The sculptor was inspired by the story of a woman who crossed Europe on foot after the war to find her husband. 在考文垂大教堂的废墟上有一尊雕塑，一男一女张开双臂拥抱彼此 。这尊塑像源自于一个女人在战后以步行的方式横跨欧洲千里寻夫的故 事。 Casts(铸件)of the same sculpture can be found in Belfast and Berlin, and it is simply called Reconciliation(调和、和谐). 相同的雕像还可以在贝尔法斯特和柏林被找到，人们赋予它一个简 单的名字，叫做“和解”。 Reconciliation is the peaceful end to conflict, and we were reminded of this(被提醒) in August when countries on both sides of the first world war came together to remember in peace. “和解”是一场冲突之后的和平结局。8月份的时候，当一战双方 国家聚集在一起和平纪念的时候，我们想起了这个这个词汇。 The ceramic poppies at the Tower of London drew millions(万人瞩目), and the only possible reaction to seeing them and walking among them was silence. For every poppy a life; and a reminder of(一个…的提醒之物) the grief of loved ones(至亲) left behind. 伦敦塔顶的陶瓷罂粟花万人瞩目，但真正看到它们并且在它们中间 穿过的时候，你唯一的反映就是沉默。每一朵罂粟花代表一个逝去的生 命，也是对至亲们的哀思。 No one who fought in that war is still alive, but we remember their sacrifice and indeed the sacrifice of all those in the armed forces(军队) who serve and protect us today. 参战的人可能已逝，但我们铭记他们的牺牲，同样也铭记那些当今 服务和保卫我们的陆海空三军将士们的贡献。 In 1914, many people thought the war would be over by Christmas, but sadly by then(在那个时候) the trenches were dug(战壕还在挖掘) and the future shape of the war in Europe was set. 1914年的时候，很多人以为战争会在圣诞前结束，不过不幸的是， 战壕却在进一步扩大，欧洲的战局也初步形成。 But, as we know, something remarkable(不同寻常的事情) did happen that Christmas, exactly a hundred years ago today. 但是，据我们所知，那个圣诞，也就是100年前的今天，的确发生 了一些不寻常的事情。 Without any instruction or command, the shooting stopped and German and British soldiers met in no man’s land(无人区). Photographs were taken and gifts exchanged(交换礼物). It was a Christmas truce
