俄罗斯与乌克兰的战争在北奥塞梯以多种方式呈现，这是一个偏远的山区，几个世纪以来一直为莫斯科的战事提供士兵。
Russia’s war with Ukraine shows itself in many ways in North Ossetia, a remote mountainous region with a centuries-long history of furnishing soldiers for Moscow’s battles.
这体现在学校里传唱的军歌中，体现在由退伍军人组成的政府里，体现在人们习惯于在公开场合发表爱国言论、私下里却低声诉说真实感受的习惯中，体现在男性的匮乏中，也体现在损失的规模上。
It can be seen in the martial songs now sung in schools. In a government stocked with veterans. In a habit of making patriotic comments for public consumption and then whispering true feelings. In the scarcity of men. And in the scale of the loss.
从乌克兰运回的阵亡士兵遗体数量之多，以至于他们现在被安葬在地区首府弗拉季高加索的一块专用墓地里。新的墓碑上装饰着阵亡者的彩色照片，这些照片经过修饰，然后在华氏1800度的高温炉中烧制而成。
So many soldiers have returned from Ukraine in body bags that they are now being buried in a dedicated plot in Vladikavkaz, the regional capital. The new tombstones are ornamented with color photographs of the fallen, retouched and then baked in a furnace at 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit.
在这片不断扩大的墓地里，安葬着47岁的奥克萨娜·阿巴耶娃的儿子，她创办了一个为在战争中失去亲人的女性服务的组织。她反映了一个在为祖国而战的深切自豪感与对年轻男性消逝的痛苦哀悼之间挣扎的地区。
In the growing graveyard lies the son of Oksana Abaeva, 47, who founded an organization for women who have lost loved ones in the war. She reflects a region pulled between a deep pride in fighting for the motherland and an aching lament for the erasure of its young men.
