从她流出体外的肠子便可以推断出

And when we took her to the hospital

My own journey to work with these children

我的这一工作的起源是

started as a teenager.

在我还是小孩的时候

I was 15 when I was gang-raped by eight men.

我十五岁，那一年我被八个男人强奸了

I don't remember the rape part of it so much

我对于强奸记得不是很清晰

as much as the anger part of it.

但对于那件事带给我的愤怒倒是记忆犹新

Yes, there were eight men who defiled me, raped me,

不错，八个男人强暴了我

but that didn't go into my consciousness.

但那不会进入我的意识里

I never felt like a victim, then or now.

我从没有一种受害者的感觉，那时候没有，现在也没有

But what lingered from then till now -- I am 40 today --

但从那时一直到现在有一种情绪萦绕我的心头——我今年40岁

is this huge outrageous anger.

那就是一种强烈的愤怒

Two years, I was ostracized, I was stigmatized, I was isolated,

有两年时间，我被周遭唾弃，我被诋毁名声，被隔离

because I was a victim.

in victimizing a victim.

加害受害者的“专家”

Right from the age of 15,

从15岁那一年开始

when I started looking around me,
