| One of the most unforgettable lessons I ever learned was on the first day of my junior year in high school, 1983 --- Jim Owen's World History class. | Uma das lições mais inesquecíveis que aprendi foi no primeiro dia do meu primeiro ano no colégio, 1983 - aula de História Mundial de Jim Owen. |
| Class started the way most others do on the first day: The teacher introduced himself, explained what the class was about, told us how many tests there would be and how the grading would work, and so on. | A aula começou da mesma forma que a maioria das outras no primeiro dia: o professor se apresentou, explicou sobre o que era a aula, disse-nos quantos testes haveria e como funcionaria a avaliação, e assim por diante. |
| About 20 minutes into class, four boys burst into the room, all wearing ski masks and brandishing weapons. | Depois de cerca de 20 minutos de aula, quatro meninos irromperam na sala, todos usando máscaras de esqui e brandindo armas. |
| "Nobody move!" they shouted. | "Ninguém se move!" eles gritaram. |
| They went directly to the front where they knocked Mr. Owen to the ground, took his wallet, stole the grade book off his desk, and left as quickly as they came in. | Eles foram direto para a frente sala, jogaram o Sr. Owen no chão, pegaram sua carteira, roubaram o livro de notas de sua mesa e saíram tão rápido quanto entraram. |
| It was all over in less than 15 seconds, leaving the students paralyzed in shock. | Tudo acabou em menos de 15 segundos, deixando os alunos paralisados de choque. |
| When the dust settled, Mr. Owen rose to his feet. | Quando a poeira baixou, o Sr. Owen se levantou. |
| "I'm fine. Is everyone okay?" | "Estou bem. Estão todos bem?" |
| We assured him we were. | Garantimos a ele que estávamos. |
| Then he said: | Então ele disse: |
| "Relax. That was staged. Those were my students from last year. Your first assignment," he continued, "is to take out a sheet of paper and write down everything that just happened in as much detail as possible." | "Relaxem. Isso foi encenado. Aqueles eram meus alunos do ano passado. Sua primeira tarefa", ele continuou, "é pegar uma folha de papel e anotar tudo o que acabou de acontecer com o máximo de detalhes possível." |
| We were all still somewhat in shock, but of course we did what he asked. | Ainda estávamos todos um tanto em choque, mas é claro que fizemos o que ele pediu. |
| A few minutes later, he collected our papers. | Poucos minutos depois, ele recolheu nossos papéis. |
| He then stood at the front of the class and read each one aloud. | Ele então ficou na frente da classe e leu cada um em voz alta. |
| And that's when the biggest shock of that class hit us. | E foi aí que o maior choque dessa classe nos atingiu. |
| The stories were astonishing in their differences in the account of the facts. | As histórias eram surpreendentes em suas diferenças no relato dos fatos. |
| Most claimed there were four boys; some claimed there were three. | A maioria afirmou que eram quatro meninos; alguns alegaram que eram três. |
| Some said there were three boys and one girl. | Alguns disseram que eram três meninos e uma menina. |
| One said the weapons were all real guns; most said they looked like plastic water pistols painted black. | Um disse que as armas eram todas verdadeiras; a maioria disse que pareciam pistolas d'água de plástico pintadas de preto. |
| Some insisted Mr. Owen had been hit during the mugging. | Alguns insistiram que o Sr. Owen havia sido atingido durante o assalto. |
| Most said he wasn't touched at all. | A maioria disse que ele não foi tocado. |
| Mr. Owen continued to read while we sat and listened. | O Sr. Owen continuou a ler enquanto nos sentávamos e ouvíamos. |
| When he'd finished the last one, he put our papers down and said, "History will always be remembered from the perspective of the people who write it. As we've just seen, that can be very different, depending on the author. The victors in war will remember things differently from the vanquished. The groups in political power will surely see things differently from those not in power. Please keep that in mind as we begin our journey through world history. Now ... open your books, and turn to Chapter 1." | Quando ele terminou o último, largou nossos papéis e disse: "A história sempre será lembrada da perspectiva de quem a escreve. Como acabamos de ver, isso pode ser muito diferente, dependendo do autor . Os vencedores na guerra se lembrarão das coisas de forma diferente dos vencidos. Os grupos no poder político certamente verão as coisas de maneira diferente daqueles que não estão no poder. Por favor, tenham isso em mente ao iniciarmos nossa jornada pela história mundial. Agora ... abram seus livros e vão para o Capítulo 1." |
