女性应重视自己的价值，不做低到尘埃里的花朵。
Women should value their own value, don't be flowers as low as dust.
——题记Preface
阿富汗裔作家卡勒德·胡塞尼偏爱描写十二三岁的孩子，这和他自身在相同年龄时跟随外交官父亲去法国居住，开始背井离乡的生活的童年经历有关。在他看来，这是一个孩童逐渐向成人世界接近的年纪，一个即将失去无辜与单纯的年纪，一个处于“失”之边缘的年纪，而“失去”正是其所有故事的主题之一。“失”将人们分散，又将人们联系在一起。他对于战争、人性的刻画十分细致，在其三部知名作品《追风筝的人》、《灿烂千阳》、《群山回唱》中，对主角的心理变化以及战争下人物命运的描写让人印象深刻。而在灿烂千阳里，作者用细腻感人的笔触，将两位在战火纷飞、男尊女卑的社会背景下，忍受命运，反抗命运的女性角色刻画得淋漓尽致。
Afghan writer Khaled Husseni prefers to describe children of twelve or thirteen years old, this may because of his own experience in childhood when he migrated to France due to his father's job as a diplomat. In his view, this age is of a child who are approaching the adult world, and is about to lose innocence. It's an age on the verge of loss, which is also one of the themes of all his stories. Loss disperses people but also ties them together. His depiction of war and human nature is very detailed. In his three famous works, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, And the Mountains Echoed, he describes the psychological changes and the fate of the protagonists under the war very well. In the A Thousand Splendid Suns, he portrays two female characters who stand and resist fate in the social background of the war and the inferiority of men and women in a exquisite and touching way.
我曾阅读过胡塞尼的《追风筝的人》与《灿烂千阳》两部作品，现在我选择其中后者作为我本次品析的对象，不是说该作品优于另一部，而是出于其中对女性人格以及命运的描写让同位女性的我更有感触的缘由。
I've read two of Husseni's works, The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, and now I choose the latter as the object of my analysis. Not to say that it's superior to the other, but because of the description of these women's personality and fate really touched me.
故事围绕着战时阿富汗背景下，两位命运各不相同，又命运般地相遇相识相互扶持的女性的故事，而我也想从这两位主人公入手，来书写我对这个文章的感受。
The story is set in wartime Afghanistan and it is about two women with completely different fates met each other then supported each other. I also want to explain my feeling to this book starting with the two protagonists.ll
1.玛丽雅姆——非法的存在，合法的死亡。
Mariam, illegal existence, lawful death .
玛丽雅姆有两个名字，“玛丽雅姆”，以及“哈拉米”——私生子。比起前一个名字，后一个似乎更为人熟知，更让人印象深刻。因为母亲是一个低下的仆人，哪怕她是家主的女儿，最终也只落得一个和母亲离群索居，住在简陋的泥屋里。文中用了非常细致的心理描写，从孩童的视角出发，展现世界。其中比较经典的便是玛丽雅姆心中对“父亲”的情感的变化，最初，她以为父亲是爱她愿意为她奉献一切的，直到她为他做出人生第一次“叛逆”，逃出家去见他，最后被强制嫁给，或者我们可以说，送给，粗鲁的鞋匠拉希德，一个典型的阿富汗男权主义者。从此以后，留给玛丽雅姆的生活，只剩下悲惨，家暴、流产、禁锢，让她终于学会了母亲教她的话“女人只需要学会一样本领，那就是忍耐”，一直一直，万事忍耐，直到遇见本书另一位主角——翁莱拉，从陌生到熟悉，从敌视到扶持，她最终为了莱拉，做出了人生第二次“叛逆”——杀死了她的丈夫。最终，就像书中描写的那样，“玛丽雅姆最后一次听从了别人，她跪了下去，闭上双眼”。这个“非法”的阿拉米终于迎来了一个“合法”的结局。
Mariam had two names, Mariam, and Harami, the illegitimate child, and the latter seems to be more familiar and impressive than the previous one. For her mother was a humble servant, even if she was the daughter of the master of the house, she could only live in an isolated mud house with her mother. The author used a very detailed psychological description to show the world from the perspective of children. And the change in Mariam's feelings towards her "father" from unconditional trust and vision to disappointment after seeing the truth was also so classic. She used to believe that her father loved her and was willing to give her everything until she made the first "rebellion" of her life, fled to see him but eventually forced to marry, or we could say sent, to Rachid who was a rude shoemaker, a typical Afghan patriarchal, she even knew that her father was a coward. From then on, the rest of Mariam's life was left with misery, domestic violence, miscarriage and confinement, which made her learned what her mother had taught her, "Women only need to learn one skill, that is patience." at an easy rate. Fortunately she met the other protagonist in this book, Laila. From strangers to acquaintances, from hostility to support, she found her own sunshine and she at last made her second "rebellion" for Leila, to kill her husband. About her ending, as the book described, "Mariam listened to others for the last time. She knelt down and closed her eyes." This "illegal" Alami finally received a "legal" end.
