伊拉克幸运少年实现伟大梦想翻译：王冰清 Weve gonna move now to Iraq but not to a story about a bomb or a kidnapping[绑架]. Dan Harris recently met a remarkable[非凡的] teenager. His name is Dan Azad. Hes 18 years old and he’s a student at Baghdad’s Ballet and Music School. And his story sheds a little bit of light on what gets him and so many of the country’s youth through the day.

Harris: That’s sad that you get used to it. Azad: Yeah I know. What we can do? Nothing. They reacted to Dan?s having his best friend, Mohammed, shot dead before his eyes.
