伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中犧牲戰(zhàn)士寫(xiě)給兒子的信
To son, Cecil,
Just a quick note preface before I start in earnest. When I wrote this you were 8, still a littleboy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the War on Terrorism. On the11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have togo and I was filled with a deep senseof sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, Ilooked at your little faces and couldn’t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for youbecause I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my Dad, your GrandpaCawley, was sent to Vietnam during the War there. I remember how much I missed him, too.But now unfortunately I have come to realise just how rough it must have been for Grandpa tobe away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts andfeelings downfor you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time.There is no place I wouldrather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. Ihave known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have manymore years with you. If this doesn’t happen, then know that I love you more than words canexpress. If for some reason I don’t make it home, I will need you to take care of your littlesister and your Mom. You will be the Man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God willwatch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can allbetogether again.
All my love, Dad
(Two days after Cawley’s death, his last letter arrived at his family’s home in Utah. Written onthe packaging of an MRE Meal Ready to Eat, the US military’s frontline ration it consisted of amessage in Japanese to his wife and his final words to his children.)
Dear Cecil and Keiko,
Hi little guys. How are you? Daddy is fine. I miss you. Send me a letter okay. It will make mevery happy.I am proud of you. You are such good kids. I will see you again.
Love, Daddy -
給兒子塞西爾：
在正式開(kāi)始前先簡(jiǎn)單說(shuō)幾句。 當(dāng)我寫(xiě)這封信的時(shí)候，你才8歲，還是一個(gè)小男孩。2002年，我被征召在海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)服現(xiàn)役，參加反恐戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。2001年9月11日美國(guó)遭受襲擊之時(shí)，我便知道我終究是要走的，我為此感到深深的悲哀。那天晚上，當(dāng)你和惠子熟睡之際，我看著你們的小臉蛋，強(qiáng)忍著眼中的淚水。我知道接下來(lái)的日子對(duì)你們會(huì)是艱難的，因?yàn)槲乙灿羞^(guò)類(lèi)似的經(jīng)歷。當(dāng)我還是一個(gè)6歲的孩子的時(shí)候，我爸爸，也就是你們的爺爺考利，被派往越南參加那里的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。我還記得當(dāng)時(shí)我也是多么地想念他。然而不幸的是，現(xiàn)在我開(kāi)始體會(huì)到，你爺爺離開(kāi)自己的孩子們一年之久，該是多么痛苦的事情。想到這些，我打算把我的想法和感受給你和你妹妹寫(xiě)下來(lái)。我非常難過(guò)不得不離開(kāi)這么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。除了與你和惠子在一起，我哪兒也不愿去。你們倆是我生命中的光芒。你們倆來(lái)到這個(gè)世界后的這幾年，是我生命中最快樂(lè)的時(shí)光。我希望還可以和你們一起度過(guò)更多的歲月。如果事情沒(méi)能如此，我希望你們知道我對(duì)你們的愛(ài)無(wú)法言傳。如果因故我不能再回到家里，我需要你來(lái)照顧你妹妹和媽媽。你將是考利家族的男人。乖一點(diǎn)，我的孩子，如果上帝將我收回，他會(huì)照看你的。我會(huì)焦急地等待著我們?nèi)抑鼐鄣哪且惶臁?/p>
我全部的愛(ài)， 爸爸
(在考利陣亡后2天，他最后的家書(shū)到達(dá)了他在猶他州的家。信是寫(xiě)在美軍前線士兵配給的快餐包裝紙上的。信中有用日文寫(xiě)給妻子的留言，以及給孩子們的絕筆。)
親愛(ài)的塞西爾和惠子：
嗨，小家伙們。你們好嗎?爸爸很好。我想念你們。給我來(lái)封信好嗎?那會(huì)讓我非常開(kāi)心的。我為你們而自豪。你們都是這么好的孩子。我會(huì)與你們重聚的。
愛(ài)你們的爸爸

到美國(guó)法庭看一看
In America, courtroom proceedings are generally open to the public and can,within strict guidelines, be reported on in newspapers and on radio and television. We use the word “allegation” and its verb form “allege”to indicate that charges brought against a person have not been proven.Cameras are also generally barred from courtrooms to protect the identities of thejurors,unless special permission is given by the judge.A jury, by the way, consists of from six to twelve ordinary citizens who are chosen by lottery to hear acase and decide,under instructions from the judge, on whether the persons being tried are guilty or innocent.In some cases which attract widespread public interest,permission is given to televise the proceedings if and only if the television cameras never photograph the members of the jury.
