2017考研英语拓展阅读：10岁女孩用镜头记录战争前线

　　Janna could enjoy her childhood like every other 10 year old kid by playing and watching TV at her home. But she chose to risk her life reporting on the Palestinian – Israeli conflict in the occupied West Bank, with the aim to raise awareness about the plight of her people.

　　10岁的扬娜本可以像其他同龄的孩子们一样，和小伙伴们玩耍，在家舒服地看电视，过着无忧无虑的生活。然而，扬娜却选择冒着生命危险去约旦河西岸的巴以冲突地带，记录和报道当地的一切，希望可以唤起世界对当地人民及其困境的认识与关注。

　　A resident of Nabi Saleh, a small Palestinian village north of the West Bank city of Ramallah, Janna has witnessed the tragedies of war from a very young age. Her mother, Nawal, talks about an incident where Jana was traumatized after one of her friends was shot dead by the Israeli army. “He was older than her but used to always be friendly and nice to her so that she became attached to him. When she saw his blood on the ground, she became frantic.”

　　扬娜住在约旦河西岸拉姆安拉城北面的一个名为纳比萨利赫的小村庄里，从小她就目睹了战争之下的一起又一起悲剧。扬娜的母亲纳瓦尔提到，扬娜在几年前亲眼目睹自己的一个朋友遭到以色列军队枪击后死亡，自此之后她的心灵受到巨大创伤。“那个孩子比扬娜大一些，对她非常友好，扬娜非常喜欢他。当扬娜看见他倒在血泊里的时候，她的精神一下子就崩溃了。”

　　Janna would often pen her feelings and frustrations in a locked journal and made it the only mode of communication, but the deaths of two of her relatives – her cousin, Mustafa Tamimi, and another uncle, Rushdie Tamimi – inspired her to get involved and reveal the injustice the people in her village are being subjected to.

　　扬娜经常会将自己的心情和遇到的挫折记录在一个带锁的日记本里，这是她唯一抒发心情和沟通的方式。然而在其堂兄穆斯塔法·塔米米以及叔叔拉什迪·塔米米先后离世之后，扬娜决心要站出来并告诉这个世界她所居住的村庄究竟遭受了多少不公平的待遇。

　　Janna began her journalist career when she was just 7 years old. She would use her mother’s iPhone to record protests staged by locals and international peace activists and the reaction of Israeli army. She believes that the professional journalists don’t often give us the exact news so she takes up the responsibility to show the whole picture by posting videos on various social media platforms like, YouTube, Facebook or Snapchat.

　　从7岁那年开始，扬娜就开始了自己的记者生涯。扬娜经常会用妈妈的手机去拍摄记录当地居民以及国际和平主义者所发起的示威抗议以及以色列军队所作出的回应。她认为那些国际记者们并没有完全真实地报道新闻，于是她便扛起了这份责任，还原事件的所有真相，并将自己记录的一切通过视频的方式发布到诸如YouTube，Facebook以及Snapchat等各类媒体平台之上。

　　“I want the world to know that we are not terrorists and to expose the army’s violence against us,” she told The Arab Weekly.

　　扬娜告诉《阿拉伯周刊》：“我想让全世界知道，我们并不是什么恐怖分子，我们只是在反抗当地军队对我们的暴行。”

　　After rising to internet fame in 2014, and being hailed as one of the world’s youngest amateur reporters, Janna Jihad has expanded her work, travelling with her mother to places like Jerusalem, Hebron, Nablus and Jordan to shoot video reports and post them online.

　　2014年扬娜在网络上成名，并被称为是世界上最小的业余战地记者之一。后来，扬娜·吉哈德在母亲的陪伴下前往更多的地方去进行拍摄和报道。她在耶路撒冷，希伯伦，纳布卢斯和约旦等地方拍摄视频，并将其发布到网上。

　　Her Facebook page alone currently has over 80,000 likes."

　　至今为止，她的Facebook主页已经拥有8万多个赞。

　　Janna’s mother says she is both proud of her, but also very scared for her safety.

　　扬娜的妈妈表示很为自己的女儿骄傲，但同时也非常担心她的安全问题。

　　“I am proud of my daughter because as a child, she tells her message to the world. She shares her fears, what she feels, and the problems of attending school,” Nawal told Al Jazeera. “But I am scared for her, when the army comes in the middle of the night and tear-gases our house, and we wake up in smoke. They attack our people who demonstrate against the settlers and the Israeli occupation.”

　　纳瓦尔接受半岛媒体采访时表示：“我为我的女儿感到无比骄傲，因为她在如此小的年纪就可以通过自己的力量将信息传递给全世界。她像全世界展示她的恐惧，她所感受到的一切以及孩子们上学的问题。但是，我非常担心她的安危。我们的家里曾在半夜的时候被军队丢进催泪弹，一家人在烟雾中醒来。人们谁要是反对和抗议以色列军队占领此地，那些军队就会采取袭击行动。”

　　Janna’s dream is to study professional journalism at Harvard and get a job at CNN or FOX News, because “they do not talk about Palestine, and I want to make reports on Palestine”. And when asked about Janna’s ideal world, she said, "I want it to be pink”.

　　扬娜的梦想是去哈佛学习新闻专业，以后去CNN(美国有线电视新闻网)或者是福克斯新闻工作，因为他们并不谈论巴勒斯坦，而她希望可以去做关于这方面的报道。当有人问道扬娜，对于她来说理想的世界是什么样子时，这个小姑娘表示：“我希望她看起来是粉色的。”
