特拉维夫，10月5日电——有的带着孩子，有的独自一人。被囚禁数周、数月甚至数年。关押在绑架者家中或哈马斯隧道内，战火在他们头顶肆虐。10月7日被劫持的以色列前人质表示，如今他们珍视自由中的每一个微小瞬间。
TEL AVIV, Oct 5 - Taken with their children or alone. Held for weeks, months or years. Confined in captors' homes or Hamas tunnels as war raged above them. Israeli former hostages seized on October 7 say they now cherish even the smallest moments of freedom.
哈马斯2023年10月7日的袭击是以色列单日伤亡最惨重的一天。武装分子横扫村庄、音乐节和军事基地，杀害1200人，并将251名人质拖回加沙地带。
Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack was Israel's single deadliest day. The militants rampaged through villages, a music festival and army bases, killing 1,200 people and dragging 251 hostages back to Gaza.
人质包括平民、士兵、男性、女性、儿童和老人，有以色列人也有外国人。大多数人在以色列与哈马斯的停火期间，以交换巴勒斯坦囚犯的方式获释，但数十人未能生还。
They included civilians, soldiers, men, women, children and elderly people, Israelis and foreign nationals. Most were freed in return for Palestinian prisoners during ceasefires between Israel and Hamas, but dozens did not survive.
“自由彻底改变了我看待生活的方式，”30岁的艾米莉·达马里说。她从基布兹克法尔阿扎的家中被劫持时受了伤，于2025年1月获释。
"Freedom has completely changed the way I see life," said Emily Damari, 30, who was abducted wounded from her home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza and released in January 2025.
她说，这段磨难教会她不再把任何事情视为理所当然。“在囚禁中，一天仿佛过了一周。你每时每刻都想放弃，但我没有，”达马里说。她最近结了婚，并在以色列推出了自己的服装品牌。
Her ordeal taught her not to take anything for granted, she said. "One day in captivity feels like one week. You want to give up at every moment, but I did not," said Damari, who has recently married and launched a clothing line in Israel. "Today, I open the fridge and I say thank you. I drink cold water and I say thank you.
“今天，我打开冰箱会说声谢谢。喝口凉水也会说声谢谢。我为一切心存感激，无论大事小事。感恩已成为我身份的核心，”达马里说。“自由、在家中、被家人和同胞包围，这是我永远不会再视为理所当然的事情。”“我选择生活”54岁的埃利·沙拉比从附近的基布兹贝埃里被劫持。他出生于英国的妻子莉安妮和两个女儿诺亚（16岁）和亚埃尔（13岁）被袭击者杀害。他的哥哥约西也被劫持，并在加沙遇害。
I am thankful for everything, big things and little things. Gratitude has become central to who I am," said Damari. "Being free, at home, surrounded by my family and my people is something I will never take for granted again." "I CHOOSE LIFE" Eli Sharabi, 54, was seized from nearby Kibbutz Be'eri. His British-born wife Lianne and their two daughters Noiya, 16, and Yahel, 13, were slain by the attackers. His brother Yossi was taken hostage and killed in Gaza.
2025年2月，沙拉比在被囚禁491天后获释，当时他显得极度消瘦、皮包骨头。他表示，囚禁期间曾被关在隧道里，挨饿、戴镣铐、遭殴打。"在被囚禁的日子里，我懂得了每一个瞬间、每一次选择都何其珍贵，这种领悟至今伴随我。我选择向前看，选择继续走下去，以有意义的方式度过余生。" 沙拉比说。
In February 2025, Sharabi was released, appearing emaciated and skeletally thin, from 491 days of captivity which he says included being held in a tunnel, hungry, shackled and beaten. "I learned in captivity how precious every moment and every choice can be, and I carry that understanding with me now. I choose to look ahead, to keep going and to use the life I have in a meaningful way," said Sharabi.
