“我醒来时感到困惑和痛苦”:克丽丝塔·派克描述死刑执行失败后的时刻在美国注射死刑中幸存的克丽丝塔·派克,事发后首次公开发声,称自己一直承受着身心的痛苦。

'I woke up confused and in pain': Christa Pike describes moments after botched execution Christa Pike, who survived an execution by lethal injection in the US, has spoken for the first time since the incident and said she is in constant physical and mental pain.

派克是一名已被定罪的谋杀犯,在死囚区关押了三十年。她原本应于9月30日在田纳西州被执行死刑,但在两次失败的行刑中幸存下来。

Pike, a convicted murderer on death row for three decades, was supposed to be put to death in Tennessee on 30 September but survived two botched attempts.

现年50岁的她被注射了两剂戊巴比妥,这是田纳西州执行死刑时使用的致死药物。她情况危急,被送往医院,接上呼吸机,之后恢复了意识。

The 50-year-old was given two doses of pentobarbital, a lethal drug used by the US state in executions. She was taken to hospital in a critical condition and placed on a ventilator, later regaining consciousness.

在一份向其法律团队口述的声明中,派克说,她走进里弗本德男子监狱的行刑室时“已经准备好赴死”,但几天后却在医院醒来,感到“困惑和痛苦”。“从那一夜起,我没有一刻不在疼痛之中,”她说。

In a statement dictated to her legal team, Pike said she walked into the execution chamber at Riverbend men's prison "prepared to die", but days later woke up in a hospital "confused and in pain". "There hasn't been a moment since that night when I haven't been in pain," she said. "My body hurts. My arms hurt. My hands hurt. My throat hurts.

“我的身体在痛。手臂在痛。双手在痛。喉咙在痛。我至今说话仍很吃力。而疼痛不只来自身体。我的心灵和灵魂也在痛。”

I still struggle to speak. And the pain isn't just physical. There is pain in my mind and in my soul.

“我从未想过那一夜之后的生活,那些失职行为让如此多的人陷入这般可怕的境地,我为此深感痛心。我一直在思念受害者家属,思念他们承受的巨大痛苦与损失。”她的律师此前表示,她的康复“堪称奇迹”,“在医学上史无前例”。派克说,她“正在恢复体力”,但“康复并不等于没事了”。

"I had not contemplated life beyond that night, and I'm deeply hurt by the incompetence that has put so many people in this terrible position. I continue to think about my victim's family and the terrible pain and loss they have endured." Her lawyers previously said her recovery was "against all odds" and "medically unprecedented". Pike said she was "getting stronger", but "healing is not the same as being okay".

她说,她“正在为发生的一切寻找意义”,并称赞了医护人员、她的法律团队以及“每一个为我奔走、站在我身边、不肯放弃我的人”。“我不知道自己为什么能在那一夜活下来,”她说。

She said she was "searching for meaning in what happened", and praised the medics, her legal team and "everyone who has fought for me, stood beside me and refused to give up on me". "I don't know why I survived that night," she said.

“我不知道接下来会发生什么。有些日子,找到希望比其他的日子更难。”

I don't know what comes next. Some days, finding hope is harder than others.

“目前,我正在努力疗愈,一天一天地过。”派克和她的男友塔达里尔·希普因在1995年于诺克斯维尔市的一处职业培训设施内折磨并杀害她们19岁的同学科琳·斯莱默而被判有罪。希普在犯罪时年仅17岁,被判处无期徒刑,有假释可能。

"For now, I am trying to heal, one day at a time." Pike and her boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, were convicted of torturing and killing Colleen Slemmer, a 19-year-old classmate of theirs, at a job training facility in the city of Knoxville in 1995. Shipp, who was 17 when the crime was committed, received a life sentence with the possibility of parole.

派克当时18岁,她不否认杀人,但她的支持者主张,州政府应考虑她作案时的年龄、精神疾病以及从童年时期就开始遭受的严重性虐待(包括强奸)史。

Pike, who was 18 at the time, does not deny the killing, but her supporters have argued the state should consider her age at the time, mental illness and a history of severe sexual abuse, including rape, beginning when she was a child.

她的律师称,案发后,派克被诊断患有双相情感障碍和创伤后应激障碍。她本将成为200多年来田纳西州首位被处决的女性。这是今年该州第二次执行死刑失败。

Following the killing, Pike was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, her lawyers said. She was set to be the first woman to be executed in Tennessee for more than 200 years. It was the second failed execution in the state this year.
