如果有百姓向西迁徙 If people are moving west
也是为了躲避战争 it is also to avoid the war
从民族的角度 From the perspective of the Chinese people

你这不是傻吗 Don't be stupid
叫战区法庭 显得咱这法庭大 War Area sounds like it's a big proper court

我来中国三十年了 I've been in China for thirty years now
前十年 我想我是了解这个地方的 For the first ten years NI thought I knew this place
后来就越来越不明白了 But then I became more and more uncertain
我离开重庆的时候 When I left Chungking
只知道这里发生了灾荒 I knew there was a famine
但是我 But I
没有想到 I had no idea
情况会这么糟糕 how severe it would be
每天都有人被饿死 Every day people are dying
有人死去我可以接受 The dead alone don't sadden me
但让我难过的是 What saddens me is
我弄不明白到底是怎么回事 I have no idea what's happening
这么多灾民颠沛流离 The refugees trudge forward every day
我却看不到 And I can't see
政府的援助 a government stepping in to assist them
我跟你一样不明白 We both do not understand
为什么会是这样 what is happening with the Chinese refugees
政府官员都说 The government officials say
战时无法救灾 they can't help the refugees because of the war
但是仗又打得一塌糊涂 but they are not doing Nso well in the battles either
谢谢 Thank you
这个 This
在饥荒前 Before the famine
农民拿它喂猪 farmers used this to feed their pigs
祝你好胃口 Bon appetit
我其实很喜欢吃红薯 I actually like yams
太好了 Oh good
我能尽全力给你找了一头驴 The donkey is the best I can do for you
但我还是劝你回重庆 But I urge you to return to Chungking
河南我来对了 I'm glad to come to Henan
这背后 一定另有原因 There must be a reason behind what is happening
我想了解真相 I want to know the truth
日本人正在占领河南 Henan now belongs to the Japanese
你继续往灾区走 If you continue into the disaster area
会有两种结果 there are two possible results:
一 One
你得了普利策奖 you win a Pulitzer Prize

给口吃的就长起来了 Feed her something and she will grow
就是把她当童养媳卖了 If we buy her as a child bride
也得白吃几年粮食 we still need to feed her for a few years

你们回避 Leave the room
怎么了 What's wrong
委员长从缅甸前线来电 The Generalissimo sent a telegram Nfrom the front in Burma
让我们有序地撤出河南 ordering us to retreat from Henan
错了吧 Are you sure
为什么要把河南拱手让给日本人 Why singlehandedly give Henan to the Japanese
长官 Sir
河南有那么多灾民 there are so many refugees in Henan
现在部队不战而撤 If we retreat
不是把他们甩给日本人了 we'll be abandoning them to the Japanese
也许正是因为这次灾太大了 Maybe that's exactly why
委员长才出此下策 the Generalissimo made his decision
国家贫弱 Our country is poor
只有甩包袱才能顾住大局 The only way to survive Nis to cast off our burdens

巡回法庭现在改救护车了 This court is now an ambulance

我是个逃兵 I'm a deserter
我坐着溃兵的卡车 I came back here
逃到了这里 on a truck with the defeated soldiers
那就在我这儿歇息一阵 You need to rest
也不能为了传教让你饿死在路上 You must not starve to death
如果你死了就不能继续传教了 A dead priest cannot preach
我来是为了问你一件事 I want to ask you one question
这里发生的一切 主知道吗 The Lord knows what's happening here
知道 Yes
既然知道 If He knows
他为什么不管 why doesn't He do anything
世上发生的一切 Everything in this world
都是主的旨意 because of the Lord's wishes
这不是 This is not
上帝的旨意 the wishes of the Lord
这是魔鬼干的 This is caused by the Devil
为什么 Why
上帝为什么总是斗不过魔鬼 Why the Devil always win
如果斗不过魔鬼 If the Lord can't win
信他有什么用 why believe
小安 Father Sim
你累了 you're tired
你不能怀疑上帝 You mustn't doubt the Lord

你怎么把他打锅里头了你 You couldn't push him somewhere else

那天你们说去偷驴 You were going to steal a donkey

你们得赔我 You've got to make it right
这逃荒路上 天天死人 People have been dying every day on this road

为什么他们都在往西走 Why is everybody heading west
其实是习惯 Well habit I think
河南人一遇灾就往陕西逃荒 People in Henan always go west to Shaanxi Nwhen there is a disaster
就像山东人一遇灾就往东北逃荒一样 Just like people in Shandong go to the Northeast
这么大的灾害仅仅是干旱导致的 How can a drought produce such a disaster
这有这么多的灾民 there are so many displaced people here

