再看看看这段对话: Reema:I am semitic(闪米特人的 闪族语系的 闪族人),that's the point.And yet,the Israelis grabbed Palestine from us. Tala:And Arab countries threw out(赶走 抛散)over a million of jews. Leyla:But the Isrealis should be fair to the Palestians.They know what is like to lose their land. 19世纪末的“犹太复国运动”引发了犹太人回归巴勒斯坦地区的一次大浪潮。 后来1945年二战结束,关押在纳粹集中营的犹太人得到释放。彼时他们无家可归,那么大批犹太人又涌入了巴勒斯坦地区。 Leyla说的以色列人明白无家可归的感觉,即指自从波斯罗马帝国压迫开始,到二战期间遭纳粹迫害,犹太人离开家园散落世界各地。
Leyla的爸爸:Are you going to the mosque(清真寺) first? Leyla:We're heading into town to see a friend of his.Then we're having dinner. 爸爸:It's Friday. Leyla:I believe in our religion,I do,I just...I don't like to go when everyone else dose. 爸爸:If you don't go when everyone else does how will they know you're a good Muslim?
