A British film maker who 'married' a tribal warrior says she agreed to it to highlight the oil giants destroying his Amazon home. 英国一位电影制片人日前把自己“下嫁”到了土著部落，她表示自己同意与一位土著武士“成婚”是为了警醒世人，石油巨头企业正在摧毁土著人赖以生存的亚马逊家园。 Sarah Begum underwent the symbolic ritual aged just 21 after she left London to spend two weeks with the Huaroani tribe, which has 3,000 members in the mineral-rich Ecuadorian rainforest. 当时年仅21岁的莎拉·贝谷姆（Sarah Begum）参与了这场象征性的结婚仪式。此前，她离开伦敦远赴厄瓜多尔热带雨林，与居住在这块矿藏宝地上的3000名瓦欧达尼族（Huaroani）居民一起生活了两个星期。 Despite historically tense relations with outsiders dating to the 1950s, when five U.S. missionaries who tried to infiltrate the tribe were killed, she claimed she was welcomed with open arms. 上世纪50年代，五名试图进入该部落的美国传教士被处死，从此该部落与外界的关系颇为紧张。尽管如此，贝谷姆表示居民们是张开双臂来欢迎她的。 She learned how to weave with grasses and hunt with a blowpipe, and by the end of the period she had 'married' a warrior in his 50s named Ginkto - who spoke only the villagers' own Huaroani dialect and a few words of Spanish. |