获释后，他与残疾人慈善机构 "Shalva" 合作，在南部城市阿什凯隆创立了 "Shalva 沙拉比家庭中心"，为应对创伤和残疾的家庭提供治疗，以此纪念他失去的家人。"我选择生命。我选择在带着莉安、诺亚、亚埃尔和约西记忆的前提下，完整地活下去。" 他说，妻子和女儿们深信关爱他人。"她们的善良与关怀将延续。家庭们将走进这扇大门，在一个承载着她们名字的地方获得帮助、关怀与希望。这给了我力量，让我深感自豪。" 沙拉比说。
Since his release he has helped establish the Shalva Sharabi Family Centre in the southern city of Ashkelon with the disability charity Shalva, to treat families coping with trauma and disabilities, in commemoration of his own family lost. "I choose life. I choose to keep living fully, while carrying Lianne, Noiya, Yahel and Yossi with me in everything I do." His wife and daughters believed deeply in caring for others, he said. "Their kindness and care for others will continue. Families will walk through these doors and receive help, care and hope in a place that carries their name. That gives me strength and makes me very proud," said Sharabi.
缓慢构建未来 哈加尔·布罗杜奇与三个孩子、以及父母被杀后逃到他们家的邻居女儿一起，从基法尔阿扎被劫持。她们在 2023 年 11 月的短暂停火中获释。
SLOWLY BUILDING A FUTURE Hagar Brodutch was seized from Kfar Aza with her three children and her neighbours' daughter who fled to their house after her parents were killed. They were freed in a brief truce in November 2023.
她说，囚禁后的生活远比外界有时描绘的要复杂得多。"日常的挣扎极其巨大，尤其是对孩子们而言。我认为还需要很多年，被囚禁的经历才会变成只是与我们并行的影子，而非定义我们是谁的标签。" 布罗杜奇说。
Life after captivity, she said, can be far more complicated than sometimes portrayed. "The daily struggle is immense, especially for children. I believe it will take many more years before captivity becomes just a shadow that walks alongside us, rather than something that defines who we are," said Brodutch.
最近，43 岁的布罗杜奇开始上烘焙甜点课，这是她长久以来的热爱。"这远不止是学习如何烘焙。这是在寻找一条新路，用双手创造一些东西，并缓慢地构建未来。" 她说。"在哈马斯囚禁期间，我开始意识到，如果我获释，回到过去的生活、从事管理工作可能不再可能。" 布罗杜奇说。
Recently, Brodutch, 43, has begun taking classes in pastry baking, for which she has long had a passion. "This is about much more than learning how to bake. It is about finding a new path, creating something with my own hands, and slowly building a future," she said. "During my time in Hamas captivity, I began to understand that if I were released, returning to my previous life and working in management might no longer be possible," said Brodutch.
“我选择烘焙作为一种疗愈方式，同时也是为自己创造新事物的途径，希望有一天它能成为我的职业，”她说。
"I chose pastry as a form of therapy, but also as a way to create something new for myself, with the hope that one day it could become my profession," she said.
克法阿扎是哈马斯袭击中受创最重的社区之一。65岁的阿维瓦·西格尔与丈夫基思一同被绑架。她于2023年11月获释，但基思一直被扣押至2025年2月。
Kfar Aza was one of the hardest-hit communities in Hamas' attack. Aviva Siegel, 65, was kidnapped with her husband Keith. She was released in November 2023, but Keith was held until February 2025.
在丈夫仍被扣押期间，阿维瓦加入了以色列的争取释放人质运动。她说，与丈夫团聚、子孙后代，甚至遇到的陌生人，都让她每天都获得力量。
Aviva joined the hostage release campaign movement in Israel while her husband was still being held. Their reunion and her children and grandchildren, and even strangers she meets, give her strength every day, she says.
“我感到自己并不孤单，这个世界上有那么多爱，我们需要用双手紧紧抓住它，”她说。“我感到非常、非常幸运能活下来。” 路透社
