The lights go down, and for a moment I forget I’m watching a screen. It fills with a rooftop in Tel Aviv at night, black and grey. The camera pan((镜头)摇摄)s down. Through windows, we see people watching screens of their own – couples holding each other close, following the news, eating food. They appear absorbed in their own worlds, and why wouldn’t they be?(他们似乎沉浸在自己的世界里,而这又有什么奇怪的呢?)
灯光暗下来,有那么一瞬间,我忘了自己是在看一块屏幕。屏幕上浮现出夜晚特拉维夫的一处屋顶,黑灰一片。镜头向下摇。透过一扇扇窗户,我们看到人们也在看各自的屏幕——情侣相拥,追着新闻,吃着东西。他们似乎沉浸在自己的世界里,而这又有什么奇怪的呢?
That’s the thing I can’t get past(释怀;越过) as a Palestinian journalist from Gaza, watching this apparent tranquillity(安宁;平静): this must be it – this must be what safety actually looks like. Just an evening uninterrupted, with no military aircraft flying overhead or drones buzzing incessantly(不停地;持续不断地). Meanwhile, men and women on the rooftop above them calmly talk about how they decided how many Palestinian civilians would die on any given night.(而与此同时,他们上方屋顶上的男男女女,正平静地谈论着他们如何决定某个夜晚要死多少巴勒斯坦平民。)
作为一个来自加沙的巴勒斯坦记者,看着这份表面的安宁,有一点我始终无法释怀:这一定就是了——这一定就是安全真正的样子。只是一个不被打断的夜晚,头顶没有军机飞过,也没有无人机嗡嗡不停。而与此同时,他们上方屋顶上的男男女女,正平静地谈论着他们如何决定某个夜晚要死多少巴勒斯坦平民。
These are the soldiers, mostly intelligence officers, who helped Israel carry out its destruction of Gaza. Their testimonies form the basis of NAZA, a documentary whose title comes from an Israeli military acronym used to indicate how many civilians are likely to die in an airstrike on the territory.(他们的证词构成了纪录片《NAZA》的基础,片名来自一个以色列军方缩写,用来表示一次空袭该地区可能造成多少平民死亡。)
这些人就是士兵,大多是情报官员,他们帮助以色列实施了对加沙的摧毁。他们的证词构成了纪录片《NAZA》的基础,片名来自一个以色列军方缩写,用来表示一次空袭该地区可能造成多少平民死亡。
