The Monster's Enemy
魔鬼的天敌
作者：Nina Zhan / 娇娇 / 12岁

We have fallen in the clutches,
The clutches full of virus;
As he sits high from above,
Watching prey to fall;
Into the trap he has made,

我们掉入了陷阱
陷阱里弥漫着病毒
它高高地坐在上方
看着猎物掉入它的陷阱

Again and again he waves his wand;
To cast viruses on unfortunate souls,
Watching more death and sadness spread;

它一次又一次地挥动魔棒
将病毒抛向不幸的灵魂，
看着更多的死亡和悲伤蔓延

As our story of woe was written,
We were the prey of this despair;

当我们的伤感故事
被记录下来的时候
我们是魔爪下绝望的牺牲品

We didn't flinch once in this mortal battle,
In this raging virus, we were fearless;
Our brave words did not falter or silence,
“There will be a peaceful day beyond this night;”

在这殊死的战斗中，我们没有退缩
在这肆虐的病毒里，我们无所畏惧
我们勇敢的话语，没有动摇也从未沉默
“今夜之后，会有一个平静的日子。”

And then he found,
That we had built a fortress with our souls;
That our unity lit a flame of peace,

于是它发现
我们用灵魂筑起一座堡垒
我们用团结燃起一道烈焰

And then he found;
He belittles the meaning of life,
Our perseverance is his greatest enemy

于是它发现
它浅薄了生命的意义
我们的毅力是它最大的天敌

在与冠状病毒抗争期间，即便我们身处世界不同地区，我仍然希望我们作为一个整体，能够点燃和平与希望之光。

我相信，心怀信念之光，我们才可以团结一致，因为这是战胜人类所有危险的关键。

During the Covid 19 pandemic we have been going through, I still hope that we together as one, can ignite a light of peace and of hope, and even though we are in different sections of the world. 

I think we can be united as one with this   light of faith, because that is the key to combating all dangers of mankind.
