2016
另一位女性來到銀行——
07:57
Kerabai.
161
465040
1536
克拉拜。
07:58
She mortgaged her gold and took the loan.
162
466600
3416
她抵押了她的金子，取得了貸款。
08:02
I asked Kerabai, "Why are you
mortgaging your precious jewelry
mortgaging your precious jewelry
163
470040
4696
我問克拉拜：「你為什麼
要把你寶貴的珠寶拿來抵押
要把你寶貴的珠寶拿來抵押
08:06
and taking a loan?"
164
474760
1696

08:08
Kerabai said, "Don't you realize
that it's a terrible drought?
that it's a terrible drought?
165
476480
3976
克拉拜說：「你不知道
旱災很嚴重嗎？
旱災很嚴重嗎？
08:12
There's no food or fodder for the animals.
166
480480
3496
沒有食物或飼料可以給動物吃。
08:16
No water.

08:21
And then she asks me,
"Can I mortgage gold and get water?"
"Can I mortgage gold and get water?"
169
489920
4776
接著，她問我：「我能
把金子抵押換成水嗎？」
把金子抵押換成水嗎？」
08:26
I had no answer.
170
494720
1200
我沒有答案。
08:28
Kerabai challenged me:
"You're working in the village
"You're working in the village
171
496840
3176
克拉拜挑戰我：「你在村子裡做
08:32
with women and finance,
172
500040
1896
女性的財務工作，
08:33
but what if one day there's no water?
173
501960
3456
但如果有一天，沒有水了呢？
08:37
If you leave this village,
174
505440
1336
如果你離開這個村子，
08:38
with whom are you going to do banking?"
175
506800
1880
你要跟誰做銀行生意？」
08:41
Kerabai had a valid question,
176
509520
2456
克拉拜的問題是有根據的，
08:44
so in this drought,
177
512000
1456
所以，在這場旱災時，
08:45
we decided to start
the cattle camp in the area.

178
513480
3600
我們決定要在這個區域
開始一個牲口營。

08:57
It didn't rain.
181

08:58
Cattle camp was extended for 18 months.

牲口營延長到了十八個月。
09:01
Kerabai used to move around
in the cattle camp
in the cattle camp
183
529760
3296
克拉拜那時會在牲口營中到處跑，
09:05
and sing the songs of encouragement.
184
533080
3136
唱一些鼓勵的歌曲。
09:08
Kerabai became very popular.
185
536240
1720
克拉拜變得很有名。
09:10
It rained and cattle camp was ended,
186
538640
3976
後來下雨了，牲口營就終止了，
09:14
but after cattle camp ended,
187
542640
1896
但在牲口營終止後，
09:16
Kerabai came to our radio --

"How did you end up singing?"
209
596520
1800
「你為什麼最後會選擇唱歌？」
10:11
She said, "Shall I tell you the real fact?
210
599800
2816
她說：「我該告訴你真相嗎？
10:14
When I was pregnant with my first child,

2816
當我懷了第一個孩子時，

I was always hungry.

I did not have enough food to eat.

2680
她們找到自己的路。
10:43
I would like to share another story:
220
631760
1976
我還想要分享另一個故事：
10:45

She has taken a course

2776
她變成了獸醫。
10:54
She's Dalit;
224
642520
1216
她是賤民；
10:55
she comes from an untouchable caste,
225
643760
2096
她來自最低的階層，
10:57
but she does artificial
insemination in goats.
insemination in goats.
226
645880
3200
但她做羊的人工授精。
11:01
It is a very male-dominated profession
227
649680
2456
那是個非常男性主導的職業，
11:04
and it is all the more
difficult for Sunita
difficult for Sunita
228
652160
2656
且對蘇妮塔來說更是困難，
11:06
because Sunita comes
from an untouchable caste.
from an untouchable caste.
229
654840
2496
因為蘇妮塔來自最低的階層。
11:09
But she worked very hard.
230
657360
1656
但她非常努力。
11:11
She did successful
goat deliveries in the region

235
673320
1616
去恭喜她。
11:26
When I entered the village,
236
674960
1376
當我進入村子時，
11:28
I saw a big cutout of Sunita.

11:41
When I went to her house,
242
689800
1576
當我到了她家時，
11:43
I was even more amazed
243
691400
2136
還有更讓我驚奇的，
11:45
because upper caste leaders --
244
693560
2296
因為上層階級的領導人——
11:47
men -- were sitting
in the house, in her house,
in the house, in her house,

這在印度是非常罕見的。
11:55
Upper caste leaders

上層階級的領導人
不會去賤民的房子
