What does it take to make a morning cup of tea in Gaza?
在加沙，泡一杯早茶需要付出什么？
For Alaa Hessi, in her final month of pregnancy(处于孕晚期), this small ritual begins with a calculation of gas ration(配额，定量)s. Her family gets a ration of 6kg of gas every three months – enough to heat a pot for 18 precious(珍贵的) minutes a day. That’s needed for cooking – so for tea, a fire must be built instead.
对于处于孕晚期的阿拉·赫西来说，这个小小的仪式始于计算燃气配额。她家每三个月领到6公斤燃气——只够每天烧锅18分钟，每一分钟都弥足珍贵。这些燃气要用来做饭——所以想喝茶，只能另外生火。
For 12-year-old Ramadan, the process begins with a hunt for anything flammable(易燃的), in an environment where there is almost no wood left. He scout(搜寻，侦察)s through the sand dunes where he lives, snaps off a few twig(细枝)s from a thorn bush, and feeds the flames with pieces of discarded plastic that wash up on the beach.
对于12岁的拉马丹来说，这个过程始于寻找任何可燃之物——在他生活的环境里，木头几乎已经绝迹。他在自己居住的沙丘间搜寻，从荆棘丛上折下几根细枝，再用冲上海滩的废弃塑料片来添火。
