Nobody consulted my mother and father on what should happen to me. All decisions were made by the army.
没有人跟我父母讨论关于我的事情,一切都是由军方决定。
General Kayani asked Dr Javid whether I should be sent abroad or not.
基亚尼将军问贾维德医生该不该送我出国接受治疗。
The army chief was spending a surprising amount of his time on the issue – Dr Javid says they spent six hours discussing me!
贾维德医生说他们居然讨论了六个小时!
Perhaps more than any politician he understood the political implications if I did not survive.
也许基亚尼将军比其他政治人物都更明白,如果我死了,会对政局造成怎样的影响。
He was hoping to build a political consensus behind launching an all-out attack on the Taliban.
他希望各方能够在政治上达成共识,支持他发动对塔利班的全面攻击。
But also those close to him say he is a compassionate man.
他身边的人也说他是个富有同情心的人。
His own father was just an ordinary soldier and died young, leaving him as the eldest son of eight to support his entire family.
基亚尼将军的父亲只是个普通士兵,很年轻时就过世了。他是家里的长子,当时只有八岁,便承担起抚养整个家庭的责任。
When he became army chief the first thing General Kayani did was improve housing, food rations and education for ordinary soldiers rather than officers.
基亚尼将军成为陆军统帅后做的第一件事,就是改善普通士兵而非军官的居住条件、食物配给问题和受教育状况。
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.
菲奥娜医生说我很有可能会出现语言障碍和右臂右腿无力的状况,所以我需要一套完整的康复设备,但这是巴基斯坦所没有的。
'If you're serious about getting the best outcome possible, take her overseas,' she advised.
“如果你是认真地希望能有最好的结果,就把她送出国吧。”她提出建议。
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.
鉴于美巴两国间的关系在雷蒙德·戴维斯事件、本·拉登刺杀事件和美军直升机在国境边缘造成数名巴基斯坦士兵死亡事件之后不断恶化,基亚尼将军坚持这件事最好不要让美国插手。
Dr Javid suggested Great Ormond Street in London, and specialist hospitals in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
贾维德医生提议把我送到伦敦的大欧蒙特街医院,或是爱丁堡和格拉斯哥的专门医院。
'Why not your own hospital?' General Kayani asked.
“为什么不送到你们服务的医院呢?”基亚尼将军问道。
