Offred paints a picture of a family that literally emanates love.

奥弗雷德描绘了一幅充满爱的家庭画面。

So the narrative is a non-linear first-person account from our protagonist Offred.

所以故事是我们的主角奥弗雷德的非线性第一人称叙述。

Now, there are several different timelines that June slash Offred weaves between.

有几个不同的时间线，琼和奥弗雷德交替出现者。

And women like Offred are just purely commodities, to be used and discarded when they can no longer produce.

像奥弗雷德这样的女人只是纯粹的商品，在她们不能再生产的时候被使用和丢弃。

And of course, think about how our protagonist has been renamed from June to Offred, taking the commander's name.

当然，想想我们的主角是如何从 June 重命名为 Offred，以指挥官的名字命名的。

Offred had a husband, a child, a job, and a normal, middle-class American life.

奥弗雷德有丈夫、孩子、工作和正常的美国中产阶级生活。

Offred is denied her identity, separated from her family, and reduced to being, in Offred's words, " a two-legged womb for increasing Gilead's waning population."

奥弗雷德的身份被剥夺，与家人分离，用奥弗雷德的话来说，沦为“一个两条腿的子宫， 用于增加基列日益减少的人口” 。

Now, Offred or June as we call her, she can still have children, so she has been given the role of Handmaid in this Gilead regime.

奥弗雷德，或者我们叫她琼，她仍然可以生育孩子，所以她在基列政权中被赋予“使女”的角色。
