TWO CHINESE students shot to death at a karaoke bar Tuesday had no relatives in Ottawa, but news of their deaths came as a shock to one Nepean couple who was like family to one of the young men for a short time last year.
周二晚两名在卡拉OK被枪杀的中国学生在渥太华并无亲人,但他们的死讯却震惊了Nepean的一对夫妇,因为他们去年曾和其中一名被害年青人象一家人那样短暂共住。
Jonathan Willis and his wife Suzanne Saumur said Linhai Tian, 20, lived with them and their two kids for about two months in October and November of last year, and even celebrated his first Thanksgiving with them before he decided to move in with three friends in the Meadowlands Dr. area.
Jonathan Willis和妻子Suzanne Saumur回忆说:20岁的田林海曾在去年十、十一两月和他们及他们的两个孩子一同居住,甚至还和他们共同庆贺过他在这里的第一个感恩节,后来他才决定和其他三位朋友一同搬去Meadowlands Dr一带。
Described as a gifted photographer, Tian hoped to study engineering at Carleton University after mastering English-as-a-second language, which he was taking at Algonquin College.
据他们说田是一个有天赋的摄影爱好者,田曾希望自己在Algonquin学好英语之后,能上卡尔顿大学继续学习工程专业。
The couple said they did not know 20-year-old Tailang Liu, the second man shot during the wee hours Tuesday at the Fullhouse Karaoke Tea Cafe on Somerset St. W.
这对夫妇说他们并不认识周二在位于Somerset St.W. 之Fullhouse卡拉OK酒吧
一同被枪杀的20岁的刘太郎。
HI-TECH GADGETRY
高科技玩意儿
"What makes me sad is he (Tian) was very good academically and he had lots of dreams about becoming successful," Saumur said.
“最让我难过的是他(田)的学习成绩很不错,而且他还有很多自己能够将来成功的梦想”, Saumur这样说
Willis said Tian had a sister and seemed to come from a wealthy family, noting his father worked for China Oil.
Willis则说田有一个姐妹,而且看上去好像来自一个富裕的家庭,据说他的父亲为中国石油工作
While he was driving a 1980s model Toyota Camry at the time, he said Tian seemed to have all the latest in hi-tech gadgetry, including a fancy laptop computer, cellphone and camera equipment.
Willis说,当他还在驾驶一辆80年代款丰田佳美的时候,田似乎拥有各种最新的高科技玩意儿,包括一台很时髦漂亮的手提电脑,以及手机和照相设备。
Towards the end of his stay, Willis said Tian would often come in late after drinking with friends and disappointed the couple when he gave a mere one day's notice that he was moving out. Willis said Tian would sometimes have friends over and that he had a girlfriend with whom he had come to Canada.
在离开他们家前的最后阶段,Willis说田经常和朋友喝过酒很晚才回来,而且在搬出去的时候,只提前一天给他们夫妇打了招呼,多少让他们有些失望。Willis还说田有时候也带朋友来,而且他还有一个和他一起来加拿大的女朋友
As a token of appreciation for their hospitality, Willis said he and his wife were given two traditional Chinese wall hangings.
作为对房东殷勤招待的感谢,Willis说田还送给了他们夫妇两个中国传统的壁挂装饰品。
While many Somerset St. residents and restaurant patrons continued to speculate yesterday that the shooting was gang related, Willis couldn't fathom it.
当很多Somerset St.的居民和餐馆老板们仍在那里猜测昨天的枪杀案会不会和黑帮有关的时候,Willis却怎么也想不明白这事怎么居然会发生。
