'Dragan,' he said, 'your people are not our people.'
“德拉甘，”他说，“你们和我们不是一种人。”
I looked at Nina. She was quiet, and watched my father carefully, but she said nothing. Dragan looked worried.
我看着尼娜。她不作声，小心翼翼地看着爸爸，却一句话也不说。德拉甘看上去有些担忧。
'We live on this side of the river, and your people live on the other side,' my father said.
“我们住在河的这边，你们住在河的那边。”我爸爸说。
'We have our places of worship, and you have yours. We are different.
“我们有我们做礼拜的地方，你们也有你们的。你们和我们是不同的。
We have our ways, and your people have their ways. It was like that when I was a boy, and it is still like that now.'
我们有我们的方式，你们有你们的方式。我还是个孩子的时候就是如此，至今也依然如此。”
Then he smiled. 'But we can be friends,' he said. 'You are a good man, and my daughter loves you.
然后他笑了。“但我们可以做朋友。”他说，“你是个好人，我的女儿爱你。
Anybody can see that. Our door is always open to you, Dragan.'
大家都能看出来。我们家的门永远为你打开，德拉甘。”
'Thank you,' said Dragan quietly. And Nina smiled - at him, at my father, at me, at everybody.
“谢谢。”德拉甘轻声说。尼娜笑了——冲着德拉甘，冲着我爸爸，冲着我，冲着每一个人笑了。
After that, they were always together. At the university, at home, in town - it was always Nina and Dragan.
从那以后，他们形影不离。在大学，在家，在城里——总能看到两人在一起。
They studied together and went to parties together. They were two young people, happy and in love.
他们一起学习，一起参加派对。他们是两个快乐且沐浴在爱河中的年轻人。
And then the war began. At first things were difficult, but they could still meet sometimes.
随后战争爆发了。开始的时候，情况不好，但他们有时还能见面。
But then things began to change. When the university closed, Nina and Dragan could not see each other every day.
可是后来形势就改变了。大学停了课，尼娜和德拉甘不能天天见面了。
They talked on the phone, but it was not the same.
他们打电话，但是电话与见面是不一样的。
'I can't live without him,' Nina said to us one night, with tears on her face. 'I must see him! I must.'
“我的生命里不能没有他。”有天晚上，尼娜流着泪对我们说，“我一定要见到他！一定要。”
