我为什么要翻译这个文章,现转贴英文全文

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛以前有人曾问可否有类似的英语本地的论坛,想了解他们在关心什么,实际上大多地区也有,主要的形式大概是email或MSN转发,在办公室里大约热点的帖子要达到2000多次转发,有的要达到5000多次,其中有的还要在办公楼内的局域网内转发
例如记得有一次号召一天不加油,抵制高价,转发5500多次,加上公司内部转发
应该达到3万人以上。我翻译的这个小文章来自MSN,转发,大概是属于热点了。
开始我感到奇怪的是,我们的IT经理转发给我们大家的,他大概从来也没有发过
这种内容,以免大家无限制的上网。

没有人支持战争,但这次是恐怖分子向全世界宣战,加拿大别无选择,只得迎战
阿富汗没有石油,没有财富,加拿大出兵仅仅是为了保卫自己,支持正义,那些
机场的士兵是为了加拿大人民去战斗,我们是移民,不可能参与国策和出征,但
至少还应该有主持正义的勇气和看法。在机场发生的故事放映了真实的加拿大的
人民,这种文化和观念保证了不会出现几百人围观一个落水的妇女而见死不救的
现象出现。我基本上照原文翻译,仅仅改动了几个字,水平不高,请大家指教

  • 枫下茶话 / 社会 / 在机场看到的漂亮,纯真的加拿大小女孩,让人终生难忘的故事
    本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛上个星期,我出差到安省的一个小镇去开会,这个小镇在多伦多的东面去金斯顿的
    路上,大约100多公里远,名字叫trenton,小镇很小没有什么可转的地方。开完会
    回家,在机场的通道上,我听到有10多个人在我的身后突然鼓起掌来,还大声地欢
    呼着什么,我马上转回去也为围过去看,没有想到却看到了让人久久难忘的情景,
    就像看了一次爱国广告的电影大片。
    在机场的通道里走过了一队戎装的加拿大士兵,他们都身穿着迷彩服大约有30多人
    马上就要通过机场的安全门了,每个士兵都用力地向大家挥着手再见,围观的人群
    也大声地鼓掌欢呼着,这情景感染了我,我也跟着鼓掌。实际上我已经不是那种热
    血青年,就像有些加拿大人那么热爱加拿大,支持加拿大军队到阿富汗去打仗,甚
    至支持他们的亲人也去阿富汗。不知道为什么在那个环境下,才几分钟,我也变得
    狂热起来,是呀我们加拿大就是伟大,只有同意出兵,总要有人冒着生命危险为了
    加拿大,为了我们去战斗。
    就在这个时候,一个小女孩大概有6,7岁的样子,她有金色的卷发,穿着白色
    的连衣裙,样子非常可爱,她走到一个士兵跟前,那个士兵大约20岁出头,属于那
    种很英俊的白人小伙,小伙子跪在小女孩前面,笑着对她说,HI!,小女孩慢慢地
    对那个士兵说,可否给她爸爸带了一个礼物?突然,小女孩伸出双手抱住了这个士
    兵的脖子,深深的亲吻着这个士兵的脸,大概是这个小伙子面上还有胡子,小女孩
    又改成了亲吻小伙子的脖子。小女孩的母亲对这个小伙子解释说,小女孩的名字叫
    考特尼,她丈夫是一个下士,已经去阿富汗5个多月了,接着,小女孩的母亲讲着
    每天里,小女孩是多么想念着她的爸爸,再看这个年轻小伙子已经是泪流满面了,
    这个年轻的母亲还是对围过来的士兵反复讲着小女孩每日里想念爸爸的故事,一时
    间大家都安静了,这些士兵都把小女孩抱着,亲着。可以看出每个人都不是一般的
    激动。一个军官走过来,他从口袋掏出一个像手机大小的小机器,我知道那是军用
    对讲器,可以通过卫星直接在全世界用的,他拿着对讲器,大约交涉了2,3分钟,
    走到小女孩考特尼跟前,也跪在地毯上说,我刚刚和你爸爸通过话,他让我交给你
    这个,接着军官就抱着小女孩,亲吻着小女孩的脸颊。然后告诉考特尼,你爸爸说
    在这个世界上他最爱的就是你,他马上就要出家和你在一起了。
    这个时候年轻的母亲已经泣不成声了,几乎不能控制自己了,全体士兵都整好
    队伍,全体士兵在军官的指挥下,向那个小女孩和她的母亲行军礼致敬,然后他们
