在红军过草地的时候,指导员派老炊事班长来照顾我们三个得病而又年轻的同志走出草地。
When the Red Army was crossing the grassland, the instructor sent the old chief cook to take care of the three sick and young comrades.
我们三个走不快,一天只能走20来里路。不到半个月我们的粮食就没有了。有一天,老班长在水塘边洗衣服时,发现有几条鱼跳出了水面,老班长跑回来用针做了一个鱼钩。这几天我们就有鱼吃了。
The three of us can't walk fast. We can only walk 20 miles a day. In less than half a month our food will be gone. One day, when the old monitor was washing clothes by the pond, he found that several fish jumped out of the water. The old captain came back and made a hook with a needle. We have fish to eat these days.
老班长为我们做饭,可我们一直没见他吃过,我问他,他总答:“我刚起锅就吃了。”有一次,吃完饭,我偷偷的跟着老班长,只见他捧起我们吃剩下的鱼刺,我的心无比难过,忍不住喊了出来,老班长听见了,让我别给那两位年轻的同志说,后来又跟我讲了许多话。
The old monitor cooked for us, but we never saw him eat. I asked him, and he always replied, "I just started to eat." Once, after dinner, I secretly followed the old monitor. He picked up the fish bones we had left. My heart was very sad, and I couldn't help shouting. The old monitor heard that. He asked me not to talk to the two young comrades. Later, he said a lot to me.
第二天,我们三个小同志不知怎么了,都吃不下去这个鱼。老班长鼓励我们要面对现实。
The next day, the three of us, somehow, couldn't eat the fish. The old monitor encouraged us to face the reality.
在老班长的鼓励下我们走到了草地的边际,可是老班长却昏迷不醒了,我赶快去钓鱼,等我钓完鱼的时候老班长已经奄奄一息了,老班长说他不能吃鱼,让我们把鱼吃了,要走出草地。最后牺牲了。
With the encouragement of the old monitor, we went to the edge of the grassland, but the old monitor was unconscious. I went fishing quickly. When I finished fishing, the old monitor was dying. The old monitor said he could not eat fish. Let's eat the fish and get out of the grassland. In the end.
我一定要把这个金色的鱼钩放在革命烈士纪念官中。
I must put this golden fishhook in the revolutionary martyr memorial office.
