My family was in a refugee camp.

那时，我的家人在一个难民营当中
02:06
So as soon as I completed my education,

But I wasn't happy.

但是我并不快乐
02:49
I wanted to go back home.
49
157904
1721
我想回家
02:52
So I went to the refugee camp.

And when I went

03:13
And you know, in the refugee camp,
56
181850
2467
在难民营里
03:16
when I went day-to-day to do a survey,
57
184698
2484
当我每天都去做例行调查时
03:19
I found things you never could imagine.
58
187674
3707
我发现了一些你无法想象的事情
03:24
I saw a widow with five to eight children
59
192174
2675
我看到一个寡妇带着五到八个孩子
03:26
sitting there and weeping
60
194873
2221
坐在那里哭泣
03:29
and not knowing what to do.
61
197435

孩子们不知道该干什么
03:31
I saw a young woman
have no way to go anywhere,

我看到一个年轻的妇女无处可去
03:35
no education, no entertainment,
no place to even live.

63
203070
4881
没有教育，没有娱乐，甚至没有生存的地方
03:40
I saw young men that had lost
their father and their home,
their father and their home,
64
208736
4778
我看到年轻的男人们失去了他们的父亲和家园
03:45
and they are supporting the family
as a 10-to-12-year old boy --
as a 10-to-12-year old boy --
65
213538
4893
尽管只有10到12岁，他们已经开始养家糊口
03:50
being the head of the household,
66
218455
1690
成为一家之长
03:52
trying to protect their sister
and their mother and their children.
and their mother and their children.
67
220169
3191
尽力保护他们的姐妹，母亲和他们自己的孩子
03:56
So it was a very devastating situation.
68
224113
3039
那情景真令人心碎
03:59
My heart was beating for my people,
69
227176
2928
我的心在为我的人民而颤抖
04:02
and I didn't know what to do.
70
230128
1667
却不知道该做些什么
04:04
At that moment, we talk about momentum.
71
232533
2611
在那一瞬间，我们谈到了动力
04:07
At that moment, I felt,
what can I do for these people?
what can I do for these people?
72
235636
3800
在那一瞬间，我感受到了。我能为这些人们做什么呢？
04:11
How could I help these people?
73
239801
1803
我怎样帮助这些人们？
04:13
I am one individual.
What can I do for them?
What can I do for them?
74
241628
3038
作为个人，我能为他们做什么？
04:17
But at that moment, I knew
75
245205
2643
然而在那一瞬间，我明白了
04:19
that education changed my life.
76
247872
2547
教育改变了我的生活
04:22
It transformed me. It gave me status.
77
250745
3714
它彻底改变了我。它带给我地位
04:26
It gave me confidence.
It gave me a career.
It gave me a career.
78
254483
3631
它带给我自信，它给了我职业
04:30
It helped me to support my family,
79
258138
2214
它帮助我支撑着我的家庭
04:32
to bring my family to another country,
80
260376
2455
把我的家庭带到了另一个国家
04:34
to be safe.
81
262855
1164
安全的国家
04:36
And I knew that at that moment
82
264853
2737
而且我知道，在那一瞬间
04:39
that what I should give to my people
is education and health,
is education and health,
83
267614
4008
我知道我应该带给我的人民的是教育和健康
04:43
and that's what I went after.
84
271932
1587
这就是我后来做的事情
04:45
But do you think it was easy?
85
273942
2341
但是你们觉得它容易吗？
04:48
No, because at that time, education
was banned for girls, completely.
was banned for girls, completely.
86
276695
6532
它不容易。因为在那个时候，女孩被完全禁止接受教育
04:56
And also, by Russia invading Afghanistan,
87
284346
3688
也因为俄国入侵阿富汗
05:00
people were not trusting anyone.
88
288058
2183
人们不相信任何人
05:03
It was very hard to come and say,
"I want to do this."
"I want to do this."
89
291058
3722
告诉他们说我想做这件事真是太难了
05:06
Who am I?
90
294804
1421
我是什么身份？
05:08
Somebody who comes from the United States.
91
296249
2126
一个从美国来的人
05:10
Somebody who got educated here.
92
298399
1898
在美国接受了教育的人
05:12
Did they trust me? Of course not.
93
300321
2674
他们会相信我吗？当然不会
05:15
So I really needed to build
the trust in this community.
the trust in this community.
94
303622
4314
所以我真的需要在这个社区建立信任
05:19
How am I going to do that?
95
307960
1841
那么我如何做到呢？
05:22
I went and surveyed and looked and looked.
96
310372
2897
我去调查
05:25
I asked.
97
313626
1309
去寻访
05:26
Finally, I found one man.
98
314959
2262
终于，我找到了一个人
05:29
He was 80 years old.
99
317674
1436
他当时已有八十岁
05:31
He was a mullah.
100
319412
1412
他是一个毛拉（学者）
05:33
I went to his tent in the camp,
101
321435
2635
我去了他在难民营的帐篷里
05:36
and I asked him,
102
324451
1595
我问他
05:38
"I want to make you a teacher."
103
326070
2095
我想让你做一名老师
05:41
And he looked at me,
104
329117
1651
他看着我
05:42
and he said, "Crazy woman,
105
330792
1373
对我说：“你这个疯女人，
05:45
crazy woman, how do you think
I can be a teacher?"
I can be a teacher?"
106
333157
4008
竟然想让我当老师？”
05:49
And I told him,
"I will make you a teacher."
"I will make you a teacher."
107
337911
2484
我说：“我会让你当上老师的。”
05:52
Finally, he accepted my offer,
108
340705
2143
最终，他答应了。
05:55
and once I started a class
in his compound,
in his compound,
109
343554
2802
我在他住的地方开了第一堂课
05:58
the word spread all over.
110
346935
1913
消息很快传开了
06:01
In a matter of one year,
111

