雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第17章:祈禱再長高些(4)
Since musharraf had allowed satellite television, we now had lots of channels.
Suddenly we could witness these events on television.
突然間，我們就可以在電視上目睹這些事件的始末。There was outrage round the world and all the talk shows covered the case.
這起事件遭到世界範圍內的強烈抗議，所有的談話節目都在討論該事件。
One of the few people who spoke out for Asia Bibi in Pakistan was the governor of Punjab, Salman Taseer.
旁遮普省的省督薩爾曼·塔希爾站在愛莎·比比一邊。He himself had been a political prisoner as well as a close ally of Benazir.
他曾是一名政治囚犯，也是貝·布托的盟友，Later on he became a wealthy media mogul.
後來成了很有錢的媒體大亨。He went to visit Asia Bibi in jail and said that President Zardari should pardon her.
他到監獄裏探望愛莎·比比，並表示他認爲扎爾達里總統應該赦免她。He called the Blasphemy Law a 'black law', a phrase which was repeated by some of our TV anchors to stir things up.
他說《瀆神法》是“黑暗之法”，而他的這個說法則被某些想要炒作新聞的主播反覆強調。Then some imams at Friday prayers in the largest mosque in Rawalpindi condemned the governor.
因此，拉瓦爾品第較大的幾座清真寺裏的教長，紛紛在週五祈禱會上譴責這位省督。A couple of days later, on 4 January 2011, Salman Taseer was gunned down by one of his own bodyguards after lunch in an area of fashionable coffee bars in Islamabad. The man shot him twenty-six times.
幾天後，2011年1月4日，薩爾曼·塔希爾在伊斯蘭堡吃過午餐後，被自己的保鏢開槍打死。兇手共朝他開了26槍。He later said that he had done it for God after hearing the Friday prayers in Rawalpindi.
兇手後來說，他是在聽了拉瓦爾品第週五祈禱會的講道後，決定要替神完成這件事。We were shocked by how many people praised the killer.
有那麼多民衆讚許這個兇手的行爲，對此我們實在難以置信。When he appeared in court even lawyers showered him with rose petals.
甚至當兇手出庭時，律師還往他身上撒玫瑰花瓣。Meanwhile the imam at the late governor's mosque refused to perform his funeral prayers and the president did not attend his funeral.
與此同時，這位過世的省督所屬的清真寺教長，則拒絕在他的喪禮上祝禱，總統也沒有去參加儀式。Our country was going crazy. How was it possible that we were now garlanding murderers?
我們的國家瘋了。居然開始讚譽殺人兇手了嗎？Shortly after that my father got another death threat.
在那之後不久，我父親又收到一則死亡威脅。
