我們這些孩子們也很沮喪。

Normally there are new film releases for the holidays, but Fazlullah had closed the DVD shops.

正常狀況下,節日意味着會有新電影看,但法茲魯拉關閉了所有的DVD店鋪。

Around this time my mother also got tired of Fazlullah, especially when he began to preach against education and insist that those who went to school would also go to hell.

差不多就在這時,母親也逐漸對法茲魯拉感到厭煩,特別是當他開始宣揚反教育的思想,並堅稱上學的人都會下地獄以後。

Next Fazlullah began holding a shura, a kind of local court.

法茲魯拉的下一步是成立舒拉,一種地方性的法庭。

People liked this as justice was speedy, unlike in Pakistani courts, where you could wait years and have to pay bribes to be heard.

舒拉立即受到民衆的歡迎。因爲在這裏,正義得以迅速聲張。

People began going to Fazlullah and his men to resolve grievances about anything from business matters to personal feuds.

人們開始向法茲魯拉和他的手下們求助,幫助化解各種紛爭,無論是商業糾紛還是個人恩怨。

‘I had a thirty-year-old problem and it’s been resolved in one go,’ one man told my father.

我有個三十年的老問題,一下子就解決了。有個男人這樣跟我父親說。

The punishments decreed by Fazlullah’s shura included public whippings, which we had never seen before.

法茲魯拉的舒拉所宣判的刑罰包括公開的鞭刑,在此之前,我們從來沒有聽過這種處罰方式。
