雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第22章:踏上未知的旅程(7)
Nobody consulted my mother and father on what should happen to me. All decisions were made by the army.
General Kayani asked Dr Javid whether I should be sent abroad or not.
基亞尼將軍問賈維德醫生該不該送我出國接受治療。The army chief was spending a surprising amount of his time on the issue – Dr Javid says they spent six hours discussing me!
賈維德醫生說他們居然討論了六個小時！
Perhaps more than any politician he understood the political implications if I did not survive.
也許基亞尼將軍比其他政治人物都更明白，如果我死了，會對政局造成怎樣的影響。He was hoping to build a political consensus behind launching an all-out attack on the Taliban.
他希望各方能夠在政治上達成共識，支持他發動對塔利班的全面攻擊。But also those close to him say he is a compassionate man.
他身邊的人也說他是個富有同情心的人。His own father was just an ordinary soldier and died young, leaving him as the eldest son of eight to support his entire family.
基亞尼將軍的父親只是個普通士兵，很年輕時就過世了。他是家裏的長子，當時只有八歲，便承擔起撫養整個家庭的責任。When he became army chief the first thing General Kayani did was improve housing, food rations and education for ordinary soldiers rather than officers.
基亞尼將軍成爲陸軍統帥後做的第一件事，就是改善普通士兵而非軍官的居住條件、食物配給問題和受教育狀況。Dr Fiona said it was likely I would have a speech impediment and a weak right arm and right leg, so I would need extensive rehabilitation facilities, which Pakistan didn't have.
菲奧娜醫生說我很有可能會出現語言障礙和右臂右腿無力的狀況，所以我需要一套完整的康復設備，但這是巴基斯坦所沒有的。'If you're serious about getting the best outcome possible, take her overseas,' she advised.
“如果你是認真地希望能有最好的結果，就把她送出國吧。”她提出建議。General Kayani was adamant that the Americans should not be involved because of the ongoing bad relations between the two countries after the Raymond Davis episode and the bin Laden raid as well as the killing of some Pakistani soldiers at a border post by a US helicopter.
鑑於美巴兩國間的關係在雷蒙德·戴維斯事件、本·拉登刺殺事件和美軍直升機在國境邊緣造成數名巴基斯坦士兵死亡事件之後不斷惡化，基亞尼將軍堅持這件事最好不要讓美國插手。Dr Javid suggested Great Ormond Street in London, and specialist hospitals in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
賈維德醫生提議把我送到倫敦的大歐蒙特街醫院，或是愛丁堡和格拉斯哥的專門醫院。'Why not your own hospital?' General Kayani asked.
“爲什麼不送到你們服務的醫院呢？”基亞尼將軍問道。
