Heathrow Airport is one of the few places in England you can be sure of seeing a gun. These guns are carried by policemen in short-sleeved shirts and black flak-jackets, alert for terrorists about to blow up Tie-Rack. They are unlikely to confront me directly, but if they do I shall tell them the truth. I shall state my business. I’m planning to stop at Heathrow Airport until I see someone I know. (...)
Astonishingly, I wait for thirty-nine minutes and don’t see one person I know. Not one, and no-one knows me. I’m as anonymous as the drivers with their universal name-cards (some surnames I know), except the drivers are better dressed. Since the kids, whatever I wear looks like pyjamas. Coats, shirts, T-shirts, jeans, suits; like slept-in pyjamas. (...)
I hear myself thinking about all the people I know who have let me down by not leaving early on a Tuesday morning for glamorous European destinations. My former colleagues from the insurance office must still be stuck at their desks, like I always said they would be, when I was stuck there too, wasting my time and unable to settle while Ally moved steadily onward, getting her PhD and her first research fellowship at Reading University, her first promotion.
Our more recent grown-up friends, who have serious jobs and who therefore I half expect to be seeing any moment now, tell me that home-making is a perfectly decent occupation for a man, courageous even, yes, manly to stay at home with the kids. These friends of ours are primarily Ally’s friends. I don’t seem to know anyone anymore, and away from the children and the overhead planes, hearing myself think, I hear the thoughts of a whinger. This is not what I had been hoping to hear.
I start crying, not grimacing or sobbing, just big silent tears rolling down my cheeks. I don’t want anyone I know to see me crying, because I’m not the kind of person who cracks up at Heathrow airport some nothing Tuesday morning. I manage our house impeccably, like a business. It’s a serious job. I have spreadsheets to monitor the hoover-bag situation and colour-coded print-outs about the ethical consequences of nappies. I am not myself this morning. I don’t know who I am. | Translation - Indonesian
Bandara Heathrow adalah satu dari tidak banyak tempat di Inggris di mana Anda dapat melihat senjata api. Senjata-senjata api ini dibawa oleh para polisi yang berpakaian lengan pendek dan memakai jaket anti-peluru berwarna hitam, bersiap siaga menghadapi teroris yang mau meledakkan toko Tie-Rack. Memang kecil kemungkinan mereka akan mengkonfrontasi saya secara langsung, namun kalau mereka melakukannya, saya akan memberitahukan yang sebenarnya. Saya akan memberitahukan apa yang saya lakukan. Saya merencanakan untuk berhenti di Bandara Heathrow sampai bertemu dengan seseorang yang saya kenal. (…)
Yang luar biasa, saya menunggu selama tiga puluh sembilan menit dan tidak melihat seorang yang saya kenal. Tidak seorangpun yang saya kenal dan mengenali saya. Saya sama tidak dikenalnya dengan para supir dengan papan nama mereka yang seragam (beberapa nama keluarga saya kenali), kecuali bahwa para supir tsb. berpakaian lebih bagus. Sejak kanak-kanak, apa saja yang saya kenakan kelihatan seperti piyama. Jaket, kemeja, kaos, jins, jas; kelihatan seperti piyama yang sudah dipakai tidur. (…)
Saya mendengar diri saya memikirkan kenalan-kenalan yang telah mengecewakan saya karena tidak berangkat lebih awal pada hari Selasa pagi ke tempat-tempat yang wah di Eropah. Mantan rekan-rekan kerja saya dari kantor asuransi pastilah masih lengket di meja-meja mereka, seperti yang saya sudah katakan, waktu saya juga masih begitu, menghabiskan waktu saya tanpa tujuan, sementara Ally terus bergerak maju dengan mantap, meraih gelar PhDnya dan beasiswa penelitian yang pertama di Universitas Reading, naik pangkatnya yang pertama.
Teman-teman kami lainnya yang baru beranjak dewasa, yang memiliki pekerjaan yang serius dan oleh karenanya saya setengah berharap untuk bisa temui sekarang ini, memberitahu saya bahwa tinggal di rumah adalah pekerjaan yang sama sekali tidak ada jeleknya bagi seorang pria, bahkan termasuk sesuatu yang penuh keberanian, bahkan jantan untuk bisa tinggal di rumah dengan anak-anak. Teman-teman kami ini pada umumnya adalah teman-teman Ally. Saya sepertinya tidak mengenal siapapun lagi, dan terpisah dari anak-anak serta pesawat yang lewat di atas kepala, saya mendengar pikiran saya sendiri, saya mendengar pikiran seorang tukang ngomel. Ini bukanlah sesuatu yang saya ingin dengarkan.
Saya mulai menangis, bukan tersedu sedan atau terisak-isak, hanya airmata yang mengalir dengan senyap di pipi saya. Saya tidak mau seorangpun mengetahui bahwa saya menangis, karena saya bukan tipe orang yang hancur berantakan pada hari Selasa pagi yang tidak ada artinya di Bandara Heathrow. Saya mengatur rumah kami dengan sempurna, seperti sebuah perusahaan. Itu adalah sebuah pekerjaan yang serius. Saya mempunyai lembar lajur untuk memantau situasi kantong mesin pengisap debu dan kertas-kertas yang ditandai dengan berbagai warna mengenai konsekwensi etis dari popok. Saya lain sekali pagi ini. Saya tidak tahu siapakah saya.

