速度姐妹：與中東女賽車隊的相遇
Palestine’s girl racers customise ordinary cars to compete against established male teams across the West Bank. Now they’re the subject of a feature-length documentary.
在約旦河西岸，巴勒斯坦地區的女性賽車手定製普通車與建立團隊男性競爭。現在她們是一個長篇紀錄片的主題人物。
The acrylic nails aren’t the first thing you notice, but they’re definitely in the mix, alongside hot dust, hot air, thick engine oil, makeshift tracks, customised street cars, puffy one-piece racing suits. Oh yes, and women: Palestinian women, some of whom wear amazing nail art.
丙烯酸指甲並非是你注意到的第一件東西，但它們和熱塵埃、熱空氣、厚發動機油、臨時軌道、定製街汽車和浮腫連體賽車服是絕對組合。哦，對了，婦女，尤其是巴勒斯坦婦女，她們中的一些人指甲上有着令人讚歎的藝術。
Meet the world’s first all-female racing-car driving team from occupied Palestine. There’s Maysoon Jayyusi, the team’s 38-year-old manager, from Jerusalem, who says her love for racing-car driving came from the frustration of being stuck in the West Bank’s constant traffic jams and checkpoints; Mona Ali, 29, from Ramallah, who was one of the first female racers in Palestine; Marah Zahalka, 23, who was a racing champion at 19; Noor Dauod, 25, from Jerusalem, who is determinedly persistent, if not always successful on the race track; and finally Betty Saadeh, 35, the only member who comes from a wealthy family of racers in Bethlehem.
與世界上首個女性賽車駕駛團隊在巴勒斯坦相遇。美薰婭雨絲,她是團隊的經理,今年38歲，來自耶路撒冷,她說她對賽車駕駛的愛來自於在約旦河西岸堵塞不斷的交通和檢查點的經歷；莫娜·阿里,29歲，來自拉馬拉,她是巴勒斯坦首批女選手中的一位；瑪拉扎拉卡,23歲,她是一位19歲的賽車冠軍;努爾道得,25歲,來自耶路撒冷,如果沒有在賽道上成功,就會一直繼續堅持；最後是貝蒂薩德,35歲，是唯一一位來自伯利恆的富裕家庭的賽車手。
The five women are the focus of Amber Fare’s feature-length documentary, Speed Sisters, which recently played to full houses at an international documentary festival in Sheffield. It’s a full-throttle but sensitive take on the adventures this female team face as they take on all the stereotypes that confront them as they try to break into a male-dominated sport within a conservative (relatively speaking – this isn’t Saudi Arabia) society.
這五個女人就是長篇紀錄片琥珀色中速度姐妹的焦點人物,該紀錄片日前在謝菲爾德國際紀錄片電影節播放。片中以飽滿又敏感的冒險方式展開講述她們接受針對她們的所有成見，如何試圖進入男性主導的一個保守的(相對而言,這不是沙特阿拉伯)的社會。
Weaved into all of this is the essentially Palestinian story of life under occupation: trying to find freedom and agency in pursuits such as sport while the economic and practical realities of a decades-long military occupation seem to stymie these attempts at every turn.
形成這一切的本質是由於巴勒斯坦生活在佔領之下：試圖找到自由和和追求的機構，如運動，而動輒阻礙這些嘗試的則是長達數年軍事對經濟的侵佔和實用情況。
