those women who refused to dwindle in the midst of apartheid.

我想把這首歌獻給南非所有的婦女--

And, of course, I'm dedicating it also to my grandmother,

特別是那些拒絕在種族隔離中式微的女性。

whom I think really played quite a lot of important roles,

當然，這首歌也要特別獻給我的奶奶，

especially for me when I was an activist, and being harassed by the police.

她在我的一生中扮演了相當重要的角色，

You will recall that in 1976, June 16, the students of South Africa boycotted

尤其是在我身為激進份子而備受警察騷擾的那段期間。

the language of Afrikaans as the medium of the oppressor,

你們大概都還記得在1976年6月16號，南非的學生聯合抵制

as they were sort of like really told

鎮壓者強迫把南非荷蘭語作為溝通的媒介。

that they must do everything in Afrikaans --

學生們被迫

biology, mathematics -- and what about our languages?

一定要用南非荷蘭語來學習任何課程--

And the students wanted to speak to the government,

如生物，數學-- 那我們自身的語言該如何生存呢?

and police answered with bullets.

因此學生們想和政府對談，

So every year, June 16, we will commemorate

但警方確以子彈回應。

all those comrades or students who died.

因此，每年的6月16號，我們都會紀念

And I was very young then. I think I was 11 years,

那些在反抗中犧牲的學生。

and I started asking questions,

回想起當時，我還很小，大概才11歲，

and that's when my political education started.

正是對任何事物感到好奇的時候，

And I joined, later on, the youth organization

而我的政治教育也正此開始。

under the African National Congress.

後來，我加入了

So as part of organizing this and whatever,

非洲國民大會的青年組織。

this commemoration, the police will round us up

身為組織紀念活動的一員，

as they call us leaders.

警察常會來圍捕騷擾我們，

And I used to run away from home,

他們把我們叫作"領導者"，

when I know that maybe the police might be coming

在當時我還甚至常常逃家

around the ninth or 10th of June or so.

為了就是躲避警方的逮捕。

And my grandmother one time said,

他們常在6月的9號或10號來。

"No, look, you're not going to run away.

有次，我的奶奶還說：

This is your place, you stay here."

「聽好，這次你不准走

And indeed, the police came -- because they'll just arrest us

這裡就是你的家，就好好待在這裡。」

and put us in jail and release us whenever they feel like, after the 20th or so.

那晚，警察果真又來了。因為他們總是任意地逮捕我們，

So it was on the 10th of June, and they came, and they surrounded the house,

關進牢裡，然後大約又在6月20號以後釋放我們。

and my grandmother switched off all the lights in the house,

那晚是6月10號，警察來了，把我家包圍起來，

and opened the kitchen door.

奶奶把房裡所有的燈關掉，

And she said to them, "Vusi's here, and you're not going to take him tonight.

再打開廚房的門。

I'm tired of you having to come here, harassing us,

她對他們說:「伍斯今晚在家，不過你們別想把他帶走，

while your children are sleeping peacefully in your homes.

我真的受夠了你們跑來這裡來騷擾我們，

He is here, and you're not going to take him.

而你們的孩子確能在家裡睡得這麼安穩。

I've got a bowl full of boiling water -- the first one who comes in here, gets it."

他今晚就在這，但你們別想逮捕他。

And they left.

我已經準備好滿滿一盆滾燙的開水，誰先進來，我就潑向誰。」

(Applause) (Music)

那晚他們就只好灰頭土臉的走了。
