So earlier this year two armed students entered a STEM school in Highlands Ranch1, Colorado. They pulled out guns and they told their classmates do not move. Without hesitation2 these three brave young men Kendrick Castillo, Joshua Jones and Brendan Bialy jumped and lunged at them. They risked their own lives to tackle and disarm3 the shooters so that countless4 other students we've seen this over and over again. And it doesn't usually end this way. But in the end one of them died a hero that day, Kendrick Castillo. But his friend Brendan, then a marine5 recruit vowed6 that he would always honor Brendan's legacy7. Watch this. I got to see two heroes, two regular high school kids, two really awesome8 people jump into action without any hesitation and I was more than lucky to join them. Kendrick Castillo died a legend. He died a trooper and I know he will be with me for the rest of my life. That was one day after the shooting. And this is a picture of Brendan Bialy now. He just graduated from boot camp and he is now officially a United States Marine. And he joins me exclusively. Brendan, thank you so much. It's good to have you here. You know, so many people followed your story and I think a lot of people just are very proud of you tonight. They were proud of you then and proud of you tonight.
今年早些时候,两名携带武器的学生进入科罗拉多州牧场高地的STEM学校。他们掏出枪,命令他们的同学不许动。三个勇敢的年轻男孩毫不犹豫地跳起来向他们扑去,他们的名字是肯德里克·卡斯蒂罗、约书亚·琼斯和布兰登·比亚利。他们冒着生命危险去制服枪手,无数的学生都看到了这一幕,一遍又一遍。事情并不是这样结束的。最后,名叫肯德里克·卡斯蒂罗的小英雄牺牲了。但他的朋友布兰登发誓会永远铭记他,当时的布兰登是一名海军陆战队新兵。请看这个短片。我看到了两个英雄,两个普通高中学生,两个超棒的人毫不犹豫地采取了行动,我很幸运能和他们一起行动。肯德里克·卡斯蒂罗牺牲了,他是一个传奇。他牺牲得就像一名警察,我知道他会陪伴我度过余生。这是枪击案发生的一天之后。这张是布兰登·比亚利现在的照片。他刚刚从海军训练新兵营地毕业,现在已经正式成为一名海军陆战队士兵。现在是关于他的独家专访。布兰登,非常感谢你。很高兴能与你连线。你知道的,许多人关注你的故事,我觉得,今晚许多人都为你感到骄傲。他们那时为你骄傲,今晚也为你骄傲。
But when I look back at you talking about what happened the next day, I wonder what it was like for you in the days and weeks that followed at school, you know, when the cameras left and when you start to sink in what you had actually done and what your friends had done. That's a really good question. Well, interestingly enough, we were, for the seniors like my whole friend group, we were three days from being done. Like we were done that Friday. We were done with the testing and everything. But since I was so close to leaving for Marine Corps9 recruit training it was basically hey, it's time to now take this whatever comes along with it and move onto the next step which is at that time was becoming a United States marine. So, what came along with it. I know you were close to Kendrick. I have seen interviews with his parents. They are just such lovely people and they handled it all with such grace and such courage. Just a quick thought on that before I ask you a little bit about where you're headed after that. Absolutely. It was when I look back, it's really interesting. For me, primarily everything that came along with it was thinking about Joshua and Kendrick. And for whatever reason I was the one thrown into the limelight and that's fine but I'm going to use whatever platform I'm given to make sure not only Josh Jones' name is remembered but Kendrick Castillo's forever. No matter where I go, he will be with me and that's not gonna change no matter what.
但我回过头去看你在枪击案之后一天所说的话,我想知道,在那时候的校园时光里,你是怎样度过的,你知道的,许多摄像机对着你,你开始沉浸在回忆里,回忆你做了什么,回忆你的朋友们做了什么。这的确是个好问题。很有趣的是,我们在,对于高年级学生来说,比如我的整个朋友圈,三天之后就结束了。好像是那个周五结束的。我们完成了测试和所有的一切。但自从临近海军陆战队新兵训练时,情况就好像是这样:嘿,现在该接受一切,进入人生的下一阶段了,在那时来说,就是成为一名美国海军陆战队士兵。那么,那时经历了什么。我知道你和肯德里克关系不错。我看过他父母的采访。他们人很不错,而且勇敢坦然地接受了这一切。稍微想一下,之后我会问你一些在那以后的事情。当然。当我回想时,真的很有趣。对我来说,几乎都是在想约书亚和肯德里克。不管怎么说,闪光灯对着的是我,这也没什么,但我要利用每一个平台去确保约书亚·琼斯和肯德里克·卡斯蒂罗的名字都要被永远铭记。无论我去到哪里,他都会和我一起,而且不管怎样,这都不会改变。
