So I want to tell you a story -- an encouraging story
我想給大家講個故事，很鼓舞人心，
about addressing desperation, depression and despair in Afghanistan,
是有關解決阿富汗的絕望和抑郁的故事，
and what we have learned from it, and how to help people to overcome traumatic experiences
我們從中可學到什么，如何幫助人們克服創傷經歷留下陰影的辦法，
and how to help them to regain some confidence in the time ahead, in the future
以及如何幫助他們找回自信和對未來的自信，
and how to participate again in everyday life.
以及如何重新參與到日常生活中。
So, I am a Jungian psychoanalyst, and I went to Afghanistan in January 2004, by chance, on an assignment for Medica Mondiale.
我的職業是心理分析師，由于偶然的機會，我在2004年7月去了趟阿富汗，去做一項醫學調查。
Jung in Afghanistan -- you get the picture.
這就是榮格在阿富汗--你們看到了這張照片。
Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world, and 70 percent of the people are illiterate.
阿富汗是世界上最貧窮的國家之一，百分之七十的人民都是文盲。
War and malnutrition kills people together with hope.
戰爭和營養不良不僅扼殺了他們的生命，還扼殺了希望。
You may know this from the media, but what you may not know is that the average age of the Afghan people is 17 years old,
你可能從各種媒體中知道了這點。但是你可能不知道的是阿富汗人的平均壽命是17歲，
which means they grow up in such an environment and -- I repeat myself -- in 30 years of war.
這意味著，我再重復一遍，他們從小生長在長達30年的戰爭中。
So this translates into ongoing violence, foreign interests, bribery, drugs,
他們的生活環境是持續的戰爭，外國利益集團的覬覦、商業賄賂、毒品、
ethnic conflicts, bad health, shame, fear and cumulative traumatic experiences.
宗教沖突、糟糕的健康狀況、羞愧、恐懼以及持續的創傷經歷。
Local and foreign military are supposed to build peace together with the donors and the governmental and non-governmental organizations.
當地和外國部隊的任務僅僅是與捐款人、政府和非政府組織一起建立起和平的秩序。
And people had hope, yes, but until they realized their situation worsens every day
人民有一些希望，但是當他們認識到他們的處境每日都在惡化，
either because they are being killed or because, somehow, they are poorer than eight years ago.
或許是被射殺，或許，變得比8年前更加貧窮。
One figure for that: 54 percent of the children under the age of five years suffer from malnutrition.
有一個數字能夠說明這種情況：五歲以下的兒童中有百分之五十四的人都飽受營養不良癥的折磨。
