艾滋病——家庭
Voice 1: Hello, I'm Marina Santee.

Voice 1: A young child sits by the roadside. Her small hands rest in the dry dirt. She lifts the grains and watches them fall through her fingers. In her mind she can hear her mother's voice calling her. In her mind she can see her father working in the fields. But she knows that these images are only in her mind now. The young girl's mother and father are both dead. She is an orphan. For a minute, her brown eyes fill with tears. But her grandmother's voice stops her thoughts.
聲音1：一個小女孩坐在路邊。她的小手放在干土里。她抓起谷粒，看著這些谷粒從指縫間掉下去。她的腦海中可以聽到她媽媽叫她的聲音。她的腦海中還可以看到她爸爸在田地里干活的情景?？墒撬肋@些畫面現在只存在在她的腦海里。這個小女孩父母雙亡。她是孤兒。有那么一刻，她棕色的眼眸里噙滿了淚水。這時她奶奶的聲音打斷了她的思緒。
'Coming Grandma', she says in her native language of Swahili.
她用母語斯瓦希里語說，“奶奶，過來。”
Voice 2: Each year the number of orphans caused by HIV/AIDS rises. Worldwide, over twenty million people have died from diseases connected to AIDS. HIV is the virus that causes the AIDS disease. AIDS destroys the body's natural defence system. This means it cannot fight infections or diseases. There is no cure for AIDS.
聲音2：艾滋孤兒的人數每年都在上升。全世界已有2000余萬人死于艾滋病相關疾病。人類免疫缺陷病毒是引發艾滋病的病毒。艾滋病會破壞人體的天然防御系統。這意味著人體不能再對抗感染和疾病。目前艾滋病沒有治愈方法。
Voice 1: Adults suffer the most deaths from this disease. Many are mothers and fathers of young children. They are the workers of the land. They are the providers of food. They are the carers in the home. They are the carers and supporters of their parents. They are the 'working generation'. When they die, they leave the weaker members of the family behind — the children and the grandmothers.
聲音1：艾滋病死者中成年人最多。大部分是小孩子的母親和父親。大部分人是農民，是食物提供者，是照顧家庭者。他們是父母的照顧者和支持者。他們是勞動力。他們死亡以后，留下了家庭中的弱者——孩子和祖母。
