑声],天啊,终于,哦,你看。

[LAUGHTER] Alexis Okeowo The next day, Munachi tried again.

[笑声] Alexis Okeowo 第二天,Munachi 再次尝试。

He made his way back to the border and could finally cross to Poland.

Less than a week later, he moved on to Berlin.

不到一周后,他前往柏林。

I was in Berlin last month as thousands of refugees from Ukraine came through Central Station and went on to various hostels.

上个月我在柏林,当时数千名来自乌克兰的难民通过中央车站,前往各个旅馆。

The Ukrainians I talked to told me they had no plans.

与我交谈的乌克兰人告诉我他们没有计划。

They just wanted their home to be safe again, so they could return as soon as possible.

But the foreign students, like Munachi, are in a different situation.

但像Munachi这样的外国学生的情况就不同了。

Ukrainian citizens can get temporary residence in the European Union.

Foreign students cannot, even though they're living alongside Ukrainian refugees.

外国学生不能,即使他们与乌克兰难民生活在一起。

They just fled the same war.

The students either have to go back to their home countries, or hope that the countries they fled to will allow them to stay and finish the educations they came for.

学生们要么必须返回自己的祖国,要么希望他们逃往的国家允许他们留下来完成他们想要的教育。

Munachi is currently in his third hostel in Germany.

He's been sharing a room with another refugee, learning another new language, and waiting to hear if the German government will let him stay in the country.

他一直与另一名难民共用一个房间,学习另一种新语言,并等待德国政府是否会让他留在该国。

He and other international students there have until August to get accepted to a German school and prove they have at least 10,000 euros to pay for a year of living costs.

他和那里的其他国际学生必须在八月份之前被德国学校录取,并证明他们有至少 10,000 欧元来支付一年的生活费用。

Otherwise, they will be required to leave.

否则,他们将被要求离开。

That's money a lot of students don't have.

这是很多学生都没有的钱。

Munachi is trying to finish up this year's classes online, but it hasn't been easy.

穆纳奇试图在网上完成今年的课程,但这并不容易。

He left his school books in Poland.

他把课本留在了波兰。

It's still surreal that he's even in this situation.

即使他处于这种情况,仍然是超现实的。

The 1,000 people in the Nigerian students' group chat are now scattered, but people are still posting, checking in on one another, and helping each other figure out their next steps.

尼日利亚学生群里的 1000 人现在已经分散,但人们仍在发帖、互相关注、互相帮助制定下一步计划。

Please, who is in Poland here?

请问,谁在波兰?

I have my dog stocked in Lviv.

我把我的狗饲养在利沃夫。

It can be sent to you, so you can help me give it to someone coming to Nigeria.

它可以发送给您,这样您就可以帮我把它送给来尼日利亚的人。

Please.

请。

I don't want them to die.

It's an uneasy limbo these students are in.

这些学生正处于一个令人不安的困境。

In order to finish their degrees in Europe, they're signing up for an immediate future of moving from place to place, of starting all over again and again.

为了在欧洲完成学位,他们准备在不久的将来从一个地方搬到另一个地方,一次又一次地重新开始。

Here's what Munachi is thinking about.

这就是穆纳奇的想法。

I asked myself, oh, what does it feel like to be a war student?

我问自己,哦,成为一名战争学生感觉如何?

What if I'm a doctor?

如果我是一名医生怎么办?

What will I be doing in a situation like this if my help is needed, something like that?

在这种情况下,如果需要我的帮助,类似的事情,我会怎么做?

I don't know if you understand.

不知道你是否明白。

I do understand.

我明白。

Munachi is spinning through all the identities he's both imagined for himself and experienced, medical student, doctor, and now, student during wartime.

穆纳奇正在盘旋着他为自己和经验丰富的人想象的所有身份,医学生、医生,以及现在的战时学生。

But I noticed there was one word he wasn't using.

但我注意到他没有使用一个词。

These are the feelings I don't want to have.

这些是我不想有的感觉。

[LAUGHS] Even when you say me as a refugee, I was trying to dodge it, to be honest, yes.

[笑]即使你说我是难民,我也试图回避,说实话,是的。

My friend told me, well, bro, we are now refugees, like when we came here.

我的朋友告诉我,好吧,兄弟,我们现在是难民,就像我们刚来这里时一样。

I said, no, bro, maybe you, not me.

