美国已停止资助阿富汗最后一所仍为女性提供受教育机会的大学。这发生在塔利班于2021年重新掌权之后。德国之声采访了一名学生，她表示已对获得学位失去了希望。
The US has defunded the last university giving Afghan women the opportunity to receive an education after the Taliban takeover in 2021. DW spoke with a student who says she's lost hope of ever earning a degree.
塔利班禁止女性上大学后，学生们转向在线课程。“莱拉”（化名）半夜醒来想喝水，几乎是无意中查看了手机，看到一封让她心惊胆战的邮件。美国将停止资助阿富汗美国大学（AUAF），这是该国女性仍可求学的最后几个地方之一。
After the Taliban banned women from attending university, students turned to online classes "Laila" awoke in the middle of the night for a glass of water, checked her phone almost by accident, and saw an email that made her stomach drop. The US would stop funding the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF), one of the last places women can still study in the country.
莱拉说，她坐在床上发呆，思绪飞速闪回过去五年，以及她为求学所忍受的一切。
Laila said she sat on her bed, staring, her thoughts racing through the past five years and everything she had endured just to get an education.
在塔利班取缔女性教育后，在阿富汗寻找求学途径并不容易。美国大学的校园已被塔利班接管，但她仍可通过该校的在线项目秘密学习。但现在大学失去资金支持，她对德国之声表示，她和同学们担心学校将彻底关闭。为安全起见，文中使用化名。
It had not been easy to find a way to study in Afghanistan after the Taliban outlawed women's education The American University campus was already taken over by the Taliban, but she could study secretly through the university's online program. But now that the university is losing its financing, she told DW she and her classmates fear it will shut down entirely. Her name has been changed for safety reasons.
阿富汗女孩秘密求学以规避塔利班禁令 观看视频 ，以及 阿富汗女性的隐秘教育 莱拉二十多岁，主修政治学和国际研究，是该校约1000名在校学生之一，其中四分之三为女性。
In Afghanistan, girls study in secret to skirt Taliban ban To view this video , and A hidden education for women in Afghanistan Laila is in her mid-twenties. She studies political science and international studies and is one of around 1,000 enrolled students at the university, three-quarters of them women.
当塔利班于2021年8月重掌大权时，莱拉正在喀布尔另一所大学就读，只剩两门期末考试即可完成该学期学业。随后，2022年12月，塔利班宣布禁令，莱拉的学业被迫中断。
When the Taliban returned to power in August 2021, Laila was studying at another university in Kabul, with just two final exams remaining to finish her semester. Then, in December 2022, the Taliban announced the ban Laila's degree was left unfinished.
莱拉获得奖学金进入阿富汗美国大学，重新开始。“并非每个女孩都能获得那样的机会，”她说。
Laila secured a scholarship to AUAF and started over. "Not every girl got that opportunity," she said.
莱拉极少向家人以外的人透露她在网上学习的事。大多数日子里，她都待在家里上远程课，同学们都用化名且关闭摄像头以保安全。“我只认识他们的声音，”她说。
Laila has told few people outside of her family about her online studies. On most days, she stays home for remote lectures, alongside classmates who use aliases and keep their cameras off for security. "I just know their voices," she said.
莱拉说一口美式英语。小时候看动画片学会的。二十出头时，她对阿富汗以外的世界了解得更多，还在研究外国政府。
Laila speaks English with an American accent. She learned it as a child, watching cartoons. In her early twenties, she was learning even more about the world outside Afghanistan and studying foreign governments.
2021年8月14日，莱拉的生活发生了改变。她和一位朋友坐在喀布尔一家餐厅里。她们刚考完试，想点咖啡和蛋糕庆祝通过考试。突然，一个男人走了进来，停在门口，高喊“真主至大”。他大叫圣战者将永远胜利。
Then on August 14, 2021, Laila's life changed. She and a friend sat in a restaurant in Kabul. They had just finished an exam and wanted to celebrate passing the test by ordering coffee and cake. Suddenly, a man came in, stopped at the entrance, and shouted "Allahu Akbar." He yelled that the mujahideen would always be victorious.
