(3/4)“我们已经等了两年了，经历过所有的面试。上周寄来了这封信，说我们被‘延期'了。我甚至都不确定这到底是什么意思，我们对一切都很坦诚，在叙利亚什么东西都没留下。到了美国我想继续做医生，在这里我束手无策，难民不被允许工作。我没有相关文件，没办法和任何人交流。我这辈子都在努力做一个医生，整整学习了六年，其他什么事也没做，甚至连个兴趣爱好都没有。现在我什么也干不了，正在失去希望。我已经在想如果当初我们非法偷渡过海，生活会不会比现在好得多。”

“We've been waiting for two years now. We've been through all our interviews.Last week this letter came and said that we've been ‘deferred.’.I'm not even sure what that means. We were very truthful about everything. We have nothing left in Syria.I want to continue working as a doctor in America. Here my hands aretied.Refugees are not allowed to work. I don't have papers.I can't communicate with anyone.I worked my entire life to become a doctor. I did nothingbut study for six years. I didn't even have a hobby. Now I'm doing nothing.I'm losing hope.I've started to wonder if it would have been better for us to go the illegal way across the sea.”
