Jeremy Gilley: One day of peace

譯者: Meg Lee 審譯者: Wang-Ju Tsai

I was basically concerned about what was going on in the world.

我基本上是關心在這世界上的一舉一動的。

I couldn't understand

我無法理解

the starvation, the destruction,

饑荒與破壞

the killing of innocent people.

還有無辜民眾的喪生。

Making sense of those things

要理解這些事情，

is a very difficult thing to do.

是非常困難的。

And when I was 12, I became an actor.

當我12歲時，我就很會演戲。

I was bottom of the class. I haven't got any qualifications.

老是在班上最後一名的我，任何考試都不及格。

I was told I was dyslexic.

我被告知自己有閱讀障礙。

In fact, I have got qualifications.

事實上，我有課程是過關的。

I got a D in pottery, which was the one thing that I did get --

我捏陶課的成績拿了D，這是我唯一通過的一門課

which was useful, obviously.

這顯然非常實用。

And so concern

所以這個焦慮關注的習慣

is where all of this comes from.

是由此而來。

And then, being an actor, I was doing these different kinds of things,

爾後，身為演員，我作了許多很不一樣的事情。

and I felt the content of the work that I was involved in

我感覺自己參與的這些工作內容

really wasn't cutting it, that there surely had to be more.

實在不足，顯然還有更多是我可以做的。

And at that point, I read a book by Frank Barnaby,

在此時，我讀了Frank Barnaby所寫的書，

this wonderful nuclear physicist,

這位傑出的核子物理學家，

and he said that media had a responsibility,

他認為，媒體必須要擔負起

that all sectors of society had a responsibility

或說社會上的所有人都必須擔負起

to try and progress things and move things forward.

讓這個世界更加進步美好的責任。

And that fascinated me,

而這句話點醒了我，

because I'd been messing around with a camera most of my life.

因為我的人生大部分的時間，就只是在鎂光燈堆裡消磨光陰。

And then I thought, well maybe I could do something.

之後我就想，也許我也能為這個世界做點什麼。

Maybe I could become a filmmaker.

也許我能拍電影。

Maybe I can use the form of film constructively

也許我能有建設性地使用電影這個媒介

to in some way make a difference.

在某些方面讓這個世界有些改變。

Maybe there's a little change I can get involved in.

也許這世界有甚麼小的改變，是我可以參與的。

So I started thinking about peace,

所以我開始往和平的方向想，

and I was obviously, as I said to you,

如同我告訴過你的，很顯然

very much moved by these images,

我深深被這些影像感動，

trying to make sense of that.

試圖去解釋這些事情的意義。

Could I go and speak to older and wiser people

我可以去詢問一些年長的智者嗎?

who would tell me how they made sense

請他們告訴我

of the things that are going on?

這些當下正在發生的事情到底是什麼道理?

Because it's obviously incredibly frightening.

因為這顯然是令人難以置信的可怕。

But I realized that,

但我了解到，

having been messing around with structure as an actor,

嘗試用演員的身份挑戰體制了一段時間之後，

that a series of sound bites in itself wasn't enough,

我知道一連串的提問並不足夠，

that there needed to be a mountain to climb,

這挑戰像山一樣待我去征服，

there needed to be a journey that I had to take.

有一段旅程我必須展開。

And if I took that journey,

如果我從這段旅行著手，

no matter whether it failed or succeeded, it would be completely irrelevant.

不論成功或失敗，都無關緊要。

The point was that I would have something

重點在於，我都會得到一些答案

to hook the questions of -- is humankind fundamentally evil?

可以去回答這個問題: 人類基本上是邪惡的嗎?

Is the destruction of the world inevitable? Should I have children?

世界的毀滅難道不可避免?我該不該生孩子?

Is that a responsible thing to do? Etc., etc.

這是有責任感的舉動嗎? ..等等的問題。

So I was thinking about peace,

所以我想到了和平方面的議題，

and then I was thinking, well where's the starting point for peace?

然後我開始想，和平到底是從什麼時候開始的呢?

And that was when I had the idea.

突然我靈光一閃

There was no starting point for peace.

和平根本就從沒開始過。

There was no day of global unity.

從來就沒有全球統一日。

There was no day of intercultural cooperation.

沒有任何一天是跨文化交流的。

There was no day when humanity came together,

從來沒有一天，人類全聚在一塊

separate in all of those things

擁抱分享那些

and just shared it together --

將我們從彼此分開的歧異

that we're in this together,

了解我們其實在同一條船上

and that if we united and we interculturally cooperated,

了解若我們能結合起來，做超越文化的合作，

then that might be the key to humanity's survival.

