6、失親人心中的創(chuàng)傷。如果有任何可以找得到的安慰，也許只能從上帝那里尋找得到，上帝安慰我們痛苦的頭腦，修復(fù)破碎的心，減輕我們哀痛的內(nèi)心。Evenaswemourn29liveslostwealsoremember29liveslived.Upat4:30a.m.5:00inthemningatthelatesttheybegantheirdayastheywkedindarkness.Incoverallshardtoebootsahard

9、他們在黑暗中工作。穿著工作服和硬頭靴，頭戴安全帽，靜坐著開始一小時(shí)的征程，去到五英里遠(yuǎn)的礦井，唯一的燈光是從他們頭戴的安全帽上發(fā)出的，或是進(jìn)入時(shí)礦山沿途的光線。日以繼夜，他們挖掘煤炭，這也是他們勞動(dòng)的果實(shí)，我們對此卻不以為然：這照亮一個(gè)會議中心的電能；點(diǎn)亮我們教堂或家園、學(xué)校、辦公室的燈光；讓我們國家運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的能源；讓世界維持的能源。3aboutthepeopleofWestVirginia.It’sthesongLeanonMe–anan

10、themoffriendshipbutalsoananthemofcommunityofcomingtogether.在礦里，為了他們的家人，他們自己組成了家庭：慶祝彼此的生日，一同休憩，一同看橄欖球或籃球，一同消磨時(shí)間，打獵或是釣魚。他們可能不總是喜歡這些事情，但他們喜歡一起去完成。他們喜歡像一個(gè)家庭那樣去做這些事。他們喜歡像一個(gè)社區(qū)一樣去做這些事。這也是美國人熟知的一首歌里表達(dá)的精神。我想，讓大多數(shù)人驚訝的是這首歌實(shí)際是一名礦工的兒

11、子所寫，關(guān)于貝克利這個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)的，關(guān)于西弗吉尼亞人民的。這首歌曲，“靠著我”（LeanonMe）是關(guān)于友誼的贊歌，但也是關(guān)于社區(qū)關(guān)于一同相聚的贊歌。Thatcommunitywasrevealedfalltoseeintheminuteshoursdaysafterthetragedy.Rescuersriskingtheirownsafetyscouringnarrowtunnelssaturatedwithmethanecarbonmo
