我看見年輕人失怙、無家可歸，
03:45
and they are supporting the family
as a 10-to-12-year old boy --

還只是個 10 到 12 歲的男孩，
03:50

03:56
So it was a very devastating situation.
68
224113
3039
所以那真的是非常慘的狀況。
03:59
My heart was beating for my people,
69
227176
2928
我的心為我的同胞鼓動不已，
04:02
and I didn't know what to do.
70
230128
1667
而我卻不知道該怎麼辦。
04:04
At that moment, we talk about momentum.
71
232533
2611
那個當下——
現在我們在這裡談動力——
現在我們在這裡談動力——
04:07
At that moment, I felt,
what can I do for these people?
what can I do for these people?
72
235636
3800
那個當下，我的感覺好像，
我該為這些人做什麼？
我該為這些人做什麼？
04:11
How could I help these people?
73
239801
1803
我要怎麼幫助這些人？
04:13
I am one individual.
What can I do for them?
What can I do for them?
74
241628
3038
我只是一芥小民。
我能為他們做些什麼？
我能為他們做些什麼？
04:17
But at that moment, I knew
75
245205
2643
但是那個當下，我知道
04:19
that education changed my life.
76
247872
2547
教育改變了我的一生。
04:22
It transformed me. It gave me status.
77
250745
3714
它改造了我。它給了我地位。
04:26
It gave me confidence.
It gave me a career.
It gave me a career.
78
254483
3631
它給了我信心。它給了我職業。
04:30
It helped me to support my family,
79
258138
2214
它幫助我養家，
04:32
to bring my family to another country,
80
260376
2455
把家人接到另一個國家，
04:34
to be safe.
81
262855
1164
讓他們安全無虞。
04:36
And I knew that at that moment
82
264853
2737
我知道在那個當下，
04:39
that what I should give to my people
is education and health,
is education and health,
83
267614
4008
我應該要給我的同胞的
是教育及健康，

04:43
and that's what I went after.
84
271932
1587
那就是我當時追求的。
04:45
But do you think it was easy?
85
273942
2341
但是你以為那很容易嗎？
04:48
No, because at that time, education
was banned for girls, completely.
was banned for girls, completely.
86
276695
6532
一點也不，因為那個時候，
女生完全不准受教育。
女生完全不准受教育。
04:56
And also, by Russia invading Afghanistan,
87
284346
3688
而且，因為俄國侵略阿富汗，
05:00
people were not trusting anyone.
88
288058
2183
大家誰也不信任誰。
05:03
It was very hard to come and say,
"I want to do this."
"I want to do this."
89
291058
3722
你很難突然出現然後說：
「我想做這個。」
「我想做這個。」
05:06
Who am I?
90
294804
1421
我是誰？
05:08
Somebody who comes from the United States.
91
296249
2126
某個從美國來的人。
05:10
Somebody who got educated here.
92
298399
1898
某個在這裡受教育的人。
05:12
Did they trust me? Of course not.
93
300321
2674
他們會信任我嗎？當然不。
05:15
So I really needed to build
the trust in this community.
the trust in this community.
94
303622
4314
所以我真的需要
在這個社區建立信任關係。
在這個社區建立信任關係。
05:19
How am I going to do that?
95
307960
1841
我要怎麼做呢？
05:22
I went and surveyed and looked and looked.
96
310372
2897
我就去難民營做調查，
這裡看看那裡看看。
這裡看看那裡看看。
05:25
I asked.
97
313626
1309
我到處問。
05:26
Finally, I found one man.
98
314959
2262
最後，我找到一個人。
05:29
He was 80 years old.
99
317674
1436
他八十歲了。
05:31
He was a mullah.
100
319412
1412
他是位穆拉（伊斯蘭教士）。
05:33
I went to his tent in the camp,
101
321435
2635
我去他的難民營帳篷拜訪他，
05:36
and I asked him,
102
324451
1595
然後我問他：
05:38
"I want to make you a teacher."
103
326070
2095
「我想讓你當老師。」
05:41
And he looked at me,
104
329117
1651
然後他看看我，
05:42
and he said, "Crazy woman,
105
330792
1373
他說：「瘋女人，
05:45
crazy woman, how do you think
I can be a teacher?"
I can be a teacher?"
106
333157
4008
瘋女人，你看我能當老師嗎？」
05:49
And I told him,
"I will make you a teacher."
"I will make you a teacher."
107
337911
2484
我告訴他：
「我會讓你當老師。」
「我會讓你當老師。」
05:52
Finally, he accepted my offer,
108
340705
2143
最後，他接受了這個職位，
05:55
and once I started a class
in his compound,

124

06:47
And you know, as a leader, what do you do?