也許這就是人類生存的關鍵。

That might shift the level of consciousness

這也許可以改變我們的認知

around the fundamental issues that humanity faces --

對於這些人類所面臨的各種基本困境

if we did it just for a day.

如果我們就試那麼一天

So obviously we didn't have any money.

不過，那時我們根本沒錢。

I was living at my mom's place.

我還跟我媽一起住。

And we started writing letters to everybody.

所以我開始寫信給所有人。

You very quickly work out what is it that you've got to do

你很快就會很清楚 爲了實現這個夢想

to fathom that out.

自己該做些什麼

How do you create a day voted by every single head of state in the world

你如何創造一個由全世界各國領導人投票通過

to create the first ever Ceasefire Nonviolence Day,

史上第一個停火無暴力日

the 21st of September?

在每一年的9月21日

And I wanted it to be the 21st of September

我希望日子是9月21日，原因是

because it was my granddad's favorite number.

這是我爺爺最愛的數字。

He was a prisoner of war.

他曾經是戰俘。

He saw the bomb go off at Nagasaki.

他親眼目睹過長崎被原子彈轟炸的情景。

It poisoned his blood. He died when I was 11.

輻射汙染了他的血液，他在我11歲的時候過世。

So he was like my hero.

他就像是我的英雄。

And the reason why 21 was the number is

而選21日的理由，是因為這個數字代表了:

700 men left, 23 came back,

當時離國去從軍的有700人，只有23個回來，

two died on the boat and 21 hit the ground.

而在返回的船上有2位又不幸過世，因此只有21位回到家。

And that's why we wanted it to be the 21st of September as the date of peace.

這就是為什麼選擇9月21日的理由。

So we began this journey,

在1999年，

and we launched it in 1999.

這項計畫正式開始。

And we wrote to heads of state, their ambassadors,

我們開始寫信給各國領袖、大使、

Nobel Peace laureates, NGOs, faiths,

諾貝爾和平獎得主、非營利團體、宗教團體、

various organizations -- literally wrote to everybody.

各式各樣的組織，幾乎所有團體我們都寫信去聯繫。

And very quickly, some letters started coming back.

很快的，寄出去的信很快就有了回音。

And we started to build this case.

計畫就這樣開始了。

And I remember the first letter.

我一直記得第一封回信的內容。

One of the first letters was from the Dalai Lama.

這封信來自達賴喇嘛(Dalai Lama)。

And of course we didn't have the money; we were playing guitars

當然，我們沒有任何資金，

and getting the money for the stamps that we were sending out all of [this mail].

郵資還是靠我們路邊演奏吉他湊出來的。

A letter came through from the Dalai Lama saying,

這封來自達賴喇嘛的回信說：

"This is an amazing thing. Come and see me.

"這個概念真令人驚嘆，請來跟我見個面"

I'd love to talk to you about the first ever day of peace."

"我想跟你們聊聊這個前所未有的世界和平日。"

And we didn't have money for the flight.

但是，我們沒有錢買機票。

And I rang Sir Bob Ayling, who was CEO of BA at the time,

我致電給當時的英國航空的執行長，Bob Ayling，

and said, "Mate, we've got this invitation.

對他說："先生，達賴喇嘛邀請我們去跟他見個面，"

Could you give me a flight? Because we're going to go see him."

"是否能贊助我們機票呢?"

And of course, we went and saw him and it was amazing.

沒錯，我們真的跟達賴喇嘛見到面了，非常難忘。

And then Dr. Oscar Arias came forward.

過不久，Oscar Arias博士也傳來消息。(1987諾貝爾和平獎得主)

And actually, let me go back to that slide,

老實說，喔，先回到上一張，

because when we launched it in 1999 --

這個計畫是在1999年開始推行的，

this idea to create the first ever day of ceasefire and non-violence --

這是第一個關於停戰與非暴力的節日，

we invited thousands of people.

我們邀請了幾千人加入。

Well not thousands -- hundreds of people, lots of people --

好吧可能沒這麼多，但至少有數百人，很多人，

all the press, because we were going to try and create

所有的媒體，因為我們準備要嘗試創造

the first ever World Peace Day, a peace day.

史上第一個世界和平日，一個真正和平的日子。

And we invited everybody,

所以我們邀請了所有的人，

and no press showed up.

