美麗的克莉絲緹娜

Christina Taylor Green's short life was pinned between two national tragedies: She was born Sept. 11, 2001, and she died as a gunman apparently targeting Rep. Gabrielle Giffords shot 20 people in Tucson.
美國的兩起國家慘案串起了小女孩克莉絲緹娜·泰勒·格林的短暫一生：她出生在2001年9月11日（美國911事件當天），死于亞利桑那州圖森槍擊案。槍手共射中20人，而他的目標顯然是民主黨女議員加布里埃爾·吉福茲。

A neighbor was going to the Giffords event and invited Christina along because she thought she would enjoy it, said her uncle, Greg Segalini. Christina was newly elected to the student council at her school.
克莉絲緹娜的叔叔賽格里尼說，他們的一位鄰居要去參加吉福茲的見面活動，鄰居覺得克莉絲緹娜會喜歡就帶她一起去了?？死蚪z緹娜剛剛被選進了學校的學生會。

The event, an opportunity for constituents to meet Giffords and discuss any concerns they had related to the federal government, was an outdoor family friendly event.
見面會本來是讓選民有機會與吉福茲面對面，討論任何他們所關(guān)心的有關(guān)聯(lián)邦政府的問題，是一個“家庭友好型”室外活動。

舞動的精靈

A talented girl, Christina participated in many activities, ranging from ballet to baseball.
克莉絲緹娜是一個很有才能的女孩，她參加了許多活動，從芭蕾到棒球（注：克莉絲緹娜是當?shù)厣倌臧羟蜿犞形ㄒ坏呐?/span>

"How do you prepare for something like this? My little niece got killed--took one on the chest and she is dead," Segalini said.
賽格里尼悲嘆：“你如何接受這樣的現(xiàn)實？我的小侄女被殺害了，胸部中了一槍，死了……”

為克莉絲緹娜哀悼

The public yields a stunned assent.
公眾發(fā)出了同樣的驚愕。

"She was born on 9-11 and died today? That's the most tragic thing I've ever heard," a Facebook comment asserts.
臉譜網(wǎng)上有評論說：“她在911時候出生然后今天（槍擊案當天）死了？那是我聽說過的最不幸的事?！?/span>

希望的臉龐，如今卻有些諷刺……

By virtue of her birth on September 11, 2001, Christina is featured in the book, entitled Faces of Hope, Babies Born on 9/11, dedicated to all the mothers who gave birth and to their babies born on the day.
因為出生于2001年9月11日，克莉絲緹娜被收錄在《希望的臉龐：出生于911的嬰兒們》一書中。這本書是為所有在911這天生孩子的母親以及出生于這天的嬰兒所寫的。

Christina's page in Faces of Hope reads: I hope you know all the words to the Star Spangled Banner and sing it with your hand over your heart. I hope you jump in rain puddles.
書中克莉絲緹娜所在的那頁上寫著：我愿你學會《星條旗》（美國國歌）中的所有歌詞，手按于心將它高唱。我愿你在雨后水塘里盡情歡跳。
