不久前,纽约哥伦比亚大学的心理学教授乔治·伯纳诺教授发表了文章《一个国家能承受多少》,其中提到日本人应对灾难的奇异心理状态。日本的确很特别,它是世界上唯一一个经历过核毁灭的恐怖并存活下来的国家。根据美国随军记者乔治·维勒的回忆,长崎原子弹爆炸不到一个月,就有火车带来了返乡的幸存者。他们两手空空回到满目疮痍的城市,找出原来的家所在的位置,种上植物,重新开始生活。 Not long ago Professor George Bernardo, a professor of psychology at Columbia University in New York, published an article entitled “How much a country can bear”, referring to the Japanese’s singular psychological state of response to disasters. Japan is indeed special. It is the only country in the world that has survived the horrors of nuclear annihilation. According to the memory of George Weller, a U.S. military correspondent, less than a month after the Nagasaki nuclear bombing, trains brought home the survivors. They returned to devastated cities empty-handedly, finding out where the original home was, planting plants and restarting life.
