有爱就有希望~ ^^再过几天就是情人节啦~ MINA也要勇敢说出爱哦~ First, Jean Wyllys is one of the few openly gay MPs in Brazil. A Brazilian news magazine has just named the 37-year-old as one of the people who will shake the world in 2012. The journalist and academic has long campaigned for gay rights in the country. He came to prominence in 2005 when he won the reality TV show Big Brother. He then went on to be elected as an MP for Rio de Janeiro. Jean grew up in a rural part of the state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil. When I spoke to him through a translator, he told me more about his childhood.
"My family was extremely, extremely poor. My father had drinking problems. He would drink a lot. He would work, painting cars, but it was really hard for him to get a permanent job. It would basically, a struggle to get some money for all of us. We waited for our father to come up with solutions, to come up with money to feed our family, but he would only come back home, drunk. So when I was ten years old, I had to go - work on the streets - just like my brother who was by then nine years old. I had to work on the streets, selling candyfloss and sometimes also calendars."
"And I believe you also found a creative outlet through your local church when you were a young boy."
"The church had a paramount role in my life. It helped me a lot to develop my own skills. My parents couldn't afford to buy any books or any sort of culture really. And it was through the church that I got involved with other forms of culture. I remember that every Saturday afternoon I would go to their library and spend a lot of time reading books. So it was also there that, for the first time, I managed to put my hands on a typewriter. So I would say that they definitely had a very important role in my life. They somehow made me the man that I am today."首先我们来看第一则新闻，让·威利斯是巴西寥寥可数的几位公开同性恋身份议员之一。一份巴西新闻杂志才刚把37岁的他拥入2012年将震撼世界的人之列。长期以来，这位记者兼学者一直在国内为同性恋权利奔走。2005年，当时他在真人秀节目Big Brother中胜出赢得大奖，由此一举成名。随后他被选为里约热内卢议员。让在巴西东北部巴伊亚州的乡村长大。我通过一位翻译对他进行采访，他告诉了我更多关于童年的事。
“我家非常非常贫穷。我父亲酗酒，他喝得很多。他也工作，给汽车上漆，但要找一份长期工作对他来说真的很难。基本上来说，要赚够全家人用的钱本来得费上九牛二虎之力。我们等着父亲来想办法，来赚点钱养家，可他只会醉醺醺地回来。所以十岁大的时候，我就不得不走上街头去干活——当时我弟弟才9岁，他也一样。我必须上街去赚钱，卖棉花糖，有时候也卖日历。”
“我想，还是个小男孩的你也通过当地的教堂找到了一个新奇的宣泄出口吧。”
“教堂在我的人生中的地位至高无上，在培养我自身的技能方面起了很大帮助。我的父母买不起书，其实任何和文化沾边的事他们都负担不起。我是通过教堂才得以涉足其他类型的文化。记得每个周六的下午我都会去教堂的图书馆，看很久的书。所以同样是在那里，我的双手第一次接触打字机。因此我要说，教堂在我生命中的作用十分重要。某种程度上来说，真是它们才成就了今天的我。” |
