DARKNESS" was a word Lyn Lusi was used to.
Western journalists instinctively（本能地） reached for it when they came to her hospital in Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Joseph Conrad's " heart of darkness" . Goma（葛马镇） itself was a black and grey place, a town built on volcanic basalt（玄武岩） tough as broken glass through which green shoots（初绿的萌芽） struggled to grow. She knew; she gardened in it. But the real heart of darkness, Mrs Lusi would say quietly, was man's heart. The proof lay all about her. Congo was a rich country, but its minerals（矿产） were swapped by local strongmen for weapons, or stripped away（剥夺） by corporations who left the people in poverty. It was ostensibly（表面上） at peace, after years of warfare in which millions had died。
西方记者在约瑟夫·康拉德（Joseph Conrad）的“黑暗之心”位于刚果民主共和国戈马的医院里时，本能地想到了“黑暗”这个词。西方记者本能地做到了这一点。她知道；她在其中的花园里种植了坚硬的火山玄武岩，像碎玻璃一样挣扎着穿过它的小镇，但绿意盎然，但卢西太太低声说，真正的黑暗之心是男人的心。刚果是一个富裕的国家，但其矿产却被当地的强人交换来换取武器，或被那些使人民陷入贫困的公司所剥夺，表面上是和平的，经过多年战争，数百万人丧生。

But remnants（残余） of militias（民兵） still haunted（反复常去） the forests, preying（劫掠） on the villages. So much evil. So much selfishness. In this vast, damaged, neglected place her husband Jo, a Congolese（刚果人） and, like her, an ardent（热心的） Baptist（浸信会）, was the only orthopaedic（整形的） surgeon（外科医生） for 8m people. He alone had the skill to mend the crushed（压碎的） arms, the crooked feet（弯曲的）. Irrepressible（无法压制的）as he was, bubbling over（充斥着） with plans, he often used the image of a little bucket（水桶） bailing out（救援） an ocean. She preferred the words of Isaiah（以赛亚书） 61:1: " The Lord hath sent me… to bind up（画抓捕） the brokenhearted（极度伤感的）." Their hospital at Goma had been set up in 2000 to train young Congolese doctors. Two years later the building was destroyed by a volcano; they built it again, low brightly painted buildings behind battered（破损的） metal gates, and called it HEAL Africa。
但是民兵的残余仍然在森林中unt绕，掠夺村庄。如此邪恶。太自私了在这个辽阔，受损，被忽视的地方，她的丈夫乔（刚果人）和像她一样的热心浸信会（Baptist）一样，是唯一能容纳800万人的整形外科医师。仅他一个人就可以修理被压伤的手臂，弯曲的脚。像他那样顽强不羁，不时冒充计划，他经常用一个小桶拯救大海的形象。她更喜欢以赛亚书61：1的话：“耶和华差遣我……捆绑那些伤心的人。”他们在戈马的医院成立于2000年，目的是培训年轻的刚果医生。两年后，这座建筑被一座火山摧毁；他们又重新建造了这座大楼，在破烂的金属门后面盖上色彩鲜艳的低矮建筑，并称其为“治疗非洲”

By 2011 they had trained 30 doctors there, often with the help of students from American medical schools. Yet the hospital became most famous for something different. Hundreds of the patients were women with genital（生殖器官） fistulas（瘘管）, or tears: some caused by childbirth（分娩）, but a startling（令人吃惊的） number the result of rape by militiamen（民兵）. This, too, was hidden in darkness. Mrs Lusi was unaware of it until 2002, when a sobbing（啜泣的） young woman came to her office. She realised then that horrific（可怕的） sexual violence was taking place in every village round Goma.
Women working in the fields, or girls as young as five walking back from the market, would be abducted（拐卖） and raped repeatedly（反复的）. Sticks（棍棒） and guns were forced into their vaginas（阴道）. Sometimes the guns were fired. The brutalised（受到残忍对待的） victims, once home, would often be diso