2.翁莱拉——战火中倔强生存的花儿
Laila, the flower of stubbornness in the war .
相较于玛丽雅姆，莱拉的童年直到少女时光，都太过于幸福了，和睦的家庭，体面的生活，还有青梅竹马，这朵“夜美人”承接着爱长大，却被无情的战火撕扯得支离破碎。我们万万没有想到的是，想要破坏一个家庭，只需要一颗冰冷的炸弹，物是人非。家人不再，爱人也被迫远离，为了保护自己，以及怀中的孩子，嫁给了拉希德。在和玛丽雅姆朝夕相处的过程中，她认识到了一个饱受折磨的女人千疮百孔的心灵，决定与其共同努力，生存下去。可惜，最终她也没能拯救这可怜的人，万幸的是，她生存了下来，找到了自己失散的爱人，缅怀着玛丽雅姆，活了下去。至少因为她，玛丽雅姆，这个阿拉米，继续存在于这个世上，以另一种方式。
Compared to Mariam, Laila's childhood and teenage years were too happy, a harmonious family, a decent life, and dear lover. The night beauty grew up with love, but was torn apart by the merciless flames of war. We would never believe that to destroy a family only needs a simple cold bomb. Her families all dead, her lover was forced away, to protect herself and the children unborn she had to marry Rachid. In the process of getting along with Mariam, she understood the heart of a tortured woman and decided to work with her to survive. Unfortunately, she failed to save this poor woman. Fortunately, she survived and found her lost lover. At least because of her, Mariam, this Alami, continued to exist in this world, in another way.
文章里每写到拉希德虐待两位妻子时，总会让人心里不由自主地揪紧，仿佛感同身受。或许正是因为作者本人曾真切地经历过，才能将画面描绘地如此真实，切肤之痛，如此深刻。有时，人对于痛苦的感受总是强于快乐，灿烂千阳就是这样，把一个你未曾了解的残酷世界，血淋淋地残酷在面前，像一副跨越三十年的长画卷，徐徐展开，刻苦铭心。但我们看到的不止是苦痛，如书中所说，“人们数不清她的屋顶上有多少轮皎洁的明月，也数不清她的墙壁之后那一千个灿烂的太阳。”对于战火中的阿富汗来说，玛丽雅姆与莱拉之间的情感，便是那能够冲破阴霾的一万束阳光，那不仅仅是女性意识的觉醒，更是时代之下，超越肉体，灵魂永存的羁绊，从那以后，一切都将春暖花开。
Every time when author writes about how Rachid tortures his two wives, I feel so painful like I am experiencing the same thing. Perhaps it is because the author himself has experienced it so that he could depict the picture so truthfully, painfully and profoundly. People's feeling of pain is always stronger than happiness, such as in A Thousand Splendid Suns, it shows a cruel world we have never known, like a long picture across 30 years, slowly spreads out in front of you. However, we can see more than pain, as the book says, "One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roof, and the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls." For war-torn Afghanistan, the relationship between Mariam and Leila is the thousands beams of sunlight that can break through the haze. It is not just the awakening of women's consciousness, but also something beyond the body, an eternal soul. From then on, everything will be just as good as flowers blossom in the warm spring.
