你对你叔叔坟墓的所作所为是不可原谅的。

S4

Your mother blamed herself , as always . You didn ’t know what you were doing , she said . I could accept that when you traded the shofar I gave you for that eMotiv headset , perhaps , or even when you befriended those young toughs with the shaved heads and the filthy mouths . I would never have forgiven the swastika on your game pod but you are my daughter ’s son , not mine . Maybe it was only adolescent rebellion . How could you know , after all ? How could any child really know , here in 2017 ? Genocide is far too monstrous a thing for history books and grainy old photographs to convey . You were not there ; you could never understand .

T4

你母亲一如既往地自责。她说，你不知道自己在做什么。当你把我给你的 shofar 换成 eMotiv 耳机的时候，或许，甚至当你和那些剃了光头、满嘴污言秽语的年轻恶棍成为朋友的时候我都还能接受。但我永远也不会原谅你在游戏用 Ipod 上面画的纳粹党徽，你只是我女儿的儿子，不是我儿子。也许这只是青春期的叛逆。可你怎么会懂？在 2017 年，这里的孩子怎么可能真正会懂？在历史书和粗糙的老照片中，种族灭绝是一件多么可怕的事情。你没有身临其境，你永远不会懂。

S5

We told ourselves you were a good boy at heart , that it was ancient history to you , abstract and unreal . Both of us doctors , familiar with the sad stereo type of the self - loathing Jew , we talked ourselves into treating you like some kind of victim . And then the police brought you back from the cemetery and you looked at us with those dull , indifferent eyes , and I stopped making excuses . It wasn ’t just your uncle ’s grave . You were spitting on six million others , and you knew , and it meant nothing .

T5

我们告诉自己，你本质上是个好孩子，对你来说，这是一段古老的历史，抽象而不真实。我们两个都是医生，都熟悉犹太人那种令人悲伤的自卑的样子，我们说服自己把你当成某种受害者。警察把你从墓地带回来时，你用迟钝、冷漠的眼神看着我们，我不再原谅你了。这不仅仅是你叔叔的坟墓。你是在侮辱其他六百万人，你懂了也于事无补。
