Prologue Ira Glass I don't know if you've seen this guy Hamid Karzai, the President of Afghanistan, on TV, heard him on the radio, but that is one charming man.
序言 艾拉·格拉斯 我不知道你是否在电视上见过阿富汗总统哈米德·卡尔扎伊,在广播中听到过他,但他是一个很有魅力的人。
A year ago this week, in January 2002-- not long after the Taliban were driven from power in Afghanistan-- he came to the United States, partly to be on hand for the State of the Union address last year.
一年前的这个星期,也就是 2002 年 1 月,塔利班在阿富汗被赶下台后不久,他来到美国,部分原因是为了出席去年的国情咨文演讲。
And while he was here, he spoke with an audience that was mostly Afghan-Americans at Georgetown University.
当他在这里时,他向乔治城大学的听众发表了讲话,其中大部分是阿富汗裔美国人。
And he said to them, in Pashto and then in English, come back.
他用普什图语然后用英语对他们说,回来吧。
Come back to Afghanistan.
回到阿富汗吧。
He directed this especially to the young people.
他特别针对年轻人提出了这一点。
Work hard.
努力工作。
Learn well.
好好学习。
Study well, and make money.
好好学习,好好赚钱。
Bring it to Afghanistan.
把它带到阿富汗。
He grinned at the audience.
他对观众微笑。
Then read from this card that had been handed to him with a question on it.
然后读一下递给他的这张卡片,上面有一个问题。
OK, specifically, how would you suggest the younger generation of Afghans living in US-- OK.
好的,具体来说,您对生活在美国的年轻一代阿富汗人有什么建议——好的。
Specifically, your areas in which you have studied.
具体来说,就是你所学习的领域。
Those of you who have gone through university and have acquired degrees in various fields-- medicine, engineering, computers, management, banking, business administration, all that.
你们中那些读过大学并获得各个领域学位的人——医学、工程、计算机、管理、银行、工商管理等等。
These are the areas-- statistics, by the way.
顺便说一句,这些都是统计领域。
We need that very much.
我们非常需要这个。
Accounting, auditing.
会计、审计。
So do come.
所以一定要来。
In addition to that, if somebody wants to be the president, she or he is also welcome.
除此之外,如果有人想当总统,她或他也是受欢迎的。
So all are welcome.
所以欢迎大家。
Afghanistan had been at work for 22 years.
阿富汗已经工作了 22 年。
There were the Soviets, then the ten-year fight to expel them.
先是苏联人,然后是为驱逐他们而进行的十年斗争。
Then the war between the Afghans.
然后是阿富汗人之间的战争。
Then the Taliban took over.
然后塔利班接管了。
As a result, an entire generation of Afghans has grown up in the United States.
结果,整整一代阿富汗人在美国长大。
Teenagers today who are much more American than they are Afghan.
今天的青少年比阿富汗人更美国人化。
Many of them have never seen their country.
他们中的许多人从未见过自己的国家。
And it's possible that the very first teenager to take Hamid Karzai's invitation to heart and return to Afghanistan was a 17-year-old from Northern California named Hyder Akbar.
第一个认真对待哈米德·卡尔扎伊的邀请并返回阿富汗的青少年可能是来自北加州的 17 岁男孩海德·阿克巴尔 (Hyder Akbar)。
And, as luck would have it, before he went, he met a radio producer named Susan Burton, and she urged him to take a tape recorder along on the trip.
幸运的是,在他出发之前,他遇到了一位名叫苏珊·伯顿的广播制作人,她敦促他在旅途中携带一台录音机。
Well, today we feel lucky to bring you the recordings that he made.
好吧,今天我们很幸运为您带来他制作的录音。
As you'll hear, Hyder's father had moved back to Afghanistan-- months before Hyder went-- to work for Hamid Karzai in the new government of the country.
正如您将听到的那样,海德的父亲在海德离开之前几个月就搬回了阿富汗,在该国新政府中为哈米德·卡尔扎伊工作。
And because of his father's position, which was pretty high up in the government, Hyder gets an insider's look at everything going on in the country.
由于他父亲在政府中的职位相当高,海德可以从内部人士的角度了解这个国家正在发生的一切。
It is a very unusual glimpse at a country that most of us still do not really have much sense of.
这是对一个我们大多数人仍然没有太多了解的国家的非常不寻常的一瞥。
Of course, this is This American Life from WBEZ Chicago, distributed by Public Radio International.
当然,这是芝加哥 WBEZ 的《美国生活》,由国际公共广播电台发行。
I'm Ira Glass.
我是艾拉·格拉斯。
For most of our show today, you're going to be hearing the recordings that Hyder made himself.
在我们今天节目的大部分内容中,您将听到海德自己制作的录音。
But to give you a sense of who Hyder was before he went on his trip to Afghanistan, Susan Burton begins Hyder's story before the trip at his home in Concord, California.
但为了让您了解海德在前往阿富汗之前是谁,苏珊·伯顿在海德前往阿富汗之前在他位于加利福尼亚州康科德的家中开始了他的故事。
When Hyder goes to Barnes and Noble, the first thing he does with any new book they have in about Afghanistan is turn to the index and look up Kabul Radio.
当海德去巴诺书店时,他对任何有关阿富汗的新书所做的第一件事就是翻阅索引并查找喀布尔广播电台。
It's pretty much always in there, because on the night in 1979 when the Soviets took Kabul, they stormed two places.
它几乎总是在那里,因为 1979 年苏联占领喀布尔的那个晚上,他们猛攻了两个地方。
One was the palace and the other was Kabul Radio.
一个是宫殿,另一个是喀布尔广播电台。
Kabul Radio was headed by Hyder's dad.
喀布尔广播电台由海德的父亲领导。
During the years of the resistance, Hyder's dad had two close friends.
在抵抗时期,海德的父亲有两个亲密的朋友。
One was Hamid Karzai, now the President of Afghanistan, and the other was a legendary commander named Abdul Haq.
一位是现任阿富汗总统哈米德·卡尔扎伊,另一位是传奇指挥官阿卜杜勒·哈克。
After he looks up Kabul Radio, the next thing Hyder looks up in any book is always Abdul Haq.
在海德查找喀布尔电台后,他在任何书中查找的下一个总是阿卜杜勒·哈克。
In his favorite book, Soldiers of God by Robert D.
在他最喜欢的书《上帝的士兵》中,罗伯特·D.
Kaplan, there's an entire chapter, chapter five, completely and totally devoted to Abdul Haq.
卡普兰,有一整章,第五章,完全致力于阿卜杜勒·哈克。
One time Hyder told his mother what Kaplan said about Abdul Haq's headquarters in Peshawar.
有一次,海德告诉他的母亲卡普兰关于阿卜杜勒·哈克位于白沙瓦的总部的说法。
And then he describes how he went into his office, and how he was always busy, and he had one hand on the phone, another one looking at some maps.
然后他描述了他如何走进办公室,以及他如何总是很忙,他一只手放在电话上,另一只手看着一些地图。
And you always felt like you were wasting time when you were [UNINTELLIGIBLE].
当你[难以理解]时,你总是觉得自己在浪费时间。
And my mom was like, wait.
我妈妈说,等等。
He wasn't that busy.
他没那么忙。
He was at our house every single day.
他每天都来我们家。
Hyder's dad worked with the resistance.
海德的父亲与抵抗组织一起工作。
For years, Hyder didn't see his dad and didn't know his hero, Abdul Haq.
多年来,海德没有见到他的父亲,也不认识他的英雄阿卜杜勒·哈克。
When Abdul Haq suddenly showed up at the family's house in California a couple weeks before September 11, Hyder was speechless.
9 月 11 日之前几周,当阿卜杜勒·哈克 (Abdul Haq) 突然出现在加利福尼亚州的家里时,海德无言以对。
That day, Abdul Haq told Hyder's dad that he was scheming to topple the Taliban.
那天,阿卜杜勒·哈克告诉海德的父亲,他正密谋推翻塔利班。
Not long after September 11, he got in touch again.
9月11日后不久,他又联系上了。
He was going in.
他正要进去。
He was ready.
他已经准备好了。
Days after Abdul Haq snuck into Afghanistan, Hyder came home from school and found his mother crying in her bedroom.
阿卜杜勒·哈克潜入阿富汗几天后,海德放学回家,发现母亲在卧室里哭泣。
Abdul Haq had been captured and killed by the Taliban, shot with dozens of bullets, then hung from a tree.
阿卜杜勒·哈克 (Abdul Haq) 被塔利班抓获并杀死,中了数十颗子弹,然后吊在树上。
Hyder wrote about the execution in his current events journal at school the next day, and a teacher wrote a check mark, and then, in red ballpoint pen, "Sorry."
第二天,海德在学校的时事日记中写下了这次处决的情况,一位老师写了一个复选标记,然后用红色圆珠笔写下了“抱歉”。
Just weeks after Abdul Haq's death, the Taliban were defeated by the American forces.
阿卜杜勒·哈克死后仅几周,塔利班就被美军击败。
The next month, Hyder's dad had a long talk with his old friend Hamid Karzai, sold his business, and left for Afghanistan.
下个月,海德的父亲与他的老朋友哈米德·卡尔扎伊进行了一次长谈,卖掉了他的生意,然后前往阿富汗。
OK.
好的。
This is my room.
这是我的房间。
To the right is the TV, and I have a couple of video games and stuff like that.
右边是电视,我有一些电子游戏之类的东西。
When I first meet Hyder, he shows me around his house.
当我第一次见到海德时,他带我参观了他的房子。
We sit down in the living room and look at family photos, like a snapshot of Hamid Karzai at Disneyland maybe 20 years ago, baby-faced, standing next to Goofy.
我们坐在客厅里,看着家庭照片,就像 20 年前哈米德·卡尔扎伊 (Hamid Karzai) 在迪士尼乐园的快照,他长着一张娃娃脸,站在高飞旁边。
Well, this is an issue, September 1968, it's a National Geographic issue.
嗯,这是一个问题,1968 年 9 月,这是一个国家地理问题。
Hyder opens the old magazine, which he bid for off of Ebay, and shows me a favorite picture of Afghanistan.
海德打开了他从 eBay 上竞购的旧杂志,给我看了一张最喜欢的阿富汗照片。
Actually, I really, really, really like this picture.
其实我真的真的真的真的很喜欢这张照片。
This is more of the countryside of Afghanistan.
这更像是阿富汗的乡村。
And it's green, green grass and trees, and then there's just like blue, blue water flowing through.
这里有绿色的草和树,还有蓝色的水流过。
Yeah.
是的。
There's a shepherd here, and then there's a cow but I'm sure.
这里有一个牧羊人,还有一头牛,但我确定。
That house looks pretty neat, too.
那房子看起来也很整洁。
In the middle of the river, there's a rock, and there's a house built on top of it.
河中央有一块岩石,上面建着一座房子。
I don't know how he gets back to the land, But I think he would probably goes through these rocks or something.
我不知道他是如何回到陆地的,但我想他可能会穿过这些岩石之类的。
We look at the picture for so long that it starts to seem to me almost like a fairytale picture you can enter inside.
我们对这幅画看了很长时间,以至于在我看来,它几乎就像一幅可以进入其中的童话故事。
Like when the movie camera goes in for a closeup on a color plate in a storybook, and then all of a sudden, the wagons are rolling and the animals' tails are swishing in Dolby stereo, and the action is actually happening right there.
就像当电影摄影机在故事书中的彩片上拍摄特写镜头时,突然间,马车在滚动,动物的尾巴在杜比立体声中摆动,而动作实际上就在那里发生。
Before Hyder's dad left for Afghanistan, he owned a hip hop clothes store in Oakland.
在海德的父亲前往阿富汗之前,他在奥克兰拥有一家嘻哈服装店。
A few months ago, he was selling FUBU pants to teenagers.
几个月前,他向青少年出售 FUBU 裤子。
Now he spends his days with the people running Afghanistan.
现在,他与阿富汗人民一起度过了余生。
Hyder shows me a picture taken just a couple weeks before of his dad sitting near Karzai at a medieval-looking dining table in the palace in Kabul at a meeting about peacekeeping troops.
海德给我看了一张几周前拍摄的照片,照片中他的父亲坐在卡尔扎伊附近,坐在喀布尔宫殿一张中世纪风格的餐桌旁,参加一场有关维和部队的会议。
When I see this, I'm really, really happy for him.
当我看到这一点时,我真的非常非常为他感到高兴。
Because it's kind of like his dream.
因为这有点像他的梦想。
I could tell how bored and how frustrated he was living here, and having to just be at the store and just live everyday life.
我可以看出他住在这里是多么无聊和沮丧,不得不呆在商店里过着日常生活。
I remember for a couple years, my mom was telling him, don't even interact with people.
我记得有几年,我妈妈告诉他,甚至不要与人互动。
I think it's pretty much because he had lost hope.
我认为这很大程度上是因为他失去了希望。
It was weird.
很奇怪。
I mean, a lot of people have been effected by September 11, but like, our family's literally turned upside down.
我的意思是,到 9 月 11 日,很多人都受到了影响,但我们的家庭确实发生了翻天覆地的变化。
Even me.
甚至是我。
My whole plan of my life has changed.
我的整个人生计划都改变了。
Before September 11, Hyder thought he'd study business, maybe become a mortgage broker, like his older brother.
9 月 11 日之前,海德认为他会学习商业,也许会成为一名抵押贷款经纪人,就像他的哥哥一样。
But after, Hyder felt like he had found his mission in life.
但之后,海德觉得他找到了人生的使命。
He would do something big to help Afghanistan rebuild, like become a politician or an engineer.
他会做一些大事来帮助阿富汗重建,比如成为一名政治家或工程师。
The one problem was, all of his dreams took place in a country to which he'd never been.
唯一的问题是,他所有的梦想都发生在一个他从未去过的国家。
So he convinced his dad to let him join up with him in Afghanistan for the summer.
因此,他说服父亲让他和自己一起去阿富汗过暑假。
Like, I read a lot about it, and I learn a lot.
就像,我读了很多相关内容,也学到了很多东西。
By now I know a lot about it.
到现在我已经知道很多了。
But I've never visited it.
但我从来没有参观过它。
So that's another reason I really want to go.
这是我真的想去的另一个原因。
Because it's easy to talk, but then to actually do it is much harder, you know?
因为说起来容易,但真正做到却很难,你知道吗?
That's what my father was telling me, too.
我父亲也是这么告诉我的。
Right now it's easy to talk about going back, but once you have to, like, take a glass of water, cold water, and put it over your head, and that's how you take the shower, and on mountains, and you have like a biscuit in your hand, it's not as easy.
现在谈论回去很容易,但是一旦你必须,比如,拿一杯水,冷水,把它放在你的头上,这就是你洗澡的方式,在山上,你手里就像一块饼干,那就没那么容易了。
When your dad said that to you, was that kind of sobering?
当你父亲对你说这句话的时候,你是不是觉得很清醒?
No, it actually made me more hard-headed, and even want to go back even more, you know?
不,反而让我更加顽固,甚至更加想回去了,知道吗?
Just to prove it, and just to get the doubts out of my head.
只是为了证明这一点,只是为了消除我脑海中的疑虑。
It's almost like a test, you know?
这几乎就像一个测试,你知道吗?
I want to pass it.
我想通过它。
It's almost like a test on how much I can take.
这几乎就像是对我能承受多少的测试。
OK, on the test, or quiz, I should say--
好吧,在测试或测验中,我应该说——
There are a lot of Afghan kids at Hyder's high school, but he tries not to talk too much about his trip with them, or with anyone.
海德的高中有很多阿富汗孩子,但他尽量不与他们或任何人过多谈论他的旅行。
The whole thing means so much to him that it's difficult to explain.
整件事对他来说意义重大,很难解释。
On the day I visit his English class, the teacher shows the movie version of Frankenstein , and after, everyone's supposed to list five differences from the book.
在我去上他的英语课的那天,老师展示了电影版的《弗兰肯斯坦》,之后,每个人都应该列出与书中的五个不同之处。
But instead, everyone's just talking.
但相反,每个人都只是说说而已。
And a girl eating saltines one by one out of a package on her desk asks Hyder how come he's going, and if he's ever coming back.
一个女孩从桌子上的一包咸饼干中拿出一张一张地吃,问海德他怎么去,以及他是否还会回来。
Yeah, I'm coming back.
是的,我回来了。
But I don't know.
但我不知道。
It's a pretty long answer, so I really can't summarize it in--
这是一个很长的答案,所以我真的无法总结它 -
Hyder's friend Alex jumps in.
海德的朋友亚历克斯插了进来。
Alex He's really deep with his roots.
Alex 他的根基非常深厚。
Let's just say that.
就这么说吧。
He's going to get his education here, and then move back to Afghanistan and help rebuild it.
他将在这里接受教育,然后返回阿富汗帮助重建国家。
Really?
真的吗?
Wow!
哇!
That's cool.
这很酷。
That's a pretty good summary.
这是一个非常好的总结。
Oh, I'm his manager.
哦,我是他的经理。
Susan Burton Alex is not Afghan, but everyone calls him "Halfghan," because he can recite his cell phone number in Dari.
苏珊·伯顿·亚历克斯不是阿富汗人,但每个人都称他为“半个阿富汗人”,因为他能用达里语背诵自己的手机号码。
A lot of these kids saw a picture Hyder's father sent of Hamid Karzai sitting at his desk in the palace holding a satellite phone,.
这些孩子中的很多人都看到了海德父亲发来的一张哈米德·卡尔扎伊坐在宫殿办公桌前拿着卫星电话的照片。
And today they joke with Hyder about the various devices he might use to keep in touch with them over the summer.
今天,他们与海德开玩笑,谈论他在夏天可能会使用的各种设备来与他们保持联系。
Oh, you should get a two-way from here to Afghanistan.
哦,你应该从这里到阿富汗有两条路。
Why don't you bring a laptop?
你为什么不带笔记本电脑?
Wireless internet!
无线上网!
Yeah.
是的。
You'll be like, hey, Hyder, how's Afghanistan.
你会说,嘿,海德,阿富汗怎么样。
"I haven't seen her face yet, but."
“我还没见过她的脸,但是。”
"I haven't seen her face yet," the boy says.
“我还没有看到她的脸,”男孩说。
Hyder loves his friends, but says it's weird, because they're interested in all the regular stuff.

Girls, cars, different kinds of sneakers.
女孩、汽车、不同种类的运动鞋。
Where Hyder wishes that he could zoom ahead to being a grown up and moving back to Afghanistan.
海德希望他能长大成人并搬回阿富汗。
That's another thing.
那是另一回事了。
Unlike most of his friends and cousins, he doesn't feel American.
与他的大多数朋友和表兄弟不同,他并不觉得自己是美国人。
I do feel like somewhat of an outsider here.
我确实觉得自己在这里有点像个局外人。
It's really weird.
真的很奇怪。
I've never been in my own country.
我从未去过自己的国家。
I think that's one of the reasons I really want to go now, is just to see.
我想这就是我现在真正想去的原因之一,只是为了看看。
And I almost feel I have like an insecurity.
我几乎感觉自己有一种不安全感。
There's so much more that could have happened to me, you know?
我身上可能发生的事情还有很多,你知道吗?
If I wasn't so fortunate, I could have easily been growing up there right now.
如果我没有那么幸运,我现在很可能就在那里长大。
Growing up in a generation that literally doesn't know anything but war.
在除了战争之外一无所知的一代人中长大。
I think anything could happen to me and I would still almost always not try to complain about it, because of what Afghans have been through, especially in Afghanistan.
我认为任何事情都可能发生在我身上,但我几乎总是不会试图抱怨它,因为阿富汗人所经历的一切,尤其是在阿富汗。
Hyder's been toughening up for this trip.
海德一直在为这次旅行做好准备。
Before leaving for Afghanistan, his dad made a deal with him.

And there's another detail to take care of.

The other day, my mom told me to make sure you get your shots before going to Afghanistan.
有一天,我妈妈告诉我在去阿富汗之前一定要注射疫苗。
And I actually don't want to take them.
我实际上不想接受它们。
Because I don't know, it kind of adds on more to the foreigner, an American, going to Afghanistan.
因为我不知道,这对外国人、美国人来说,去阿富汗会增加更多的感觉。
It might seem silly or childish or too much testosterone or whatever, but I just don't want to go in and get shots to make sure I don't get sick or malaria or anything.
这可能看起来很愚蠢或幼稚或睾丸激素过多或其他什么,但我只是不想进去注射以确保我不会生病或疟疾或其他任何东西。
Because my father never had to.
因为我父亲从来不需要这么做。
I'm kind of like, it's my own country.
我觉得,这是我自己的国家。
I'm just going to go in there.
我正要去那里。
I don't want them to think of me as a foreigner.

Hyder's trip is just six weeks away.
距离海德的旅程只剩六周了。
He's hoping that instead of flying straight to Kabul, he can arrange to travel over the Khyber pass.

That's the right way to do it, he says.
他说,这是正确的做法。

大家都是这么做的。
The Mongols, the British conquerors, the mujahideen.

Yeah.
是的。
It's hard to explain.
这很难解释。
I think it's in the CD player right now, so one sec.
我想它现在在 CD 播放器中,所以等一下。
Yeah.
是的。
And it's kind of like, when I picture that place, "Where the Streets Have No Name," I picture something like Afghanistan, you know?
这有点像,当我想象那个地方时,“街道没有名字的地方”,我想象的是像阿富汗这样的地方,你知道吗?
And I think it's a song, it's pretty much tired about how set and systematic the world is.
我认为这是一首歌,它对世界的固定和系统性感到非常厌倦。
Yeah.
是的。
Like, "I want to run, I want to hide, I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside." So it's kind of like at the point where I am right now.
就像,“我想逃跑,我想躲藏,我想推倒限制我的墙壁。”所以这有点像我现在的处境。
Just, I feel really-- held down.
只是,我真的感到——压抑。
