I did an interview with a radio station called Power 99.

雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第15章:離開河谷(12)
我接受了一個名爲“力量99”的電臺的訪問。

They liked it very much and told us they had a guesthouse in Abbottabad where we could all go.

他們很喜歡那集的內容,同時告訴我們,他們在阿巴塔巴德有一間招待所,我們一家人如果願意的話,可以過去住。

We stayed there for a week and to my joy I heard Moniba was also in Abbottabad, as was one of our teachers and another friend.

我們在那裏住了一個星期。令我很開心的是,我聽說莫妮巴也在阿巴塔巴德,還有我們的另一位老師和朋友也在這兒。

Moniba and I had not spoken since our fight on the last day before becoming IDPs.

我和莫妮巴從最後一天上學吵架了之後就沒有說過話。

We arranged to meet in a park, and I brought her Pepsi and biscuits.

我們約好在公園相見,我帶了百事可樂和餅乾給她。

'It was all your fault,' she told me. I agreed. I didn't mind; I just wanted to be friends.

“那都是你的錯。”她告訴我。我同意她的說法。而且我一點都不介意,我只是還想和她是朋友。

Our week at the guesthouse soon ended and we went to Haripur, where one of my aunts lived.

在招待所的一週很快就結束了,我們轉往赫里布爾,我有一個姑姑住在那裏。

It was our fourth city in two months.

這是我們兩個月以來換的第四座城市。

I knew we were better off than those who lived in the camps, queuing for food and water for hours under the hot sun, but I missed my valley.

我知道,跟那些住在難民營的人比起來,我們的生活要好得多。爲了領取食物和飲用水,他們得在大太陽底下排隊等待好幾個小時。但是,我想念我的河谷。

It was there I spent my twelfth birthday. Nobody remembered. Even my father forgot, he was so busy hopping about.

在赫里布爾我度過了12歲的生日。沒有人記得,就連我的父親都忘了,他成天忙着東奔西跑。

I was upset and recalled how different my eleventh birthday had been.

我很難過,回想起11歲生日慶祝會的情景:

I had shared a cake with my friends.

我和朋友們共享一個蛋糕,

There were balloons and I had made the same wish I was making on my twelfth birthday, but this time there was no cake and there were no candles to blow out.

生日會上還有氣球,我許下了一個和我11歲生日一樣的願望。但這次既沒有蛋糕,也沒有蠟燭等着我吹熄。

Once again I wished for peace in our valley.

又一次,我希望和平能夠降臨到我們的河谷。
