被神秘的王国，奇珍异兽，

or scruffy little ducks

又或者是长成天鹅的丑小鸭所深深吸引。
00:59
Well, that's how it is for some children,
14
47616
2310
有些孩子就是这样成长起来的，
01:01
but for other children,
15

但是还有一些孩子，
01:03
there isn't a parent around
to read to them.

16
51894

01:31
When she asks her mum, her mum gets upset.
25
79788
2172
每当她询问母亲的时候，
母亲就伤心不已。
母亲就伤心不已。
01:33
So she stops asking.
26
81984
1791
所以她也不再问了。
01:37
Sophie waits.

1341
索菲等啊等。
01:39
She really misses her dad.

每天放学后她都匆匆回家，
期待着她的父亲或许已经回来了。

01:46
On many nights,

34
108082

02:03
And her teacher can't understand
why she's so far behind
why she's so far behind
35
111749
3006
她的老师也不能理解，
02:06
with her schoolwork.
36
114779
1346
为什么索菲的功课远远落后于其他孩子。
02:10
After what seems
a long, long time to Sophie,
a long, long time to Sophie,
37
118180
3683
在索菲度过了十分漫长的一段时间后，
02:13
a letter arrives.
38

来了一封信。
02:15
It's from her dad.
39
123403

是她的爸爸寄来的。
02:16
The writing is very messy.
40
124815
2365
字迹十分的潦草凌乱。
02:19
The letter makes her mum cry,
but she reads a little out to Sophie.

Sophie says she'd like to go
and see her dad, wherever he is.

索菲说她想要去看望父亲，
无论他在哪里。

But her mum says it's too far away,
and they can't afford the journey.

02:38
Then one day the phone rings.
46
146829
2150
之后一天，电话铃响了。
02:41
"Sophie, come speak to daddy."
47
149003
2738
“索菲，快来接你爸爸的电话。”
02:44
Dad sounds different, far away.
48

And Sophie doesn't know

51
161476

索菲也不知道要向父亲说什么。
02:58
Well, as stories go,
that's not a very nice one.

52
166631
2761
好了，对于故事而言，
这不是一个美好的故事。

03:01
In the United Kingdom, 200,000 children

在英国，二十万个孩子因为父母服刑
03:06
experience the shame and isolation
of a parent in prison.

而处于羞耻和被孤立的境地中。
03:11
Two hundred thousand.

03:13
That's more than the number
of children each year

这个数字大于每年

服刑人的孩子被深深的影响着。
03:21
There can be problems at school,

他们或许会在学校遇到麻烦，
03:23
and they're three times more likely
to suffer from mental health issues.

他们比其他孩子有三倍的可能性
遭受到精神问题的困扰。

03:28
In so many ways,
61
196932
1502
就很多方面而言，
03:30
children are the unintended victims
of their parents' crimes.
of their parents' crimes.
62

孩子成为了父母犯罪后无辜的受害者。

Until last November,
I was a serving prisoner,

直到去年十一月，我因为欺诈，
03:47
imprisoned for fraud.
66
215000
1499
作为罪犯一直在服刑。
03:48
I was dishonest, and I paid the penalty.
67
216974
2600
我不诚实，我付出了代价。
03:52
Before that, I'd been
a practicing solicitor for 30 years.

在那之前，我是一个

I'd had a happy and stable upbringing,

我的童年幸福稳定。

a good education,
70
226911

接受过良好的教育，

I'm pleased to say, continues.

