Men age and die, but in the Balkans, time stands still(时间仿佛凝固) and is stuck. General Ratko Mladić, who died in prison in The Hague on Thursday aged 84, remains a hero in the Republika Srpska statelet – the Serbian half of dismembered(被肢解的) Bosnia that he carved out(用暴力强行割据) with a hurricane(飓风;暴力风暴) of violence between 1992 and 1995 – and in Serbia itself.
人会衰老和死亡,但在巴尔干,时间却停滞不前。拉特科·姆拉迪奇将军于周四在海牙监狱去世,享年84岁,他在塞族共和国这个国中之国——被肢解的波斯尼亚的塞尔维亚人部分,他在1992年至1995年间用暴力飓风将其分割出来——以及塞尔维亚本国,仍然是英雄。
Too many Serbs in whose name Mladić carried out his mass murder of other ethnicities – mainly Muslim Bošniak and Roman Catholic Croats – adore him and mourn his passing.(太多塞尔维亚人,姆拉迪奇以他们的名义实施大规模谋杀,却崇拜并哀悼他。)
太多塞尔维亚人——姆拉迪奇以他们的名义对其他族群(主要是穆斯林波什尼亚克人和罗马天主教克罗地亚人)实施大规模谋杀——却崇拜他,哀悼他的去世。
Since Bosnia’s war ended, Mladić’s portrait has adorned(装饰,点缀) posters, gable ends(山墙,三角墙), mantelpieces and football fans’ flags. Supporters of Red Star Belgrade(贝尔格莱德红星队,塞尔维亚著名足球俱乐部) marked his death(纪念他的去世) at a match against Viktoria Plzeň on Thursday night with banners reading: “General: Eternal glory. Thank you.”
自波斯尼亚战争结束以来,姆拉迪奇的肖像装饰着海报、山墙、壁炉架和足球迷的旗帜。贝尔格莱德红星队的支持者周四晚在对比尔森维多利亚队的比赛中,用横幅纪念他的去世,横幅上写着:“将军:永恒的荣耀。谢谢。”
