雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第9章:電臺毛拉(13)

In the first year of the Taliban I had two operations, one to take out my appendix and the other to remove my tonsils.

在塔利班出現後的頭一年裏，我動了兩次手術：一次是切除盲腸，另一次是切除扁桃腺。

Khushal had his appendix out too.

胡沙爾也動過盲腸切除手術。

It was my mother who took us to hospital; my father just visited us and brought ice cream.

當時都是母親帶我們去醫院，父親只是帶着冰激凌來探望我們。

Yet my mother still believed it was written in the Quran that women should not go out and women should not talk to men other than relatives they cannot marry.

然而，母親依舊相信《古蘭經》中提及的女性不應該離開家門；而除了那些她們不可能與之婚配的親戚以外，女性也不應該跟男性說話。

My father would say to her, ‘Pekai, purdah is not only in the veil, purdah is in the heart.’

父親會這麼跟她說：託.貝凱，婦德不是隻體現在戴面紗等外在行爲上，婦德是存在心裏的。

Lots of women were so moved by what Fazlullah said that they gave him gold and money, particularly in poor villages or households where the husbands were working abroad.

許多女性被法茲魯拉的言論打動，特別是那些身處貧鄉窮里或丈夫出遠門工作的婦女，她們把自己的金飾、金錢全都奉獻給他。

Tables were set up for the women to hand over their wedding bangles and necklaces and women queued up to do so or sent their sons.

大桌上，女性一排排依序將手鐲、項鍊等嫁妝呈上，有的甚至貢獻出她們的兒子加入他的麾下。

Some gave their life savings, believing that this would make God happy.

有些人把一生的積蓄都奉獻給他，相信這麼做能取悅真主。
