年我们认识了这11位强大的女性
LONDON — Since its inception in 2002, the Saturday Profile has aimed to bring to readers of The New York Times people around the world they probably have never heard of, but who have led interesting lives and done extraordinary things, or perhaps recently gone through a remarkable experience.
伦敦——自2002年开设以来，“周六人物”(Saturday Profile)便旨在向《纽约时报》的读者介绍世界各地的人。读者可能从来没有听说过这些人，但他们过着有趣的生活，做过不同寻常的事情，或者刚刚有了一段非凡的经历。The people we look for usually do not run countries, or headline blockbuster movies, or write best sellers. We leave those to the appropriate sections of the newspaper. Our subjects are more likely to have just emerged from prison, or written their 1,547th novel.
我们要找的人通常不是国家领导人、轰动性的电影大片主演或畅销书作者。我们会把这些人留给本报的相应版面。我们的报道对象更有可能刚出狱，或刚写完第1547本小说。Or, this year, to be women with a story to tell about abuse, sexual or otherwise — a couple of whom shared #MeToo moments in our pages. Carlotta Gall told the story of Henda Ayari, a French citizen of North African heritage and anti-Salafist activist who accused a prominent Oxford professor of raping her.
又或者，今年是一群有跟虐待、性或其他有关的故事要讲的女性。她们其中几个人在我们的页面上分享了“我也是”(#MeToo)的经历。卡洛塔·加尔(Carlotta Gall)讲述了汉达·阿亚里(Henda Ayari)的故事。后者是一名拥有北非血统的法国公民，也是一名反萨拉菲派活动人士。她指控牛津大学某知名教授强奸了她。
Sweden’s foreign minister, Margot Wallstrom, a proponent of a “feminist foreign policy,” opened up to Ellen Barry about her abuse at the hands of an old boyfriend when she was a young woman, something she had never said publicly before.
倡导“女权主义外交政策”的瑞典外交部长玛戈特·瓦尔斯特伦(Margot Wallstrom)向埃伦·巴里(Ellen Barry)敞开心扉，回忆了自己年轻时被当时的男友虐待的经历。她以前从未公开说过此事。Perhaps my favorite profile this year was Kiki Zhao’s stirring depiction of the remarkable Yu Xiuhua, now one of China’s most read poets, a woman with cerebral palsy who lived most of her 41 years on a farm, writing at a low table. She never finished high school, and says she “could write before she could read.” Now, she is invited to places like Stanford University and fends off comparisons to Emily Dickinson.
今年，我最喜欢的人物报道可能是Kiki Zhao对中国目前读者最多的诗人之一余秀华激动人心的描写。余秀华是一个了不起的人。她患有脑瘫，过去41年里大部分时间生活在农村，在一张矮桌子上写作。高中没毕业的她说自己“在能读它们（名著）之前，我就知道如何写作了”。现在，她受邀前往斯坦福大学等地，她不愿被比作艾米丽·迪金森(Emily Dickinson)。So take a look. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading them as much as I liked selecting and editing them.
因此，看看吧。我真诚地希望你们会喜欢它们，就像我在挑选和编辑它们时那样。Manal al-Sharif
