Outside the courtroom and in the community, most of the Khmers I talked to were, like my aunt, quick to categorize Duch as something other than human. Duch must have thought much the same thing about his victims when he ordered them to their deaths.
在法庭之外及社会上，我所交谈过的绝大多数高棉人和我婶婶一样，都很快将杜赫归为非人类。当杜赫下令处死他的受害者们的时候，他对他们肯定也抱有同样的想法。当我们将彼此视为非人之时，我们就会以非人道的行为回应。
