玛利亚，你把大家宠坏了
Maria. you are spolling us.
听说妳回来我就把烤洋芋份量加大

故事美在鸟
The beauty in that story is in the allegory of the bird…
是个喻体
it represents freedom.
哪门子的自♥由♥？
What kind of freedom?
政♥治♥自♥由♥
Political freedom.
好在黑人不懂得写作要领
Fortunately for us. Blacks can’t grasp allegorical writing.
一起来祷告吧！
Shall we pray?
主啊，谢谢您赐给我们这一餐
Lord. we thank you for what we are about to receive.
以基♥督♥之名，阿们
in Jesus’ name. Amen.
阿们
Amen.
闻起来好香啊
Smells good.
斑羚肉，亚伯拉罕亲自猎来的
It’s Rooibok. Abraham shot it himself.
博士真心觉得黑人都是笨蛋？
Dr. Jonker. you don’t honestly believe Black people are stupid.
真的吗？
do you?
该说普遍智能低下
Intellectually inferior.
言下之意是说南非白人品种较优？
So. by implication you regard the Afrikaner as a superior race…?
我们是尊神的旨意来领导这国家
We were chosen by God to lead this country.
「血河之战」证明了一切
Blood River proved that.
纳粹也花了不少功夫
The Nazis paid dearly
证明自己优越
for their presumption of being a superior race.

她在旧屋里，老爷
She’s in her old room. Baas.
我不是故意要找妳碴
I didn’t mean to upset you. Ingrid.
你根本以找我碴为乐
You take pleasure in upsetting me.
彼此彼此，不是吗？
It’s mutual. wouldn’t you say?
我写书献给你
I dedicated my book to you
