On 5th, December, 2013, the South Africa’s former President and the Nobel winner Nelson R. Mandela had passed away. Suddenly, the whole world was in deep mourning for this great man. In his extraordinary life, he had made marvelous contribution to his country, also to this world.
2013年12月5日,南非前总统和诺贝尔奖获得者尼尔森. R.曼德拉逝世。突然之间,整个世界都在沉痛悼念这位伟大的人物。在他毫不平凡的一生中,他对他的国家,乃至整个世界都做出了巨大的贡献。
Born in a small village in South Africa, Mandela was one of the 13 children of a tribe chief. Unlike his father, he didn’t want to use his social status to oppress his people. Deep in his heart, he wanted to start the national liberation movement, and help the black people to live freely. In 1944, Mandela was actively involved in different kinds of campaign, aimed to fight for the rights for the majority blacks without violence resistance in the country. In 1961, he became the anti-apartheid leader, and won the honor of all the black people. However, Mandela was arrested for treason but later was acquitted. In 1962, the South Africa government was arrest him for the same excuse and he started his prison life for 27 years. But the hard life in prison never changed his faith that he would build an equal, free new Africa. He is such a great fighter that he finally released from prison. He believed that the world would become peace and equal. There is no racial discrimination.
曼德拉出生在一个南非的小山村,是一个部落酋长的儿子。他有13个兄弟姐们。不像他的父亲,他不想用自己的社会地位去压迫他的人民。在他内心深处,他想要发起全国解放运动,帮助黑人自由生活。在1944年,曼德拉开始参加各种非暴力性解放运动,目的就是为了帮助黑人争取权利。在1961年,他成为了反对宗族隔离的领袖,并获得了全体黑人的尊敬。然而,曼德拉以叛国罪被捉捕,随后被无罪释放。在1962年,南非政府以同样的罪名正式逮捕他,然后他开始了长达29年的牢狱生活。但艰辛的牢狱生活并没有改变他的信念——建造一个平等、自由的新南非。他是个如此英勇的斗士,最终重获自由。他相信这个世界会得更和平更平等,没有种族歧视。
Just like he used to say, no one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
就像他曾说过的那样:“没有人生来就会因为皮肤颜色、出身背景或宗教信仰而仇恨他人,恨都是学来的。而如果他们可以学会恨,那么他们同样也可以学会爱,因为爱比恨会更自然地走进人类的内心。”
Rest In Peace,Mandela.
安息吧,曼德拉。
