「敌国侨民」
film director henry koster, who was born in berlin in 1905, became the subject of anti-semitism as germany fell to nazism. in 1933, he was insulted in a bank during lunch hour by a nazi ss, who said some nasty things about his family and heritage. koster lost his temper and knocked the officer out.
the manager of the bank, a friend of koster's, promptly shoved some money into his pocket and told him to go directly to the train station and leave germany. koster took the advice, and made his way first to france and then to america.
ironically, during the war, koster, as a german citizen, was considered an enemy alien and was kept under partial house arrest. he had to stay in his house in the evening.

电影导演亨利．科斯特一九○五年生于柏林。德国落入纳粹党手上之后，他成为反犹太运动的目标。一九三三年，科斯特一天午饭时间在银行里被一名纳粹党 卫军官出言侮辱，辱及他家族以及文化传统。科斯特按捺不住，把那军人打昏了。
银行经理和科斯特有交情。他马上把些钱塞进科斯特的口袋里，着他马上去火车站，乘车离开德国。科斯特听了他的意见，先到法国，然后去美国。
令人啼笑皆非的是，第二次世界大战期间，科斯特由于是德国公民，被视为敌国侨民，遭有限度软禁，晚上得留在家中。
【附注】 enemy alien的 enemy是形容词。两字调换作 alien enemy也可以。
