Jo was the only member of the family to attend church services regularly and was baptized here at the age of 11.
喬是家里唯一一個經(jīng)常來教堂服務(wù)的人。11歲的時候，她在這里受洗。
Do you believe in God?
你信仰上帝嗎？
Yes.
是的。
I do- I do struggle with it.
我真的，真的對此掙扎過。
I couldn't pretend that I'm not doubt-ridden about a lot of things and that would be one of them. But I would say yes.
我沒法假裝對許多事情不抱懷疑，這也是我掙扎的原因之一，但我還是會說“是”。
Do you think there's a life beyond this of some kind?
你相信冥冥之中有某個東西超越于萬物之上嗎？
Yes, I think I do.
是的，我想是的。
Jo's religious belief and her thoughts about love, death and the afterlife were severely tested when her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1980.
喬的宗教信仰和她關(guān)于愛，死亡和來生的想法在她母親1980年被診斷出多發(fā)性硬化癥的時候遭到了嚴(yán)峻的考驗。
I was 15 when she was diagnosed.
她被確診的時候，我15歲。
But we now know that she was showing signs probably from when I was about 10 or 11.
但我們現(xiàn)在知道她從我10歲11歲時就可能有癥狀顯示了。
She would have odd losses of feeling in limbs.
她的四肢會奇怪地失去知覺。
Her balance actually was poor for a long time.
她的平衡感其實很長一段時間都很差。
And then it just got worse and worse and she decided it was time to visit the doctor but she wasn't expecting to hear anything.
之后身體每況愈下，直到她覺得要去看醫(yī)生，但她本以為沒什么大礙。
And then, you know, a year of tests and there we were.
然后一年的檢查下來，我們得到了確診。
She had a very virulent form of the illness.
她患上了惡疾。
And at that time there were no drug treatments at all.
那時候沒有一點藥物可以治療。
They said, "Well, you've got multiple sclerosis. See you. "
他們說：“好吧，你得了多發(fā)性硬化癥，保重。”
The illness was to have a devastating impact on the two girls.
這場病給兩個女孩帶來了毀滅性的影響。
Particularly as they found their father difficult.
特別是她們與父親相處不和。
One of the reasons Harry Potter is so full of idealized father figures Hagrid, Dumbledore and Sirius Black is that Jo's relationship with her own father was far from ideal.
《哈利·波特》中充滿了那么多完美父親的形象：海格，鄧布利多和小天狼星·布萊克，原因之一就是喬和自己父親的關(guān)系并不如意。
I was very frightened of my father for a very long time.
很長一段時間以來，我很怕我的父親。
And...But also tried.
然后……但是我也嘗試了。
Well, it's a common combination, isn't it? I also tried desperately to get his approval and make him happy, I suppose.
父女不和是種很常見的關(guān)系，是吧？我拼命嘗試得到他的認(rèn)可，或者說哄他開心。
And then there came a point, quite shamingly late in life where I couldn't do that anymore.
直到某一天自覺羞愧，一直到了年紀(jì)挺大的時候我再也不想這么做了。
And so I haven't had any contact with my father now for a few years.
所以在這之后，我已經(jīng)好幾年沒和父親有任何聯(lián)系了。
The absence of any meaningful relationship with her father and the long, slow loss of her mother are two of the most important influences on Jo's writing.
這種父女之間重要關(guān)系的缺席以及看著母親死去這一段長久而緩慢的經(jīng)歷是影響喬寫作的兩個最重要因素。

She never knew about Harry Potter or the phenomenal success her daughter was about to enjoy.
她再也不會知道《哈利·波特》也不會知道她女兒即將享有的非凡成就。
