　　 BESLAN, Russia (AP) — Holding up the corpse of a man just shot dead in front of hundreds of hostages at a Russian school, the rebel — his pockets stuf fed with ammunition and grenades — warned: “If a child utters even a sound, we’ll kill another one.“
　　
　　一个叛匪举起刚刚在众人面前打死的一个男子的尸体警告说：“如果哪个孩子敢发出哪怕一点动静，我们将再杀一个！”他的口袋里塞满了弹药和手雷。
　　
　　
　　When children fainted from lack of sleep, food and water, their masked and camouflaged captors simply sneered. In the intolerable heat of the gym, adult s implored children to drink their own urine.
　　
　　当孩子们因为缺少睡眠，食物，和水而昏厥过去的时候，这些戴着面具化了装的绑架者仅仅是冷笑几声。在体育馆令人难以忍受的闷热中，大人们恳求孩子们喝自己的尿液。
　　
　　Hours after escaping alive, a woman who had been taken hostage with her 7-year-old son and her mother spoke of three days of unspeakable horror — of children so wired with fear they couldn’t sleep, of captors coolly threateningto kill off hostages one by one, of a gymnasium so cramped there was hardly room to move.
　　
　　在逃生后几个小时，一个被绑架的女子和她七岁的儿子以及她的母亲谈起了这三天无以名状的恐怖：孩子们因为恐惧无法入睡，绑匪无情的威胁去一个个杀掉人质，体育馆拥挤不堪，几乎连挪动的空间都没有。