Winters used to be cold in England. We, my parents especially, spent them watching the wrestling. The wrestling they watched on their black-and-white television sets on Saturday afternoons represented a brief intrusion of life and colour in their otherwise monochrome lives. Their work overalls were faded, the sofa cover—unchanged for years—was faded, their memories of the people they had been before coming to England were fading too. My parents, their whole generation, treadmilled away the best years of their lives toiling in factories for shoddy paypackets. A life of drudgery, of deformed spines, of chronic arthritis, of severed hands. They bit their lips and put up with the pain. They had no option but to. In their minds they tried to switch off—to ignore the slights of co-workers, not to bridle against the glib cackling of foremen, and, in the case of Indian women, not to fret when they were slapped about by their husbands. Put up with the pain, they told themselves, deal with the pain—the shooting pains up the arms, the corroded hip joints, the back seizures from leaning over sewing machines for too many years, the callused knuckles from handwashing clothes, the rheumy knees from scrubbing the kitchen floor with their husbands' used underpants.
When my parents sat down to watch the wrestling on Saturday afternoons, milky cardamon tea in hand, they wanted to be entertained, they wanted a laugh. But they also wanted the good guy, just for once, to triumph over the bad guy. They wanted the swaggering, braying bully to get his come-uppance. They prayed for the nice guy, lying there on the canvas, trapped in a double-finger interlock or clutching his kidneys in agony, not to submit. If only he could hold out just a bit longer, bear the pain, last the course. If only he did these things, chances were, wrestling being what it was, that he would triumph. It was only a qualified victory, however. You'd see the winner, exhausted, barely able to wave to the crowd. The triumph was mainly one of survival. | Translation - Indonesian
Musim dingin di Inggris biasanya dingin. Kami, khususnya orangtua saya, melewatkan musim dingin dengan menonton gulat. Olahraga gulat yang mereka saksikan di televisi hitam putih mereka pada hari-hari Sabtu sore merupakan selingan singkat yang mewarnai kehidupan mereka yang tanpa warna. Baju kerja mereka sudah pudar, kain penutup sofa – yang selama bertahun-tahun tidak pernah diganti – sudah pudar, kenangan mereka akan siapa mereka sebelum pindah ke Inggris juga memudar. Orangtua saya, seluruh generasi mereka, menghabiskan tahun-tahun hidup mereka yang terbaik berjalan di tempat dengan membanting tulang di pabrik demi mendapatkan sekedar bayaran yang amat rendah. Hidup yang membosankan, dengan tulang belakang yang berubah bentuk, dengan artritis yang kronis, dengan tangan yang buntung. Mereka menggigit bibir dan menahan sakit. Tidak ada pilihan lain. Dalam pikiran mereka, mereka berusaha mematikan – mengenyampingkan penghinaan rekan-rekan kerja, tidak marah atas cacian para mandor, dan dalam hal perempuan India, tidak bereaksi ketika suami mereka menampari mereka. Tahan sakit, kata mereka kepada diri sendiri, hadapi rasa sakit itu – sakit yang menusuk di tangan, sendi pangkal paha yang menipis, punggung yang kaku karena membungkuk di mesin jahit selama bertahun-tahun, tangan yang menebal karena mencuci baju dengan tangan, lutut yang kena rematik karena menyikat lantai dapur dengan pakaian dalam bekas suami mereka.
Ketika orangtua saya duduk menonton acara gulat pada hari Sabtu sore, teh jahe yang diberi susu di tangan mereka, mereka ingin dihibur, mereka ingin terbahak. Namun mereka juga mau agar orang baik, sesekali, bisa menang atas orang jahat. Mereka ingin si penggertak yang sok dan suka berteriak keras itu mendapat balasan setimpal. Mereka berdoa untuk si orang baik, yang tergeletak di kanvas, terjepit dalam kuncian jari-jari tangan, atau mencengkeram ginjal mereka karena kesakitan, untuk tidak menyerah. Kalau saja dia bisa bertahan sedikit lebih lama lagi, menahan sakit sebentar lagi dan menyelesaikan pertandingan. Kalau saja dia demikian, ada kesempatan bahwa dia bisa menang karena gulat memang demikian. Namun demikian, itu adalah kemenangan yang tipis sekali. Sang pemenang, kehabisan nafas, hampir tidak mampu melambai pada orang banyak. Kemenangan pada dasarnya adalah bertahan hidup.
| English to Indonesian: Faith and Science
Detailed field: Religion | Source text - English
Truth is nothing for any Christian to fear, so there is no reason for a Christian to fear or hate good science. Learning more about the way God constructed our universe helps all of mankind appreciate the wonder of creation. Expanding our knowledge helps us to combat disease, ignorance, and misunderstanding. However, there is danger when scientists hold their faith in human logic above faith in our Creator. These persons are no different than anyone devoted to a religion – they have chosen faith in Man, and will find facts to defend it. | Translation - Indonesian
Kebenaran bukanlah sesuatu yang ditakuti oleh orang Kristen, karena itu tidak ada alasan bagi orang Kristen untuk takut atau membenci sains yang baik. Belajar mengenai cara Allah membentuk alam raya menolong umat manusia untuk lebih menghargai keajaiban ciptaan. Memperluas pengetahuan kita menolong kita untuk mengatasi penyakit, meningkatkan tingkat keperdulian kita dan mengatasi kesalahpengertian. Sekalipun demikian, ada bahayanya ketika para ilmuwan menempatkan kepercayaan mereka pada logika manusia melampaui iman kepada Pencipta kita. Mereka-mereka ini tidak berbeda dari orang-orang yang menganut agama tertentu – mereka memilih beriman kepada manusia dan akan berusaha mencari fakta-fakta untuk mempertahankannya. |