但是沒有任何媒體現身。

There were 114 people there -- they were mostly my friends and family.

當時，有114人加入，當中大多是我的朋友或家人。

And that was kind of like the launch of this thing.

而那就幾乎像是我們的發表會了。

But it didn't matter because we were documenting, and that was the thing.

但是沒有關係，因為我們在記錄這個旅程，而這是關鍵，

For me, it was really about the process.

對我來說，真正重要的是過程。

It wasn't about the end result.

最後到底能不能成功根本不重要。

And that's the beautiful thing about the camera.

而這就是相機美好的地方。

They used to say the pen is mightier than the sword. I think the camera is.

人們通常說筆鋒可以比刀鋒厲，我覺得相機才是。

And just staying in the moment with it was a beautiful thing

留住那個片刻，非常美好

and really empowering actually.

其實是非常激勵人心的

So anyway, we began the journey.

總而言之，我們開始了旅程。

And here you see people like Mary Robinson, I went to see in Geneva.

在畫面中你可以看到Mary Robinson(左上，聯合國人權委員會主席)，我當時到日內瓦去拜訪他。

I'm cutting my hair, it's getting short and long,

我在剪頭髮，因為它們有長有短

because every time I saw Kofi Annan,

因為每次我見到Kofi Annan(聯合國的秘書長)，

I was so worried that he thought I was a hippie that I cut it,

我都很怕被他誤以為是嬉皮人士。

and that was kind of what was going on.

所以那時候才剪頭髮。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

Yeah, I'm not worried about it now.

是啦，我現在是不擔心了。

So Mary Robinson,

Mary Robinson對我說：

she said to me, "Listen, this is an idea whose time has come. This must be created."

"讓這個點子實現的時間到了，這個紀念日一定要建立。"

Kofi Annan said, "This will be beneficial to my troops on the ground."

Kofi Annan說："這對於我們正在沙場上的軍隊太有幫助了。"

The OAU at the time, led by Salim Ahmed Salim,

當時非洲共同組織(OAU)的領導人Salim Ahmed Salim說：

said, "I must get the African countries involved."

"我一定要讓非洲各國都響應這個日子。"

Dr. Oscar Arias, Nobel Peace laureate,

哥斯大黎加總統，

president now of Costa Rica,

前諾貝爾得獎者Oscar Arias博士表示：

said, "I'll do everything that I can."

"我將盡我的一切所能。"

So I went and saw Amr Moussa at the League of Arab States.

所以我去阿拉伯聯盟秘書長Amr Moussa碰面。

I met Mandela at the Arusha peace talks,

我在阿魯夏和平協定會議(Arusha peace)中和曼德拉見面。

and so on and so on and so on --

諸如此類的回應與會面一直持續，

while I was building the case

過程裡，我也不停的累積

to prove whether this idea

去證明這個想法

would make sense.

確實有它的道理。

And then we were listening to the people. We were documenting everywhere.

然後我們去聽人們的心聲，我們在各個世界角落記錄。

76 countries in the last 12 years, I've visited.

近12年的時光裡，我參訪了76個國家。

And I've always spoken to women and children wherever I've gone.

每到一個地方，我一定都會和當地的婦女與孩子們對話。

I've recorded 44,000 young people.

我紀錄了4萬4千個年輕人的影像。

I've recorded about 900 hours of their thoughts.

錄下了他們總共約900小時的想法。

I'm really clear about how young people feel

我很清楚年輕人對這件事的想法

when you talk to them about this idea

當你和這些年輕人闡述這個主意

of having a starting point for their actions for a more peaceful world

透過他們的詩、他們的藝術、他們的文學，

through their poetry, their art, their literature,

他們的音樂、運動或其他各種型態

their music, their sport, whatever it might be.

來起個頭，讓他們可以採取行動，使這個世界更和平。

And we were listening to everybody.

我們也聆聽了每一個人的意見。

And it was an incredibly thing, working with the U.N.

可以透過和聯合國及非營利組織來合作推動這項計畫，

and working with NGOs and building this case.

是非常不可思議的事情。

I felt that I was presenting a case

我覺得我自己好像在建立一個專案

on behalf of the global community

一個代表全世界的社群

to try and create this day.

試著創造一個和平日的專案。

And the stronger the case and the more detailed it was,

如果這個計畫的內容越詳盡

the better chance we had of creating this day.