    出发了通过了机场安全门,围观的人群又一次大声地鼓掌,欢呼着欢送他们。我回
    头看看人群,大家的眼里都闪着泪花,当然我也不例外。那个和小女孩亲吻的士兵
    在通过安全门时,回过头来,挥手给小女孩一个飞吻,他还在流着泪。
    让我们记住这些士兵,他们是为了我们,为了加拿大,愿上帝保佑他们平安返回更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
    • nice story.
      • Ding, Ding
      • 深切怀念那些在朝鲜战场上为国捐躯的志愿军战士,他们的敌人就包含加拿大军人
    • ??咋没人顶一下呀,顶!
    • 感动ing................世界上最最可贵的就是这种真情了...........
    • 从人性角度,这确实是个很感人的故事.但从政治角度,加拿大出兵阿富汗没有任何道义可言.老百姓不应为了政客而战.
      • 是啊,感性往往会被政治家所利用。只有孩子的眼光是最纯洁的。
        • 是啊. 只有眼睛最真 !
          • 如果,一见到战争就不分青红皂白的予以斥责,这个世界造就被Hiltlor等邪恶势力统治了, 中国在珍宝岛事件后说不不定早就被北极熊灭了,要不是美国暗中帮忙! 家庭暴力按此逻辑外界一概也就不能管了?
            • 这世界上绝大多数事情是绝对地相对的,特别是各种观点的正确性会随时因条件的改变而改变。
    • 然后告诉考特尼,你爸爸说在这个世界上他最爱的就是你,他马上就要出家和你在一起了。?? 出家当和尚?才能和他女儿在一起??
      • 肯定是回家啊....................非要在这里挑,唉
        • 晕,好快回复,刚刚一分钟都不到
        • 那我也挑一个啊:“小女孩的母亲对这个小伙子解释说,小女孩的名字叫 考特尼,她丈夫是一个下士,。。。”我差点折一倒立。哈哈。。。
    • 去佛罗里达Seaworld Orlando看表演,等待观众入场的时候大屏幕上放了些美国大兵的镜头,没想到全体起立鼓掌,这真是没有人组织,没有人导演的啊,全是自发的。咱先不说政治上的东西,光这些就让人不得不感叹!
      • 美国洗脑更彻底
        • 被洗惯了吧?
        • 美国洗脑更高明
        • 你们这样无味的争论没多大建设成果。 辩论不是这样辨的,首先你们对洗脑的定义要达成共识, 然后再深入探讨
    • 记住个P! 我可不认为他们跑阿富汗是为加拿大干什么去了。到底为谁打仗就不追究了,就那破素质,跑个龙套都丢人现眼。不是被“盟军”炸死炸伤,就是自己走火伤自己,知道昨天上帝是怎么保佑他们的吗?
      • 我不明白你为什么要呆在这个国家,如果这里没有什么值得你骄傲的.通过这篇文章我看到是人性的光辉.你可以讨厌政治,我觉得你没有必要把人性和政治混在一起. 既然在这里,就试着去热爱这个国家.
        • 都沒必要上綱上綫。呆在這個國家並不一定要這個國家的一切都熱愛。我呆在加拿大只是喜歡這裡的環境。要說加拿大跑阿富汗去,真的是吃力不討好
          • 对对,反对加拿大出兵都已经成了大选话题了,难道还要楼上的那位来告诉我们应该听总理的吗?典型的flg,精英们的逻辑-中国什么都坏,好的只有西方世界
        • 你这种心理的人当然没法明白。你看不看各级议会对国家政策出台前的辩论?估计你看几次就更不明白了。怎么那里的人们比我这种“不热爱加拿大”的态度更有过之而无不及。
      • 加拿大的军事就这么回事,地球人都知道,话说回来,一个强国没有军事力量是不行的,我支持加拿大适当发展军事。
      • 加拿大军队的狙击手还是不错的,目前世界纪录还是他们创造的,1845m,一枪中弹
    • 文章写得真好。但不象真事。就算加拿大军队很水,也不能在2-3分钟内就找到远在阿富汗的一个下士(几乎最低军衔的小兵),何况战场上可不能随便找人的。
      说句不中听的,就算确认这个士兵的身份和岗位也得个3-、5分钟吧?你能指望加拿大士兵到了阿富汗效率就倍增了?

