The charity called Theirworld commissioned the short movie, titled 'Straight Outta Syria' has part of its "Out for School" campaign.

短片是由一个名叫“Theirworld”慈善协会录制,短片名称“逃离叙利亚”,此次短片录制也是“教育”计划的一部分。

The aim of this film is to raise awareness of the need to get every child into school. And we’ve chosen to focus on talents, on the potential of young people. And so people can see there’s a generation of young Syrians who are in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan out of school, and there’s lost potential.

该影片的目的是要让人们意识到,每一名儿童都有权接受教育。我们注重的是儿童才能。在黎巴嫩、土耳其以及约旦,许多叙利亚儿童无法接受教育,他们的潜能没有得到发挥。

Theirworld estimates there are close to a million refugee children who are not in school and that makes them vulnerable to child labor, early marriage, exploitation and extremism.

Children can go to school in the morning and open it up in the afternoon for the refugee children. So we see a plan works, about 200,000 children have gone into school this year. We want to expand that plan and get funding across Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon for million places.

儿童可以早上上学,并在下午为难民儿童开设课堂。我们的计划收到了效果,今年约20万名儿童接受教育。我们希望扩大该计划,希望约旦、土耳其以及黎巴嫩的数百万地方也能够获得拨款。

Back at school, the three brothers perform songs in front of their classmates about fleeing the war in Syria.

When I grow up I would like to write humorous songs. Because I don't like to write about misery. I like joy.

长大以后,我们希望创作一些幽默性的歌曲。我不喜欢悲苦的歌曲。我喜欢欢乐。

Hewitt says getting a place in school is about more than just learning.

休伊特认为学校不仅仅是接受教育。

One, it gives them longer term hope. But also it gives them shorter term stability, gets them back into the classroom they’re in a safe environment, they’re learning and they’re focused.

首先,学校给予了他们希望,稳定的环境,学校就是他们的安全区,他们将注意力放在了学习上。

 

The charity is hoping to build support for the campaign ahead of a Syria Donors conference in London next month.

下个月,伦敦将举办“叙利亚捐赠者大会”,该组织希望能够在此之前争取到更多支持。
