Keith Siegel spent many of his long hours in Hamas captivity(囚禁;关押) in Gaza etch(铭刻;深深刻入)ing everything that happened after 7 October 2023 into his memory. For 484 days, he recite(背诵;默念)d to himself every place he was held, the dates he was moved and every attack or humiliation(羞辱;屈辱) he endured or witnessed.
基思·西格尔在加沙被哈马斯囚禁的漫长时光里,把2023年10月7日之后发生的一切都刻进记忆。整整484天,他反复默念自己被关押的每一个地点、被转移的日期,以及他忍受或目睹的每一次攻击与羞辱。
He aimed to store intelligence that could help Israeli forces free other hostages if he was released, to keep track of time as the days slid by and be able to tell his family what happened to him.(他的目标是储存情报,以便自己获释后能帮助以色列军队解救其他人质;同时记录时间流逝,并能在日后告诉家人自己的遭遇。) Now his body is free, but he cannot loosen(松开;放松) those memories.
他的目标是储存情报,以便自己获释后能帮助以色列军队解救其他人质;同时记录时间流逝,并能在日后告诉家人自己的遭遇。如今他的身体自由了,却无法松开那些记忆。
“I’m living a kind of dual(双重的) life,” he said in an interview in Tel Aviv. “I’m here for some of the time, and I’m in Gaza some of time. It’s very challenging to convey in words what it was like.(那种感受很难用语言表达。)”
“我过着一种双重生活,”他在特拉维夫接受采访时说。“我有时在这里,有时又在加沙。那种感受很难用语言表达。”
