雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第14章:一種有趣的和平(12)
My father was again busy speaking at seminars on our troubles with the Taliban.
At one the information minister for our province said Talibanisation was the result of our country's policy of training militants and sending them to Afghanistan, first to fight the Russians, then to fight the Americans.
一次會議上，我們省的新聞部長說，塔利班化是國家政策帶來的結果：我們訓練出這些武裝分子，把他們送往阿富汗，起初對抗蘇聯人，接着對抗美國人。'If we had not put guns in the hands of madrasa students at the behest of foreign powers we would not be facing this bloodbath in the tribal areas and Swat,' he said.
“如果最初我們沒有在外國勢力的支持下，把槍支放進這些伊斯蘭學生的手中，我們現在就不用面對這場發生在部落區與斯瓦特的大屠殺了。”他說。
It soon became clear that the Americans had been right in their assessment of the deal.
很快地，情況逐漸明朗，美國人一開始對這份協議的看法是正確的。The Taliban believed the Pakistani government had given in and they could do what they liked.
塔利班認爲巴基斯坦政府已經投降，因此他們可以爲所欲爲。They streamed into Buner, the next district to the south-east of Swat and only sixty-five miles from Islamabad.
他們涌入布納（位於斯瓦特東南方的一個地區，距離伊斯蘭堡不過100多公里。）。People in Buner had always resisted the Taliban but they were ordered by the local authorities not to fight.
布納的居民一向排斥塔利班，但地方當局命令他們不得反抗。As the militants arrived with their RPGs and guns, the police abandoned their posts, saying the Taliban had 'superior weapons', and people fled.
當武裝分子持火箭炮和槍支抵達時，警察棄守崗位，宣稱塔利班擁有“精良的武器”，人民也跟着逃離。The Taliban set up shariat courts in all districts and broadcast sermons from mosques calling on the local youth to join them.
塔利班在所有地區都設置了遵循伊斯蘭教義的法庭，並通過清真寺的佈道呼籲當地年輕人加入他們的行列。Just as they had in Swat, they burned TV sets, pictures, DVDs and tapes.
就像他們在斯瓦特的所爲一樣，他們焚燒電視、繪畫、DVD和錄像帶。They even took control of the famous shrine of a Sufi saint, Pir Baba, which was a pilgrimage site.
他們甚至控制了一個蘇菲派的聖人的聖殿——皮爾·巴巴，這是一個朝覲的地點。People would visit to pray for spiritual guidance, cures for their ailments and even happy marriages for their children.
人們造訪此地，祈求心靈上的引導、治療病痛，或者祈禱子女婚姻的幸福。
