An American Mormon missionary was injured in the Brussels airport terrorist attack after having previously survived the Boston bombing and the Paris attacks.
日前比利时布鲁塞尔机场发生恐怖袭击事件。一个美国摩门教传教士在袭击中幸免于难，只是受了些伤。此前，这位传教士曾亲身经历过波士顿爆炸事件和巴黎恐怖袭击，但都逃过一劫。

Mason Wells, 19, suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, injuries from shrapnel and second- and third-degree burns on his face and hands after the bombing.
遭遇爆炸袭击的梅森·威尔斯今年19岁，他的跟腱断裂，脸上和手上也有多处弹片伤及二至三度的烧伤。

Two missionaries who were with Mason also suffered injuries, but survived.
与梅森同行的两个传教士也受了伤，但是保住了性命。

'This is his third terrorist attack,' Chad Wells, Mason's father, told ABC News.
梅森的父亲查德·威尔斯对ABC新闻说道：“这是梅森经历的第三次恐怖袭击。”

'We live in a dangerous world and not everyone is kind and loving.'
“我们生活的世界并不安全，并非人人怀揣善意和爱心。”

Chad said he and Mason were a block away from the finish line of the Boston Marathon, where the bombing took place, waiting for Mason's mother, Kymberly Wells, who was a runner.
查德说，波士顿马拉松赛那天，梅森的母亲金柏莉·威尔斯参加了比赛。他和儿子当时正在距离终点线一个街区外的地方等待金柏莉。这时候终点线那里发生了爆炸。

'It had shaken their bodies and he had taken Mason to our hotel and said to stay there. 'Mason was very calm and composed,' Kymberly told ABC News.
金柏莉告诉ABC新闻说：“他们的身体感到了爆炸的震动，当时查德将梅森带到我们住的旅馆中，让他待在那里别动。梅森当时非常沉着冷静。”

Mason is currently in a Belgian hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, he told his parents. He was at 'ground zero' of the blast zone when the bombs went off.
梅森告诉父母，他目前在比利时一家医院进行康复治疗。爆炸发生时，他恰恰就在原爆点。

Chad said a Mormon official relayed to the Wells family that Mason, 'despite being on the ground and bleeding actually had a sense of humor and remained calm through the situation'.
查德说，另一位摩门教长老转告他们，“那天尽管梅森躺在地上流血，但他还是极其冷静，笑对苦难”。

'Mason has always assured us that he is safe and careful.
“梅森总是安慰我们说他很安全、会小心处事。”

'I told him first and foremost always be aware of your surroundings, please be very careful when you're traveling be very observant to people around you,' Kymberly said.
金柏莉说：“我之前告诫过他，不论何时，首先要当心周围的环境。旅行时务必谨慎小心，注意观察周围的人。”

The teen was also in Paris last year during the attacks.
去年巴黎遭袭时，这个小伙子也在现场。

'He shared with us that he was extremely close to the blast where he was burned by it,' Chad said.
查德说：“他告诉我们，当时他离爆炸点特别近，所以被大火烧伤了。”

'It's a blessing from God he's alive.'
“上帝保佑，他还活着。”
