Until recently, this topic was taboo in Saudi Arabia, where the regime doesn’t allow any margin for political debate, and commands people to listen, obey, and leave matters of government to their rulers.
До недавнего времени эта тема была предметом табу в Саудовской Аравии, где режим не позволяет никаких политических дебатов и приказывает людям, чтобы они слушали, повиновались и всецело доверяли правителям в вопросах управления государством.

It is taboo, It is covered up with flesh and put away once and for all; nobody and nothing ought to come near it.
Подреберная плевра, господа, она такая, ее нельзя касаться, нельзя, невозможно ее трогать, она — табу, она прикрыта плотью, изолирована, неприкосновенна раз и навсегда.

That is difficult for people who have been programmed with taboos: sex should not even be mentioned; death should not be mentioned either.
Это трудно для людей, которым было привито подавление: секс не должен упоминаться; смерть не должна упоминаться.
