[00:41.24]在過去幾天里,我重復(fù)觀看了“9.1 1事件”發(fā)生的全過程。
[00:45.47]To relive the tragedy by watching the incident on television is just mind-boggling.

[01:32.12]and thankfully I did not lose anyone in the attacks,
[01:34.81]而且很幸運地役有因這次襲擊而失去任何一個朋友,
[01:37.49]as an American it still hurts to see the tragedy.

[01:55.02]It's just something you can never forget.

[02:24.07]AII I know is that Sept.11 made us grow closer together as a nation.
[02:28.34]我只知道9·11事件使我們國家團(tuán)結(jié)了起來。
[02:32.60]We continue to have hope as we unite--
[02:34.89]我們將繼續(xù)滿懷希望.因為我們團(tuán)結(jié)一致--
[02:37.18]and that is something that can never be taken away from us.
[02:39.80]這是任何人都不能奪走的。
[02:42.43]Remembering this day also makes me especially proud of my brother

[07:25.75]So I stood there, holding his hand for a long time.
