0What is life like with a parent in the military? | Newsround
This is Lily. And this is Lily's family. Lily's dad is in the army, so her and her sister Daisy are some of the 100,000 military children in the UK. April is the month of the military child. It's all about recognising the challenges they face and the sacrifices they have to make. Lily and her family live on a big army base and Lily is about to give me a bit of a tour.
这是莉莉。这是莉莉的家人。莉莉的爸爸在军队服役，所以她和她的妹妹黛西是英国10万名军人儿童中的一部分。四月是军人孩子月。这个月的重点是认识到他们面临的挑战和他们必须做出的牺牲。莉莉和她的家人住在一个很大的军事基地里，莉莉要带我去参观一下。
So we're at a special checkpoint, what does that mean? So it's where like military people come here to sign in with their special ID card. And if you're not in the military can you still come inside? I think you need to talk to like the people that work here about it. So it's to get like special permission? Yes.
我们在一个特殊的检查站，这是什么意思？所以就像军人来这里用他们的特殊身份证登记一样。如果你不是军人，你还能进来吗？我觉得你应该和在这里工作的人说一下。所以是为了得到特别许可吗？是的。
So, where are we now? We're at my dad's tank warehouse. And do you come here a lot? Not often because it is quite dangerous. Yeah, yeah. Because there are some massive tanks around.
那么，我们现在在哪里？我们在我爸爸的坦克仓库。你经常来这里吗？不是经常，因为它是相当危险的。是啊，是啊。因为这附近有很多大型坦克。
Yeah. Like a lot of us, Lily doesn't know exactly what her dad does for a job, so we thought we'd ask. So infantry are frontline soldiers, and we go ahead of everybody else. In these big vehicles, if you go round, you've got the engine blocked. There's plenty of room. We can fit seven troops inside. They can store all their kit, what they can live in. Now, the longest I've lived out of these warriors is up to a month.
是的。和我们很多人一样 莉莉 不知道她爸爸是做什么工作的，所以我们想问问。步兵是前线士兵，我们走在别人前面。在这些大型车辆里，如果你绕过去，你就会把引擎堵住。还有很多地方。里面可以容纳七个人。他们可以储存所有的装备，他们可以住在里面。现在，我从这些战士身边离开的最长时间是一个月。
It kind of smells. Yeah, it smells a bit dusky. OK, where to next? Have you lived here for a long time? Yeah, about six and a half years. A lot of military families move around quite a lot, right? Yeah. Yeah, I've moved like three times. What are the main things that are the best things about living here? I really like all the woods. The woods are like really fun to go through. It took me like two years to understand like everywhere, like where to go and that. Yeah. What's an annoying thing about living here? I think it's like upsetting when my dad goes away. And what about the best thing? When you lose a friend, you also like find a new friend.
有点臭。是的，它闻起来有点暗淡。好的，下一步去哪里？你在这里住了很长时间吗？是的，大约六年半。很多军人家庭经常搬家，对吧？是的。是的，我已经搬了三次家了。住在这里最好的事情是什么？我真的很喜欢所有的树林。树林真的很有趣。我花了两年时间才明白到处都是，比如去哪里等等。是的。住在这里有什么烦人的事情？我觉得这就像我爸爸走了一样难过。那么最好的事情呢？当你失去一个朋友时，你也喜欢寻找一个新朋友。
Military families move around a lot, so the friends you make might leave. But new ones could arrive too. Speaking of finding friends, here's Daisy and Lily's friend Caitlin. One of the reasons there's a special month to think about military children is because of all the sacrifices you might have to make. Do you feel like you have had to make a lot of sacrifices? One big sacrifice is leaving your mates that you're quite close with, and then keeping in touch with them. Maybe not, you never know.
军人家庭经常搬家，所以你结交的朋友可能会离开。但是新的也会到来。说到交朋友这是黛西和莉莉的朋友凯特琳。有一个特殊的月份需要考虑军人子女的原因之一就是你可能要做出的所有牺牲。你是否觉得自己不得不做出很多牺牲？一个巨大的牺牲就是离开你非常亲密的朋友，然后和他们保持联系。也许不会，谁知道呢。
What sort of things do you worry about when your parents go away with work? If he's safe. Yeah. Like, doing all right. If he's, for me, eating properly. Making sure he's drinking enough as well. Yeah. And what do you do as friends to sort of support each other? We just talk to each other a lot, play outside with each other a lot, have lots of sleepovers, and also just talk to each other about stuff. Basically, we just don't focus about the stuff that's going on.
当你的父母下班后，你会担心什么事情？他是否安全。比如，是否一切顺利。对我来说，他是否吃得很好。确保他也喝得好。作为朋友，你们会做些什么来互相支持？我们只是经常交谈，经常在外面玩，经常过夜，也只是互相谈论一些事情。基本上，我们会避免谈正发生的事情。
Lily has a special talent that also helps to keep her busy. I do jiu-jitsu. It's a type of martial art and it's like a really good distraction, especially when my dad's away. Lily also won an extra special medal for being Little Trooper of the Month. Little Troopers is a charity that supports children with parents in the Army, Navy or RAF. Go Lily.
莉莉有一种特殊的天赋，这也有助于她保持忙碌。我会柔道。这是一种武术，可以很好地分散注意力，尤其是我爸爸不在的时候。莉莉还获得了一枚额外的特殊奖章，因为她是本月的小骑兵。小骑兵是一个慈善机构，为父母在陆军、海军或英国皇家空军服役的儿童提供支持。加油，莉莉。
