Don't I make you stay in the room?” “怎么了？我不是让你在房间里呆着吗？” „I should go to school.” “我该去上学了。” The daughter unparalleled Ma's facial expression somewhat hesitates. 女儿盖世玛的神情有些犹豫。 From father's mouth she had clearly known the risk of present situation, but, she is still not actually able to resist the impulsion that must go to school. 从父亲的口中她已经清楚地知道了现在情况的危险性,但是,她却仍然无法抵御要去上学的冲动。 In the short two weeks of time of school, she already learns many words, to experience many her never to experience the thing, but these things, almost it can be said that shoved open leaf of a front door that for her moves into the brand-new world. 在学校的短暂的两周时间里,她已经学会了许多单词、见识到了许多她从未见识过的东西,而这些东西,几乎可以说是为她推开了一扇走向崭新的世界的大门。 Yes, just like the father said that went to school with has not gone to school, the seen thing is completely different. 是的,正如父亲所说的一样,上过学和没上过学,看到的东西是完全不一样的。 This is she, is her respective family, changes destiny only opportunity, spent whole family entire one year of living expenses, uncertain hope that trades. 这是她、也是她所属的家庭,去改变命运的唯一机会,也是花费了全家人整整一年的生活费,才换回来的渺茫的希望。 She is not willing to be disillusioned absolutely like this ---- Even if she knows, went out at the present this kind of time, oneself likely did not come back. 她绝对不愿意这样的希望就此破灭----哪怕她知道,在现在这种时候出门,自己很可能都回不来。 Hears the unparalleled Ma's words, Kersh's expression is more painful. 听到盖世玛的话,瑞克什的表情更加痛苦。 He is unable to comfort the daughter saying that chaotic quick will pass, because he himself is unparalleled Ma to know, such confusion, before the next grain harvests, will be will not terminate absolutely. 他无法去安慰女儿说混乱很快就会过去,因为无论是他自己还是盖世玛都知道,这样的混乱,在下一次粮食收获前,是绝对不会终止的。 After thinking deeply about the moment, he says: 思索了片刻后,他开口说道: „Now you cannot go to school. Unparalleled Ma, I understands your idea, but, now is not the time.” “现在你不能去上学。盖世玛,我明白你的想法,但是,现在不是时候。” „You want to go to school, want to read your book, wants to study the new thing, this is very good, but, you must first live.” “你想要上学,想要去看你的书,想要学新的东西,这很好,但是,你得先活着。” „The guard in school will not compare our family/home to be stronger, but the grain in school are certainly more than our family/home, therefore, that is a dangerous place.” “学校的守卫不会比我们家更强,但学校里的粮食一定比我们家更多,所以,那是一个危险的地方。” „After and other grain of neighbor were snatched, they will start to begin to snatch the grain of school ---- The matter of Omagh uncle family/home did you know? They will not let off your such little girl, do you understand?” “等我们邻居的粮食都被抢完之后,他们就会开始动手去抢学校的粮食----奥玛叔叔家的事情你都知道了吧？他们不会放过你这样一个小女孩的,你明白吗？” Unparalleled Ma also wanted to say anything, but after she opens mouth, anything had not said. 盖世玛还想要说什么,但她张了张嘴之后,却什么也没说。 She nods cleverly, then turns around to return to the room, arrives at mother's side to sit down on the ground. 她只是乖巧地点了点头,便转身回到屋里,走到母亲的身边席地坐下。 The fire on crude top has risen, outside the fragrance that to avoid food sends out attracts the hungry villagers, many days ago starts, their only living expenses water boiled potato ---- The only seasoning is places the broken salt and hot pepper in tray. 简陋的灶台上的火已经升起来了,为了避免食物散发出的香味引来外面饥饿的村民,从许多天之前开始,他们就只吃用水煮熟的土豆----唯一的调料就是放在盘子里的碎盐和辣椒。 