那天塔利班重掌阿富汗大权，随后他们强迫女性退出公共生活，禁止女性从事许多工作、上学和上大学。
That was the day the Taliban retook power in Afghanistan, they soon forced women out of public life banning them from many jobs and from attending school and university.
流亡阿富汗特使仍为妇女权利奔走呼吁 莱拉回忆说，她感到手脚失去了知觉。她从钱包里掏出钱，没数金额就重重拍在桌上。“我们都以为也许这是我们活着的最后一天，”她说。
Exiled Afghanistan envoy still advocating for women's rights Laila said she recalls losing feeling in her hands or feet. She pulled money from her purse and slammed it on the table without checking the amount. "We all thought maybe this would be the last day that we are alive," she said.
从那以后，莱拉的一些同龄人收到了威胁电话和短信。现在，她每次出门都担心塔利班当局会检查她的手机。
Since then, some of Laila's peers have received threatening calls and messages. Now, whenever she leaves home, she worries that Taliban authorities might search her phone.
“要是他们看到了我的工作邮件、大学邮件怎么办？”她说。“我总担心也许明天就轮到我了。也许他们会拘留我。”连家里也不安全。莱拉说塔利班当局曾多次闯入搜查他们的财物。
"What if they see my emails from my work, from my university?" she said. "It's always in the back of my head that maybe tomorrow it's my turn. Maybe they will detain me." Even her home isn't safe. Laila said Taliban authorities have entered on several occasions to search their belongings.
尽管如此，她仍坚持学习。尽管有种种限制和风险，这个网课项目给了她一个毕业的机会。
Yet, she has continued studying. For all its limitations and risks, the online program offered a chance to graduate.
阿富汗“未来领袖”的一席之地 随着美国作为大学主要资助方撤资，莱拉说她怀疑自己是否还有力气重新开始。
A place for Afghanistan's 'future leaders' With the US pulling out as the university's primary funder, Laila said she doubts whether she has the strength to start over.
阿富汗美国大学最初主要面向女性。在该校园于2006年开放之前，美国前第一夫人劳拉·布什宣布，美国已承诺投入数百万美元予以支持。
The American University of Afghanistan was always intended, largely, for women Before the campus opened in 2006, former US first lady Laura Bush announced that the US had committed millions to support it.
布什在喀布尔出席活动时表示，这所新大学将培养“未来领袖”，尤其是女性。像莱拉这样的女性，当时她年仅四岁。
Appearing in Kabul, Bush said the new university would teach "future leaders," particularly women. Women like Laila, who was four years old at the time.
布什当时说：“这些不仅仅是发展项目。它们也象征着美国和阿富汗人民之间的纽带。它们是我们共同希望和梦想的象征。”帕特里克·法因曾任美国国际开发署（USAID，现已解散的美国发展援助机构）阿富汗任务主管。法因告诉德国之声，USAID内部许多人认为建立这所大学的想法风险很大。批评者认为培养精英是浪费金钱。但布什政府看到了稳定一个初生民主国家的机会，法因说。
"These are more than just development projects," Bush said at the time. "They also signify the bond between the American and Afghan people. They are symbols of our shared hopes and dreams." Patrick Fine was Afghanistan mission director at USAID, the now-defunct American development agency Fine told DW that many at USAID considered the university idea risky. Critics thought training elites was a waste of money. But the Bush administration saw an opportunity to stabilize a budding democracy, Fine said.
到2003年，塔利班已被赶下台。美国总统乔治·W·布什希望为取代塔利班的美国支持的临时政府培养善意。这所大学服务于这一目标，同时在教育女性、培养未来政治家和支持阿富汗经济方面也提供了其他“优势层面”。
By 2003, the Taliban had been driven from power. US President George W. Bush wanted to foster goodwill for the US-backed interim government that had replaced the Taliban. The university served that goal, and also offered other "facets of advantage" in educating women, training future politicians, and supporting the Afghan economy.
