Pakistan's Malala: Global symbol, but still just a kid

每日一看part 2---

今天把昨天剩下的部分看完吧！14歲的我沒她堅強......看完連結的interview後，真希望這位勇敢的女孩能活下來。
(雖然瑪拉拉的英文帶有腔調，但應該不難懂...需要interview翻譯再跟我說喔)

"The Taliban have repeatedly targeted schools in Swat," she wrote in an extraordinary blog when she was empowered to share her voice with the world by the BBC.

瑪拉拉在她獨樹一幟的部落格上寫道：「塔里班份子不斷攻擊斯瓦特的學校」。這個部落格，是英國廣播公司特別為瑪拉拉開的，好讓她對世人發聲。

She was writing around the time the Taliban issued a formal edict in January 2009 banning all girls from schools. On the blog, she praised her father, who was operating one of the few schools that would go on to defy that order.

就在2009年塔里班份子正式宣佈「禁止所有女孩接受教育」時，瑪拉拉開始寫部落格。雖然那時能持續運作的學校很少，但瑪拉拉的父親辦到了，而且以此來抵抗塔里班無理的要求。在部落格上，瑪拉拉大力讚揚她的父親。

"My father said that some days ago someone brought the printout of this diary saying how wonderful it was," Malala wrote. "My father said that he smiled, but could not even say that it was written by his daughter."

「父親告訴我，幾天前有人印了我寫的部落格，然後拿著它到這裡，說寫得真好。」瑪拉拉這麼寫著。「父親說他笑了笑，卻不能回答這是他女兒寫的。」

Now that active and imaginative mind could be gone.

現在，這靈敏活躍的心靈，搞不好會消失。

On Tuesday, October 9, gunmen shot Malala in the head and neck.

十月九日星期二，持槍的塔里班份子擊中了瑪拉拉的頭部和頸部。

Now 14, she was coming home from school in a van with other schoolchildren when Taliban assassins stopped the vehicle, climbed on and demanded that the children identify her. Terrified, the children did it and the men fired, also wounding two other girls.

14歲的瑪拉拉前幾天放學時，與其他學生撘坐一輛箱型車，但途中遭塔里班持槍份子攔截。他們上車、命令其他受驚的學生指認瑪拉拉，然後開槍射擊。其中，有兩名女孩也受到波及。

"We do not tolerate people like Malala speaking against us," a Taliban spokesman later said, as Malala, in a Pakistani hospital, breathed with the help of a ventilator.

塔里班一名發言人說：「我們決不容許像瑪拉拉這樣的人反對我們。」而那時，瑪拉拉被送往巴基斯坦一家醫院，正靠著呼吸器維持生命。

The Taliban would come for her again if she managed to survive, the spokesman threatened.

塔里班發言人繼續威脅地說，如果瑪拉拉僥倖活了下來，他們還會再來。

As of Monday night, she was in Great Britain receiving top medical care from an international team of doctors.

但就在這週星期一晚上，瑪拉拉轉送到了英國。來自各國頂尖的醫生團隊，負責照護、治療瑪拉拉。