我说,不,兄弟,也许是你,而不是我。

[LAUGHTER] Alexis Okeowo But why do you not feel like a refugee?

[笑声] Alexis Okeowo 但你为什么不觉得自己像个难民呢?

I don't want to feel like [LAUGHS] a refugee.

我不想感觉自己像个难民[笑]。

[LAUGHTER] Alexis Okeowo Right.

[笑声] 亚历克西斯·奥克沃 (Alexis Okeowo) 是的。

You don't want to.

你不想。

But what if I don't want to be a refugee and I want to stay in the country?

但是,如果我不想成为难民并且想留在该国怎么办?

Ah.

啊。

Yeah.

是的。

That's what we cannot control.

这是我们无法控制的。

These students are different than Ukrainian refugees.

这些学生与乌克兰难民不同。

They still have homes in Nigeria to which they can return, but going back would be going backwards for them.

他们在尼日利亚仍有家园可以返回,但返回对他们来说就意味着倒退。

It would be giving up on how far they've come, so they're fighting to protect their identity as students and as people worthy of respect and dignity.

这将是放弃他们已经取得的进步,因此他们正在努力保护自己作为学生和值得尊重和尊严的人的身份。

But as Black people displaced by war, even a European one, they have lost all of that.

但随着黑人因战争而流离失所,即使是欧洲战争,他们也失去了这一切。

One of the Russians that she'd been talking to about this is Alyona, a 25-year-old protester who lives in Moscow, who's been trying to make sense out of one of her oldest friendships.

与她谈论此事的俄罗斯人之一是阿廖娜 (Alyona),她是一位住在莫斯科的 25 岁抗议者,她一直试图从她最古老的友谊之一中理清思路。

Because it's so sensitive to speak about the war in Russia right now, we have changed some of the names in this story.

So we would steal apples from the neighbors, went out to beat the grass with sticks, rode our bikes a lot, I don't know, tease the goat, stuff like that.

So could you explain beating the grass with sticks?

I don't totally understand.

我完全不明白。

Well, when the grass grows really tall in the field, we would just go out into the field and hit the grass with our sticks.

好吧,当田野里的草长得很高时,我们就会走到田野里,用棍子敲打草。

I'm sure that somewhere out in the farms where you are, children do the exact same thing.

我确信在你所在的农场的某个地方,孩子们也会做同样的事情。

As they grew up and spread out across the country, Alyona to college, Oleg to the military academy, they stayed really close.

Alyona thought about becoming a doctor in the military, and she thinks this is one reason Oleg joined the army.

She was hitchhiking with a friend, talking to a lot of Crimeans, and the story they told was completely different from what she knew.

她和一个朋友搭便车,和很多克里米亚人交谈,他们讲述的故事与她所知道的完全不同。

The annexation had been awful.

阿廖娜的朋友向她询问他 2014 年在俄罗斯看到的一些涂鸦,上面写着“克里米亚是我们的”。

And she started literally yelling [LAUGHS] at us, being like, what do you mean, Crimea is yours, when it's ours?

她开始对我们大喊[笑],就像,你是什么意思,克里米亚是你的,而它是我们的?

It belongs to the people who actually live there.

And that made a really big impression on me.

这给我留下了非常深刻的印象。

I came away with the sense that I had made a huge mistake and that I had been thinking really wrongly for a really long time.

When she came back from Crimea, she started going to protests against the government.

And hearing about how Putin came to power, about the crimes his government had committed, her entire worldview changed, and she wanted to tell everyone.

And now that I had my eyes open, I wanted everyone else in the world to open their eyes, too.

But he knows through Alyona that we're telling it, and he told her he's OK with it.

但他通过阿廖娜知道我们正在告诉她,他告诉她他对此表示同意。

Alyona would talk about her changing politics, and Oleg would disagree, but it never felt like a big deal until this year.

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN] Bela Shayevich I was like, promise me that you're not going to go fight in this war.

She can't change it.

But that evening, as the reality of what's happening settles in, that there's no way Oleg can go to war and not harm someone, Alyona swings back into a state of impotence and rage.

但那天晚上,随着现实发生的事情的发生,奥列格不可能在不伤害别人的情况下发动战争,阿廖娜又陷入了无能为力和愤怒的状态。

I got so wasted that night at a bar that I was probably screaming loud enough for everybody in the bar to hear me that my friend was going to go fight in this war, and it would be better if he just died in it.

