雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第14章:一種有趣的和平(4)
Swat would be Swat just with a different justice system.
I wanted to believe this but I was worried.
我很想相信這樣的話，但我仍然心存疑慮。I thought, Surely how the system works depends on the people overseeing it? The Taliban.
我認爲，制度如何起作用，與實施它的人有莫大的關係。而實施者，是塔利班。
And it was hard to believe it was all over!
我很難相信這一切就這樣結束了！More than a thousand ordinary people and police had been killed. Women had been kept in purdah, schools and bridges had been blown up, businesses had closed.
1000多名平民和警察被殺害，女性被“婦德”兩字捆綁，學校與橋樑被炸燬，許多公司終止經營。We had suffered barbaric public courts and violent justice and had lived in a constant state of fear.
我們承受過野蠻的羣衆法庭和充滿暴力的司法制度，永遠活在恐懼中。And now it was all to stop.
現在，這一切都將畫上句號。At breakfast I suggested to my brothers that we should talk of peace now and not of war.
吃早餐時，我向弟弟們建議，從此，我們應該只談與和平有關的事情，不要再去談論戰爭了。As ever, they ignored me and carried on with their war games.
一如往常，他們無視我的意見，繼續玩起他們的打仗遊戲。Khushal had a toy helicopter and Atal a pistol made of paper, and one would shout, 'Fire!' and the other, 'Take position.'
胡沙爾有一架玩具直升機，阿塔爾有一把紙做的手槍。他們一個大喊：“發射！”另一個則迴應道：“就位。”I didn't care. I went and looked at my uniform, happy that I would soon be able to wear it openly.
我懶得理他們，拿出自己的制服，很開心馬上就能再次正大光明地穿上它了。A message came from our headmistress that exams would take place in the first week of March.
我們的女校長通知我們，3月份的第一個星期會有考試。It was time to get back to my books.
馬上就要看見你們了，我的課本們！Our excitement did not last long.
然而，好景不長。Just two days later I was on the roof of the Taj Mahal Hotel giving an interview about the peace deal to a well-known reporter called Hamid Mir when we got the news that another TV reporter we knew had been killed.
短短兩天之後，我正在泰姬瑪哈旅館的頂樓接受採訪（訪問我的是一位有名的記者哈米德·米爾，訪談主題與和平協定有關），消息傳來，一名我們都認識的電視記者慕沙·汗·凱爾被殺害。
