We are approximately 11 miles away from Fort Monroe, where the first African-Americans arrived approximately 400 years ago.

我们距离门罗堡大约11英里，那里是大约400年前第一批非洲裔美国人抵达的地方。

I am Robin Hunt-Crenshaw, the principal here at George P. Phenix Pre-K through 8 school. The school is predominantly African-American.

我叫罗宾·亨特·克伦肖，是乔治·P·菲尼克斯学前至八年级学校的校长。这所学校的学生以非裔美国人为主。

Today, I will be meeting with 3rd and 4th grade students to discuss the issues of slavery, what they know about slavery.

今天，我将与三年级和四年级的学生会面，讨论奴隶制的问题，以及他们对奴隶制的了解。

We need to learn about slavery because in the upcoming generations we can't all just believe that this country was always different races combined together.

我们需要了解奴隶制，因为在未来的几代人中，我们不能都认为这个国家一直都是不同种族融合在一起的。

We have to know what our history was. There was land taken from different races because they were that race.

我们必须了解我们的历史。曾有不同种族的土地被夺走，只因为他们属于那个种族。

And I don't feel like any of that is right because we're all human beings.

我认为这是不对的，因为我们都是人类。

Now we're allowed to do stuff that we couldn't do before. We have to know, this is why we're free and this is why we can do this.

现在，我们可以做以前做不到的事情。我们必须明白，这就是我们自由的原因，也是我们能这样做的原因。

Some people say it was nice back then, but it wasn't always nice.

有些人说过去的时光很美好，但并非总是如此。

Almost two years ago, in Charlottesville, Virginia, there was people in their cars who was running over people.

大约两年前，在弗吉尼亚州的夏洛茨维尔，有人开车撞向人群。

Me and my family took a trip and while we were on our way, we were driving in Charlottesville and we had to be very careful.

我和家人旅行途径夏洛茨维尔时，必须非常小心。

I've seen on the news where a black man was trying to ask for directions and he knocked on a white person's house.

我在新闻上看到一个黑人想问路，他敲了白人的房门。

The husband, he went and got the gun and chased the black man off. So, I thought that might have been, well, was it because he was black?

房间里的丈夫拿起了枪，把那个黑人赶走了。我当时就在想，会不会是因为他是黑人呢？

Or did they think he was trying to, like, steal something? And I thought it was really mean.

或者他们认为那个黑人想偷东西？我觉得这很刻薄。

Black males and females that are getting shot. People are losing their lives and they haven't done anything. So I think we can improve that.

黑人男性与女性被射杀。他们什么都没做错就失去了生命。我想我们可以改善这种情况。

Like he said, people are, innocent people are getting shot for no reason.

正如你说的，那些人是无辜的，他们被无缘无故地射杀。

We could change that. There's a whole lot more to be improved. We as Americans have to be united.

我们可以改变这一点。还有很多方面有待改进。我们作为美国人必须团结起来。

We live in the United States. United means that we're all in this together but people aren't getting treated fairly because people are not doing the right thing and we should all do the right thing because we're in this together.

我们住在美国。“United”意味着要团结一致，但是人们没有得到公平的对待，因为人们没有做正确的事，而我们都应该做正确的事，因为我们同舟共济。