An exception to the rule ofopen proceedings are the proceedings of a Grand Jury.Grand Jury proceedings arealways secret. In this instance,a jury is convened not to judge a defendant guilty or not guilty but to decide if sufficient evidence is on hand to bring charges against someone and begin a public trial.The secrecy of the grand jury proceedings is considered necessary to protect the integrity of the testimony and theevidence which may be brought forward later in a public trial.The secrecy prevents any future jury membersfrom having formed an opinion about the case before the facts are known; and it protects the reputations of people who may have been wrongfully or unnecessarily accused of a crime.The fundamental rule of Americanlegal practice is that a person accused of a crime is innocent until proven guilty.The people accusing or prosecuting the defendant must prove through facts and testimony that the person is guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
在美國(guó)，法庭的訴訟程序一般是公之于眾的，并且依照嚴(yán)格的規(guī)定，可以讓報(bào)紙、廣播和電視等傳媒進(jìn)行報(bào)道。我們使用allegation"無(wú)充分證據(jù)的指控”一詞(其動(dòng)詞形式是allege) 表明對(duì)某人的指控尚未得到證實(shí)。法庭上一般禁止攝影拍照以保護(hù)陪審員的身份。除非獲取法官的特別許可， 讓我順便解釋 —下陪審團(tuán)：一個(gè)陪審團(tuán)通常由6名至12名普通公民組成。這些成員用抽簽法選定，到法庭聽(tīng)訟，并在法官的指導(dǎo)下決定被指 控的人有罪還是無(wú)罪。一些能吸引廣大公眾興趣的案子，準(zhǔn)許用電視播放整個(gè)過(guò)程，但絕對(duì)不能將電視鏡頭瞄向陪審團(tuán)的成員。
大陪審團(tuán)的訴訟程序并不遵循公開(kāi)訴訟程序的規(guī)定。大陪審團(tuán)的訴訟程序總是保密的。在這種情形中，一個(gè)陪審團(tuán)召集起來(lái)并非去判斷一位被指控的人有罪還是無(wú)罪，而是決定是否已收集到充足的證據(jù)來(lái)指控某人并著手準(zhǔn)備公開(kāi)審訊。大陪審團(tuán)的訴訟程序的保密性對(duì)保證證詞和證據(jù)的完整性是必要的，因?yàn)樽C詞和證據(jù)在曰后的公開(kāi)審判中會(huì)公之于眾。保守秘密能使曰后的陪審員不致在亊實(shí)水落石出前就對(duì)案件形成自己的息見(jiàn)，也能保護(hù)那些道到錯(cuò)誤指控或無(wú)端指控的人的聲譽(yù)。美國(guó)法律最基本的原則是受到犯罪指控的人在最后被證實(shí)為有罪之前是無(wú)罪的?？馗婊蚱鹪V被告的人必須提供充足的事實(shí)和證詞證明被告不容置疑"地有罪。

結(jié)婚誓言也需更新?lián)Q代
My husband an I will be married 10 years this fall, and I think we're ready for some new vows.
We've pretty much mastered for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, forsaking all othters. Instead of repeating those vows and recommitting to what we've already accomplished, I want us to make some new promises for this stage of our relationship.
Here are a few:
I will trim my nose hair as often as necessary.
I will not pick my nose or scratch my butt in public.
I won't bite my nails if you don't pick your toes.
I won't mention your belly if you don't mention my gray hair.
I will share the blanket.
It's true--after more than a decade together, some of our physical habits have become annoying. It's hard for me to remember, but there was a time actually lulled me to sleep, rather than keeping me awake.
It isn't just physical habits that can grate on each other's nerves now. Our verbal habits can also be frustrating. For example, my husband is a very funny man. Except when he's not.
So, some additional vows:
I will only tell jokes I know are funny.
If you stop talking to me while I'm reading, I'll stop talking to you while you're watching "Iron Chef."
I promise to interrupt you while you're speaking only in case of an actual emergency (which includes wanting to know where you've put the chocolate).
I won't sing a song unless I know all the words.
I'll try to limit conversations that involve yelling from room to room, except when I'm in the bathroom and need more toilet paper, or when I'm in the bedroom and wonder what's for dinner, or when I'm in th TV room and you're playing computer games.
As we enter our second decade of marriage, we'll both be in our 40s, instead of our 30s. Some of our chaming idiosyncrasies now look more like character flaws. We've both changed, but not necessarily in the ways either of us might have imagined or hoped.
At the same time, there are agreements we've tacitly made, without explicitly acknowledging them. They include:
I will say "I was wrong, you were right."
I will remind you regularly why you married me and why I married you.
I will keep it together when you're falling apart and only fall apart when you're able to hold things together.
As we grow older, we hope to mature faster than we age. We learn to love, honor and cherish ourselves. And we try to have and hold onto money better.
As our marriages age, it becomes harder than ever to forsake all other destractions(kids, work, the Internet) and pay attention to our partners, who we expect to see beside us on the other side of the bed, the other side of the table, the other side of our lives. They are our mirrors, but they are not us.
So, in the next phase of our lives, I will look beyond the flaws and the imperfections and the inadequacies we all feel and celebrate the life my husband and I have created and the love we enjon.
Till death to us part.
