Sunday, September 9, 2001, was a good day for the three of us. Emmy was just 11 weeks old and we were enjoying her enormously. After three miscarriages in two years, she was doubly precious to us. My husband, Jeremy, who was thinking of changing jobs, had gone on two interviews and felt they went well. Since Sunday was rainy, we just lay around our house in northern New Jersey. We laughed a lot, and watched Emmy, and then went to bed early.
2001年9月9日是星期日，對我們三個人來說，是個美好的日子。埃米剛有11周大，我們極其喜歡她。她是我在兩年內經過連續三次流產后生下的，所以對我們更為珍貴。我的丈夫杰里米當時正考慮換個工作，已經面試過兩次，自己感覺進行得還順利。周日那天下雨，我們就在我們位于新澤西北部的自家屋內閑躺著。我們嬉笑著，照看著埃米，隨后就早早就寢了。
The next day, September 10, was busy, with Jeremy due to fly from Newark to California on business. I would take Emmy up to my parents' house in Windham, New York, and he could meet us there when he returned.
次日，9月10日，我們忙碌起來，杰里米將從紐瓦克飛往加利福尼亞出差。我將帶埃米北上去紐約州溫德姆我父母的家中。這樣，杰里米回來時可以去那里接我們。
For some reason he particularly wanted to take care of Emmy that morning. So he fed her and bathed and dressed her. He packed up both our cars, made sure Emmy was tucked into hercar seat, and kissed her. Then he stood waving as we drove off.
那天早晨，不知什么原因，他特想要照料埃米。他給她喂奶、給她洗澡、給她穿衣。他把兩輛車的行李都裝好，把埃米在汽車座椅上安置妥當，并吻了吻她。而后當我們開車離開時他站到一邊揮手告別。
