上周,我们做出了决定。我们准备出去清理砖块。我们附近的妇女每天都在那里工作。特吕默女士。他们清除了砖块上所有的水泥痕迹。他们堆放在独轮手推车里。将它们存入存款。我们将用这些砖块来重建柏林。这是一项有用但令人筋疲力尽的任务。
(Last week, we made a decision. We were going to go out to clear the bricks. Women in our neighborhood worked there daily. The Trümmerfrauen. They cleaned the bricks of all traces of cement. They stack in wheelbarrows. Carried them into a deposit. We would use the bricks to reconstruct Berlin. A useful, but exhausting task.)