我們就有更高的機會去真正將它實現

And it was this stuff, this,

而其實就是因為這個，這個，

where I actually was in the beginning

在我才正開始這一切的時候

kind of thinking no matter what happened, it didn't actually matter.

我開始想，不論發生了什麼事，其實都不重要了。

It didn't matter if it didn't create a day of peace.

若這樣的和平日無法創建，也無所謂。

The fact is that, if I tried and it didn't work,

至少我嘗試過了，而它沒有成功

then I could make a statement

那麼我就會做個聲明

about how unwilling the global community is to unite --

說明為什麼全球的社群不願意合作，

until, it was in Somalia, picking up that young girl.

直到有一天，我在索馬利亞遇到了一個年輕女孩。

And this young child

而這個年輕的孩子

who'd taken about an inch and a half out of her leg with no antiseptic,

在沒有麻醉的狀況下截去了一吋半的腿，

and that young boy who was a child soldier,

這個小男孩是童兵，

who told me he'd killed people -- he was about 12 --

他告訴我他殺過一些人，而他大概12歲

these things made me realize

這些孩子讓我意識到

that this was not a film that I could just stop.

這並不是什麼電影而我可以隨時喊卡。

And that actually, at that moment something happened to me,

而事實上，就在那瞬間，讓我突然開竅了，

which obviously made me go, "I'm going to document.

我意識到，我應該要把這些都拍記錄起來。

If this is the only film that I ever make,

如果這是我這輩子拍的唯一的電影

I'm going to document until this becomes a reality."

那我要一直記錄，直到它成真為止。

Because we've got to stop, we've got to do something

因為我們得做些什麼，阻止這樣的事情繼續發生。

where we unite --

我們得團結起來

separate from all the politics and religion

停止用政治和宗教將彼此區分

that, as a young person, is confusing me.

這對當時還年輕的我來說，是非常令人困惑的

I don't know how to get involved in that process.

我並不曉得該如何去參與改變這一切。

And then on the seventh of September, I was invited to New York.

直到某一天，9月7日，我受邀參加在紐約舉辦的的聯合國代表大會。

The Costa Rican government and the British government

哥斯大黎加政府代表，以及英國政府代表，

had put forward to the United Nations General Assembly,

連同54個共同提案國

with 54 co-sponsors,

向聯合國代表大會提議

the idea of the first ever Ceasefire Nonviolence Day,

第一個停火無暴力日的概念，

the 21st of September, as a fixed calendar date,

並將日子立定在9月21日，

and it was unanimously adopted by every head of state in the world.

這個日子也被各國一致通過採納。

(Applause)

(掌聲)

Yeah, but there were hundreds of individuals, obviously, who made that a reality.

當然這事情會成功，是受到了幾百個人的幫助。

And thank you to all of them.

謝謝他們。

That was an incredible moment.

那是非常美妙的一刻。

I was at the top of the General Assembly just looking down into it and seeing it happen.

我當時就坐在會場中看著美夢成真。

And as I mentioned, when it started,

就像我開始時說的，當我們開始推動這個計畫的時候，

we were at the Globe, and there was no press.

並沒有任何媒體來參加。

And now I was thinking, "Well, the press it really going to hear this story."

當時我就想："媒體現在真的會好好聽這個故事了"。

And suddenly, we started to institutionalize this day.

然後突然間，我們便開始著手規劃這和平日的成立。

Kofi Annan invited me on the morning of September the 11th

Kofi Annan邀請我

to do a press conference.

在9月11日的早成參與成立記者會。

And it was 8:00 AM when I stood there.

當天早上8點我就到達會場。

And I was waiting for him to come down, and I knew that he was on his way.

等著他到來，而我知道他就在路上。

And obviously he never came down. The statement was never made.

結果，他根本沒來到現場，這場說明會就這樣取消了。

The world was never told there was a day of global ceasefire and nonviolence.

我們沒能向全世界宣佈這個全球性的停戰無暴力日。

And it was obviously a tragic moment

而那顯然是一個非常悲劇性的瞬間

for the thousands of people who lost their lives,

對成千上萬失去他們生命的人來說，

there and then subsequently all over the world.

對當時或之後有同樣經歷的人來說。

It never happened.

這像從來沒有發生過。

And I remember thinking,

我還記得我當時在想，

"This is exactly why, actually,

這應該正是

we have to work even harder.

為什麼我應該要更努力的原因吧。"

And we have to make this day work.

我們一定得讓這個想法成功。

It's been created; nobody knows.

