Horror: A person falls to their death after jumping from the north tower following the audacious terror strike which shocked the world a decade ago
恐惧：在十年前那场震惊世界的恐怖攻击之后，一个人从双子塔的北座跳下，正在落向死亡。

From the earliest days after the 9/11 attacks, the American establishment and the media showed an overwhelming reluctance to dwell on those who jumped or fell from the Twin Towers.
从9月11号攻击之后起，最早的日子里，美国政府和媒体，就非常的不情愿涉及太深哪些从双子塔上面跳下来，或者摔下来的人。

If this was simply down to qualms at being considered intrusive or voyeuristic when individuals in the most appalling circumstances chose in desperation to die very publicly, it would be understandable.
如果说，这一切是因为，人们在最可怕的情况下，绝望的选择如此公开的死于别人的眼前，使得报道和关注他们的人觉得很不舒服，觉得这种行为会非常的不受人欢迎，而且会被看作是类似于有偷窥癖的人，这反倒可以理解了。

But there are other, more complicated, reasons. In the aftermath of this attack on America’s sovereign territory — a period of intense patriotism — some considered that to choose to die rather than be killed showed a lack of courage.
但是，这里有另外一些更加复杂的原因在其后。在美国领土遭到袭击之后，美国经历了一个爱国主义大行其道的时期，在这个时期，有些人觉得自己选择去死，而不是被敌人杀死，看起来很没种。

And in this country of intense religious fervour, many believe that to be a ‘jumper’ was to choose suicide rather than accept the fate of God — and suicide in whatever circumstances is considered shameful or, indeed, a sin that will send you to Hell.
同时，在这个有着强烈宗教倾向的国家，许多人认为从双子塔上面跳下来，就是选择自杀，这意味着他们没有接受上帝给他们安排的命运。与此同时，无论在什么样的情况下，选择自杀都被认为是可耻的，而且是一种会导致行为人被送往地狱的罪。

At the office of the New York chief medical examiner, a spokesman said this week that they did not consider these people ‘jumpers’. She insisted they fell from the 1,350ft tall, 110-floor skyscrapers, for jumping would imply suicide.
本周在纽约市首席法医的办公室，一名发言人说他们没有（把那些从塔上跳下来的人）看做“跳楼者”。她坚持宣称这些人是从这座1350英尺高，有110层的摩天大楼上摔下来的。因为跳楼意味着自杀。

‘Jumping indicates a choice, and these people did not have that choice,’ she said. ‘That is why the deaths were ruled homicide, because the actions of other people caused them to die. The force of explosion and the fire behind them forced them out of the windows.’
“跳楼意味着人们有选择，而这些人并没有那个选择，”她说。“这就是为什么我们把他们的死亡类型定为被谋杀，因为是其他人的行为导致了他们的死亡的。爆炸的威力和大火，一起在他们身后起作用，把他们逼出了窗户。”
