Our two teams have worked together over the last year to design this memorial.
我們兩個團(tuán)隊(duì)去年在一起工作并設(shè)計(jì)了這個紀(jì)念館。
The memorial will take us on a journey
這個紀(jì)念館會帶領(lǐng)我們走上一個旅途，
through a classical, almost familiar building type, like the Parthenon or the colonnade at the Vatican.
通過一個古典的、幾近熟悉的建筑類型，像帕臺農(nóng)神廟或在梵蒂岡的柱廊。
But as we enter, the ground drops below us and our perception shifts,
但我們進(jìn)入后，地板傾斜向下，我們看到的景象改變，
where we realize that these columns evoke the lynchings, which happened in the public square.
我們了解到這些柱子點(diǎn)醒了我們曾經(jīng)在公共廣場發(fā)生的私刑。
And as we continue, we begin to understand the vast number of those who have yet to be put to rest.
我們繼續(xù)走下去，我們開始了解到無數(shù)未安息的人們。
Their names will be engraved on the markers that hang above us.
他們的名字會深深地刻在掛于我們頭上方的標(biāo)志里。
And just outside will be a field of identical columns.
而在外面也會擺放相同的柱子。
But these are temporary columns, waiting in purgatory, to be placed in the very counties where these lynchings occurred.
這些柱子放在曾經(jīng)發(fā)生私刑的地點(diǎn)，記載了那些曾在煉獄中受苦的人們。
Over the next few years, this site will bear witness, as each of these markers is claimed and visibly placed in those counties.
往后幾年，這些景點(diǎn)是大家有目共睹的，每一個景點(diǎn)都會在醒目的地方，述說著曾經(jīng)發(fā)生在這個地區(qū)的事情。
Our nation will begin to heal from over a century of silence.
在一個世紀(jì)的沉默之后，我們國家的傷痕終于開始復(fù)原。