对不起人家亲家 letting her die like this
你干什么 What are you doing
趁她身子热 Give the baby some milk
叫孩子再吃口奶 while her body is still warm
天爷呀 My god
怎么了 What
她五天都没有吃东西了 She hasn't eaten in five days
身子瘦得跟把柴火一样 She is as thin as a stick
哪儿来的奶 How can she have milk
诸位 Gentlemen
经过省政府广泛和急切地呼吁 After urgent appeals from Nthe provincial government
中央政府已开始对河南救灾 the central government has started Nproviding relief aid to Henan
从本月起 Starting this month
中央政府陆续 the central government
从军粮储备中抽出 will provide 80 million pounds of grain
八千万斤粮食给我们 from the military provisions
诸位 Gentlemen
这都是李主席念民众于水火 Governor Li's deep concern for the public welfare
不怕丢官 冒死诤谏换来的 and fearless dedication have finally paid off
李主席亲赴重庆不说 He not only went to Chungking
还一连上了六道折子 but he also submitted six reports
河南人民世世代代 Future generations of Henanese
将铭记李主席的恩情 will remember Governor Li's kindness
还是研究赈粮发放的问题 Let's discuss the matter of Ndelivering the relief grain
是 Yes,Sir
开赈灾会议 How can we have this meeting
粮政厅长财政厅长 The heads of the grain and account departments
都不在场 are both absent
不妥吧 That's not right
粮政厅老卢 财政厅老彭 Mr Lu and Mr Peng have gone to
到下面视察灾情去了 Luoyang to inspect the disaster
救灾刻不容缓咱就不等了 We can't delay relief efforts by another moment
弄了半天 After all our begging
才八千万斤 they're only offering 80 million pounds
去年鄂西受灾 When there was a famine in Hubei last year
政府拨给他们二万万斤 the government gave more than 200 million pounds
咱河南人就这么好欺负 Do we sell ourselves so cheaply in Henan
八千万斤够干什么 Is 80 million pounds enough
河南有三千万人 We have 30 million people
每人才得二斤半 Each person only gets two and half pounds
够吃三天 That's enough for three days
三天以后怎么办 What happens after that
老方 Mr Fang
给你八千万斤 getting 80 million pounds
就比要走八千万斤好吧 is better than having to give 80 million pounds
给过八千万 After we get this
我们接着再要 we can ask for more
八千万也能解燃眉之急 80 million is enough to Ntake care of the emergency
说不定就能 It may even save
少饿死几十万人 a few hundred thousand people
是吧 Am I right
今天开会 Today
主要是 the main task
划一下灾区 is to define the disaster areas
灾区还用划分 Define the disaster areas
整个河南都是灾区 The entire province is a disaster area
方厅长 Mr Fang
这不正是因为僧多粥少 It is precisely because there is Nnot enough to go around
咱才不能撒胡椒盐 that we can't distribute grain at random
才要突出重点 We have to focus on the worst areas
我同意突出重点 I agree that we should focus our efforts
但过去一遭灾 But in the past
我们就把重点放在了乡村 we've concentrated on rural areas
忽略了城市 and neglected the cities
而最后呢问题恰恰出在城市 And it's in the cities that we see the problems
不是城市这块归我管 I'm not saying this just because cities
我才这么说 are my jurisdiction
而是上回黄河发大水 But remember when the Yellow River flooded
市民砸了省政府这是有教训的 and the provincial government was attacked
突出重点 When choosing our focus
也要照顾一下行业 We should consider certain professions
不是我是教育厅长我才这么说 I'm not saying this because NI'm in charge of education
而教育救国 but education is our future
一直是委员长所提倡的 The Generalissimo has always said so
我们不能只顾灾民 We mustn't focus on the refugees
不考虑特殊群体 at the expense of other groups
把老师和学生都饿死了 If our teachers and students starve to death
我们就没有未来 we'll have no future to save
要说重点 So far as focus goes
我身为警察署长 as the captain of police
一定得替十几万担惊受怕的警察说几句话 I need to speak up for the hundreds of Nthousands of police who are also frightened
因为他们正在重点上忙活 Because they're busy in our areas of focus
哪里有乱子 Wherever there's trouble
哪里就有他们 they're there to keep order
我斗胆说句话 I dare say
如果不是十几万警察 if it weren't for the thousands of police braving
忍饥挨饿地维持社会治安 hunger and enforcing law and order
