轉承詞

So I started working with refugees because I wanted to make a difference,

因為想改變現況 我開始以幫助難民為業

and making a difference starts with telling their stories.

想讓現況開始改變 得先了解他們的故事

So when I meet refugees I always ask them questions.

所以 每當我與難民見面 總是會先問他們

Did the rest of your family make it out alive?

How are you coping in your life in exile?

But there's one question that always seems to me to be most revealing, and that is:

有個問題最能讓我了解他們 那就是

What was that most important thing that you had to take with you when the bombs were exploding in your town

城鎮受轟炸 武裝分子接近你家時

and the armed gangs were approaching your house?

he didn't hesitate when his life was in imminent danger.

He said, “I took my high school diploma because my life depended on it.”

他說 我的人生就靠這張畢業證書

And he would risk his life to get that diploma.

冒著生命危險也要拿到這張學歷

On his way to school, he would dodge snipers.

His classroom sometimes shook with the sound of bombs and shelling.

上課時 三不五時就能聽到炸彈與砲擊聲

Everyday I would say to him every morning

I would hug him as if it were for the last time.

but our determination to graduate is stronger than our fear.

但我們畢業的決心 比恐懼更強烈

But one day, the family got terrible news.

were murdered in their homes for refusing to leave their house.

因為拒絕離開房子 在家中被屠殺了

They left that day, right away, in their car,

Hany hidden in the back because they were facing checkpoints of menacing soldiers.

Hany躲在後車廂 躲避一道道危險軍人的檢查哨

And they would cross the border into Lebanon,

But they would begin a life of grueling hardship and monotony.

They had no choice but to build a shack on the side of a muddy field,

他們只能在泥地旁搭起簡陋棚屋

and this is Hany's brother Ashraf, who plays outside.

這是Hany的弟弟Ashraf 他正在外頭玩

And that day, they joined the biggest population of refugees in the world,

這天 他們加入了世上人口最多的難民族群

and there are 1 million Syrian refugees living there.

另外還有一百萬名敘利亞難民住在這裡

There's not a town, a city or a village that is not host to Syrian refugees.

沒有一個城鎮 村莊沒收容什葉派難民

This is generosity and humanity that is remarkable.

這種慷慨大方的人道主義值得表揚

Think about it this way, proportionately.

It would be as if the entire population of Germany, 80 million people,

would flee to the United States in just 3 years.

Half of the entire population of Syria is now uprooted,

most of them inside the country. Six and a half million people had fled for their lives.

國內大部分的人 650萬的人為了保命而逃亡

Over and well over 3 million people have crossed the borders

越過邊界的人口超過 甚至遠多於三百萬

and have found sanctuary in the neighboring countries,

and only a small proportion, as you see, have moved on to Europe.

half of all Syrian refugees are children.

It was just two hours after she had arrived after a long trek from Syria into Jordan.

兩個小時前 她才剛完成從什葉到約旦的長途旅行

is that only 20 percent of Syrian refugee children are in school in Lebanon.

黎巴嫩內 只有20%的難民孩童有去上學

And yet, Syrian refugee children, all refugee children tell us,

而且 全部的什葉難民孩童都跟我們說

education is the most important thing in their lives.

Because it allows them to think of their future rather than the nightmare of their past.

因為教育能讓他們想到未來 揮別過去的夢魘

It allows them to think of hope rather than hatred.

I'm reminded of a recent visit I took to a Syrian refugee camp in northern Iraq,

最近 我去過北伊拉克的什葉難民營

and I met this girl, and I thought, she's beautiful,

我遇見了這女孩 我覺得 她很美

and I went up to her and asked her, “Can I take your picture?”

我走上前 問她說: 可以為妳拍張照嗎?

because I think she must realize that she represents a lost generation of Syrian refugee children,

可能她知道 自己正代表什葉難民孩童這個失落的世代

utter destruction, buildings, industries,

by architects, by engineers, by electricians.

需要建築師 工程師 電器技師的幫忙

Communities will need teachers and lawyers

and politicians interested in reconciliation and not revenge.

還有訴求和解而非復仇的政治家

Shouldn't this be rebuilt by the people with the largest stake,

重建 不是該由最主要的利益關係者

Refugees have a lot of time to prepare for their return.

難民有很多時間來準備回歸家園

You might imagine that being a refugee is just a temporary state

the average time a refugee will spend in exile is 17 years.

Hany was into his second year in limbo when I went to visit him recently,

我最近去拜訪Hany時 他流亡第二年了

and we conducted our entire conversation in English,

which he confessed to me he learned from reading all of Dan Brown's novels

他對我招認 他的英文 是從丹布朗的小說學來的

We also spent some nice moments of laughter and fun with his beloved brother Ashraf.

我們也和他親愛的弟弟Ashraf愉快地聊了些天

But I'll never forget what he told me when we ended our conversation that day.

但我永遠忘不了那天談話結束後 他跟我說的話

“If I am not a student, I am nothing.”

如果我不是學生的話 就什麼也不是了

Hany is one of 50 million people uprooted in this world today.

Hany只是世上五千萬名離鄉背井的難民之一

Never have since World War II have so many people been forcibly displaced.

二次戰後以來 首次有這麼多人被迫離開家園

So while we're making sweeping progress in human health,

we are doing dangerously little to help the victims

但對於難民 我們的付出卻少得可憐
