A Strong Man’s Weak Moment 坚强的人脆弱的时候:记战争中唯一的生还者
This soldier was the sole survivor of the battle. Military disciplines solidified the soldiers but most of them died in this so-called patriotic war. The soldier stood up as soon as he woke up. Extreme cold solidified water. The food had frozen solid. Such problems were not readily soluble. Its solution required a few hours. The soldier took out a solar cell. But the sun had no sooner started to shine than it was clouded over a gain. He couldn’t solve the problem now. The soles of his shoes were broken. the mud had soiled his socks. The soldier began to sob. He wanted to take a shower with soap. He wanted to drink a chocolate soda. He wanted to watch soccer game. And he missed his family. His father was a peasant, making his living from the soil. His mother was a sociologist, researching socialism. When he left to go up the line, they looked at him with a solemn expression. Sometimes, he doubted whether he could see them again. After sobbing, the soldier felt somewhat sober. He knew he must do something somehow. He took some soluble tablets first to keep himself warm. Then he began to walk forward. He firmly believed that he could get to the destination sooner or later.
这名士兵是这场战斗唯一的生还者。军事纪律让士兵们团结,但大多数人都死于这场所谓的爱国战争中。这名士兵一苏醒过来就站起来。极度的寒冷使水凝固。食物已经冻成固体了。这样的问题并不容易解决。解决需要几个小时。士兵掏出一个太阳能电池。但太阳刚有点光芒就给乌云挡住了。他现在无法解决问题。他的鞋底已经断了。泥土已经弄脏了他的短袜。士兵哭泣起来。他想用香皂洗淋浴,他想喝瓶巧克力汽水。他想看足球节目。并且他想念他的亲人。他的父亲是个农民,靠土地为生。他的母亲是个社会学家,研究社会主义。当他出发去前线的时候,他们用严肃的神情望着他。有时候,他怀疑自己是否还能见到他们。哭泣之后,士兵感觉稍微冷静了。他知道必须设法做点什么。首先他吃了些可溶性的药丸来使自己暖和些。然后他开始前进。他坚信自己迟早会达到目的地。