拥有一段美满的婚姻，我可以
很开心得说，这婚姻还延续着。

04:03
I have two adult sons.
72
231101
2547
我有两个已成年的儿子。
04:06
When they were growing up,
I did my best to be around for them
I did my best to be around for them
73
234387
3587
我尽我所能陪伴着
04:09
as much as I could.
74

1452
他们的成长。
04:11
And I took a careful interest
in what they did.
in what they did.
75
239474
2229
我细心留意他们的兴趣爱好。
04:13
I read to my boys every night,
76
241727
2953
我每晚都给我的孩子们讲故事。
04:16
and ironically, our favorite story
was "Burglar Bill."
was "Burglar Bill."
77
244704
4815
讽刺的是，我们最喜欢的
故事是“大盗比尔”。
故事是“大盗比尔”。
04:21
(Laughter)
78
249543
2145
（笑声）
04:25
But when I got to prison,
it soon became apparent
it soon became apparent
79
253210
2610
但当我到了监狱，很快就很明显
04:27
that my background was very different
to that of most of the prisoners.
to that of most of the prisoners.
80
255844
4115
我的背景和大多数的服刑人员很不同。
04:32
Few of the men that I met
had had a decent education.

81
260505
3136
我认识的人中几乎没有人
接受过良好的教育。
接受过良好的教育。
04:35
Indeed, many associated education
with humiliation and failure.

