We've endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years, and each time I learn the news, I react not as a president, but as anybody else would, as a parent.And that was especially true today.President Obama speaking last Friday about a shooting, it's at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.We’re going to be focusing exclusively on that story today.There are a lot of questions about what happened on Friday.Right now, there aren't very many answers, as people struggled to understand this tragedy, they are mourning the victims who lost their lives and looking for ways to honor those victims and support their families.President Obama ordered the flag at the U.S Capitol building, and at all U.S. government buildings to be lowered to half-staff on Friday.Governors across the country asked for flags in their states to be lowered as well.Messages of sympathy for the shooting victims came in from all over the world.A lot of people shared similar thoughts on social media.In the community of Newtown, where this happened, services and candle-light vigils like this one have had been going on since Friday night.There has been an emotional reaction to the shooting, as you might expect, you could see some of that emotion from President Obama when he talked about it on Friday.I know there is not a parent in America who doesn't feel the same overwhelming grief that I do.The majority of those who died today were children,beautiful little kids between the ages of five and ten years old.
我们在过去的几年里已经经历过太多这样的悲剧,但每次我听到这样的新闻,我的反应不是作为一位总统,而是像任何人一样,作为一位家长。而今天尤其如此。这是奥巴马总统上周五对发生在康涅狄格州的纽镇桑迪霍克小学一次枪击案演讲时所说的话。今天的节目中稍后我们将专门对此事进行报道。周五所发生的事情有很多质疑。现在,没有答案,因为人们争着试图来理解这起悲剧,他们为失去生命的受害者们感到悲哀,并寻找各种方式来纪念那些受害者及支持他们的家庭。奥巴马总统下国会大厦降半旗以表哀思，而所有美国政府办公大楼也要在周5降半旗。全国的州长们也要求在各自州降半旗。同情枪击事件受害者们的信息来自世界各地。很多人在社交媒体上共享类似的想法。在悲剧发生的纽镇社区,各种活动及像这样的烛光守夜从周五晚上已经开始。对于枪击案有一种情感,正如你所想,当奥巴马总统在这个星期五演讲时，你可能会看到总统的情感流露。我知道在美国父母们都像我一样有着撕心裂肺的悲痛。今天去世的大多数人还都是孩子, 年龄在五至十岁可爱的小孩子。
