'Dragan,' he said, 'your people are not our people.'
“德拉甘，”他說，“你們和我們不是一種人。”
I looked at Nina. She was quiet, and watched my father carefully, but she said nothing. Dragan looked worried.
我看著尼娜。她不作聲，小心翼翼地看著爸爸，卻一句話也不說。德拉甘看上去有些擔憂。
'We live on this side of the river, and your people live on the other side,' my father said.
“我們住在河的這邊，你們住在河的那邊。”我爸爸說。
'We have our places of worship, and you have yours. We are different.
“我們有我們做禮拜的地方，你們也有你們的。你們和我們是不同的。
We have our ways, and your people have their ways. It was like that when I was a boy, and it is still like that now.'
我們有我們的方式，你們有你們的方式。我還是個孩子的時候就是如此，至今也依然如此。”
Then he smiled. 'But we can be friends,' he said. 'You are a good man, and my daughter loves you.
然后他笑了。“但我們可以做朋友。”他說，“你是個好人，我的女兒愛你。
Anybody can see that. Our door is always open to you, Dragan.'
大家都能看出來。我們家的門永遠為你打開，德拉甘。”
'Thank you,' said Dragan quietly. And Nina smiled - at him, at my father, at me, at everybody.
“謝謝。”德拉甘輕聲說。尼娜笑了——沖著德拉甘，沖著我爸爸，沖著我，沖著每一個人笑了。
After that, they were always together. At the university, at home, in town - it was always Nina and Dragan.
從那以后，他們形影不離。在大學，在家，在城里——總能看到兩人在一起。
They studied together and went to parties together. They were two young people, happy and in love.
他們一起學習，一起參加派對。他們是兩個快樂且沐浴在愛河中的年輕人。
And then the war began. At first things were difficult, but they could still meet sometimes.
隨后戰爭爆發了。開始的時候，情況不好，但他們有時還能見面。
But then things began to change. When the university closed, Nina and Dragan could not see each other every day.
可是后來形勢就改變了。大學停了課，尼娜和德拉甘不能天天見面了。
They talked on the phone, but it was not the same.
他們打電話，但是電話與見面是不一樣的。
'I can't live without him,' Nina said to us one night, with tears on her face. 'I must see him! I must.'
“我的生命里不能沒有他。”有天晚上，尼娜流著淚對我們說，“我一定要見到他！一定要。”
