It was thrilling to see my words on the website.
看着自己的文字出现在网站上,我非常兴奋。
I was a bit shy to start with but after a while I got to know the kind of things Hai Kakar wanted me to talk about and became more confident.
一开始我有点害羞,但过了一段时间之后,我开始明白海·卡卡尔希望从我这里了解到些什么,因此我变得比较自信。
He liked personal feelings and what he called my 'pungent sentences' and also the mix of everyday family life with the terror of the Taliban.
他希望日记呈现的是我个人的感受,用他所谓“辛辣的字句”来描述,将塔利班的恐怖统治与我的日常生活联系在一起。
I wrote a lot about school as that was at the centre of our lives.
我写了很多与学校有关的事情,因为那是我们生活的重心。
I loved my royal-blue school uniform but we were advised to wear plain clothes instead and hide our books under our shawls.
我喜欢我的宝蓝色学生制服,但校方建议我们改穿一般的服装上学,同时建议我们将书本藏在披巾底下。
One extract was called DO NOT WEAR COLOURFUL CLOTHES.
有一篇名为“不要穿彩色服装”的日记中,
In it I wrote, 'I was getting ready for school one day and was about to put on my uniform when I remembered the advice of our principal, so that day I decided to wear my favourite pink dress.'
我写道:“一天,上学时间到了,我正要套上制服,忽然想起校长的叮咛。于是,我决定穿上我最喜欢的粉红色连衣裙去上课。”
I also wrote about the burqa.
我也写到罩袍。
When you're very young, you love the burqa because it's great for dressing up.
当你年幼时,会喜欢罩袍,因为它穿起来很好看。
But when you are made to wear it, that's a different matter.
但是,如果你是被迫穿上罩袍,情况就截然不同了。
Also it makes walking difficult!
而且,穿上它令人行走困难!
