過去簡單式

而我在嬰兒時期就從飛機失事中倖存了下來。

I was born at the end of the Vietnam War,

我是在越南戰爭結束時出生的。

so I don't really know exactly when I was born.

所以，我真的不知道我到底是什麼時候出生的。

Americans know that there were 56,000 G.I deaths in the war,

美國人知道，在戰爭中，有56000名G. I. 死亡。

But what the Americans don't talked about

as 3 million Vietnamese killed in the war.

作為300萬越南人在戰爭中死亡。

As a result of that, there was as many as a million orphans,

so I always knew it was Sancta Maria Orphanage in Saigon,

所以我一直都知道那是西貢的聖母瑪利亞孤兒院。

However, because I don't speak Vietnamese,

I never really knew what the names meant.

我一直不知道這些名字是什麼意思。

she told me that 90% of the children died in my orphanage,

她告訴我，90%的孩子都死在我的孤兒院裡。

and in fact, we didn't even have enough diapers,

事實上，我們甚至沒有足夠的尿布。

so they put us in buckets for most of the day.

所以他們把我們在桶 一天的大部分時間。

was that every orphan was loved in the orphanage

是每一個孤兒在孤兒院裡都得到了愛。

and it's something I always remember that she told me.

我一直記得她跟我說過這句話。

and the Americans weren't gonna fight anymore,

to get money for what's called Operation Babylift.

為所謂的 "嬰兒提籃行動 "籌集資金。

Operation Babylift was a series of airlifts in April 1975.

1975年4月的 "嬰兒電梯行動 "是一系列的空運。

It brought 3300 Vietnamese orphaned children

to countries like the USA, Australia, Canada and France,

到美國、澳洲、加拿大和法國等國家。

although the official Number says 3300 children,

This was an evacuation at the end of the war

這是在戰爭結束時的一次撤離。

for whatever reason I was put on the first plane out

不知什麼原因，我被安排在第一架飛機上離開了

it was the largest airplane in the world,

the really big cargo planes, the one you see in the movies,

真正的大貨機，你在電影裡看到的那種。

because I was a baby, they put me in a shoe box

因為我是一個嬰兒，他們把我放在一個鞋盒裡。

and they put that on the airplane passenger seat,

他們把這個放在飛機的副駕駛座上。

Our plane took off from Tan Son Nhut Airport,

我們的飛機從Tan Son Nhut機場起飛。

about 280 passengers and 30 crew members.

and all the people in the lower half of the plane

和所有的人在飛機的下半部分。

Because I was young I was in the upper half of the plane

因為我年輕，我在飛機的上半部分。

After we lost power, the pilots tried to regain control,

在我們失去動力後，飛行員試圖重新獲得控制。

and so they ended up speeding up the plane

所以他們最終加快了飛機的速度。

and they turned around and crashed into a rice field.

The plane skidded for about quarter of a mile

飛機滑行了大約四分之一英里。

and skipped up back in the air and then crashed into a dike.

並在空中迴旋跳起，然後墜入堤壩。

We were full of fuel and the plane exploded into four parts

我們當時燃料滿了，飛機爆炸成了四部分。

The plane was about a mile from the road,

so when the Americans sent in the rescue Jeeps,

所以當美國人派來救援的吉普車時。

they had to walk really far across the rice field,

and the helicopters arrived, but they couldn't land,

直升機也到了，但他們無法降落。

there was just smoke and fire everywhere,

they would lower one rescue worker at a time,

他們會一次降低一個救援人員。

rescue one person and bring them back up in the basket.

救出一個人，然後把他們帶回籃子裡。

But because the rescue operation was slow,

but either burn to death or drown in the mud.

但要麼被燒死，要麼被淹死在泥裡。

大約有176人在這次事故中倖存。

and about 138 children and crew members were lost.

in Defense Intelligence Agency history, until 9/11.

在國防情報局的歷史上，直到911事件。

even though I was here, I still didn't have a country,

即使我在這裡，我還是沒有國家。

so it was actually really difficult to prove that I existed.

所以要證明我的存在其實真的很難。

All I had was my little three by five card

我只有我那張三乘五的小卡片。

that said I was from Sancta Maria Orphanage.

and I actually don't even know how old I am,