82
263665
4769
实际上是，许多人的教育经历中
夹杂着羞辱和失败。
夹杂着羞辱和失败。
04:40
I can tell you firsthand
that prison is dehumanizing.
that prison is dehumanizing.
83
268458
4162
我可以用切身经历告诉你，服
刑是无人性的。
刑是无人性的。
04:45
Prisoners harden up,
they shut down, they close in ...
they shut down, they close in ...
84
273592
3428
服刑者变得凶狠，变得自闭...
04:49
just to survive.
85
277863
1447
仅仅为了活下去。
04:52
And this can be devastating for families.
86
280166
2396
这对家庭来说是毁灭性的。
04:56
In fact, maintaining contact
with your family from prison
with your family from prison
87
284546
4178
事实上，在狱中跟家人保持联系
05:00
can be very difficult indeed.
88
288748
1933
确实非常困难。
05:03
And if a child does get to see
their parent in prison,
their parent in prison,
89
291613
3150
如果小孩能去看狱中的父母，
05:06
they have to go through
the same pat-down searches as the adults.
the same pat-down searches as the adults.
90
294787
3111
他们也要像成人那样被搜身。
05:09
They walk through
the same detector frames,
the same detector frames,
91
297922
2764
他们通过同样的探测门，
05:12
they're sniffed by the same sniffer dogs,
92
300710
2161
被同样的嗅探犬嗅过，
05:14
and all because some children
have been the unwitting carriers
have been the unwitting carriers
93
302895
3404
而这一切都是因为一些
孩子在无意中成为了
孩子在无意中成为了
05:18
of drugs and mobile phones.
94
306323
2184
毒品和手机的携带者。
05:21
And when they get through
to see their parent,
to see their parent,
95
309567
2171
当他们通过这些见到父母时，
05:23
they may be tired from a long journey,
96
311762
2686
他们可能因为长途旅行而劳累不堪，
05:26
shy, tongue-tied, even upset.
97
314472
2991
害羞，张口结舌，甚至心烦意乱。
05:29
And it isn't easy for the parents,
who may not be getting along.
who may not be getting along.
98
317853
3571
这对父母来说并不容易，
他们可能相处不好。
他们可能相处不好。
05:34
For many reasons, not just these,
99
322227
1877
还有很多原因，不止这些，
05:36
over half of prisoners lose contact
with their children and families.
with their children and families.
100
324957
4332
超过一半的囚犯跟孩子和家人失去联系。
05:41
How can we help prisoners
to stay in contact with their families?
to stay in contact with their families?
101
329942
3684
我们如何帮助囚犯与家人保持联系？
05:46
When I was a prisoner
at Channings Wood Prison,
at Channings Wood Prison,
102
334574
2270
当我还是通灵伍德监狱的囚犯时，
05:48
I began working for a charity
called Storybook Dads.
called Storybook Dads.
103
336868
3060
我开始为一个叫做“故事书爸爸”
的慈善机构工作。
的慈善机构工作。
05:52
Storybook Dads began in 2003,
104
340934
2696
故事书爸爸成立于2003年，
05:55
when Sharon Berry, a civilian worker
in a prison, realized just how much
in a prison, realized just how much
105
343654
5237
当时在监狱里工作的莎伦·贝里意识到
06:00
many prisoners wanted to stay
in contact with their children.
in contact with their children.
106
348915
3213
很多囚犯是如何强烈想要
跟孩子们保持联系。
跟孩子们保持联系。
06:04
And so, armed with a few storybooks,
107
352694
2342
于是，带着几本故事书，
06:07
she began to help prisoners
to read and record stories
to read and record stories
108
355060
2959
她开始帮助囚犯阅读和录制故事
06:10
to send home to their children.
109
358043
2067
寄回家给他们的小孩。
06:12
It wasn't a new idea.
Few ideas like this are new.
Few ideas like this are new.
110
360468
3804
这并非新主意，像这样的主意并不新鲜。
06:16
They're great ideas.
111
364611
1333
这是很棒的主意。
06:18
But it was an instant success.
112
366942
2155
但它立刻大获成功。
06:22
You may wonder: How does the recording
of the stories work in prison?
of the stories work in prison?
113
370466
4967
你可能会好奇：
在监狱中如何录制这些故事的？
在监狱中如何录制这些故事的？
06:27
Is it difficult for prisoners?
114
375769
2190
对囚犯会太难吗？
06:29
Can it be challenging?
115
377983
1467
会有挑战吗？
06:33
Well, the process of choosing,
reading and recording a story
reading and recording a story
116
381380
4614
是的，选择、阅读和录制故事的流程
06:38
can be very challenging for prisoners.
117
386018
2273
对于囚犯而言是个很大的挑战。
06:42
Prison is tough,
118
390090
2020
监狱是艰难的，
06:44
and prisoners can't afford to show
any signs of weakness or vulnerability.
any signs of weakness or vulnerability.
119
392134
4837
囚犯不能够显示出任何的
软弱或脆弱的迹象。
软弱或脆弱的迹象。
06:50
But this, this recording process,
120
398234
3015
但这个，这个录制过程，
06:53
this can be uncomfortable, upsetting,
sometimes all just a bit too much.
sometimes all just a bit too much.
121
401273
5992
可能会让人不舒服，不安，
有时候甚至有点太过了。
有时候甚至有点太过了。
07:01
And prisoners often cry.
122
409884
1801
囚犯常常会哭泣。
07:04
They cry because they regret
missing out on their children's lives.
missing out on their children's lives.
123
412741
4347
他们哭泣是因为他们后悔
错过孩子们的时光。
错过孩子们的时光。
07:09
They cry because they're ashamed
that they've let their families down.
that they've let their families down.
124
417701
3752
他们哭泣是因为让家人失望而感到羞愧。
07:13
They cry because they don't know
how to go about reading to their children.
how to go about reading to their children.
125
421846
4698
他们哭泣是因为他们不知道
如何为他们的孩子阅读。
如何为他们的孩子阅读。
07:20
But because when they come to us
we offer a private space, one-to-one,
we offer a private space, one-to-one,
126
428298
5533
但因为当他们来到我们这边时，
我们会提供私人空间，一对一的，
我们会提供私人空间，一对一的，
07:25
prisoners don't need to be tough anymore,
127
433855
3072
囚犯不需要继续坚强，
07:28
and they can use
their vulnerability as a strength
their vulnerability as a strength
128

07:39
He was a big, hard man
with a reputation for being tough.

131
447095

他是个高大坚强并因强硬而出名的男人。
07:43
He came along as implacable as ever.
132

But when the door of the recording
room closed behind him,

133
453723

但当录音室的门关上时，
07:48
that facade began to crumble.
134
456807
1744
那副做派开始崩溃。
07:50
From his pocket, he took
a screwed-up piece of paper

he began to sing their favorite lullaby.
140

08:10
You see, there wasn't much
that he could do from behind bars
