📰 Will the Taliban take Afghanistan back to the past?
🀄 塔利班會把阿富汗帶回過去嗎？
"Thanks to God you are come," shouted an old man as my colleagues and I marched into Kabul on 14 November 2001, battling our way through the joyful crowds.
📌 2001 年 11 月 14 日，當我和我的同事們走進喀布爾時，一位老人喊道：“感謝上帝，你來了。” ，我們在歡樂的人群中艱難跋涉。
The anti-Taliban(塔利班) forces of Afghanistan's Northern Alliance, which had the backing of the US and other Western countries, had halted(停止) on the city outskirts, and the Taliban had simply run for it.
Five years of the most extreme religious dictatorship(獨裁政府) in recent times were over. Under the Taliban, Afghanistan(阿富汗) had become a black hole in which all sorts of extremism(極端主義) could thrive(滋生).
📌 阿富汗的北方聯盟的反塔利班武裝得到美國等西方國家支持，在城郊停了下來，塔利班乾脆逃跑。最近五年最極端的宗教獨裁結束了。在塔利班統治下，阿富汗成為各種極端主義滋生的黑洞。
Only two months earlier the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington had been planned and guided by Osama Bin Laden and his al-Qaeda movement. It simply never occurred to me then that Taliban could make a comeback(捲土重來).
📌 就在兩個月前，對紐約和華盛頓的 9/11 襲擊是由奧薩馬·本·拉登和他的阿爾蓋達組織運動策劃和指導的。那時我根本沒想到塔利班會捲土重來。
The governments of Afghanistan's two post-Taliban presidents, Hamid Karzai and Ashraf Ghani, were democratically(民主地) elected but never strong, and corruption(腐敗) was the system which worked best.
Nevertheless President Ghani would still be in his palace and the army would be driving round in its expensive Western vehicles, if Donald Trump had not decided that he needed a foreign policy success before the 2020 election.
📌 阿富汗的兩位後塔利班總統哈米德·卡爾扎伊和阿什拉夫·加尼的政府是民主選舉產生的，但從不強大，腐敗是運作最好的制度。
儘管如此，如果唐納德川普沒有決定他需要在 2020 年大選之前取得外交政策的成功，加尼總統仍將在他的宮殿裡，軍隊將駕駛昂貴的西方車輛四處行駛。
Several Afghan politicians(政客) and journalists(記者) I know were horrified by the conclusion of the US talks with the Taliban political leadership in Doha in February 2020, and doubly so when President Joe Biden made it clear he was going to stick to it.
📌 我認識的幾位阿富汗政界人士和記者對 2020 年 2 月美國與塔利班政治領導人在多哈的會談結束感到震驚，而當喬·拜登總統明確表示他將堅持下去時，更是倍感震驚。
I was warned that no matter how moderate and peaceable the leaders in Doha might promise to be, the Taliban fighters on the ground would feel no compulsion(強迫) to observe the fine print.
And so it proved.
📌 我被警告說，無論多哈領導人承諾多麼溫和和平，地面上的塔利班戰士都不會被迫遵守細則。事實證明如此。
Directly after the US, British and other Western troops(軍隊) began pulling out(撤退), the Taliban fighters across Afghanistan made their play for power. Reports of prisoners being executed(被處決) brought an atmosphere of blind panic in one town after another, until Kabul itself succumbed(屈服) and officials and soldiers were battling(爭鬥) their way to the airport to get out.
📌 就在美英等西方軍隊開始撤軍後，阿富汗各地的塔利班武裝分子開始爭奪權力。囚犯被處決的報導在一個又一個城鎮引起了盲目恐慌的氣氛，直到喀布爾本身屈服，官員和士兵爭先恐後地趕往機場逃生。

While researchers around the world race to develop a coronavirus vaccine, more attention is being paid to an old anti-malarial drug as a possible treatment for the deadly disease. Following reports from doctors in France and Morocco that chloroquine was effective in reducing coronavirus symptoms, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the limited use of chloroquine and a form of the drug called hydroxychloroquine for doctors treating patients who have run out of other options.
當全球專家競相研發新型冠狀病毒疫苗之際，最近有越來越多人專注在一種既有的防瘧疾藥，此藥似乎是這個致死疾病的可能解藥。法國與摩洛哥醫生所提出的報告中指出，氯奎寧能有效減輕新冠肺炎的症狀，於是美國食藥署FDA授權醫生，在所有治療方法都無效的新冠患者身上方可使用氯奎寧，以及以此成分製成的羥氯奎寧。
First developed in the 1930s from the bark of the Chinchona tree, which is native to the Andes, chloroquine has long been used as an effective treatment for malaria. In recent years, it has also been used in the treatment of lupus and certain types of arthritis. But the drug can also cause serious side effects, like kidney and liver damage. When taken in the wrong dose, it can even cause death.
氯奎寧是1930年代從生長於安地斯山脈的金雞納樹樹皮提煉出來的，長久以來就用來有效治療瘧疾，近年也用來治療狼瘡與某些類型的關節炎。不過這種藥也可能導致嚴重的副作用，如腎或肝損傷。如果用錯劑量，甚至會致死。
U.S. health authorities are urging the public to be careful about taking chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine without a doctor’s supervision. This warning came after an Arizona man died after taking chloroquine phosphate, a non-medical form of chloroquine used to clean fish tanks. His wife, who also took the substance, remains in critical care. Nevertheless, chloroquine appears to show promise in treating the coronavirus, and clinical trials are taking place worldwide.
美國衛生當局呼籲，民眾需在醫生監督之下，才能使用氯奎寧與羥氯奎寧。一名亞利桑那州男性在食用氯奎寧磷酸鹽之後死亡，此物質是一種非醫療用途的氯奎寧，專門用來清理魚缸。此意外發生之後便發佈此項警告。這名死者的妻子也同樣攝入此物質，目前仍處危急狀況。儘管如此，氯奎寧似乎是目前治療新冠肺炎的一線曙光，且全球正在臨床試用中。
