诺亚·阿尔加马尼表示，在被哈马斯扣为人质期间，她从未怀疑过自己能活着回家。她周四在《商业内幕》“The Long Play”活动中与主编杰米·海勒对话时说，这种乐观始终坚定不移，即使两名朋友在囚禁中去世，她也经常听到火箭弹和炸弹爆炸的声音。“我独自待在一个狭小的房间里，”阿尔加马尼说。
Noa Argamani said she never doubted that she would return home alive when she was held hostage by Hamas. That optimism was unwavering, she said in a conversation with editor in chief Jamie Heller at Business Insider's "The Long Play" event on Thursday, even as two friends died in captivity and she regularly heard rockets and bombs exploding. "I was by myself in a tiny room," Argamani said.
她说，她学会为哪怕最微小的舒适心存感激，比如半升水、一只袜子或一条毯子。“我为当时拥有的一切表示感谢，”阿尔加马尼说。她是在2023年10月7日袭击以色列事件中被绑架、遭囚禁246天后获救的。她说，乐观已成为她面对世界的一个决定性特质。每天早晨，她说，“我看看手里拿到的牌，然后尽全力打好这局。”
She said she found something to be grateful for in the smallest of comforts, like half a liter of water, a sock, or a blanket. "I said thank you for everything that I have at that moment," said Argamani, who was rescued after 246 days in captivity after being kidnapped in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. She said optimism has become a defining part of how she moves through the world. Each morning, she said, "I see the cards that I have in my hand, and I play in the best way that I can."
阿尔加马尼说，她反思过自己的特长和资源，以及它们如何与目标相契合。过去几年里，她说，她提高了英语水平，磨练了公开演讲技巧，登上国际舞台，为其他以色列人质的获释发声，并分享自己的经历。被劫持为人质时，阿尔加马尼正在大学三年级学习人工智能，打算成为一名软件工程师，或许最终能成为创业者。
Argamani said she has reflected on her special skills and resources and how they align with her goals. In the past several years, she said, she has improved her English and sharpened her public speaking skills, taking to the global stage to advocate for the release of the other Israeli hostages and share her experience. At the time she was taken hostage, Argamani was studying AI in her third year of college, with the idea of becoming a software engineer or, eventually, maybe a founder.
在囚禁期间，她告诉自己热爱正在经历的生活，回家后会完成学业。但她说，此后一切都变了。今年实习后，她加入风投公司Vine Ventures，担任平台负责人。该公司投资早期初创企业，专注于人工智能、网络安全和国防科技。她现在与以色列创始人和公司合作，旨在帮助他们拓展全球市场，并通过经济成功增强以色列的安全。阿尔加马尼说，她在风投领域仍有很多要学。
While in captivity, Argamani told herself she loved the life she was living and would finish her degree when she returned home. But after that, so much changed, she said. Following an internship this year, she joined venture capital firm Vine Ventures as head of platform. The company backs early-stage startups, with a focus on AI, cybersecurity, and defense tech. She's now working with Israeli founders and companies with the goal of helping them expand globally and strengthening Israel's security through economic success. Argamani said she still has much to learn about VC.
她之所以加入 Vine，部分原因是她与该公司创始人兼管理合伙人 Eric Reiner 建立了关系，后者帮助她为剩余人质的获释发声。她说，目前她把这个角色视为建设事业、帮助国家的机会。“现在我有机会站在这个舞台上，讲述我经历的一切，以及我如何想要构建未来，”Argamani 说。
She joined Vine in part because of the relationship she developed with its founder and managing partner, Eric Reiner, who helped her advocate for the release of the remaining hostages. For now, she said, she sees the role as her opportunity to build her career and help her country. "Now I have the opportunity to be on this stage and talk about all of the things that I've been through, and also how I want to build the future," Argamani said.
