NPR's Jackie Northam is following the events tonight. She joins us now from Jerusalem. Hey, Jackie.
NPR新闻的杰基11诺瑟姆正在追踪今晚的事件。下面她将从耶路撒冷和我们连线。你好，杰基。
Hey, Mary Louise.
你好，玛丽·路易斯。
OK. Give us more detail. What are you hearing about this cease-fire?
好。请详细说明一下。你对这项停火协议有何了解？
Well, the Israeli government issued a statement saying its security cabinet unanimously voted to accept an Egyptian initiative for a bilateral1 cease-fire,
以色列政府发表声明表示，其安全内阁一致投票决定接受埃及提出的双边停火倡议，
and it's expected to begin around 2 a.m. local time.
预计停火将于当地时间凌晨2点左右生效。
A Hamas spokesman, Hazem Al Qassem, told NPR that if Israel stopped its air raids in Gaza, they will talk about a cease-fire.
哈马斯发言人哈泽姆·卡塞姆对NPR新闻表示，如果以色列停止对加沙地带的空袭，他们将讨论停火问题。
But if they continue, there will be, what they say, an escalation3 on the ground for sure.
但如果他们继续发动空袭，该地区的局势肯定会升级。
And just to note, Hamas has made several conflicting statements over the past few days about a cease-fire.
需要指出的是，过去几天，哈马斯就停火发表了多项相互矛盾的声明。
You know, it's early still. There are some details that need clarification, but we do know that there are a lot of serious issues on both sides that still have to get worked out.
现在时间尚早。还有些细节需要澄清，但我们明确知道的是，双方都有很多严重问题需要解决。
And frankly4, Mary Louise, even if a cease-fire is declared, that doesn't necessarily mean the fighting is going to stop.
玛丽·路易斯，坦白说，即使宣布停火，也并不一定意味着战斗将停止。
No. Well, give us a little bit more of a sense of what it is like there on the ground.
对，我们来详细了解一下该地区的感受。
I know you were down in southern Israel earlier today, an area that has been pummeled with rocket fire. What were you hearing from Israelis?
我知道你今天早些时候在以色列南部，那里遭遇了火箭袭击。你从以色列人那里听到了什么？
You're right. We were in a place called Sderot, which is the closest Israeli town to Gaza.
没错。我们当时在一个名为斯德洛的地方，那里是以色列离加沙最近的城镇。
And it's used to being kind of on the front line during conflicts between Hamas and Israel — and no different this time.
在哈马斯和以色列的冲突中，该地一直属于前线，这次也没有什么不同。
I spoke2 with a senior security official in the region, Eyal Hajbi.
我采访了该地区的一名高级安全官员艾尔·哈吉比。
And he says about 900 rockets have landed in this area. A lot of them have been intercepted5.
他说目前已有约900枚火箭落在这一地区。其中多数火箭被拦截。
But still, you know, that's about a quarter of all the rockets fired at Israel — and that many people have had to evacuate6.
但是，这只是发射向以色列的火箭总数的四分之一左右，因此许多人不得不撤离。
But, you know, he said despite that, people in the area want the military to continue to pound Hamas targets so that they're no longer a threat.
但是，他表示，尽管如此，该地区的人们仍希望军方继续打击哈马斯的目标，以使他们不再构成威胁。
Here he is speaking through a translator.
以下是他所说，我们进行了翻译。
And our message is that we're a steadfast7 thing in this area no matter what we're going through.
我们的观点是，无论我们正在经历什么，我们都是这个地区的坚定力量。
And we will continue and live here and build and develop here.
我们将继续生活在这里，建设和发展这里。
You know, Hajbi and others in the south may want the fight to continue, but it seems now that's not going to happen.
哈吉比和南部地区的其他人可能希望战斗继续下去，但现在看来这一切都不会发生。
Well, let's look across to the Gaza side of the border, where there are so many challenges, even if we get a cease-fire and even if that does end the fighting.
我们看看来边界地区加沙一侧的情况，即使停炎并确实结束战斗，那里也存在很多挑战。
Oh, you bet. I mean, Israel pounded Gaza during this conflict, carrying out more than a thousand airstrikes.
你说得没错。在冲突期间，以色列对加沙地区发动了1000多次空袭。
And as you mentioned earlier, more than 200 people were killed. But, you know, large apartment buildings were demolished8.
正如你刚才所说，这导致超过200人死亡。还有多座大型公寓楼被摧毁。
And you've got — the last count was 58,000 Palestinians who have fled their homes.
最后，这迫使5.8万巴勒斯坦人逃离家园。
And, you know, buildings are going to have to be, you know, constructed, roads. They're going to need millions of dollars for reconstruction9.
建筑和道路都必须重建。重建需要数百万美元。
And, you know, who's going to pay for it may very well be part of the negotiations10, along with different types of aid as well.
而谁来支付这笔款项以及不同类型的援助问题，很可能是谈判涉及的内容。
Does either side come out of this stronger?
双方都变得更强了吗？
You know, Hamas is likely going to say they stood up for Jerusalem and the Palestinians,
哈马斯很可能会说他们支持耶路撒冷和巴勒斯坦，
but, you know, they could face anger amongst their own people about all the destruction there.
但他们可能会面临自己人民对该地区所有破坏情况的愤怒。
Israel said it was teaching its enemies a lesson, but it has drawn11 a lot of international criticism, including from the U.S. Congress,
以色列表示，他们在教训敌人，但该国招致了包括美国国会在内的国际社会的诸多批评，
about how much force it used and the high number of civilian12 casualties.
因为其所使用的武力程度以及造成的大量平民伤亡。
And, you know, that debate will continue.
辩论仍将持续下去。
