NBC晚间新闻 九旬老太自制口罩做奉献（在线收听）

At 17 years old May Cryer helped build warplanes to save American lives. Today at 94, her hands still work at factory speed for the very same reason. How did you get the idea to do this? Oh well, you know, it was funny i gave up my rivet gun for the sewing machine. She's making masks for the masses for about eight hours each day. The red polka dot pattern woven deep in Cryer's fabric, once herself a Rosie the Riveter. It's very rewarding that little piece of red and white polka dot stands for something.

It's a symbol for what the American women did. Cryer made a few at first for family and friends, now a thousand pending orders. Strangers across the country saluting women's service while fighting America's new war against a virus. Cryer even finds time to still mow her own grass while pushing congress to give all rosies one medal of honor for their work. I'm hoping my little mask will save one life, at least more than that hopefully. Inspired once to serve her country and now to protect it.

在17岁的时候，梅·克莱尔帮助建造战机来拯救美国人的生命。如今她已经94岁了，但她的双手仍在以工厂的速度工作，原因完全相同。你是怎么想到做这个的？你知道，我为了缝纫机放弃了我的铆钉枪，这很有趣。她每天要花8个小时为人们制作口罩。克莱尔在布料中编织了红色的圆点花纹，她自己曾经是铆工露斯。那一小块有着红白相间的圆点的口罩代表着什么东西，这是很值得的。这是美国妇女所做的事情的象征。克莱尔一开始给家人和朋友做了一些，现在已经有上千个订单了。在美国抗击病毒的新战争中，来自全国各地的陌生人向服务的女性致敬。克莱尔甚至还抽空自己修剪草坪，同时敦促国会给所有的铆工露斯颁发一枚荣誉勋章，以表彰他们的工作。我希望我的小口罩能救一条命，但愿能救更多。她曾被激励为国效力，现在则是保卫国家。
