昨天睡觉前听了This American Life的这集播客,真的百感交集啊。
讲的是过去一年半纽约市“收留”的15万难民。对于这件事,我知道很多人是抱着看笑话的态度的,右派看左派的笑话:看把难民送到你们蓝州来,你们吃不吃得消。
我虽然没有到看笑话的程度,但其实内心也觉得纽约在做表态之前,确实可以亲自感受一下难民可能带来的各种问题,不然问题不在家门口,未免显得“站着说话不腰疼”。
但听了这一期我真的好感动啊。也不是说听了这一期就觉得美国应该打开边境,全面放开接纳undocumented immigrants. 但放到个人层面看的时候,真是觉得很多人好善良啊!
比如故事里有去欢迎这些难民的人,她告诉他们:And then we tell them, listen, this is a country of immigrants. I am an immigrant. I am from Africa. I am from Guinea. I'm an immigrant just like you. I made it, and you will make it. It's not easy in the beginning, but it will get better. You're welcome here. No matter what anybody tells you, you have rights. Practice those rights. If you don't know what they are, we will tell you what they are. And then, we let them out.
纽约的公立学校也接收了这些孩子。有学校的心理老师说,有孩子在厕所里躲着哭,但孩子只会说西班牙语,他只会说英语。老师觉得特别对不起孩子,觉得failling them. 也有小朋友表示,虽然语言不通,但还是喜欢新环境,因为在委内瑞拉她以前的学校,她被霸凌得很惨。
真的,现实太复杂太残酷了。这个问题,纽约的善意也解决不了。

从不获胜的人很少失败,从不攀登的人很少跌跤,要想知道成功的滋味,就得少言多行,决而不断,断而不行,必然贻误时机。
Only the road is right, do not be afraid of it is short or distant, because you will eventually arrive. 只要路是对的,就不要害怕它是短暂还是遥远,因为你终究会到达。

踏入社会,我渐渐明白,爱情不是儿戏。每天看着一对原本幸福的家庭分崩离析,我才明白,婚姻不是儿戏,不是两个人一时的一厢情愿,不是一时的冲动,而是一种相互的支持和陪伴。
Stepping into society, I gradually understand that love is not a child's play. Watching a pair of originally happy families fall apart every day, I realize that marriage is not a child's play, not a momentary wishful thinking of two people, not a momentary impulse, but a mutual support and companionship.
