1. The Pariahs were a specific caste whose hereditary job it was to act as the drummer in those festivals. 帕利亚阶层的人世世代代都在那些节日里担任鼓手。
2. There are several castes in the Tamil country considered to be lower than the Pariahs, e.g. the caste of shoemakers, and the lowest caste of washermen. 在这个居住着泰米尔人的国度,还有一些地位比帕利亚更低的种姓,例如鞋匠所在的种姓,以及洗衣工所在的最低种姓。
3. Yet a consistent principle runs through these efforts: that it is better to sit down with all parties, even those considered pariahs, than to exclude anyone from peace talks. 多年的斡旋经历也让挪威总结出一条经验,那就是:要让包括底层民众在内的各方都坐下来谈,不要将任何人排除在和平谈判的程序之外。