那天晚上我在一家酒吧喝得烂醉如泥,我可能大声尖叫,让酒吧里的每个人都能听到我的声音,我的朋友要去参加这场战争,如果他死在这场战争中会更好。

Because if he doesn't die, he'll come back, and I'll know that he's a murderer.

因为如果他不死,他就会回来,我就会知道他是杀人犯。

This was two weeks after he'd left, and Alyona's relieved just to hear his voice again.

All that anger that she'd felt so intensely towards him, in that moment, disappeared.

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN] Bela Shayevich What was going through their heads, that they could have done that?

[俄语] 贝拉·沙耶维奇 (Bela Shayevich) 他们脑子里在想什么,竟然能这么做?

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN] Bela Shayevich It's unbearable to even think about how you're the same species as people who are capable of doing something like that.

[俄语] Bela Shayevich 一想到你和有能力做这样事情的人是同一物种,就让人难以忍受。

And when you saw it, when you heard about it, did you think about Oleg?

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN] Ashley Cleek After Bucha, Alyona says, it was harder to talk to Oleg.

当我向奥列格询问布查的情况时,他立即告诉我,这是一面假旗,是乌克兰军队自己干的,只是一直说并且仍在说布查是假的,而且他所在的地方也没有发生过类似的事情。

He had recently told her how he had heard of a soldier committing crimes against civilians, and now here he was, parroting the government's propaganda.

That thing she used to love about him, his refusal to be bothered by anything, it now made her sick.

她曾经喜欢他的这一点,他拒绝被任何事情打扰,现在却让她感到恶心。

As Alyona tells me about this conversation, though, I could hear her softening, giving him the benefit of the doubt, the benefit of friendship.

然而,当阿廖娜向我讲述这次谈话时,我能听到她的态度软化了,让他从怀疑中受益,从友谊中受益。

Part of her would really like to imagine that maybe Oleg doesn't even believe what he's saying to her, but that he has to say it.

她的一部分真的很想想象也许奥列格甚至不相信他对她说的话,但他必须说出来。

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN] Bela Shayevich It's very possible that he's just telling me what they tell him to tell people.

[说俄语] Bela Shayevich 他很可能只是告诉我他们告诉他要告诉人们的事情。

Their friendship used to be so easy.

他们的友谊曾经是那么的简单。

Now it has the weight of a war attached to it.

现在它有了战争的分量。

I don't know if it survives this.

我不知道它是否能幸存下来。

It seems like, despite all of Alyona's efforts, there's been an irreversible change.

尽管阿廖娜付出了一切努力,但似乎已经发生了不可逆转的变化。

But Alyona is pushing back against it.

但阿廖娜对此表示反对。

She's holding onto this imaginary future where Oleg will come back a different person, that he'll grow to see things more her way, less like that of a dutiful, party-line soldier, maybe go to therapy.

她坚信着这样一个想象中的未来:奥列格回来后会变成一个不同的人,他会越来越以她的方式看待事物,而不是像一个尽职尽责、遵循党派路线的士兵,也许会去接受治疗。

And that's what I'm invested in, and that's why I'm continuing my relationship with him.

这就是我所投入的,也是我继续与他保持关系的原因。

And what if he doesn't become that kind of person?

如果他没有成为那样的人怎么办?

Well, I am not going to give up, or let me put it like this.

好吧,我不会放弃,或者让我这样说吧。

If I start thinking about how the war is not going to end, how Russia's not going to retreat from Ukraine, how people are never going to face up to what they've done and acknowledge their mistakes, I'm not going to be able to function.

如果我开始思考战争如何不会结束,俄罗斯如何不会从乌克兰撤退,人们如何永远不会正视他们所做的事情并承认他们的错误,我将无法正常工作。

And so I can't think that way.

所以我不能那样想。

Alyona just got news that Oleg's been sent back into Ukraine.

阿廖娜刚刚得到消息称奥列格已被送回乌克兰。

When he returns from the war, though, she's determined to stay his friend.

然而,当他从战争中归来时,她决心继续做他的朋友。

And then she hopes someday, maybe in 20 or 30 years, they'll finally be able to talk about what really happened in the war.

然后她希望有一天,也许在 20 或 30 年后,他们最终能够谈论战争中到底发生了什么。
