they soon found out that
war was both boring and terrifying.

在炮火攻击下
1
如今，当我回首往事，我很惊讶我居然能如此生动地回忆起轰炸开始的情况
，
那天的色彩和紧张的情绪仍然清晰地印在我的脑海中。
那天，
我突然发现在晴朗
的天空中出现了<
/p>
12
个银色的小点儿，离我很远，发出不正常的嗡嗡声，这种声<
/p>
音我以前从来没听过。
那年我七岁，
就这
样站在一片草地上，
盯着天空中几乎不
怎么移动的小点儿。
2
突然，就在附近，森林的边缘，我听到
有巨大的炸弹爆炸的声音。在我这个小
孩的眼里，
我看到的是泥
土像巨大的喷泉一样冲到天上。
我想跑过去看看这个特
别的景象
，它让我感到害怕，但是也让我着迷，我还没有习惯战争，也不能把这
些飞机、
炸弹的轰鸣、
森林那边飞溅开来的泥土以及我看似必然的死亡联系成单<
/p>
一的因果关系。
没考虑有危险，
我开始朝
着投下炸弹的森林方向跑。
这时一只手
拉住了我，把我倒在地上
。
“趴下来，
”我听到母亲发抖的声音，
“不要动
!
”我还
记得母亲把我紧紧
贴在她身边，说的一些东西我并不知道，也并不理解其含义：
那是一条死路。
