I put on a shalwar kameez and a headscarf in Morocco for a trip to the bazaar. Yes, some of the warmth I encountered was probably from the novelty of seeing a Westerner so clothed; but, as I moved about the market – the curve of my breasts covered, the shape of my legs obscured, my long hair not flying about me – I felt a novel sense of calm and serenity.
这种经历我自己也有过。我在摩洛哥穿上纱丽克米兹女装和头巾去巴扎市场时，人们给予我的热情，部分是源于看到一个西方人如此穿着的新鲜感；但是，当我在市场里四处走动，我的穿着掩盖了我乳房的曲线和我腿部的轮廓，我的长发不再飘散，我感到了一种平和安宁的全新的感觉。是的，从某些方面来说，我有了自由感。
