Ahmed Ishtaiwi has six chairs. They are cheap and plastic and battered(破旧的), but they are among the 43-year-old driver and mechanic’s most valuable possessions(最珍贵的财产).
艾哈迈德·伊什塔维有六把椅子。它们廉价、塑料、破旧,但却是这位43岁的司机兼机械师最珍贵的财产之一。
Ishtaiwi lives in a tent near Deir al-Balah(加沙中部城市代尔巴拉赫) in central Gaza with his two daughters. Their former home is far to the north, in the now ruined town of Beit Lahiya(加沙北部城镇拜特拉希亚), uninhabitable(无法居住的) and impossible to reach.
伊什塔维和两个女儿住在加沙中部代尔巴拉赫附近的一个帐篷里。他们以前的家在遥远的北部,位于如今已成废墟的拜特拉希亚镇,无法居住,也无法抵达。
“When I sit on those chairs, I remember sitting in the garden at home, having breakfast and drinking tea. They remind me of(使我想起) my life there,” he said last week.
“当我坐在那些椅子上时,我会想起坐在家里的花园里,吃早餐、喝茶。它们让我想起我在那里的生活,”他上周说。
