  • A six-year-old boy from New York has won the respect of US President Barack Obama and thousands of others after he offered to take in Omran Daqneesh, a little boy who was injured after his home in Aleppo, Syria, was bombed.

    叙利亚小男孩儿奥姆兰·达克尼什在阿勒波的家被炸之后受伤,而后纽约一位6岁男孩表示希望能伸出援手,他的善心感动了美国总统贝拉克·奥巴马和百万网友。

    The image of five-year-old Omran sat alone in an ambulance, covered in dust and blood, shocked the world and inspired six-year-old Alex, from Scarsdale, New York, to take action.

    5岁的奥姆兰满脸尘土与血迹,孤独的坐在救护车里的的画面震撼了全球,这让来自纽约斯卡斯代尔的6岁男童亚历克斯想做点什么来帮帮他。

    In a handwritten letter sent to the White House, Alex asked Obama to go and collect Omran and bring him to his house where "we will be waiting for you guys with flags, flowers, and balloons."

    在他写给白宫的一封信中,亚历克斯请求奥巴马总统找到奥姆兰后带到自己家,并说“我会准备好旗子、鲜花以及气球来迎接你们。”

    Alex said that Omran could be part of his family, and offered to be his brother.

    亚历克斯表示,奥姆兰将是他家的一员,他就是自己的兄弟。

    He said he would teach him how to speak English, to ride a bike and added that his sister Catherine would share her toys with him.

    他说他会教奥姆兰英语,骑车,还表示他的妹妹凯瑟琳会跟奥姆兰分享她的布娃娃。

    Obama read Alex's words aloud in a speech he gave at the United Nations, before posting a video of Alex reading the letter himself to Facebook.

    在近日的联合国难民危机峰会上,奥巴马大声的念出了这位6岁男孩儿的信件。之后,奥巴马在脸书上也分享了亚历克斯亲自阅读这封信的视频。

    In his message, Obama asked people to read the letter to "understand why he had decided1 to share it with the world."

    在配文中,奥巴马总统要求人们读读这封信,以“理解他为何想要与全世界分享这封信”。

    "Those are the words of a six-year-old boy -- a young child who has not learned2 to be cynical3, or suspicious4, or fearful5 of other people because of where they come from, how they look, or how they pray," the President wrote.

    奥巴马总统写道:“这些话语出自一个六岁孩子之口--一个还没学会因为出生、因为长相、因为怎样祈祷而去愤世嫉俗、怀疑或恐惧的孩子。”

    "We should all be more like Alex. Imagine what the world would look like if we were," he added.

    他补充说道:“我们都应该更像亚历克斯。想象一下如果我们都像他一样,我们的世界会是怎样的。”
