Sarah Baartman, also known as Saartjie, was a South African woman who was born in the late 18th century. She was taken from her home as a young woman and displayed as a freak show attraction in Europe because of her large buttocks.
莎拉·巴特曼,也被称为萨拉杰,是南非的一个出生于18世纪末期的女人。她因为她的大臀部而被当作怪胎在欧洲展览上供人观赏。
Sarah was treated with cruelty and disrespect, and was put on display for the amusement of others. She was subjected to grotesque and degrading treatment, and was even dissected after her death in an attempt to study her body.
莎拉受尽残忍与失礼的对待,并在博物馆被展示观览。她遭受了非常荒唐怪诞的对待,甚至在她死后,身体被解剖用以研究。
Sarah's story is one of immense sadness and injustice, and it's difficult to read about her experiences without feeling a deep sense of outrage and sorrow. She was a victim of discrimination and objectification, and her treatment serves as a reminder of the deep-seated racism and misogyny that have plagued our society for far too long.
沙拉的悲剧充满了不公正行为,读它的故事很难不产生悲愤和伤痛的感情。她是歧视和物象化是受害者,她的经历也时刻提醒着人们种族主义已然根深蒂固地迫害者社会久已。
Sarah's story should be remembered and told, not only as a reminder of the horrors of the past, but also as a cautionary tale about the dangers of treating others with disrespect and dehumanizing them. It's a story that will surely bring tears to the eyes of anyone who hears it, and it serves as a powerful reminder of the need to stand up for justice and treat others with kindness and respect.
沙拉的故事应该被铭记并且传播,它不应该只是记录过去恐怖历史的墓碑,更应该是告诉人们对待他人莫要不尊重甚至失去人性的警戒线。莎拉的故事闻者落泪,使我们铭记,坚持正义,善待他人,尊敬他人。(尼玛,这编者是不是没词啊,来回全是renmind,respect)
