to 不定詞

Today I'm going to share my personal journey

Feel free to cry, laugh, cross your legs,

or do anything your body feels like doing.

I'm not going to name the things your body does.

我不會將你們身體會做的事 一項一項地列出來。

I don't have any diamonds  on me, by the way.

你要是現在已經萌生一些想法...

If you have heard of Ebola, well, that's in Sierra Leone as well.

我順帶一提，我身上並沒有任何鑽石。

Be seated. You're fine. I was checked before I got here.

我沒有攜帶伊波拉病毒， 你們都很安全，

Don't ask me why a man needs more than one wife.

坐下來。你們沒事。 我來之前已經被檢查過了。

不要問我為甚麼 男人需要超過一個妻子。

He was looking for a heart attack, that's what I say.

男士們，你們需要多於一個妻子嗎？

When I was three, war broke out in Sierra Leone in 1991.

I remember literally going to bed one night, everything was good.

他是在自找心臟病，我是這麼認為的。

噢，是的，他真的是自找麻煩。

and people were trying to kill me and my family.

We escaped the war and ended up in Gambia, in West Africa.

Ebola is there as well. Stay away from it.

we didn't know what was going to become of us.

有些人還試圖殺害我和我的家人。

She's a wonderful, smart woman, that one,

我們逃離戰爭， 抵達西非的甘比亞。

那裡也有伊波拉病毒，不要去。

我們不知道甚麼事 會降臨到我們的身上。

在這件事情上， 她是個了不起又聰明的女人。

"We're going on  a little holiday, a little trip."

and we drove for hours and ended up in a bush

「我們去度假，一個小小的旅行。」

She had a chat with my mom, and went back.

Then she came back and walked away from us into a second hut.

到達一個位於甘比亞偏遠地區的灌木林。

叢林裡，我們找到了兩間小棚屋。

"This is very confusing. I don't know what's going on."

她看來是很民族的感覺，年紀很大。

然後她又走回來，走進第二間小棚屋

and then she pinned me down on the floor.

I struggled and tried to get her off me, but I couldn't.

「真叫人摸不著頭腦，到底發生甚麼事。」

Then the old lady came towards me with a rusty-looking knife,

orange-looking, has never seen water or sunlight before.

我拼命掙扎，想要把她推開， 但都無補於事

那個老女人走上前，拿著一把生鏽的刀

She took hold of what I now know to be my clitoris,

she took that rusty knife, and started cutting away, inch by inch.

and asked my mom to get off me so this pain will stop,

This old lady sawed away at my flesh for what felt like forever,

她拿捏住我的下體， 我後來才知道那是陰蒂

她用那把生鏽的刀開始一寸一寸地割下

she threw that piece of flesh across the floor

as if it was the most disgusting thing she's ever touched.

懇求媽媽放我下來，結束這痛苦

They both got off me, and left me there bleeding,

crying, and confused as to what just happened.

這老女人割下我的肉， 整個過程感覺永遠沒有結束

Very soon, we found that we were coming to Australia,

and this is when you had the Sydney Olympics at the time,

and people said we were going to the end of the world,

there was nowhere else to go after Australia.

把我獨自留在那裡淌血、痛哭、茫然。我在想“剛剛發生了什麼”

We went to Senegal, then France, and then Singapore.

We went to the bathroom to wash our hands.

We spent 15 minutes opening the tap like this.

澳洲再往外，就沒有任何東西了

是的，這的確讓我們感到些許寬慰（反話）

slid their hand under and water came out,

and we thought, is this what we're in for?

我們途經塞内加爾、法國、 然後到新加坡

花了十五分鐘都無法把水龍頭弄開

where literally they dumped us in Adelaide, that's what I would say.

把手放到了（水龍頭）下面，水就出來了

我们當時在想， 這是我们將要生活的地方嗎？

他們就把我們扔在了阿德萊德， 真的可以說是，

我們安置了下來，並且喜歡那裡。

對我們來說是，“我們到家了，就在這裡”

"You brought us to the wrong place. You must take us back to Australia."

然後有人帶我們去朗德爾購物中心。

Yeah. It had to be explained to her that  there were a lot of Asians in Australia
