This mom was determined to take back her neighborhood from drug dealers.
這位母親決心把鄰居從毒販?zhǔn)掷飱Z回來(lái)。
Nationwide Epidemic
全國(guó)性的瘟疫
Pink hat, pink boots, pink backpack — Susan York puts on her trademark outfit whenever shegoes into battle. She may come across as a chatty, upbeat mom, but York is engaged in a deadly war. She is determined to wipe out the meth houses springing up in unsuspecting communities across the country. One of them nearly destroyed her own.
粉紅色的帽子，粉紅色的靴子，粉紅色的背包——蘇珊·約克每次進(jìn)入戰(zhàn)斗都穿上她的標(biāo)志性服裝。約克給人的印象或許是一個(gè)健談樂(lè)觀的媽媽，可她正在進(jìn)行一場(chǎng)生死戰(zhàn)斗。她決心打掉正在全國(guó)各地毫無(wú)戒心的社區(qū)中突然冒出來(lái)的毒品窩。其中有一個(gè)差一點(diǎn)就毀了她自己居住的社區(qū)。
The first sign of trouble was the escalating traffic. Cars with stereos blasting were suddenly tearing through the tranquil block where Susan and Al York had settled four years earlier. The rural street in Mukilteo, Washington, 25 miles north of Seattle, was surrounded by woods and wetland bird sanctuaries. They thought it was the perfect place to raise their young daughter, Brooklynn.
出現(xiàn)麻煩的第一個(gè)征兆是越來(lái)越多的進(jìn)進(jìn)出出的車輛。蘇珊和艾爾·約克四年前定居的原本寧?kù)o安謐的街區(qū)突然出現(xiàn)了大聲播放著立體聲音樂(lè)疾馳而過(guò)的汽車。位于華盛頓州西雅圖北面25英里的穆基爾特奧的鄉(xiāng)下街道四周原本是樹(shù)林和濕地鳥(niǎo)類保護(hù)區(qū)。他們以為這是撫育他們的幼女布魯克林的完美之地。
Then, almost overnight it seemed, life turned upside down. The couple in the split-level across the street divorced, and the wife, LaShawn, began taking in renters to help with the mortgage. But plenty more was going on. Cars peeled in and out of the driveway following visits lasting less than five minutes. Unsavory-looking figures were spotted coming through the woods.
后來(lái)，看起來(lái)幾乎是一夜之間，生活一下子變得亂七八糟。馬路對(duì)面住在錯(cuò)層房子里的一對(duì)夫妻離了婚，妻子拉肖恩為了還抵押貸款開(kāi)始攬進(jìn)房客。可是事情遠(yuǎn)不止是出租房子。汽車在她的私家車道上一會(huì)兒進(jìn)一會(huì)兒出，來(lái)客呆不到五分鐘就走。人們常常看到一些看上去不三不四的人穿過(guò)樹(shù)林走過(guò)來(lái)。
