We spoke to one of President Ghani's senior advisers. His name is Daoud Sultanzoy.

我们采访了总统扎伊的一名高级顾问。他的名字是达伍德·苏坦佐伊。

Joining me now is Daoud Kuttab, director of Radio al Balad in Amman. Welcome to the program.

今天我们的节目请到了安曼电台Radio al Balad的负责人达乌德·库塔。欢迎做客节目。

Daoud Kuttab, he's director of Radio al Balad in Amman. Thanks so much for speaking with us.

达乌德·库塔是安曼电台Radio al Balad的负责人。非常感谢你做客我们的节目。

Daoud has been a darling of the Western media since the publication of his 2013 novel, The Meursault Investigation.

自2013年出版小说《默尔索调查》以来，达乌德一直是西方媒体的宠儿。

Daoud, one question people may be asking is why we're just hearing now about this murder that may have taken place a month ago.

达乌德，人们可能会问，为什么我们刚听说他被杀害，可是他可能一个月前就被杀了。

For many Algerians, Daoud has made a fatal trade-off – writing for foreign readers has won him success abroad and contempt at home.

对许多阿尔及利亚人来说，达乌德做了一个致命的权衡——为外国读者写作为他在国外赢得了成功，而在国内则受到了蔑视。

Boudjedra dismisses arguments such as Daoud's as " trafficked history" – the product of an inferiority complex in a people still struggling to emerge from the psychological bonds of colonisation.

布杰德拉将达乌德等人的论点斥为 " 被贩卖的历史" ——这是一个仍在努力摆脱殖民化心理束缚的民族的自卑情结的产物。

Boudjedra – an original thinker, avowed atheist and provocateur, and one of the rare writers who stayed and survived the black decade – has recently been sparring with another famous Algerian author, Kamel Daoud.

布杰德拉是一个原创性的思想家，公开的无神论者和挑衅者，也是在黑色十年中留下来并幸存下来的少数作家之一，最近一直在与另一位著名的阿尔及利亚作家卡迈勒-达乌德争论。

Both Boudjedra and Daoud wish to diagnose and rehabilitate an Algerian national identity, but they are more or less at war over how to carve out an intellectual space within which to do so.

布杰德拉和达乌德都希望诊断和恢复阿尔及利亚的民族身份，但他们或多或少地在如何开辟一个知识空间来做这件事上有分歧。
