Sartore says, you can't really get a sense of the road unless you come and drive on it yourself.
萨托尔说,除非你亲自开车过去,否则你无法真正了解这条路。
Hearing it on the microphone doesn't cut it.
通过麦克风听到它并不会减少它。
We're probably about three, four hours away from Kunar.
我们距离库纳尔大约有三、四个小时的路程。
We're going about 20 kilometers an hour, so 15 miles an hour, I'd say.
我们的行驶速度约为每小时 20 公里,所以我想说,每小时 15 英里。

这是一款看起来非常酷的手电筒。
It's a long tube thing.
这是一个长管子的东西。
It's like those kinds you see and use them in the movies.
就像您在电影中看到和使用的那些类型一样。
Like The Fugitive , or stuff like that, where they look around in rooms.
就像逃亡者,或者类似的东西,他们在房间里环顾四周。
So we're outside.
所以我们在外面。
It's pretty dark, because Kunar doesn't have electricity.
库纳尔没有电,所以很黑。
The landscape's incredible.
风景令人难以置信。
Mountains after mountains, and then rivers flowing underneath, and trees.
一座又一座山,下面是流淌的河流和树木。
It's a beautiful place.
这是一个美丽的地方。
[SIGHS] There's still a lot of problems.
[叹气]仍然有很多问题。
It just seems like such a daunting task.
这似乎是一项艰巨的任务。
These border areas, these tribal areas, all the history.
这些边疆地区,这些部落地区,都有历史。
I talked to my dad today about it.
今天我和我爸爸谈了这件事。
It seems like it's never been tamed.
它似乎从未被驯服过。
From the British, to the Russians, to everybody.

To Alexander the Great.
献给亚历山大大帝。

And now my dad is trying.

Like any of the people in the government right now, I read somewhere in an article, they joked.

They said they wouldn't be good life insurance policy candidates.

And it's true.

[SIGHS] It's really weird to take walks with my dad and have armed guards walking around with me.
[叹气] 和我爸爸一起散步并且有武装警卫和我一起走来走去真的很奇怪。
[INTERPOSING VOICES] I'm just talking to my dad right now.
[插话]我现在正在和我爸爸说话。
We're walking by the river.

This is usually where we take our walks.

There's a little stairway down to the riverside from the house.

We're walking alongside there with my dad.

It's been interesting to talk to my dad about some of the problems he's facing in Kunar.
和我父亲谈论他在库纳尔面临的一些问题很有趣。
There's the obvious ones, like interference from Taliban, or Al-Qaida.
有一些显而易见的问题,比如来自塔利班或基地组织的干扰。
There's the opium.
那里有鸦片。
But one of the problems that's not being reported much about, but is becoming somewhat of a serious problem, is the re-emergence of the Afghan communists.
但是,阿富汗共产党的重新崛起是一个没有被太多报道但正在成为一个严重问题的问题。
They are not ideologically communists.
他们在意识形态上不是共产主义者。
They were just people that fought on the Soviet side during the resistance.
他们只是抗战时期站在苏联一边的人。
These people have become police chiefs, have gotten high positions in the interior ministry, the defense ministry, and this has brought back former tormentors over the people that they tormented.
这些人已经成为警察局长,在内政部和国防部中担任要职,这让以前的折磨者重新回到了他们所折磨的人身上。
And this is creating problems.
这正在产生问题。
Especially in Kunar.
尤其是在库纳尔。
My dad has told me about this mass grave right next to us here.
我父亲告诉我关于我们旁边的这个乱葬坑的事。
This was actually done, I think, during let's say around 1978.
我认为,这实际上是在 1978 年左右完成的。
What they did, the communists, what they did was they called all the tribal elders in this area.
他们所做的,共产党人,他们所做的就是召集了这个地区所有的部落长老。
So about 1,200 men were called up.
于是大约有1200人被征召入伍。
And once the 1,200 people came, the communists they started gunning down basically everybody.
一旦 1,200 人到来,共产党人就开始枪杀基本上所有人。
And so it's a really huge blow to these people, to see these people back in the government after the massacres like that.
因此,在这样的屠杀之后看到这些人回到政府,对这些人来说确实是一个巨大的打击。
And so anyway, I'll probably discuss it more when I'm there with the people that were there.
所以无论如何,当我在那里与在场的人一起讨论时,我可能会更多地讨论它。
There's some people that survived it.
有一些人幸存下来。
OK, I'm walking to it now.

他说他记得这件事就像是几分钟前发生的一样,因为这件事就在他眼前完成。
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Hyder Akbar And he says, there's no elders in his family left.
[说外语] Hyder Akbar 他说,他家里没有长辈了。
No fathers, no uncles, none of the fathers of his cousins, none of them are alive.

At first, they were all tentative to talk.

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Hyder Akbar It's so tragic that like, nobody even knows their story.

I mean, there's lines dedicated to the massacre here and there in certain books.

[说外语]第三个是什么?
At first, the translator was doing an all right job.
起初,翻译工作做得还不错。
But then I had to interrupt him several times.
但后来我不得不多次打断他。
So around this time, I took over the translation.
就在这个时候,我接手了翻译工作。
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Soldier The second reason is that there was a problem that was up here a few months ago.
[说外语]士兵第二个原因是几个月前这里出现了一个问题。
So then he started talking about the second reason why they were there, and that was because of the ex-communist, Shah Wali.
然后他开始谈论他们在那里的第二个原因,那就是因为前共产党员沙阿瓦利。
We brought Shah Wali up here, we have the elders here, so that we don't have a repeat of this problem in the future.
我们把Shah Wali带到了这里,我们有长辈在这里,这样我们以后就不会再出现这个问题了。
Just because people don't like other people, there's a personality conflict, OK?
仅仅因为人们不喜欢其他人,就会产生性格冲突,好吗?
It doesn't mean that you can't follow the duly appointed people in those positions.
这并不意味着您不能跟随正式任命的人员担任这些职位。
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Hyder Akbar They're really trying to establish authority there, the Americans are.
[说外语] Hyder Akbar 他们真的想在那里建立权威,美国人就是这样。
And Shah Wali was a person of authority.
沙阿瓦利是一个有权威的人。
But, this is just a corrupt official that takes bribes, steals money.
但是,这只是一个贪官受贿、偷钱而已。
And that's what the problem came down to.
这就是问题所在。
They refused to make the payments of him asking for bribes.
他们拒绝支付他索贿的款项。
And the Americans saw it as a refusal to pay tax.
美国人认为这是拒绝纳税。
And not accepting authority, or not obeying authority.
不接受权威,或者不服从权威。
What I was going to say, for instance, in the United States, if I get fined from a policeman for driving too fast.
例如,在美国,如果我因为开得太快而被警察罚款,我会说些什么。
But I think I was driving the speed limit, OK.
但我认为我已经达到了限速,好吧。
I don't shoot the policeman, OK.
我不会开枪打警察,好吧。
Yeah, OK.
是的,好的。
Soldier I don't run him over and say, I'm not going to listen to you, because I was right and you were wrong.
士兵,我不会撞到他并说,我不会听你的,因为我是对的,你是错的。
I go through the official system.
我是走官方系统的。
This policeman analogy, if you really want to use it.
这个警察的比喻,如果你真的想用的话。
Now imagine that this policeman had come into your house, and had robbed you like a year ago, and maybe killed a couple kids or two for you.
现在想象一下,这个警察来到你家,像一年前一样抢劫了你,也许还为你杀了一两个孩子。
And just walked out of your house, and then you started fighting him for like six months.
刚走出你的房子,然后你们就开始和他战斗了大约六个月。
And then, like the ninth one he comes and gives you a speeding ticket for going 55 in a 60 mile an hour.
然后,就像第九个人一样,他来给你一张超速罚单,让你以每小时 60 英里的速度行驶 55 英里。
That would be more an accurate analogy about what happened.
对于所发生的事情来说,这将是一个更准确的类比。
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Translator He says, we understand that we have to obey the central government, the provincial government.
[说外语]翻译他说,我们明白我们要服从中央政府、省政府。
And we do obey them.
我们确实服从他们。
But he said, if there's some guys coming here, like thuggery, or you know sort of running it like a mafia, then that you know, I can't be responsible for that.
但他说,如果有人来这里,比如行凶,或者你知道像黑手党一样运作,那么你知道,我不能为此负责。
Let's bring out the people.
我们把人带出来吧。
So Shah Wali comes in and starts talking also.
于是沙阿·瓦利也进来并开始讲话。
And when he starts talking, it's really super fast.
当他开始说话时,速度真的超级快。
So you can tell, he's a little worried.
所以你可以看出,他有点担心。
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Hyder Akbar It's not really resolved at all.
[说外语] Hyder Akbar 根本没有真正解决。
When he got there, he was with the Americans.
当他到达那里时,他和美国人在一起。
And so most of the people that had been robbed by him, or that had been beaten by him, or that had their money stolen, or whatever, were too afraid to say anything.
所以大部分被他抢过的,或者被他打过的,或者被偷过钱的,或者其他什么的,都不敢说什么。
And Americans thought everything was OK.
美国人认为一切都好。
And OK, let's take a picture now.
好吧,现在让我们拍张照片。
So we decided to take a picture.
于是我们决定拍张照片。
I want to get a picture of him shaking Shah Wali's hand.
我想拍一张他和沙瓦利握手的照片。
[LAUGHTER]
[笑声]
Most of the mujahideen are like the Mullah Rauf.
大多数圣战者就像毛拉拉乌夫一样。
They're proud people.
他们是骄傲的人。
Not the kind of people that will go right away and kiss somebody's ass for a job.
不是那种会立即去拍别人屁股以获得工作的人。
But the communists are willing to do that.
但共产党人愿意这样做。
They've worked for foreigners before, they'll do it again.
他们以前为外国人工作过,他们还会再做一次。
And that really, in Kunar, it's gotten to a serious point.
事实上,在库纳尔,事情已经到了严重的地步。
Where it's the same communist people now, it's just a different group of white people with them.
现在是同样的共产主义人民,只不过是一群不同的白人。
It was just exactly what they would say, you know.
你知道,这正是他们会说的。
And so it's important for the Americans to see who they befriend.
因此,对于美国人来说,了解他们与谁交朋友很重要。
It's causing serious damage to them.
这对他们造成严重损害。
Everybody's calm downed, you see.
大家都冷静下来了,你看。
Let's talk now about some of the problems, and I'm going to let some of the other people speak in the room now.
现在我们来谈谈一些问题,现在我将让其他一些人在房间里发言。
Major Doug will talk about the projects we can do to bring peace and stability.
道格少校将谈论我们可以开展哪些项目来带来和平与稳定。
Next we started talking about school projects, or clinics, maybe a bridge.
接下来我们开始谈论学校项目,或者诊所,也许是一座桥梁。
And I think Shah Wali was just like, one incident, where this could mean a lot of permanent changes for them.
我认为沙阿瓦利就像一个事件,这可能对他们意味着很多永久性的改变。
So I think the school and bridges were more important for them.
所以我认为学校和桥梁对他们来说更重要。
I'm going to tell you that I cannot promise you we're going to build you a clinic, a school, a road or a bridge.
我要告诉你,我不能向你保证我们会为你建造一座诊所、一所学校、一条道路或一座桥梁。
I will not promise you that.
我不会向你保证这一点。
And if another soldier promised you that, I can't guarantee that those things are going to happen.
如果另一个士兵向你保证了这一点,我不能保证这些事情会发生。
I can tell you that we have submitted the paperwork to try and build a school here.
我可以告诉你,我们已经提交了尝试在这里建立一所学校的文件。
But I am waiting on approval from my generals to see if we can do that.
但我正在等待将军们的批准,看看我们是否能做到这一点。
Seems like nobody could make a decision.
似乎没有人能做出决定。
Or nobody can make a promise, except for Bush or somebody.
或者除了布什或其他人之外,没有人可以做出承诺。
Because everybody else has somebody higher up above them who has the real authority, who they're going to have to wait for what they decide.
因为其他人都有一个比他们更高的人,他们拥有真正的权力,他们必须等待他们的决定。
So it does kind of disappoint people at times.
所以有时确实会让人们失望。
And they do not seem like the strongest of allies when they can't even promise a bridge to them.
当他们甚至不能承诺为他们搭建一座桥梁时,他们看起来并不是最强大的盟友。
Coming up, things get more dangerous.
接下来,事情会变得更加危险。
A lot more dangerous.
危险得多。
Plus, a kitten.
另外,还有一只小猫。

早在 2003 年,我们首次播出今天的节目大约六个月后,海德带去审讯的那个人阿卜杜勒·瓦利(Abdul Wali)就成了国际新闻。
It turns out the US government concluded that he may not have died of a heart attack, as Hyder was told.
事实证明,美国政府得出的结论是,他可能并非如海德被告知的那样死于心脏病。
The American, who Hyder refers to as Dave in the story, was in fact a CIA contractor named David Passaro, and was indicted by the US Justice Department on charges of assault in the case.
