9月11日，我们永远铭记。 拉斯·布里亚克 著

September 11, 2001 On September 11, 2001, a group of terrorists hijacked four planes on the east coast of the United States. They crashed the first two planes on purpose into the World Trade Center towers in New York City. Soon after, they smashed a third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. They tried to crash a fourth plane into another building, but people on the plane stopped That plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. The tragic events of that day left many people dead or injured. The Twin Towers were completely destroyed, and their collapse caused damage many blocks away. An entire section of the Pentagon was destroyed as well.

2001年9月11日，这一天，一伙恐怖分子在美国东海岸劫持了四架飞机。 他们故意将前两架飞机撞向了纽约市的世贸中心双子塔。 不久之后，第三架飞机被撞向了弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿县的五角大楼。 他们试图把第四架飞机撞向另一座建筑，但飞机上的人们奋起反抗，最终这架飞机坠毁在了宾夕法尼亚州的一片田野里。 这场悲剧让许多人丧生或受伤。 双子塔被彻底摧毁，坍塌还波及了好几个街区之外的区域。 五角大楼的一整块区域也被摧毁了。

Many people became heroes because of their brave actions that day. Police, firefighters, doctors, nurses, and ordinary people who were just walking by ran into burning buildings to help people who were trapped or hurt. Rescue workers from all over the United States came to help find survivors. Some of these heroes died trying to help.

当天，许多人因为勇敢的行动成为了英雄。 警察、消防员、医生、护士，还有路过的普通人，都冲进燃烧的建筑，救助被困和受伤的人们。 美国各地的救援人员都赶来帮忙寻找幸存者。 有些英雄在救人的时候牺牲了。

Beginning to remember. In the days after September 11th, people wanted to show their support for the survivors and heroes and to remember the people who died. They wanted to make sure the events and people were remembered. The sites around the plane crashes were covered with cards, pictures, letters, American flags, and other special objects. People also covered the walls and sidewalks outside of police and fire stations with remembrances.

铭记的开端 911事件过后的几天里，人们想要向幸存者和英雄们表达支持，也缅怀逝去的生命。 他们希望这些事、这些人永远被铭记。 坠机地点周围摆满了卡片、画作、信件、美国国旗，还有许多别的寄托哀思的物品。 人们也在警局和消防站外的围墙、人行道上摆满了纪念物。

In New York City, people lit thousands of candles in different parks and wrote messages of support on long rolls of paper. Volunteers gave their time to help the rescue workers as they searched for survivors and cleaned up the debris. They gathered food and other supplies that the rescue workers needed.

在纽约，人们在各个公园点燃了数千根蜡烛，还在长卷纸上写下了支持的话语。 志愿者们主动帮忙，协助救援人员搜寻幸存者、清理废墟。 他们还募集了救援人员需要的食物和其他物资。

the spreading memorials. People all over the world began to send cards, letters, and other things to show their support. A group of children in Hawaii made leis, necklaces made of flowers, with messages written on them. They sent these messages to survivors and rescue workers at all three sites. The leis gave people hope and support. Many children used art to show the world how they felt about September 11th. Some drew, painted, and colored pictures of what they saw that day to help them feel better. Others sent letters of support with their art to the rescue workers, survivors, and the families of those who died.

遍布各地的纪念 全世界的人们都开始寄送卡片、信件和其他物品，表达他们的支持。 夏威夷的一群孩子做了夏威夷花环，也就是鲜花串成的项链，还在上面写下了祝福的话。 他们把这些祝福送给了三个袭击地点的幸存者和救援人员。 这些花环给人们带去了希望和支持。 许多孩子用艺术创作向世界表达了他们对911事件的感受。 有些孩子把那天的见闻画下来，以此疏解心中的情绪。 还有些孩子把画作和支持的信一起寄给了救援人员、幸存者和遇难者家属。
