英国新闻听力 一个盛满回忆的炖锅（在线收听）

We are running a series called “A piece of home” devoted to people from around the world who’ve had to flee their homes at very short notice. And they talked about what items as they’ve chosen to take with them.

And my “piece of home” is my mother’s saucepan. From this cooking pot I could probably feed 15 people. In 1956 , in South Africa it was the beginning of the treason trial, which was something like 156 anti-apartheid activists were arrested and charged with treason. Among them were Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Albert Luthuli and the other big names. And they were put on trial in Pretoria which is where we lived. And there was no provision for them to be fed. She used to often pick me up on the way to the court. And we would go to the courthouse and we would feed the people who were on trial. So I was, I mean, in 1956, I was 11. I miss South Africa every day, every day of my life. I left South Africa in 1962. It was very quick because one week I was in South Africa and not thinking about leaving, and the next week I was on a plane toEngland. And my parents followed a year later after my father had been interviewed by the Special Branch. My parents had decided earlier that I should leave, because they were, apartheid governed were starting toarrest students who were active. And they were very worried about the possibility of me being in jail. When I left, it was really really awful. I hated leaving. I didn’t think I’d ever been allowed to go back. I didn’t have time to say goodbye to anyone. Sally, stop barking. We have a very large extended family. And I always think about my mother and about those days and about really quiet a little girl.

我们正在做一期节目，叫“家中一物”，邀请世界各地那些曾经不得不迅速离开家的人，讲述他们当时选择携带的物品。

我的“家中一物”是我母亲的炖锅，用这个锅我可以煮15个人的饭。1956年，南非开始进行叛国罪审判。约有156名反种族隔离的活动者因叛国罪被拘禁，其中不乏大名鼎鼎的人物，包括纳尔逊·曼德拉、沃尔特·西苏鲁和艾伯特·卢图利等人。这些人在我们的居住地比勒陀利亚受审，他们没有东西吃。我的母亲常常在去法院的路上接上我，一起去法院给那些受审的人送食物。1956年，我11岁。我这辈子每天都在思念南非。1962年，我离开了南非。很突然，这一周还在南非，而且也没想过要离开，下一周就坐上了去往英国的飞机。一年后，政治保安处和我父亲面谈，我的父母随之也来到了英国。他们早就认为我应该离开，因为种族隔离者已经开始逮捕活跃的学生了，他们很担心我入狱。离开的时候，我十分难受，很不想走。我想我不会再被批准回来了。我甚至没有时间跟任何人告别。萨利，别叫了。我们的家族很庞大，我经常会怀念我的母亲，怀念那些日子和那个十分安静的小女孩。