      作者的文章立意很美,文笔也好,但绝对不会是真实经历。欢迎拍砖!
      • 那个军官显然是哄小女孩的, "2,3分钟的交涉"可能实际上是在和别人联系,报告他们现在的情况.
        • 對, 嚴重懷疑作者聽力沒過關
      • 你的理解力低,这文章很明显暗示是那女孩的老爸已经牺牲了,大家都不愿把真相告诉给女孩罢了
        • 看来我的理解力确实低。。。怎么办?今晚注定沮丧失眠了
      • 这还看不出来,当然是哄她的了。否则还不把对讲机机给小女孩让她对话了?
    • 感动. 在华盛顿玩的时候曾经感受过美国人的爱国心. 其实爱自己的国家, 爱自己的民族是人类的基本情感, 不必宣传鼓动. 倒是我们这一代中国人在党八股宣传下, 爱国之心都变味了.
      • 拉倒吧! 美国人的宣传鼓动那才叫高呢..应该说我们这一代中国人都太聪明了
        • 是,是有太多小聪明,却没有了大智慧,就好像你:自以为看透了所有的崇高都是谎言,然后生怕吃亏,付出的哪怕是一点点感动也怕自己会上当。
          • 阁下是自作聪明的典型例证。我为崇高的东西而流泪的时候会多于你。但我会思考
          • 说得好!
      • 美国人爱国? 你就看着吧, 现在是大树底下好乘凉,到时候树倒猢狲散,散的比谁都快。
        • 散的比加拿大都快 ?
      • 在中国你要爱国必须先爱党,否则灭你没商量!这就是变味的地方.....
        • 所以在所有的党八股宣传中,"党"永远在"国家"前面,例如"党和国家领导人"....什么的,所以你不爱党就是不爱国,明白不?
    • Touching!谁也说不清楚战争的对错,每一个生命都是值得珍惜的。象圆桌骑士这样的人来加拿大干什么,生活在一个你都不热爱的国家,多可悲。
      • 正是因为爱国,所以才希望加拿大就真正像样的军队,而不是现在这样跑龙套作秀的东西。
      • 我来这里是为要与所有先后期来这的各国移民一样当家做主人来的。既然是主人,我眼里就揉不得“沙子”,看到不让咱们大家喜欢的事就不能沉默,更不能像个消极的土鳖一走了之。要不怎么叫主人呐。
      • Do you like your MP?
        Do you like your MP? You don't? How come?
        He is supported by most of your neighbors! Are you sure you don’t?! Why you came to Canada?! Just a second, you do? Um, that’s better.

        Do you like the PM of Canada? You don't? How dare you?
        He is supported by more MPs than anybody else! Are you sure?! Why you came to Canada then?! I am sorry, you do? Now that’s better.

        … Why you MP don’t like the PM? You don’t know? Why you came to Canada?!

        I like Canadian being sent over to Afghanistan.
        Why I came here? Uh, I performed as handsome as George W Bush on IQ test :)
    • 感动.
    • 感动。
    • 这个作者显然没有去过Trenton的airport.商用飞机是不会飞到那个地方的。军用飞机起飞不会在民用机场。
      那地方是有一个航空博物馆,但是不意味着加拿大军队会从那出发,加拿大军队大部分乘飞机出发的是edmonton,所有去往阿富汗的军队都在那里集结,然后出发。
      • 读者文摘式的文章。。。:-),
      • 所以我说这篇文章写得很好,但却没有事实基础。
    • 很感人的故事,但是我就不喜欢他们派兵去别的国家。
      • 就是。加军去了朝鲜,怎么也觉得那罂粟花戴着别扭
    • 不知为什么,最近看加军觉得英武了很多.可能是加军在阿富汗打了几个硬碰硬的仗.以前总觉得他们是摆设.
      • 二战,韩战,加拿大都参与了,而且是硬仗,还有很多的海外维和. .逼近,加拿大是个人口小国,已很不错了. 中国确实要找点小仗练练,否则武功全费了. 这个已在中俄联合演习中反映出来.完全是作秀式作战
        • 不是在准备拿台湾开练吗
        • 加军在十多年前还是不错的.可惜自油党上台后,一心要把加拿大变成人见人爱的乖男孩.不但大砍军费, 还裁军.包括砍掉加拿大唯一的快速反应部队,精锐的伞兵旅,以几个士兵在索马里的不轨行为为由.
    • A quite rare touching story. I don't feel it was a fabricated, it is very close to the real life, if it is fabricated - just in case a good writer catched our true feelings. Thanks for your publishing.
      • Extremely well said! Actually, from many positive responses here, one can conclude that many rolians share the same sentiment with mainstream people: family value, honor, duty and country.
    • 我为什么要翻译这个文章,现转贴英文全文

      • Next time, please do make it clear in the title that you are not the author. Thank you.
      • 小姑娘给她父亲的礼物是一个拥抱和”butterfly kiss”, 不知中文中有没有和” butterfly kiss”对应的词?
      • 你翻译得不错, 我也是读完泪流满面。
    • 看了几行就看不下去了,不过但看你的标题,就知道不是一个诚实君子所写,这么快就说“终生难忘”,那你终生难忘的事情也太多了吧,你或许有一个超级脑袋吧?
    • 这个玩笑一点儿都不乐
    • 加拿大士兵是美国佬的替死鬼。不过话说回来,这个场景和故事,还是很感人的。。。555。。。
    • 感觉作者有点象倪萍,跑这儿来一把鼻涕一把泪的煽情来了。可惜太过火了,变成了倪萍一样的假惺惺!
