14.After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program,her mother recalled,Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices."Everyone else was already admitted to college,"her mother,Rosemarie Colvin,said from the family home."So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said,‘You have to let me in.'""Impressed--she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil--Yale did,admitting her to the class of 1978,where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist,"her mother said.
On Wednesday,Marie Colvin,56,an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London,was killed as Syrian forces shelled(炮击) the city of Homs.She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.
"She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday",Mrs.Colvin said."Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out.She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it."
Mrs.Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones."If you knew my daughter,"she said,"it would have been such a waste of words.She was determined,she was enthusiastic about what she did,it was her life.There was no saying‘Don't do this.'This is who she was,absolutely who she was and what she believed in:cover the story,not just have pictures of it,but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.""So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism,"her mother said.
