概述:
和子家比起大多數(shù)其他家庭來還算要幸運些。但她父親因為身上的灼傷而不得不躺在戶外的榻榻米上。。。
Hints:
Kaz
Los Alamos
It was midnight by the time they found her place. Kaz looked back. The city was on fire. She felt uneasy, seized with fear, not for herself, but for her parents. She left her brother behind, and dashed down the slope of the hill toward the flames. The streets were filled with the dead and barely living. She kept on running, knowing only that she had to be home.
Kaz's family had been luckier than most. Her father with his burns had to lie outdoors on a tatami, but her brother's wounds refused to heal. As the others were recovering, Kaz fell ill with all the symptoms of radiation sickness. The disease was a frightening result of the atomic bomb. Scientists in Los Alamos were surprised by its extent; they thought the blast would do most of the killing.
他們找到朋友的住處時已是半夜了。和子往身后望去,只見整個城市都在燃燒。她感到心神不寧,內(nèi)心充滿恐懼,不是為了自己,而是為了父母。她留下弟弟,沖下了山坡,往熊熊火焰奔去。街上到處都是死人和奄奄一息的人,她不停地跑著,只知道自己必須回家。
和子家比起大多數(shù)其他家庭來還算要幸運些。但她父親因為身上的灼傷而不得不躺在戶外的榻榻米上,她弟弟的傷口也不肯愈合。當家里其他人都在康復(fù)時,和子卻病倒了,輻射病的癥狀出現(xiàn)了。這種病是原子彈爆炸后引起的可怕后果之一。洛斯阿拉莫斯實驗室的科學(xué)家們對原子彈造成的傷害程度感到吃驚。他們原以為爆炸主要是致人死亡而已。