法因提到校友时说：“它真正影响了成千上万阿富汗青年的生活。该组织在难以置信的逆境中设法实现了这一点。” 五年塔利班统治如何改变了阿富汗 华盛顿切断资金 该大学在美方支持下继续运营。但在华盛顿，这种支持开始受到质疑。
"It really impacted the lives of thousands of Afghan youth," Fine said, referencing alumni. "The organization has managed to achieve that against incredible odds." How 5 years of Taliban rule have changed Afghanistan Washington pulls the plug The university continued with US support. But in Washington, that support started to come under question.
美国政府怀疑该大学资金管理不善。2016年，美国监察机构对其财务展开调查。到2018年，调查人员表示，由于其会计核算极其混乱，他们无法确切判断该校如何花费美国援助资金。
The US government suspected the university of mishandling money. In 2016, US inspectors opened an investigation into its finances. By 2018, investigators said they could not tell exactly how it was spending US aid money, because its accounting was so poor.
约翰·索普科（John Sopko），前美国联邦检查员，负责监督该调查。当《德国之声》就此报道联系他时，他回复道：“我很惊讶他们仍在为阿富汗美国大学（AUAF）提供资金。”
John Sopko, a former US federal inspector, oversaw that investigation. When DW contacted him for this story, he replied, "I was surprised they were still funding AUAF."
今年，在资金被撤回后，美国国务院新闻办公室在一封电子邮件中告诉《德国之声》，此举是基于该大学“屡次未对数百万美国纳税人资金负责的历史”。美国国际开发署前局长弗恩（Fine）驳斥了国务院的欺诈说法。
This year, after the funding was pulled, the US State Department Press Office told DW in an email that the move was made given the university's "history of repeated lack of accountability for millions of American taxpayer dollars." Fine, the former USAID director, rejected the State Department's fraud explanation.
“那只是抹黑手段，”他说。他承认过去的审计发现该大学在遵守美国国际开发署（USAID）繁复规定方面举步维艰，“但审计并未发现重大欺诈”，他说。
"Those are just smear tactics," he said. He conceded that past audits found the university struggling to keep up with USAID's extensive rules, "but they didn't find major fraud," he said.
“这仍然是一项有价值的投资，”弗恩说，“原因在于它是为数不多的仍能触及阿富汗女性的组织之一。”美国并非该大学唯一的资助方，但长期以来它承担了大部分费用：根据美国一份报告，2018年时约占90%。
"It is still a useful investment, a worthy investment," Fine said, "and the reason for that is that it's one of the few organizations left that is reaching Afghan women." The US isn't the university's only funder, but it has long covered most of its costs: nearly 90% as of 2018, according to a US report.
美国国务院告诉《德国之声》，该大学“可以自行寻找其他资助者和合作伙伴”，因此停止接受美国纳税人资金并不一定意味着其运营终止。但若没有最近被拒绝的2500万美元拨款，该大学的前景仍存疑。阿富汗女性学生的下一步将何去何从？
The US State Department told DW that the university is "free to identify other funders and partners, so the end of their receipt of American taxpayer money does not necessarily equate to an end to their operations." But without the $25 million grant the State Department recently refused, the university's future is in doubt. What is next for women students in Afghanistan?
“我已经失去了所有的动力和希望，”莱拉（Laila）说，并补充说每次准备上课时，她都会想是否还会有下一堂课。
"I have lost all my motivation and hope," Laila said, adding that each time she prepares for a lecture, she wonders whether there will be another.
自从得知资金被削减后，她说自己几乎不离开房间。窗帘常常紧闭，食欲也消失了。“也许我失望得太深，甚至哭不出来，”她说。
Since she learned about the funding cut, she said she's barely left her room. Her curtains are usually closed, and she's lost her appetite. "Maybe I'm so disappointed that I can't even cry about it," she said.
她说自己本应早已毕业，本应在让世界变得更好，本应在国外攻读硕士学位。现在，她在想，也许五年或十年后她还能找到出路。
She said she was supposed to have graduated years ago. She was supposed to be making the world a better place. She was supposed to be in studying a master's degree abroad. Now, she's thinking, maybe she'll find a way in five or ten years.