They said no. They are not
going to drink tea.

07:32
And of course, with the tone
of voice they were using,
of voice they were using,
141
440934
3452
當然，他們說話的語氣
07:36
it was very scary,
142
444410
1396
會讓你嚇死，
07:37
but I was really shaking up.
143
445830
2587
但是我真的抖的要命，
07:40
But also I was strong, holding myself up.
144
448441

但是我也很堅強，強自鎮定。
07:44
And, of course, by that time,

你唯一能看見的東西
就是我的眼睛。

07:53
They asked me, "What are you doing?

他們問我：「妳在這裡搞什麼？
07:55
Don't you know that school

08:01
And you know, I just looked at them,

他們看著我的臉，說：
「妳在這裡教女學生。」
「妳在這裡教女學生。」
08:17
I said, "This is a house of somebody.
156
485237
2834
我說：「這是某人的房子。
08:20
We have some students coming,

我們有學生來這裡，
08:22
and they are all learning
Koran, Holy Book.
Koran, Holy Book.
158
490356
2952
他們都在學聖書《可蘭經》。
08:25
And you know, Koran says that
if you learn the Holy Book, the woman,

如果你學經上的話語，女人，

and they can obey their husband."
161
500363
2040
她們就會順服丈夫。」
08:34
(Laughter)
162
502768
4144
（笑聲）
08:38
And I tell you one thing:
163

（笑聲）
08:44
So by that time,

08:49
They talked to each other,
167

and they said, "Let's go,
leave her alone, she's OK."

到那個時後，
我的職員都衝進我的辦公室。

They were scared to death.
172
534292
2015
他們都嚇死了。
09:08
They didn't know why they didn't kill me.
173
536331
2071
他們不知道
為什麼這些人沒殺了我。

09:10
They didn't know why

Of course, I was happy to be alive.
178
548356

09:22
But also, as we continuously gave
training during the fall of the Taliban --

179
550394

但是，因為我們在塔利班
垮台期間不斷給予訓練——

09:28
of course during the Taliban
there is another story.

We had all kinds of training

09:55
I was very happy. I was delighted

10:00
And one day, with four trainers
and one bodyguard,

191
588155
3259
然後有一天，
我與四名訓練人員及一名保鏢
我與四名訓練人員及一名保鏢
10:03
I was going up north of Kabul,
192
591771
2436
進入阿富汗首都喀布爾北邊，
10:06
and all of a sudden, again,
193
594692
1920
突然間，又來了，
10:09
I was stopped in the middle of the road
194
597239
2278
我被 19 個年輕人
10:11
by 19 young men.
195
599541
1891
擋在路中間。
10:13
Rifles on their shoulders,
they blocked the road.
they blocked the road.
196
601836
2643
他們肩上荷著來福槍，
把路擋著。
把路擋著。
10:17
And I told my driver, "What's going on?"
197
605646
2905
我問我的司機：「怎麼了？」
10:20
And the driver said, "I don't know."
198
608575
1723
司機回說：「我不知道。」
10:22
He asked them. They said,
"We have nothing to do with you."
"We have nothing to do with you."
199
610322
2769
他問這些人。他們說：
「這裡沒你的事。」
「這裡沒你的事。」
10:25
They called my name.
They said, "We want her."
They said, "We want her."
200
613115
3007
他們叫我的名字，
他們說：「我們要找她。」
他們說：「我們要找她。」
10:28
My bodyguard got out, said,
"I can answer you.
"I can answer you.
201
616828
2903
我的保鏢下車說：
「我可以回答你們的問題。
「我可以回答你們的問題。
10:31
What do you want?"
202
619755
1294
你們要什麼？」
10:33
They said, "Nothing." They called my name.
203
621073
2007
他們說：「沒什麼。」
然後他們叫我的名字。
然後他們叫我的名字。
10:35
And by that time, the women
are yelling and screaming inside the car.

