"In1985, thanks to the photography of Steve McCurry, who the previous year hadportrayed her very young in a refugee camp in Peshawar for the cover ofNational Geographic Magazine, Sharbat Gula acquired global notoriety, to thepoint of symbolizing the vicissitudes and conflicts of the phase history thatAfghanistan and its people were going through," reads a statement releasedby Draghi's office.
“1985年，因为摄影师Steve McCurry头一年为国家地理封面拍摄了一张她小的时候在白沙瓦难民营中的肖像，Gula为全世界所知，并在某种程度上代表了阿富汗和它的人民所经历的历史阶段的变迁和冲突。” 总理办公室发布的声明说。
"Respondingto the requests of those in civil society and in particular among thenon-profit organizations active in Afghanistan which, after the events of lastAugust, received Sharbat Gula's appeal to be helped in leaving their country,the Prime Minister took it upon himself and organized her transfer to Italywithin the broader context of the program for the evacuation of Afghan citizensand the government's plan for their reception and integration," thestatement continues.
为了响应民间团体，特别是活跃在阿富汗的非营利组织的请求，8月的事件后，在收到Gula求助离开阿富汗的请求后，在将难民撤离阿富汗，并由政府计划接收和融合难民的大背景下，意大利总理主动负责安排将她转移到意大利。

In2016 McCurry told CNN the story behind the photograph. "I knew she had anincredible look, a penetrating gaze," he said. "But there was a crowdof people around us, the dust was swirling around, and it was before digitalcameras and you never knew what would happen with the film."
"Ishowed it to the editor of the National Geographic, and he leaped to his feetand shouted, 'that's our next cover'," he added.
2016年摄影师对CNN讲述照片后的故事。“我知道她有相貌惊人，眼神直指人心，” 他说 “当时有一群人围着我们，尘土飞扬，那时还没有数字镜头，你永远不知道胶片会捕捉到什么。我把照片给国家地理的编辑看，他一跃而起大喊，这就是我们下一个封面。“
