Look closely at the women here, carrying machine guns.
Walking the streets of Israel,
还是休闲打扮的路人，很多人腰间或背后都别着一把步枪，

nor are they imitation toys, but the real daily life of Israelis.
nor are they imitation toys, but the real daily life of Israelis.
In Israel, regardless of gender or age,
carrying a gun when going out is the most common thing.
Behind this is actually Israel's law of survival.
The situation around Israel is complex.
As a small country, it is surrounded by many powerful nations.
To cope with potential threats,
Israeli law stipulates that citizens must perform military service upon turning 18,
and they do not need to hand in their weapons after discharge.
This state of a nation in arms keeps Israelis vigilant at all times.

注意看这里的女人，随身携带著机关枪。 走在以色列的街头，你会发现，不管是穿着时尚的女孩， 还是休闲打扮的路人，很多人腰间或背后都别着一把步枪， 就这么大大方方的带着， 跟我们日常带手机一样自然。
这可不是电影道具，也不是仿真玩具， 而是以色列人真实的生活日常。 在以色列，不分男女老少， 带枪出门是再平常不过的事。 这背后其实是以色列的生存法则。
以色列周边局势复杂，作为一个小国， 被诸多强国环绕。 为了应对潜在的威胁，以色列法律规定， 公民年满18岁必须服兵役， 而且退役后枪支不用上交。
这种全民皆兵的状态， 让以色列人时刻保持着警惕。 一旦遇到突发状况， 他们可以随时进入战斗状态，共同抵御外来威胁。 对他们来说，枪不是暴力的象征，
而是守护自己和国家的工具， 是融入日常生活的一种生存保障。
