Stanford Sexual Assault 斯坦福校园性侵案
My independence, natural joy, gentleness, and steady lifestyle I had been enjoying became distorted beyond recognition. I became closed off, angry, self deprecating, tired, irritable, empty. The isolation at times was unbearable. You cannot give me back the life I had before that night either. While you worry about your shattered reputation, I refrigerated spoons every night so when I woke up, and my eyes were puffy from crying, I would hold the spoons to my eyes to lessen the swelling so that I could see. I showed up an hour late to work every morning, excused myself to cry in the stairwells, I can tell you all the best places in that building to cry where no one can hear you. The pain became so bad that I had to explain the private details to my boss to let her know why I was leaving. I needed time because continuing day to day was not possible. I used my savings to go as far away as I could possibly be. I did not return to work full time as I knew I’d have to take weeks off in the future for the hearing and trial, that were constantly being rescheduled. My life was put on hold for over a year, my structure had collapsed.
我曾经享受过的独立、愉悦、平和以及安稳的生活已经被拉扯得自己都认不出。我变得封闭、狂躁、自我否定、疲惫、易怒、消沉。那种孤独无法承受,你不可能给回那晚之前我有过的生活。当你在担心你受损的名誉时,我每晚睡觉前都把勺子放进冰箱里,第二天取出放在眼睛上缓解眼皮肿胀,然后才能睁开眼睛。我每天上班都会晚到一个小时,让我可以在楼梯间哭泣。那栋办公楼里每一个不会被别人听到哭声的地方我都能指出来给你。最痛心的是我不得不事无巨细地向我的老板解释,让她明白我为什么要辞职。我需要时间因为这样下去不是办法。我用我的积蓄去到尽可能远的地方。我没有继续全职工作,因为我知道不断更改日期的各种听证会及审判将占用我数周的时间。我的生活就这样暂停了一年,我的人生支离破碎。(注:该译文参考煎蛋网翻译,并进行了修改)

Obama in Hiroshima 奥巴马在广岛
President Obama's visit to Hiroshima comes almost 71 years after the conclusion of a world war that was fought and ended with tremendous sacrifice, huge casualties and immense devastation. Today, global nuclear arsenals are capable of destroying not only cities but also civilization itself. Albert Einstein’s prophesy bears repeating: "I do not know how the Third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they will use in the Fourth — rocks!"
在第二次世界大战结束71年后,奥巴马总统访问了广岛。现今,全球核武库不仅能摧毁所有城市,更能毁灭整个人类文明。爱因斯坦的预言反复提醒我们:”我不知道第三次世界大战用什么武器,但我知道第四次世界大战用的武器是石头!“