河南早出了洪秀全和李自成了 we would already have had a revolution in Henan
那八千万斤够干什么 80 million pounds is not enough for anything
你们警察跟人家灾民一块 The police are among the refugees
吵什么 What are you arguing for
政府不救灾 Before we got this aid
你们每天长吁短叹 you were constantly complaining about it
现在救灾了 Now that we've got it
你们倒在这里吵起来打起来 you're tearing each other to pieces over it
早知这样 If I'd known
这八千万斤我就不要了 I never would have asked
现在打一个电报退回中央还来得及 It's still not too late to send the grain back
诸位 Gentlemen
各部门都在强调各自的困难 Each department is focused on its own problems
说的也都有各自的道理 You all have good reasons
至于哪些是灾民 As for how we define who's a refugee
哪些不是灾民 And who isn't
咱们可以再研究 we can discuss that later
省里想要强调的是 I must emphasize that
灾粮的发放 in distributing this relief grain
那绝不能各自为政 we cannot be selfish
还是要在省政府的统一领导下进行 We must act under the leadership of Nthe provincial government
既然是这样 If that's how it is
还召集我们开会干什么 why bother having this meeting
你们两个私下决定不就行了 Can't the two of you just decide Nbetween yourselves
我说老方 Fang
你这话什么意思 搞什么名堂 what are you trying to say
主席 急电 Telegram Mr Governor
今天怎么回事 What's going on today
主席 Governor
是不是又出什么岔子 What now
中央收回成命了 Does the government want to take it back
中央倒没收回成命 The government doesn't want it back
蒋鼎文抄了我们的后路 We've been ambushed by Jiang Dingwen
我们不是欠了蒋鼎文三千万斤军粮吗 Remember the 30 million pounds of grain he wanted
他把咱们粮政厅老卢 He's detained the head of Nthe grain department Lao Lu
财政厅老彭 and the head of the accounts department Lao Peng
给扣下了 They are both with Jiang
叫咱们拿粮食去换人 He'll release them in exchange for grain
你们都很有口才 You all like arguing so much
看谁去见蒋鼎文 Why don't you go argue with Jiang Dingwen
大灾之年 In a famine year
给蒋鼎文送这么大的礼 giving Jiang Dingwen a gift like this
我也同流合污了 I'm no better than the rest of them
蒋鼎文他吃这一套 Jiang Dingwen will take bribes
送三百万斤粮食的礼 A gift of 3 million pounds of grain
能把人质换回来不说 will not only get us our hostages back
说不定那三千万斤军粮还能豁免 but it might even change his mind Nabout the 30 million pounds
河南人民也算是善莫大焉 That would be in Henan's best interests too
主席 Governor Li
换金条的时候 When I exchanged gold bars
我索性多换了五十万斤 I bought an extra 500,000 pounds of grain
胡闹 What
怎么不跟我报告 Why didn't you tell me
省政府开会您也看到了 You were at the meeting
你就是把粮食全部按场口发放 No one will think you're right
也没有人说你的好 if you allocate all of the grain as planned
反倒会惹出新的麻烦 It'll only cause more problems
这个老方 Old Fang
一开会就放炮 is always making trouble at meetings
这什么意思 I don't know what he wants
他民政厅长当了多年 He headed up the civil affairs department Nfor a long time
你没来之前 Before you came
行政院本来是内定的他来当这个主席 he was the top choice to be governor
委员长后来改了主意不是 Then Generalissimo Chiang changed his mind
那我可以马上向委员长辞职 I can contact Generalissimo Chiang Nimmediately and resign
让他来当 He can take over
让他去求蒋鼎文好了 He can go speak to Jiang Dingwen
五十万斤换的也不算多 500,000 pounds is not very much
接着再向中央要粮食 If you want the central government Nto give you more
您就不到重庆去走动了 then don't you need to pay visits to others
这个官场待不下去了 I can't stay on as an official
我应该解甲归田 I should retire and go home
主席 Governor Li
如果我们要解甲归田 If we'd retired
那说不定现在真成灾民了 we'd probably be refugees now too
现在广播 This is a broadcast from
第一战区政治部 the first military district's political department
和洛阳市政府联合公告 and the Luoyang municipal government

政府划定的灾区是豫北和豫南 The government has identified two disaster areas Nnorthern and southern Henan
你现在到了洛阳 Now that you're in Luoyang
你就不是灾民了 you're no longer considered a refugee

不准搞投机倒把 You must not act out of self interest
请军需官放心 Trust me sir