204
623104
4871
那個時候，
車上的婦女都開始大喊尖叫，
車上的婦女都開始大喊尖叫，
10:39
I am very shaken up,
and I told myself, this is it.
and I told myself, this is it.
205
627999
2555
我又抖的要命，
我對自己說，這次真的完了。
我對自己說，這次真的完了。
10:42
This time, we all are going to be killed.
206
630578
2517
這次，我們都要殺頭了。
10:45
There is no doubt in my mind.
207
633119
2300
我的心裡一點都不懷疑。
10:47
But still, the moment comes,
and you take strength
and you take strength
208
635721
4912
儘管如此，在那一刻到來的時候，
10:52
from whatever you believe
and whatever you do.
and whatever you do.
209
640657
2874
你要向你所相信的、
你所做的一切支取力量。
你所做的一切支取力量。
10:55
It's in your heart.
210
643555
1365
那是你心所愛。
10:56
You believe in your worth,
and you can walk on it.
and you can walk on it.
211
644944
2875
你相信你的價值，
你能為之作見證。
你能為之作見證。
10:59
So I just hold myself
on the side of the car.
on the side of the car.
212
647843
3539
所以我就在扶著車邊，
試著鎮定自己。
試著鎮定自己。
11:03
My leg was shaking, and I got outside.
213
651406
3555
我的腿抖動著，走到車外。
11:06
And I asked them, "What can I do for you?"
214
654985
2500
我問他們：「有什麼事嗎？」
11:09
You know what they said to me?
215
657509
1587
你知道他們對我說什麼嗎？
11:11
They said, "We know who you are.
216
659120
3142
他們說：「我們知道妳是誰。
11:14
We know where you are going.
217
662286
1922
我們知道妳在搞什麼。
11:16
Every day you go up north here and there.
218
664232
2681
每天妳都到北邊這裡和那裡。
11:18
You train women, you teach them
219
666937
3048
妳訓練女人，妳教她們，
11:22
and also you give them an
opportunity to have a job.
opportunity to have a job.
220
670009
3047
而且妳還給她們機會找工作。
11:25
You build their skills. How about us?"
221
673080
2800
妳讓她們培養專長。那我們呢？」
11:27
(Laughter)
222
675904
2851
（笑聲）
11:30
(Applause)
223
678779
2968
（掌聲）
11:33
"And you know, how about us?
224
681771
4364
「妳知道的啊？那我們呢？
11:38
What are we going to do?"
225
686159
1586
我們怎麼辦？」
11:39
I looked at them, and I said,
"I don't know."
"I don't know."
226
687769
2372
我看著他們，
我說：「我不知道。」
我說：「我不知道。」
11:42
(Laughter)
227
690165
2818
（笑聲）
11:45
They said, "It's OK.
228
693007
1571
他們說：「沒關係。
11:46
The only thing we can do, what we know,
229
694602
2160
我們唯一會做的，我們知道的，
11:48
from the time we're born,
we just hold the gun and kill.
we just hold the gun and kill.
230
696786
3079
我們從出生起，就是拿槍殺人。
11:51
That's all we know."
231
699889
1276
我們只知道這些。」
11:53
And you know what that means.
232
701713
1469
你們都知道這是什麼意思。
11:55
It's a trap to me, of course.
233
703206
1887
那當然是挖陷阱給我跳。
11:57
So I walk out of there.
They said, "We'll let you go, go."
They said, "We'll let you go, go."
234
705522
3453
所以我就走開。他們說：
「我們會放妳走。走吧！」
「我們會放妳走。走吧！」
12:01
And so I walked into the car,
I sit in the car,
I sit in the car,
235
709435
2904
所以我走進車裡，坐在裡面，
12:04
and I told the driver,
"Turn around and go back to the office."
"Turn around and go back to the office."
236
712363
3270
然後我告訴司機：
「掉頭回辦公室。」
「掉頭回辦公室。」
12:07
At that time, we only
were supporting girls.
were supporting girls.
237
715999
3413
那時，我們只援助女生。
12:11
We only had money for women to train them,
238
719436
3461
我們的錢只能訓練婦女，
12:14
to send them to school, and nothing else.
239
722921
2618
送她們去學校，沒別的了。
12:17
By the time I came to the office,
240
725881
2531
但是我回到辦公室時，
12:20
of course my trainers were gone.
241
728722
2253
當然我的訓練人員都走了。
12:22
They ran away home. Nobody stayed there.
242
730999
2970
他們都逃回家。
沒有人待在那裡。
沒有人待在那裡。
12:26
My bodyguard was the only one there,
243
734414
2500
我的保鏢是唯一還待著的人，
12:29
and my voice was completely gone.
244
737390
2706
我完全發不出聲音。
12:32
I was shaken up, and I sat on my table,
245
740120
3135
我嚇壞了，我坐在桌上，
12:35
and I said, "What am I going to do?"
246
743279
2008
然後我說：「我要怎麼辦？」
12:37
How am I going to solve this problem?
247
745827
2476
我要怎麼解決這個問題？
12:40
Because we had training
going on up north already.
going on up north already.
248
748327
3404
因為我們已經在北邊開始訓練。
12:44
Hundreds of women were there
coming to get training.
coming to get training.
249
752080
3627
數百位婦女都會去那裡接受訓練。
12:48
So I was sitting there,
all of a sudden, at this moment,
all of a sudden, at this moment,
250
756295
3753
所以我坐在那裡，
突然——
突然——
12:52
talking about momentum, we are,
251
760072
1953
現在我們在這談動力，
12:54
at that moment,
252
762501
1881
而在那個當下，
12:56
one of my wonderful donors
called me about a report.
called me about a report.
253
764406
3968
有一位超棒的贊助人
打電話給我討論一份報告。
打電話給我討論一份報告。
13:01
And she asked me, "Sakena?"
And I answered her.
And I answered her.
254
769207
3533
她問我：「莎肯娜？」
我回了她。
我回了她。
13:04
She said, "It's not you.
What's wrong with you?"
What's wrong with you?"
255
772764
2348
她說：「這不像妳。妳怎麼啦？」
13:07
I said, "Nothing." I tried to cover.
256
775136
2619
我說：「沒事」。我試著回神。
13:10
No matter what I tried to do,
she didn't believe me,
she didn't believe me,
257
778461
2856
不管我怎麼試，她都不相信我，
13:13
and she asked me again.
258
781341
1651
所以她又問我一次。
13:15
"OK, tell me what's going on?"
259
783016
1842
「好吧？告訴我怎麼了？」
13:16
I told her the whole story.
260
784882
2038
我就跟她說事情的來龍去脈。
13:18
At that time, she said, "OK,
you go next time, and you will help them.
you go next time, and you will help them.
261
786944
4651
那時她說：
「好，下次妳去，妳去幫助他們。
「好，下次妳去，妳去幫助他們。
13:24
You will help them."
262
792222
1611
妳會幫助他們。」
13:26
And when, two days later,
I went the same route,
I went the same route,
263
794142
3675
二天之後，
我又走在同樣一條路上，
我又走在同樣一條路上，
13:30
and do you know, they were not in here,
264
798364
2493
你們知道嗎，
他們不在原來的地方，
他們不在原來的地方，
13:32
they were a little back further,
265
800881
2173
他們在前面一點的地方，
13:35
the same young men, standing up there
and holding the rifle
and holding the rifle
266
803078
4549
同樣一批年輕人，
站在那裡荷著來福槍，
站在那裡荷著來福槍，
13:39
and pointing to us to stop the car.
267
807651
2306
槍口指著我們要我們停車。
13:41
So we stopped the car.
268
809981
1724
所以我們停下車。
13:43
I got out. I said, "OK, let's go with me."
269
811729
2880
我下車說：「好，跟我一起去。」
13:46
And they said, "Yes."
270
814999
1278
他們說：「好。」
13:48
I said, "On one condition,
that whatever I say, you accept it."
that whatever I say, you accept it."
271
816301
