Voice 1: A young child sits by the roadside. Her small hands rest in the dry dirt. She lifts the grains and watches them fall through her fingers. In her mind she can hear her mother's voice calling her. In her mind she can see her father working in the fields. But she knows that these images are only in her mind now. The young girl's mother and father are both dead. She is an orphan. For a minute, her brown eyes fill with tears. But her grandmother's voice stops her thoughts.
声音1：一个小女孩坐在路边。她的小手放在干土里。她抓起谷粒，看着这些谷粒从指缝间掉下去。她的脑海中可以听到她妈妈叫她的声音。她的脑海中还可以看到她爸爸在田地里干活的情景。可是他知道这些画面现在只存在在她的脑海里。这个小女孩父母双亡。她是孤儿。有那么一刻，她棕色的眼眸里噙满了泪水。这时她奶奶的声音打断了她的思绪。
'Coming Grandma', she says in her native language of Swahili.
她用母语斯瓦希里语说，“奶奶，过来。”
Voice 2: Each year the number of orphans caused by HIV/AIDS rises. Worldwide, over twenty million people have died from diseases connected to AIDS. HIV is the virus that causes the AIDS disease. AIDS destroys the body's natural defence system. This means it cannot fight infections or diseases. There is no cure for AIDS.
声音2：艾滋孤儿的人数每年都在上升。全世界已有2000余万人死于艾滋病相关疾病。人类免疫缺陷病毒是引发艾滋病的病毒。艾滋病会破坏人体的天然防御系统。这意味着人体不能再对抗感染和疾病。目前艾滋病没有治愈方法。
Voice 1: Adults suffer the most deaths from this disease. Many are mothers and fathers of young children. They are the workers of the land. They are the providers of food. They are the carers in the home. They are the carers and supporters of their parents. They are the 'working generation'. When they die, they leave the weaker members of the family behind — the children and the grandmothers.
声音1：艾滋病死者中成年人最多。大部分是小孩子的母亲和父亲。大部分人是农民，是食物提供者，是照顾家庭者。他们是父母的照顾者和支持者。他们是劳动力。他们死亡以后，留下了家庭中的弱者——孩子和祖母。
