雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第22章:踏上未知的旅程(5)
Any time my parents wanted to take the short walk from the hostel to the hospital they first had to be cleared via walkie-talkie, which took at least half an hour.
They were even guarded as they crossed the hostel lawn to the dining hall.
甚至在他們穿越宿舍草坪去餐廳用餐時，也有警衛跟在身邊。No visitors could get in – even when the Prime Minister came to see me he was not allowed inside.
所有訪客一律禁止進入，連總理想來看我都被拒絕。
The security seemed astonishing, but over the last three years the Taliban had managed to infiltrate and attack even the most highly guarded military installations – the naval base at Mehran, the air force base in Kamra and the army headquarters just down the road.
這裏的安全措施似乎無懈可擊，但是在過去三年裏，塔利班曾成功滲入並攻擊受到最高層級保衛的軍事機構：邁赫蘭海軍基地、卡馬拉空軍基地，還有同在這條路上的陸軍總部。We were all at risk from a Taliban attack.
我們都有被塔利班攻擊的危險。My father was told that even my brothers would not be spared.
有人告訴父親，我的兩個弟弟也不能倖免於難。He was very concerned because at that time Khushal was still in Mingora, although later he was brought down to Rawalpindi to join them.
父親很擔心。後來，胡沙爾被帶到拉瓦爾品第和他們會合。There were no computers or Internet in the hostel but a friendly cook, Yaseem Mama, used to bring my family the newspapers and whatever they needed.
宿舍沒有計算機或網絡，只有一位很親切的廚師——亞欣·馬瑪，他幫我父母帶來報紙或其他所需用品。Yaseem told them he felt proud to prepare my family's food.
亞欣告訴父母，能爲我的家人準備膳食讓他感到很榮幸。They were so touched by his kindness that they shared our story with him.
我的家人對此很感動，向他說了不少我們的故事。He wanted to nourish them with food and ease their suffering.
亞欣希望用美食減輕我的家人承受的痛苦。They had no appetite so he would try to tempt them with ever more delicious dishes, custards and sweets.
因爲大家都沒有胃口，亞欣便努力烹製各種美味至極的餐點、蛋糕和甜點來吸引他們。One mealtime Khushal said that the dining table felt empty with only the four of them.
一天吃飯的時候，胡沙爾說餐桌上只有四個人，感覺空落落的。They felt incomplete without me.
少了我，讓他們覺得這個家不再完整。
