当有人用枪来得到他们想要的东西的时候，你该如何阻止他们呢?如果他们要什么，你就给什么，他们定会心花怒放——而且，更会得寸进尺，变本加厉。如果你不交出他们想要的东西，那么，就可能会惹恼他们——他们可能会杀了你。很难说到底该怎么办才好。
When people use guns to take what they want, how do you stop them? If you give them what they want, they will be happy—and they will use their guns again, and again. If you don't give them what they want, then they will be angry—and they will kill. It is not easy to decide what to do.
在这个故事中，面对这个两难境地的是首相，一位政府首脑。但首相也是和我们一样的普通人——有家庭，有孩子。
In this story, the person who has to decide is the Prime Minister, the head of the government. But the Prime Minister is also an ordinary person, just like the rest of us—a person with a family and children.
如果有人拿枪对着你的家人，你怎样才能让头脑保持清醒呢?你该怎么做呢?你采纳别人的建议，跟劫机者展开对话，搞清楚他们到底想要什么，你尽力让大家保持冷静，你慢慢地采取行动。但是，恐怖分子可不愿意等你，迟早你得决定到底该怎么办……
How can you think clearly, if someone is pointing a gun at your family? What do you do? You take advice, you talk to the hijackers, you find out what they want, you keep everybody calm, you try to move slowly. But terrorists don't like waiting, and sooner or later, you have to decide what to do...

“瞧，你在这儿呢，”他说。他手指着一张照片。站在照片中间的那位就是卡尔——一个身材瘦小，头发花白，身穿西服的人。在他身后的左侧站着哈拉尔德——他是个又高又壮的年轻人，就像个运动员。两个人都笑了。“这是我们在大使馆门口照的，”卡尔说，“我们又成新闻对象了。你可以把这张照片给你的儿子看一看。你是名人了，哈拉尔德！”

Look. There you are,’ he said. He pointed to a picture. In the middle of the picture stood Carl himself—a short thin man with grey hair, wearing a suit. Behind him, on the left, was Harald—a tall, strong young man, like a sportsman. Both men were smiling. ’That’s you and me, outside the Embassy,’ said Carl. ’We’re in the news again. You can show it to your sons. You’re a famous man, Harald!’
