这个6岁男孩写给总统奥巴马的信，感动了世界亿万人,美国研究生留学微信公众号文章

他叫奥姆兰，5岁，在叙利亚的战火中，曾让世界为之心碎。

他叫亚历克斯，6岁，成长在美国纽约，过着无忧无虑的幸福生活。

就在最近，亚历克斯用他稚嫩的字体，写了一封信给美国总统奥巴马。

Dear President Obama,

Remember the boy who was picked up by the ambulance in Syria? Can you please go get him and bring him to our home?

Park in the driveway or on the street and we will be waiting for you guys with flags, flowers, and balloons. We will give him a family and he will be our brother. Catherine, my little sister, will be collecting butterflies and fireflies for him.

In my school, I have a friend from Syria, Omar, and I will introduce him to Omar. We can all play together. We can invite him to birthday parties and he will teach us another language. We can teach him English too, just like my friend Aoto from Japan.

Please tell him that his brother will be Alex who is a very kind boy, just like him. Since he won’t bring toys and doesn’t have toys, Catherine will share her big blue stripy white bunny. And I will share my bike and I will teach him how to ride it. I will teach him additions and subtractions in math. And he can smell Catherine’s lip gloss penguin which is green. She doesn’t let anyone touch it.

Thank you very much! I can’t wait for you to come!
Alex

在信里，

亚历克斯说：

亲爱的奥巴马总理

还记得那个叙利亚救护车上的男孩吗？

我可不可以请你去找他，

并把他带到我家来？

我们会给他一个家

他将是我们的兄弟

本月21日，美国总统奥巴马在联合国大会难民问题领导人峰会（Leaders Summit on Refugees）上，把信读给了与会者。

奥巴马在演讲时说：

The humanity that a young child can display, who hasn’t learned to be cynical, or suspicious, or fearful of other people because of where they’re from, or how they look, or how they pray, and who just understands the notion of treating somebody that is like him with compassion, with kindness -- we can all learn from Alex.

这个孩子还未学会因为他人的国籍，外表，祈祷方式而对他们报着嘲讽，疑虑或担心的态度。他只知道要带着同情善意去对待和他一样的人——这个孩子身上所展现出来的善意，可以让我们学到很多。

Alex小朋友读信的视频很暖

On social media, many users applauded the president's approach - but reserved most of their praise for young Alex.

在社交媒体上，很多网友为奥巴马的做法点赞——但是，大家还是把更多的赞扬送给了小Alex。

"A six year old who has more humanity, love, and understanding than most adults. Kudos to his parents."
“一个六岁的小男孩，比大部分成年人心怀更多的人性，爱和理解。为他的父母点赞。”

据CNN报道：

At the time of writing the post has collected more than 100,000 "likes" and been shared more than 60,000 times, with many Facebook users praising the compassion shown by Alex.
截止发稿时，这封信的推送已经获得超过10万个喜欢，超过6万次的转发，许多Facebook用户纷纷赞扬Alex的同情心。

在如此广泛热切的讨论下，这封信，无疑把大家对叙利亚战争和难民的关注推向了一个小高潮。那下面简单介绍一下叙利亚战争背景。

叙利亚战争背景简介

叙利亚国内危机根源由来已久，伊斯兰不同宗派之间本就难以相容，而殖民统治遗留下少数统治多数的局势又使族群之间的压迫争斗愈演愈烈。

地区大国与世界性强国都将叙利亚视为利益要地，纷纷出手干预，也加剧了冲突力量的复杂交缠。

在叙利亚政府方面，政府力量、民兵组织受到伊朗和俄罗斯等国的支持；而美欧与沙特则站在反政府武装一面，但又对不同组织区别看待，一些被划为恐怖主义者，另一些则是自由民主的斗士。

动乱局势为恐怖主义的滋长提供沃土，叙利亚便成为ISIS的活跃根据地。

联合国、欧盟以及世界大国磋商斡旋，数次促成停火协议，但往往不过几日就又被战火打破。

在叙利亚纷飞的战火中，最可怜无助的，无疑是那些孩子们，他们还未见识过这个世界的美好，却带着满眼的黑暗离开了。

我们能做的实在太少，只能祈祷不再有战争，所有孩子都能像Alex一样善良、快乐地长大。