在一年时间里
06:03
we had 25 schools set up,

351823

354768
2944
一万五千个孩子上了学
06:09
and it was amazing.
114
357736
2096
这真的很了不起
06:11
(Applause)
115
359856

有一天
06:34
one day I was in the office
in Peshawar, Pakistan.
in Peshawar, Pakistan.
122
382087
3659
当我在巴基斯坦白沙瓦的办公室里
06:38
All of a sudden, I saw my staff
running to rooms and locking the doors
running to rooms and locking the doors
123
386556
4910
突然，我看到所有员工都奔向房间并锁上门
06:43
and telling me, "Run away, hide!"
124
391490
2953
他们对我喊：“快跑！躲起来！“
06:47
And you know, as a leader, what do you do?
125
395268
2508
试想，作为负责人，应该怎么办？
06:50
You're scared. You know it's dangerous.
126
398419
3874
你害怕了，你知道这非常危险
06:54
You know your life is on the line.
127
402317
1770
你知道你命悬一线
06:56
But as a leader,
you have to hold it together.

128

可是，作为负责人，你必须团结大家

You have to hold it together
and show strength.

129
407309
2698
你必须让大家团结一致, 不能示弱
07:02
So I said, "What's going on?"
130
410412
2206
于是我说：”发生什么事了？“
07:04
And these people were pouring
into my office.
into my office.
131
412642
2865
他们涌入我的办公室
07:07
So I invited them to the office.

1659
我邀请他们进来
07:09
They came, and there were
nine of them -- nine Taliban.
nine of them -- nine Taliban.
133
417563

07:14
They were the ugliest looking men
you can ever see.