這個停戰無暴力日成立了，但沒有人知道。

But we have to continue this journey,

而我們的旅程還是要繼續，

and we have to tell people,

我們得告訴世人，

and we have to prove it can work."

我們得証明這個想法是確實有用的。

And I left New York freaked,

我離開紐約的時候雖然非常驚恐

but actually empowered.

卻覺得充滿力量

And I felt inspired

我覺得深受啟發

by the possibilities

對於這個夢想其實有實現的可能性

that if it did, then maybe we wouldn't see things like that.

如果它當時真的實現了，我就見不到記者會被取消這樣的情況。

I remember putting that film out and going to cynics.

我記得自己把紀錄片剪輯好，送出去接受所有的批評。

I was showing the film,

我到處播放這個影片，

and I remember being in Israel and getting it absolutely slaughtered

我記得當時人在以色列，而記錄片被幾個看過的人

by some guys having watched the film --

批評得一文不值

that it's just a day of peace, it doesn't mean anything.

他們說那不過就是一天的和平，什麼都不算。

It's not going to work; you're not going to stop the fighting in Afghanistan;

它不會真正發揮作用的，你還是不能阻止阿富汗境內的戰爭，

the Taliban won't listen, etc., etc.

塔利班政府依舊故我..等等之類的批評。

It's just symbolism.

那只是個象徵。

And that was even worse

而那樣更糟

than actually what had just happened in many ways,

比剛剛發生的事情還要更糟

because it couldn't not work.

因為它沒有辦法不發揮作用。

I'd spoken in Somalia, Burundi, Gaza, the West Bank,

我到處演講:索馬利亞、布羅迪、迦薩、約旦西河岸、

India, Sri Lanka, Congo, wherever it was,

印度、斯里蘭卡、剛果，不管在哪裡

and they'd all tell me, "If you can create a window of opportunity,

他們都告訴我，你如果可以創造一個機會窗口。

we can move aid, we can vaccinate children.

我們可以把醫藥物資送進去，我們可以幫孩子們打疫苗。

Children can lead their projects.

孩子們可以帶領這個計畫。

They can unite. They can come together. If people would stop, lives will be saved."

他們可以團結，它們可以聚集起來，如果可以讓人們停下來，生命會因而獲就。

That's what I'd heard.

這是我聽到的事

And I'd heard that from the people who really understood what conflict was about.

這些，是我從那些真正了解衝突的人們身上聽到的事。

And so I went back to the United Nations.

所以我又重返聯合國。

I decided that I'd continue filming and make another movie.

我決定要繼續拍攝，做另外一個影片。

And I went back to the U.N. for another couple of years.

我又回到聯合國了好幾年。

We started moving around the corridors of the U.N. system,

我們開始在聯合國體系的走廊上活動，

governments and NGOs,

各個政府和非營利組織，

trying desperately to find somebody

非常拼命地想要找到人

to come forward and have a go at it,

願意挺身而出，和我們一起試試看，

see if we could make it possible.

看我們能不能讓它成真。

And after lots and lots of meetings obviously,

而經過了很多很多個會議，

I'm delighted that this man, Ahmad Fawzi,

我們非常高興這位先生, Ahmad Fawzi,

one of my heroes and mentors really,

老實說是我們的英雄和導師之一，

he managed to get UNICEF involved.

他成功地說服了聯合國兒童基金會。

And UNICEF, God bless them, they said, "Okay, we'll have a go."

而聯合國兒童基金會，上帝保佑他們，說，"好吧，讓我們試一試"

And then UNAMA became involved in Afghanistan.

接著，聯合國阿富汗援助團，開始在阿富汗參與這個計畫

It was historical. Could it work in Afghanistan

這是非常歷史性的一刻，

with UNAMA and WHO

協同聯合國阿富汗援助團以及世界衛生組織

and civil society, etc., etc., etc.?

還有很多民間團體等等，在阿富汗能成功嗎?

And I was getting it all on film and I was recording it,

我當時把這整個過程都錄了下來，

and I was thinking, "This is it. This is the possibility of it maybe working.

而我在想，"這就是了，這是這個計畫可以成功的機會，

But even if it doesn't, at least the door is open

但是如果不成功，至少我們起了個頭，

and there's a chance."

這樣就有機會。"

And so I went back to London,

所以我回到倫敦，

and I went and saw this chap, Jude Law.

