Chapter 13

CHAPTER 13 DECEMBER 9, 1941 9:00 A.M. It was two long days before Ma and Danny left Hickam. The first thing Danny did was change his clothes. The next thing he did was sprint up to the Sudos' house. Aki ran to him.

第十三章1941年12月9日上午9点 过了漫长的两天，妈妈和丹尼才离开希卡姆。 丹尼做的第一件事就是换衣服。 他做的下一件事就是冲向苏多家。 阿琪向他跑去。

Danny had brought him a present — one of the airmen had given Danny his wings. Danny clipped the gold pin onto Aki's shirt. "Mama!" Aki shrieked. "Look!" Mrs. Sudo stepped away from her clothesline. She smiled at Danny and hugged him. But Danny noticed her red and swollen eyes. A feeling of dread came over Danny. He saw no sign of Mr. Sudo. Mrs. Sudo had Danny sit down at the little table where they'd had lunch just a few days ago. She sent Aki into the house to get his toy trains.

丹尼给他带来了一份礼物——一个飞行员给了丹尼他的翅膀。 丹尼把金别针别在阿琪的衬衫上。 “妈妈!”阿基尖叫起来。“看!”须藤太太从晾衣绳边走开了。 她对丹尼笑了笑，拥抱了他。 但丹尼注意到她红肿的眼睛。 一种恐惧的感觉笼罩着丹尼。 他没有看到须藤先生的踪影。 须藤太太让丹尼坐在他们几天前吃过午饭的小桌子旁。 她让阿基进屋去拿他的玩具火车。

And she told Danny what had happened. Somehow, Mr. Sudo had made it home from fishing the night after the attack. But the next day, the police had come to the house. They were searching the houses of all Japanese people in Hawaii. Mrs. Sudo looked down. "They are looking for spies." "Spies?" Danny asked. "They said that local Japanese here had helped with the attack. They asked if they could search our home, and of course we said yes. Because there is nothing here we have to hide." Mrs. Sudo pushed her lips together and took a ragged breath. "But they did find something. Something they said proved that Aki's father was helping the Japanese. The sketchbook. With all of his drawings of ships and planes. They took it. And then they took my husband to jail." Danny tried to understand what Mrs. Sudo was saying. "What's wrong with drawing the ships and planes?" Danny said.

她把发生的事告诉了丹尼。 在袭击发生后的那个晚上，须藤不知怎么地从钓鱼中回到了家。 但是第二天，警察来了。 他们搜查了夏威夷所有日本人的房子。 须藤太太低下头。“他们在找间谍。” “间谍?”丹尼问。“他们说当地的日本人帮助了这次袭击。 他们问他们是否可以搜查我们的家，我们当然答应了。 因为这里没有我们需要隐藏的东西。” 须藤太太抿紧嘴唇，喘着粗气。 “但他们确实发现了一些东西。 他们说的话证明阿琪的父亲在帮助日本人。 写生簿。他画了很多船和飞机。 他们拿走了。然后他们把我丈夫送进了监狱。” 丹尼试图理解须藤太太在说什么。 “画船和飞机有什么不对吗?”丹尼说。

"They said he had given information to the Japanese about what ships were in the harbor, and what kind of planes we had. They said he helped them plan the attack." "But didn't you tell them that's not true?" "Of course we did, Danny. My husband has lived in Hawaii his whole life. He loves America. This attack enraged him. That night he came home from fishing, he said he wanted to join the navy — the U.S. Navy — and fight the people who did this to our beautiful Hawaii." "Did you tell them that?" "Of course," Mrs. Sudo said. "But they didn't listen. I heard they have arrested other Japanese people. There is a rumor that they are going to put all Japanese people in America in jail." Danny couldn't believe that was true. Mrs. Mills always said America was the land of the free. Just then, Aki came running out with his toy train. "Danny play!" he said. Mrs. Sudo patted Danny's hand and got up to finish the laundry. Probably the best thing he

“他们说，他向日本人提供了有关港口有哪些船只以及我们拥有什么样的飞机的信息。 他们说他帮助他们策划了这次袭击。” “但你没告诉他们那不是真的吗?”“当然了，丹尼。 我丈夫一生都住在夏威夷。 他爱美国。这次攻击激怒了他。 那天晚上，他钓鱼回家，他说他想加入海军——美国 海军——并打击那些对我们美丽的夏威夷做出这种事的人。” “你告诉他们了吗?”“当然，”须藤太太说。 但他们不听。我听说他们还逮捕了其他日本人。 有传言说他们要把所有在美国的日本人关进监狱。” 丹尼不敢相信这是真的。 米尔斯太太总是说美国是自由之地。 就在这时，阿基带着他的玩具火车跑了出来。 “丹尼玩!”他说。苏多太太拍了拍丹尼的手，起身去洗衣服。 也许这是他最好的选择

could do for Mrs. Sudo was to keep Aki busy. And so he brought Aki back to his house and they spent the afternoon playing. All that afternoon Danny thought about Mr. Sudo. Was there any way he could help? Nothing came to him. Until later that night, when he was lying in bed. Danny realized that there was one person who might be able to do something. And the next morning, he went to the post office and sent a telegram to Earl Gasky. There was no way of knowing whether Earl had anything to do with Mr. Sudo's release from jail a week later. But Danny knew that Mr. Sudo was back, because he heard a shriek from the hill. "Papa!" An hour later, Aki had dragged Mr. Sudo down to meet Danny. Of course Danny didn't mention to Mr. Sudo that he'd asked a gangster to help free him from prison. Who knew if the telegram had ever

我能为须藤太太做的事就是让阿琪忙起来。 于是他把阿琪带回家，他们一起玩了一个下午。 整个下午丹尼都在想着须藤先生。 他能帮上什么忙吗? 他什么也没有想到。直到那天深夜，他躺在床上。 丹尼意识到有一个人也许能帮上忙。 第二天早上，他去邮局给厄尔·加斯基发了一封电报。 没有办法知道厄尔是否与一周后须藤先生从监狱获释有关。 但丹尼知道苏多先生回来了，因为他听到山上传来一声尖叫。 “爸爸!”一小时后，阿琪拉着须藤先生下楼去见丹尼。 当然，丹尼没有对须藤先生提起他曾请一个黑帮帮他越狱的事。 谁知道那封电报有没有收到过

reached Earl. And if it had, who knew if Earl had even cared. But right now there wasn't much Danny could believe in. So he decided to believe in Earl.

达到了伯爵。就算有，谁知道厄尔会不会在乎。 但现在丹尼没有什么可相信的。 所以他决定相信厄尔。
