雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第13章:古爾瑪凱的日記(6)
But some of my friends recognised incidents in it.
And I almost gave the game away in one entry when I said, 'My mother liked my pen name Gul Makai and joked to my father we should change my name...
有一次，我在日記中幾乎是坦白了。在一篇文章中我提道：“母親喜歡我的筆名古爾·瑪凱，她向父親開玩笑說我應該把它改成本名……I also like the name because my real name means "grief-stricken".
我也喜歡這個名字，因爲我真正的名字的意思是‘悲痛欲絕’。