我去見了這個傢伙，裘德洛。

And I saw him because he was an actor, I was an actor,

我去見他因為他是個演員，而我也是。

I had a connection to him,

我和他有了聯繫，

because we needed to get to the press, we needed this attraction,

因為我們需要上新聞，我們需要得到關注，

we needed the media to be involved.

我們需要媒體的參與。

Because if we start pumping it up a bit maybe more people would listen

因為如果我們開始給這個計畫加些料，也許更多人會願意傾聽

and there'd be more --

然後我們會得到更多--

when we got into certain areas,

當我們觸及某些區域，

maybe there would be more people interested.

也許我們會引起更多人的興趣。

And maybe we'd be helped financially a little bit more,

也許我們會得到更多資助，

which had been desperately difficult.

因為在財務上面，我們始終非常困難。

I won't go into that.

我不會在這方面著墨太多。

So Jude said, "Okay, I'll do some statements for you."

所以裘德洛說:"好啊，我替你發些聲明稿。"

While I was filming these statements, he said to me, "Where are you going next?"

當我在拍攝這些聲明的時候，他問我:"你接著的計畫是什麼?"

I said, "I'm going to go to Afghanistan." He said, "Really?"

我說:"我要去阿富汗。"他說:"真的嗎?"

And I could sort of see a little look in his eye of interest.

我可以看到他眼中透出的一些興趣。

So I said to him, "Do you want to come with me?

所以我對他說:"你要和我一起去嗎?

It'd be really interesting if you came.

如果你來，那應該會非常有趣。

It would help and bring attention.

會幫我們帶來更大的關注。

And that attention

而那些關注

would help leverage the situation,

會幫助我們改善現況，

as well as all of the other sides of it."

還有其他所有面向。"

I think there's a number of pillars to success.

我想得以成功總是要有一些條件。

One is you've got to have a great idea.

第一是你必須要有一個很棒的點子。

The other is you've got to have a constituency, you've got to have finance,

第二是你得有你的支持者，你得有資金，

and you've got to be able to raise awareness.

而且你要有辦法提高可見度。

And actually I could never raise awareness by myself, no matter what I'd achieved.

而實際上，我一個人不管怎麽做都沒有辦法提高這件事情的可見度。

So these guys were absolutely crucial.

所以可以有這些人加入，是非常關鍵的事。

So he said yes,

然後他說好，

and we found ourselves in Afghanistan.

我們就這麼去了阿富汗。

It was a really incredible thing that when we landed there,

當我們抵達那裡的時候是非常不可思議的，

I was talking to various people, and they were saying to me,

我和一群人交談，而他們對我說，

"You've got to get everybody involved here.

你得想辦法讓所有人都參與。

You can't just expect it to work. You have to get out and work."

你不能指望它會自己發生。你得走進田野，實際參與。"

And we did, and we traveled around,

所以我們就這麼做了，我們到處旅行，

and we spoke to elders, we spoke to doctors, we spoke to nurses,

我們和長者對話，和醫生對話，和護士對話，

we held press conferences, we went out with soldiers,

我們舉辦了記者會，我們和軍人一起出去，

we sat down with ISAF, we sat down with NATO,

我們和國際安全援助部隊坐下來對談，我們和北約坐下來談，

we sat down with the U.K. government.

我們也和英國政府談。

I mean, we basically sat down with everybody --

我的意思是，基本上我們和所有人對談，

in and out of schools with ministers of education,

和教育部長一起拜訪學校和校外生活，

holding these press conferences,

舉辦數次記者會，

which of course, now were loaded with press, everybody was there.

而當然，現在我們佔滿了媒體，大家都在那裡。

There was an interest in what was going on.

對正在發生的事情，大家都保持著興趣。

This amazing woman, Fatima Gailani, was absolutely instrumental in what went on

而這個很不可思議的女人，Fatima Magalani 對我們助益斐然

as she was the spokesperson for the resistance against the Russians.

因為她當時是對抗俄國的組織發言人。

And her Afghan network

她在阿富汗的人際網路

was just absolutely everywhere.

絕對遍佈每個角落。

And she was really crucial in getting the message in.

對於將訊息傳遞進去，她扮演著非常重要的角色

And then we went home. We'd sort of done it.

然後我們就回家了，我們算是達成了使命。

We had to wait now and see what happened.

我們現在得等著看什麼會發生

And I got home,

當我到家的時候，

and I remember one of the team bringing in a letter to me

我還記得一個團隊從塔利班那裡

from the Taliban.

帶了一封信給我

And that letter basically said, "We'll observe this day.
