雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第9章:電臺毛拉(7)
One day my father went to visit a friend in hospital and found lots of patients listening to cassettes of Fazlullah’s sermons.
有一天，父親去醫院探視一位朋友，發現許多病患都在聽法茲魯拉布道的錄音帶。
‘You must meet Maulana Fazlullah,’ people told him.‘He’s a great scholar’.
你一定要認識毛拉.法茲魯拉，人們告訴他，他是一名偉大的學者。
‘He’s actually a high-school dropout whose real name isn’t even Fazlullah,’ my father retorted, but they wouldn’t listen.
事實上他高中輟學，而且他的本名也不是法茲魯拉。父親反駁這些人，但他們充耳不聞。
My father became depressed because people had begun to embrace Fazlullah’s words and his religious romanticism.
隨着人們開始擁護法茲魯拉的言談和他的宗教熱情，父親變得鬱鬱寡歡。
‘It’s ridiculous,’ my father would say, ‘that this so-called scholar is spreading ignorance.’
這太荒謬了！父親會這麼說，這名大家口中的學者實際上在散播無知。
Fazlullah was particularly popular in remote areas where people remembered how TNSM volunteers had helped during the earthquake when the government was nowhere to be seen.
法茲魯拉在偏遠地區特別受歡迎。
On some mosques they set up speakers connected to radios so his broadcasts could be heard by everyone in the village and in the fields.
那裏的人們都記得TNSM在地震發生後所提供的協助，而當時，政府連個影子都沒有出現。
