VOA常速英语2020--拍照记录生活

My name is Belinda. I am volunteering my time to photograph and document families during the pandemic. And how long have you guys lived here? Twenty-eight years. Wow. Kind of new to this but loving it so far and meeting a lot of fabulous¹ people. I'm a dental hygienist by day. The dental field is shut down with the limitations to only emergency. It gave me purpose, spread kindness and I can do something that I love to do. Look here.Whoo! She's like, "You're crazy.You're crazy." Right there. Ready? Ready? What are you doing?

在疫情期间，我自愿花时间拍摄和记录了一些家庭。你们在这住了多久了？28年了。哇哦。这件事对我来说是全新的体验，但到目前为止我很喜欢这段经历，我也遇到许多很棒的人。我白天是牙科保健员。牙科被关闭，且只在紧急的时候开放。这件事给了我目标，让我可以传播善意，做一些喜欢做的事情。看这、哇哦！她会说，“你太夸张了。太夸张了。”看这里。准备好了吗？准备好了吗？你在做什么？

They've been just in their own little bubble. And so, to have somebody come outside and just interact with them and then bring them out. Oh, my goodness.Did you see him go like that? My day job as a hygienist requires me to read people and to kind of be flexible in going with what makes them most comfortable. Come here, sweetie pie. Oh, my God.Are you kidding me right now? Oh, my God. Everyone brings something unique with every photo, which I find really fascinating.I find people fascinating. I think the important part of this also is the documentation for their family. Children will go back."Look at my great grandma. This was during the pandemic of 2020. Look what they did." What do you want to do? Silly face. OK. Silly face.Silly face. This pandemic has kind of slowed everyone down. The light in this whole thing is the reconnecting of the basics of humanity with each other and that's what I like about it. I'm meeting all these people that would not meet otherwise and how kind everyone has been. Oh, my God.So much kindness and so many interesting people. Big, little, four legs, two legs. I find, you know, what makes people tick? You know, what brings out the good side, the bad side? I think we're all good. I think we're all good. We just have bad days and you got to forgive somebody for those bad days.

他们只是在自己的小泡泡里。所以，让一些人走到外面，和他们互动，然后把他们带出来。哦，我的天哪。你看到他那样走了吗？作为一名牙科保健员，我的日常工作要求我能读懂别人的意思，并能灵活地处理让他们最舒服的事情。过来，亲爱的。哦，我的天哪。你现在是在开玩笑嘛？哦，我的天哪。每个人每一张照片都会带来一些独特的东西，我觉得非常迷人。我觉得人们很奇妙。我认为这其中最重要的部分是记录他们的家庭。孩子们会回头看的。“看看我的曾祖母。这是在2020年疫情期间。看看他们做了什么。”你先要做什么？脸好傻。好的，脸好傻。脸好傻。这场疫情让每个人都慢了下来。 整个事情的闪光点是重新把人与人之间的基本原则联系起来，这就是我喜欢它的地方。 我见到了这些我本来不会遇到的人，他们都很友好。天哪。好多友善的人，好多有趣的人。大的，小的，四条腿的，两条腿的。 我发现,你知道,是什么让人兴奋？你知道，是什么给人们带来了好的一面和坏的一面？我认为我们都是好人。我认为我们都是好人。我们只是有一些不好的日子，你得去原谅那些处境糟糕的人。
