欧美名人演讲 第113期:美国总统川普首次国情咨文演讲(20)

Army Staff Sergeant¹ Justin Peck is here tonight.

陆军上士贾斯汀·派克今晚来到这里。

Near Raqqa last November, Justin and his comrade, Chief Petty Officer Kenton Stacy,

去年11月，贾斯汀和他的战友肯顿·斯塔西军士长

were on a mission to clear buildings that ISIS had rigged with explosive so that civilians³ could return to that city, hopefully soon and hopefully safely.

在拉卡附近执行任务，清理被ISIS放置爆炸物的建筑，让平民能够返回城市内。

Clearing the second floor of a vital hospital, Kenton Stacy was severely⁴ wounded by an explosion.

在清场一所重要医院的二层时，肯顿·斯塔西被炸成重伤。

Immediately, Justin bounded into the booby-trapped and unbelievably dangerous and unsafe building and found Kenton, but in very, very bad shape.

贾斯汀立刻进入安有炸弹、危险不安全的建筑里，发现肯顿的状况很严重。

He applied⁵ pressure to the wound and inserted a tube to reopen an airway⁶.

他压紧肯顿的伤口，用管子充当呼吸道。

He then performed CPR for 20 straight minutes during the ground transport

在运送伤员的时候他一连为肯顿做了20分钟的人工呼吸，

and maintained artificial respiration⁷ through two-and-a-half hours and through emergency surgery.

在两个半小时的时间里为他人工呼吸，直到肯顿接受应急手术。

Kenton Stacy would have died if it were not for Justin's selfless love for his fellow warrior⁸.

要不是贾斯汀对战友无私的爱，肯顿·斯塔西就死了。

Tonight, Kenton is recovering in Texas. Raqqa is liberated⁹.

今晚，坎顿在德克萨斯养伤。拉卡解放了。

And Justin is wearing his new Bronze Star, with a V for Valor¹⁰. Staff Sergeant Peck: All of America salutes¹¹ you.

贾斯汀则戴上了铜星勋章和V字奖章。陆军上士贾斯汀·派克，所有美国人向你致敬。
