In the mornings, 13-year-old Muneer Farie went to school, and in the afternoons he helped his father feed the livestock(牲畜). He took his studies seriously, dreaming of becoming the first teacher in his family of farmers.(他认真对待学业,梦想成为家里第一个教师——他出身于一个农民家庭。)
每天早上,13岁的穆尼尔·法里会去上学,下午则帮父亲喂养牲畜。他认真对待学业,梦想成为家里第一个教师——他出身于一个农民家庭。
As fighting approached his village in al-Wazeyah district in Taiz(塔伊兹), Yemen, two weeks ago, Muneer’s focus started to drift(飘移;走神) from his lessons. The classroom echoed(回荡) with the distant sounds of explosions and gunfire. His home was suddenly on the frontline(在前线) of renewed fighting between the Iran-aligned Houthis(胡塞武装) and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government.
两周前,当战火逼近也门塔伊兹省瓦泽耶地区的村庄时,穆尼尔的注意力开始从功课上飘走。教室里回荡着远处爆炸和枪炮的声音。他的家突然成了伊朗支持的胡塞武装与沙特支持的也门政府之间新一轮战斗的前线。
“We heard there was fighting in surrounding areas but we didn’t expect it would reach our village that fast,” Muneer said. “As soon as the sounds of clashes approached our village, we took our livestock and important belongings and fled home early in the morning.(一听到冲突声逼近村庄,我们就带着牲畜和重要物品,一大早就逃离了家。)”
“我们听说周边地区有战斗,但没想到会这么快就打到我们村,”穆尼尔说。“一听到冲突声逼近村庄,我们就带着牲畜和重要物品,一大早就逃离了家。”
