Woman volunteering in refugee camp finds love
女志愿者获难民小伙表白
Carly Harris isn't sure what she expected to get out of volunteering in a refugee camp in Greece — but she definitely wasn't expecting a boyfriend.
Carly Harris没预想过自己在希腊难民营会收获什么,但活捉一男朋友从来不在她计划当中
The University of Utah senior was traveling with her cousin in December when she saw a video on social media of the conditions of the camp in Greece.
这位犹他大学大四学生在12月和表亲一起旅游的时候,在社交网络上恰好看到希腊难民营的相关报道
They tried to contact the groups organizing the camp, called Camp Moria, but never heard back.
他们俩试着联系这个组织难民营的Moria营,但没得到回信
"We showed up in Greece with no plan," she says. "We just went to the camp and asked where we could help. They said, 'right here,' so we dropped our bags and worked, for almost a month."
“我们就这么猝不及防的出现在希腊,”她说
Camp Moria is notoriously overcrowded. Formerly a military barracks with a capacity of 700 people, it housed nearly 2,000 a night when Harris was there in December.
Moria营相当拥挤
Volunteers would help people out of the freezing water, give them blankets and put them on a bus to Camp Moria. There, Harris's job was to give the drenched men, women and children hot tea and dry clothes.
志愿者需要把难民从冰冷的海水中救出来,给他们毛毯保暖,用大巴把他们带到Moria营
One day, a young man in line told her she had beautiful eyes. She thanked him, but thought nothing of it. Lots of the young men in the camp would flirt harmlessly with female volunteers.
有天,排队的难民中有个年轻男子告诉她,她有双美丽的眼睛
But he kept coming back. She learned his name was Soufiane El Yassami. He was from Morocco, which is not one of the countries from whom Greece accepts refugees.
但这个年轻男子并没有停止向Harris表达爱意
El Yassami was part of a wave of hopeful yet misguided North Africans who believed Europe's borders were opening and traveled there in search of a better life. Despite spending thousands of euros and risking their lives to float across the Mediterranean, they arrived in Lesbos as immigrants, not refugees.
El Yassami是那批满怀希望却被误导的北非难民之一,他们还以为欧洲的边界开放着,在那里能过的更好
She is Mormon, and he is Muslim. She still has a year of school left at University of Utah. And she was a volunteer at the camp where he was seeking help. So, on one of her last days in the camp, when he asked if he could kiss her, she said no.
Harris是摩门教徒,El Yassami是穆斯林
She left feeling that she had done the right thing.
她走的时候,觉得自己做了对的事
