在這些村莊里，郵件由babushka送來

The roads are long and often mountainous, but 83-year-old Ekaterina Dzalaeva-Otaraeva walks them several days a week. As the postwoman for the remote North Ossetian village of Tsey in Russia, she treks 25 to 30 miles round-trip on foot on her delivery route.

這條路很長，經(jīng)常是山，但是83歲的Ekaterina Dzalaeva-Otaraeva每周都要走好幾天。作為俄羅斯偏遠的北奧塞梯村Tsey的郵差，她要走25到30英里的送貨路線。

Dzalaeva-Otaraeva has been handing out mail for 50 years. She was inspired as a child by the local postman who brought news from the front during World War II, she tells Russian news outlet Ruptly. Dzalaeva-Otaraeva已經(jīng)分發(fā)郵件50年了。她對俄羅斯新聞媒體透露，她小時候曾受到當?shù)剜]遞員的啟發(fā)，他在二戰(zhàn)期間從前線帶來了新聞。

"When I was a little girl, one senior man worked as a postman. And all the people were waiting for him. It was during the war. And I was among those who ran towards him," she said.

當我還是個小女孩的時候，一個年長的男人當郵遞員。眾人都等候他。那是在戰(zhàn)爭期間。我是向他跑去的人之一。”她說。

She said she hoped to be able to bring letters home to her family from her brother because she knew that would make them happy.

她說，她希望能把哥哥寄來的信帶回家，因為她知道這會讓家人很高興。

Ruptly says Dzalaeva-Otaraeva quit school to cut hay because there was no one else who was able to do it.

魯伯特利說，德扎拉耶娃-小塔拉耶娃輟學去割干草，因為沒有其他人能做這件事。

"Then I noticed that there was no postman at the post office. I asked the manager to employ me. He asked me if I was able to work. And I said that I would try to," she said.

然后我注意到郵局沒有郵遞員。我要求經(jīng)理雇用我。他問我是否能工作。我說我會盡力的。”她說。

She is often greeted by hugs and enjoys talking with familiar friends she meets along her route.

她經(jīng)常被擁抱，喜歡和她沿途遇到的熟悉的朋友聊天。

"I find it easier when I chat to people," she says. "I've experienced a lot of sorrow, and I think about it when I'm doing nothing and it's difficult for me. But when I leave home, it's easier."

她說:“我發(fā)現(xiàn)和別人聊天更容易。”“我經(jīng)歷了很多悲傷，當我什么都不做，這對我來說很困難的時候，我就會想到它。但當我離開家的時候，就容易多了。”