Even if these food place this national poorest area, truly is not what luxurious food, may in the present this time, potato, under some extreme scene, even can claim a human life. 这些食物哪怕放在这个国家最贫苦的地区,也确实算不上什么奢侈的食物,可在现在这个时间,一个土豆,在某种极端的场景下,甚至就能带走一条人命。 The world has been similar to the purgatory. 人间已经如同炼狱。 Kersh still stared at out of the door anxiously, the day has been getting dark gradually, the wife putting the cool potato installs in the tray gives him, his several swallow one greedily, later returns to another stopper wife's hand. 瑞克什仍然紧张地盯着门外,天已经渐渐黑了下来,妻子把放凉的土豆装在盘子里递给他,他狼吞虎咽地几口吞下一个,随后把另一个塞回妻子的手里。 „Eats one again, you had sat for day......” “再吃一个吧,你已经坐了一天了......” The wife says temperately. 妻子温和地开口说道。 Kersh shakes the head, replied: 瑞克什摇了摇头,回答道: „It is not good, I will be unedible, I must go out tomorrow fetch water, I must appear by myself hungry......” “不行,我不能吃,明天我还要出门打水,我必须让自己显得饥饿......” However, his words have not said, on crack in a door outside path, outbreak made his virgin hole shrink the tight change suddenly. 然而,他的话还没有说完,门缝外面的道路上,却突然发生了一些让他童孔骤然缩紧的变化。 One group of people appeared in the end of path, in these manpower takes the chopper and club, the pushing crowded jostlingly is walking in own direction. 一群人出现在了道路的尽头,那些人手里拿着砍刀和棍棒、正挤挤挨挨地向着自己家的方向走来。 „Goes to the basement quickly!” “快去地下室！” Kersh shouts anxiously. 瑞克什焦急地喊道。 Hears his words, the wife tidies up food round trip that had not finished eating to walk immediately, while she lifts the secret door preparation of basement walks downward, Kersh suddenly stopped by calling out her, then opens the mouth saying: 听到他的话,妻子立刻收拾起还没有吃完的食物往回走去,正当她掀开地下室的暗门准备向下走的时候,瑞克什突然叫住了她,然后开口道: „Leaves behind that potato, gets down your tray belts!” “把那个土豆留下,把你们的盘子都带下去！” At this moment, his mind unprecedented clear, he had even estimated that a while when facing opposite party's interrogation, how oneself must compile wife and daughters to pack off, but before oneself depend on, lie that food that snatches lives on dishonorably reluctantly. 这一刻,他的头脑前所未有的清晰,他甚至已经预想好了一会儿在面对对方的审问时,自己要怎么去编造一个妻女已经被送走,而自己靠着之前抢来的食物勉强苟活的谎言。 After closing the secret door of basement, his hands and feet made final cover with the earth deftly, later then sits to outside the room, the body by the wall, starts to taste that remaining potato carefully. 合上地下室的暗门后,他手脚麻利地用土做了最后的掩盖,随后便坐到在屋外,身体靠在墙上,开始细细地品尝那个剩下的土豆。 This potato, will become a part that he plans. 这个土豆,将会成为他计划的一部分。 After finishing eating half, out of the door has resounded the sound that the crowd has made noise, his palm slightly some perspiration, but the weak sitting posture has not actually changed slightly. 吃完一半后,门外已经响起了人群喧闹的声音,他的手心略微有些出汗,但瘫软的坐姿却丝毫没有改变。 One minute. 一分钟。 He heard the sound that the gate of neighbor family/home was trampled, to hear the squeal of making a tearful scene and woman of child, and club strokes depressed the sound on human body. 他听到了邻居家的门被踹开的声音、听到了小孩的哭闹、妇人的尖叫声、以及棍棒击打在人体上的沉闷的声响。 Five minutes, the grabbed crowd erupts one to cheer, later cursed. 五分钟,劫掠的人群爆发出一阵欢呼,随后还有咒骂。 10 minutes, the chaotic sound approached his entrance again. 十分钟,混乱的声音再一次靠近了他的门口。 Afterward, does not calculate the solid front gate, was trampled courageous! 随后,本就不算结实的院门,被人勐地踹开！