134
422753
2722
他们是你看过的最丑陋的人
07:17
(Laughter)
135
425499
2041
（笑声）
07:19
Very mean-looking people,

going to drink tea.
140
437641
2492
他们拒绝了。他们可不是来喝茶的
07:32
And of course, with the tone
of voice they were using,
of voice they were using,
141
440934
3452
当然，用他们一贯的腔调
07:36
it was very scary,
142
444410
1396
真的是非常可怕
07:37
but I was really shaking up.
143
445830
2587
我有点发抖
07:40
But also I was strong, holding myself up.
144
448441
3579
但我还是强作镇定
07:44
And, of course, by that time,

我从头到脚都蒙着黑纱
07:49
The only thing you could see, my eyes.
147
457973

07:53
They asked me, "What are you doing?
148
461464
2454
他们问我：”你在干什么？“
07:55
Don't you know that school
is banned for girls?
is banned for girls?
149
463942
3405
你难道不知道女孩子不准上学吗？
07:59
What are you doing here?"
150
467776
1738
你这是在干什么？
08:01
And you know, I just looked at them,
151
469926
2597
我就看着他们
08:04
and I said, "What school?
Where is the school?"
Where is the school?"
152
472547
2595
然后说：“什么学校？哪有学校？”
08:07
(Laughter)
153
475507
2801
（笑声）
08:10
(Applause)
154
478332
3096
（掌声）
08:13
And they look at my face, and they said,
"You are teaching girls here."
"You are teaching girls here."
155
481452
3761
他们盯着我，说：“你在这让女孩子接受教育！“
08:17
I said, "This is a house of somebody.
156
485237
2834
我回答：“这里是私人住宅。”
08:20
We have some students coming,
157
488428
1904
有一些学生
08:22
and they are all learning
Koran, Holy Book.
Koran, Holy Book.
158
490356
2952
他们都是来学习《古兰经》的
08:25
And you know, Koran says that
if you learn the Holy Book, the woman,
if you learn the Holy Book, the woman,
159
493792
4270
你们知道，《古兰经》里说，
如果妇女们学习了古兰经
如果妇女们学习了古兰经
08:30
they can be a good wife,
160
498086
2253
她们会成为好妻子
08:32
and they can obey their husband."
161
500363
2040
会更服从他们的丈夫
08:34
(Laughter)
162
502768
4144
（笑声）
08:38
And I tell you one thing:
163
506936
1817
我告诉你们一件事：
08:40
that's the way you work with those people,
and you know --
and you know --
164
508777
2723
这就是我如何与这些人相处的
08:43
(Laughter)
165
511524
1451
（笑声）
08:44
So by that time,
they started speaking Pashto.
they started speaking Pashto.
166
512999
4023
之后，他们开始讲普什图语
08:49
They talked to each other,
167
517046
1929
他们自己商量了一会儿
08:50
and they said, "Let's go,
leave her alone, she's OK."
leave her alone, she's OK."
168
518999
2690
然后说：“我们走吧，她没问题。”
08:54
And you know, this time,
I offered them tea again,
I offered them tea again,
169
522904
3904
这回，我又请他们喝茶
08:58
and they took a sip and they laughed.
170
526832
2658
他们喝了一口然后笑了
09:02
By that time, my staff
poured into my office.
poured into my office.
171
530141
4127
我的员工这才冲进办公室
09:06
They were scared to death.
172
534292
2015
他们害怕死亡
09:08
They didn't know why they didn't kill me.
173
536331
2071
他们不明白为什么他们（塔利班）没杀我
09:10
They didn't know why
they didn't take me away.
they didn't take me away.
174
538426
2437
也不知道为什么我没被带走
09:12
But everybody was happy to see me.
175
540887
2738
但是，每个人看到我还活着都很高兴
09:16
Very happy, and I was happy
to be alive, of course.
to be alive, of course.
176
544164
2993
我也同样为自己还活着感到高兴
09:19
(Laughter)
177
547181
1151
（笑声）
09:20
Of course, I was happy to be alive.
178
548356
2014
我当然庆幸自己还活着
09:22
But also, as we continuously gave
training during the fall of the Taliban --
training during the fall of the Taliban --
179
550394
5876
在塔利班衰落时期，我们继续提供培训
09:28
of course during the Taliban
there is another story.
there is another story.
180
556294
2437
在塔利班时期还有另一个故事
09:30
We went underground and we provided
education for 80 schoolgirls,
education for 80 schoolgirls,
181
558755
4159
我们转入了地下并为三千名学生提供教育
09:34
3,000 students underground,
and continuously we trained.
and continuously we trained.
182
562938
3523
其中有八十个女生
09:38
With the fall of the Taliban,
we went into the country,
we went into the country,
183
566802
2917
随着塔利班的衰落，我们还将工作开展到乡下
09:41
and we opened school after school.
184
569743
2460
兴办了一所又一所学校
09:44
We opened women's learning center.
185
572227
2405
我们开设了妇女学习中心
09:46
We continuously opened clinics.
186
574656
1936
不断开办诊所
09:48
We worked with mothers and children.
187
576616
1984
我们和母亲们和她们的孩子共事
09:50
We had reproductive health training.
188
578624
1723
我们还有生殖健康培训
09:52
We had all kinds of training
that you can imagine.
that you can imagine.
189
580371
2816
只有你想不到的，没有我们不开设的
09:55
I was very happy. I was delighted
with the outcome of my work.
with the outcome of my work.
190
583489
4269
我非常高兴，为我们的工作成果感到非常欣慰
10:00
And one day, with four trainers
and one bodyguard,
and one bodyguard,
191
588155
3259
有一天，我和四名教师以及一名保镖一起
10:03
I was going up north of Kabul,
192
591771
2436
去往喀布尔北部
10:06
and all of a sudden, again,
193
594692
1920
突然，危机再次发生
10:09
I was stopped in the middle of the road
194
597239
2278
我在路中间被拦住了
10:11
by 19 young men.
195
599541
1891
被十九个青年男子拦住
10:13
Rifles on their shoulders,
they blocked the road.
they blocked the road.
196
601836
2643
他们肩上背着枪，把路封了
10:17
And I told my driver, "What's going on?"
197
605646
2905
我问司机：“发生什么事了？”
10:20
And the driver said, "I don't know."
198
608575
1723
司机回答：“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
他问他们。他们说：“不关你的事。”
10:25
They called my name.
They said, "We want her."
They said, "We want her."
200
613115
3007
他们叫了我的名字。说：“我们要找的是她。”
10:28
My bodyguard got out, said,
"I can answer you.
"I can answer you.
201
616828
2903
我的保镖下了车，说：“我来回答你
10:31
What do you want?"
202
619755
1294
你们想要什么？”
10:33
They said, "Nothing." They called my name.
203
621073
2007
他们答道：“什么也不要。” 一边叫着我的名字
10:35
And by that time, the women
are yelling and screaming inside the car.
are yelling and screaming inside the car.
204
623104
4871
当时，女人们都在车里尖叫
10:39
I am very shaken up,
and I told myself, this is it.
and I told myself, this is it.
205
627999
2555
我怕得发抖，对自己说，今天要死定了
10:42
This time, we all are going to be killed.
206
630578
2517
这回，我们可能都要没命了
10:45
There is no doubt in my mind.
207
633119
2300
我毫不怀疑地这样想着
10:47
But still, the moment comes,
and you take strength
and you take strength
208
635721
4912
但是，当这一刻来临时，我又充满力量
10:52
from whatever you believe
and whatever you do.
and whatever you do.
209
640657
2874
这力量来自我相信的和我所做的一切
10:55
It's in your heart.
210
643555
1365
它就在你的心中
10:56
You believe in your worth,
and you can walk on it.
and you can walk on it.
211
644944
2875
你相信自己所做的一切都是值得的，并且值得为之奋斗
10:59
So I just hold myself
on the side of the car.
on the side of the car.
212
647843
3539
于是我靠着车的一侧
11:03
My leg was shaking, and I got outside.
213
651406
3555
我双腿站站地走下车
11:06
And I asked them, "What can I do for you?"
214
654985
2500
我问他们：“我能为你们做点什么？”
11:09
You know what they said to me?
215
657509
1587
你们知道他们怎样回答吗？
11:11
They said, "We know who you are.
216
659120
3142
他们说：“我们知道你是谁。”
11:14
We know where you are going.
217
662286
1922
我们也知道你要去哪
11:16
Every day you go up north here and there.
218
664232
2681
你每天都在北边跑来跑去
11:18
You train women, you teach them
219
666937
3048
你培训妇女们，教育她们
11:22
and also you give them an
opportunity to have a job.
opportunity to have a job.
220
670009
3047
而且你还帮他们找工作
11:25
You build their skills. How about us?"
221
673080
2800
你为她们培养技能。可是我们怎么办？“
11:27
(Laughter)
222
675904
2851
（笑声）
11:30
(Applause)
223
678779
2968
（掌声）
11:33
"And you know, how about us?
224
681771
4364
“我们怎么办？
11:38
What are we going to do?"
225
686159
1586
我们干什么去？
11:39
I looked at them, and I said,
"I don't know."
"I don't know."
226
687769
2372
我看着他们说：“我也不知道。”
11:42
(Laughter)
227
690165
2818
（笑声）
11:45
They said, "It's OK.
228
693007
1571
他们说“好吧。
11:46
The only thing we can do, what we know,
229
694602
2160
从出生时，我们能做的唯一一件事
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
就是拿枪，杀人
11:51
That's all we know."
231
699889
1276
这就是我们知道的所有了。”
11:53
And you know what that means.
232
701713
1469
你们知道这意味着什么
11:55
It's a trap to me, of course.
233
703206
1887
这对我而言显然是一个陷阱
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
于是我就离开了那里
。他们说：“我们会放你走，走吧。”
。他们说：“我们会放你走，走吧。”
12:01
And so I walked into the car,
I sit in the car,
I sit in the car,
235
709435
2904
我就上了车汽车。坐在车里，
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
我对司机说：“掉头回办公室。”
12:07
At that time, we only
were supporting girls.
were supporting girls.
237
715999
3413
那个时候，我们只帮助女孩。
12:11
We only had money for women to train them,
238
719436
3461
我们的经费只够为女性提供培训
12:14
to send them to school, and nothing else.
239
722921
2618
把她们送进学校，仅此而已
12:17
By the time I came to the office,
240
725881
2531
等我回到办公室
12:20
of course my trainers were gone.
241
728722
2253
当然，教师们都逃走了
12:22
They ran away home. Nobody stayed there.
242
730999
2970
他们都逃回家。那里空无一人
12:26
My bodyguard was the only one there,
243
734414
2500
只剩我的保镖
12:29
and my voice was completely gone.
244
737390
2706
我完全说不出话
12:32
I was shaken up, and I sat on my table,
245
740120
3135
我颤抖着坐在桌子边上
12:35
and I said, "What am I going to do?"
246
743279
2008
问：“我们该怎么办？”
12:37
How am I going to solve this problem?
247
745827
2476
怎么解决问题？
12:40
Because we had training
going on up north already.
going on up north already.
248
748327
3404
因为我们在北部的培训正在进行
12:44
Hundreds of women were there
coming to get training.
coming to get training.
249
752080
3627
几百名妇女在那接受培训
12:48
So I was sitting there,
all of a sudden, at this moment,
all of a sudden, at this moment,
250
756295
3753
我坐在那里，突然，那一瞬间
12:52
talking about momentum, we are,
251
760072
1953
我们又谈到了动力
12:54
at that moment,
252
762501
1881
在那时候
12:56
one of my wonderful donors
called me about a report.
called me about a report.
253
764406
3968
一个我的很好的捐款人给我电话询问一份报告
13:01
And she asked me, "Sakena?"
And I answered her.
And I answered her.
254
769207
3533
她叫我“萨克纳？”
我回答了她
我回答了她
13:04
She said, "It's not you.
What's wrong with you?"
What's wrong with you?"
255
772764
2348
她说：“这不是你。
你出什么事了？”
你出什么事了？”
13:07
I said, "Nothing." I tried to cover.
256
775136
2619
我说：“没事啊。”我试图掩饰
13:10
No matter what I tried to do,
she didn't believe me,
she didn't believe me,
257
778461
2856
无论我怎样尝试，她都不肯相信我
13:13
and she asked me again.
258
781341
1651
她又一次问我
13:15
"OK, tell me what's going on?"
259
783016
1842
“好了，告诉我到底发生什么了？”
13:16
I told her the whole story.
260
784882
2038
我告诉了她整个事情的经过
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
当时，她对我说：”好吧，
你再去一次，你会帮到他们的。
你再去一次，你会帮到他们的。
13:24
You will help them."
262
792222
1611
你能够帮助他们。”
13:26
And when, two days later,
I went the same route,
I went the same route,
263
794142
3675
两天以后，我又走了同一条路，
13:30
and do you know, they were not in here,
264
798364
2493
你们知道吗，他们不在那了
13:32
they were a little back further,
265
800881
2173
他们后退了一些
13:35
the same young men, standing up there
and holding the rifle
and holding the rifle
266
803078
4549
还是那个年轻人，站在那里，背着枪
13:39
and pointing to us to stop the car.
267
807651
2306
指示我们停车
13:41
So we stopped the car.
268
809981
1724
于是我们停下了车
13:43
I got out. I said, "OK, let's go with me."
269
811729
2880
我下车，说到：“好吧，跟我走吧。”
13:46
And they said, "Yes."
270
814999
1278
他们说：“好的。”
13:48
I said, "On one condition,
that whatever I say, you accept it."
that whatever I say, you accept it."
271
816301
4428
我说：“我有一个条件，
无论我说什么，你们都要接受。”
无论我说什么，你们都要接受。”
13:53
And they said, yes, they do.
272
821046
1579
他们说，好吧，他们答应
13:54
So I took them to the mosque,
273
822649
1873
于是我带他们去了清真寺
13:56
and to make a long story short,
274
824863
2789
长话短说
13:59
I told them I'd give them teachers.
275
827999
2423
我告诉他们我要给他们找老师
14:02
Today, they are the best trainers.
276
830763
3952
今天，他们已经成为最好的教师了
14:06
They learn English,
277
834739
1659
他们学习英语
14:08
they learn how to be teachers,
278
836422
2436
他们学习怎样成为一名教师
14:10
they learn computers,
279
838882
1738
他们学习电脑
14:12
and they are my guides.
280
840644
1850
他们是我的向导
14:14
Every area that is unknown to us
in the mountain areas,
in the mountain areas,
281
842518
3837
在山区里每一片我不熟悉的地方
14:18
they go with me.
They are ahead, and we go.
They are ahead, and we go.
282
846379
2247
他们都跟我一起走，他们带路，我跟着
14:20
And they protect us.
283
848650
1657
而且他们保护我
14:23
And --
284
851275
1151
还有...
14:24
(Applause)
285
852450
1151
（掌声）
14:25
Thank you.
286
853625
1151
谢谢！
14:26
(Applause)
287
854800
3506
（掌声）
14:30
That tells you that education
transforms people.
transforms people.
288
858330
4159
这说明教育改造了人们
14:35
When you educate people,
289
863513
2134
当你带给人们教育
14:37
they are going to be different,
290
865671
1968
他们就会变得不同
14:39
and today all over,
291
867663
1683
如今，这些都已成往事
14:41
we need to work for gender equality.
292
869370
2372
我们需要为性别平等而努力
14:43
We cannot only train women
but forget about the men,
but forget about the men,
293
871766
3706
我们不能只为妇女提供培训而忘记了男性
14:47
because the men are the real people
who are giving women the hardest time.
who are giving women the hardest time.
294
