He was a foot taller than I was, and seemed as fragile as a child. I was given the job of escorting him back to the Underground Station afterwards, and this man whose life had been shattered by cruelty took my hand with exquisite courtesy, and wished me future happiness.
他比我高一英尺，但看上去却像个孩子一样脆弱。随后我遵照组织的安排护送他到地铁站时，这名人生已遭到残酷摧残的男子彬彬有礼地握住我的手，祝我未来幸福。
And as long as I live I shall remember walking along an empty corridor and suddenly hearing, from behind a closed door, a scream of pain and horror such as I have never heard since. The door opened, and the researcher poked out her head and told me to run and make a hot drink for the young man sitting with her. She had just had to give him the news that in retaliation for his own outspokenness against his country’s regime, his mother had been seized and executed.
在我有生之年，我都会记得一件事，当时我正经过一条空旷的走廊，突然听到紧闭着的房门口里传出一声痛苦和恐惧的尖叫，那是至今我从未听过的，那扇门打开了，调查员探出头请我快去给坐在她旁边的年轻男子倒一杯热饮料。她刚刚告诉那个年轻人，为报复他对祖国专政的直言批判，他的母亲已被抓走并处决了。
Every day of my working week in my early 20s I was reminded how incredibly fortunate I was, to live in a country with a democratically elected government, where legal representation and a public trial were the rights of everyone.
在我20多岁的那段日子里，每一天的工作都是在提醒我自己是多么幸运，能够生活在一个民主选举的政府领导国家，人人都享有依法申诉和公开审理的权力。
Every day, I saw more evidence about the evils humankind will inflict on their fellow humans, to gain or maintain power. I began to have nightmares, literal nightmares, about some of the things I saw, heard, and read.
每一天，我都能看到更多关于恶人的证据，他们为了获得或维护权力而对自己的同胞实施暴行。我开始做恶梦，真实的噩梦，全都和我的所见所闻有关。
And yet I also learned more about human goodness at Amnesty International than I had ever known before.
同时在大赦国际我也更多地了解了人类的善良，远比我以前了解的多。
