To my compatriots,
對我的同胞，
I have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld.
我可以毫不猶疑地說，我們每一個(gè)人都跟這美麗祖國的大地親密地牢不可分，就如紅木樹之 于比勒陀利亞，含羞草之于灌木林。
That spiritual and physical oneness we all share with this common homeland explains the depth of the pain we all carried in our hearts as we saw our country tear itself apart in a terrible conflict,and as we saw it spurned,outlawed and isolated by the peoples of the world,
我們對這共同的家鄉(xiāng)在精神上和肉體上有共同的感覺，當(dāng)目睹國家因可怕的沖突而變得四分五裂，遭全球人民唾棄、孤立，
precisely because it has become the universal base of the pernicious ideology and practice of racism and racial oppression.
特別是它成為惡毒的意識(shí)形態(tài)時(shí)，我們的內(nèi)心如此地痛苦。
The time for the healing of the wounds has come.

他們心中不再有恐懼，他們可以肯定自己擁有不可剝奪的人類尊嚴(yán)—這是一個(gè)在國內(nèi)及與其他各國之間都保持和平的美好國度。
We enter into a covenant that we shall build the society in which all South Africans, both black and white,will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts,assured of their inalienable right to human dignity-a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world.

Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world.
這片美麗的土地永遠(yuǎn)、永遠(yuǎn)、永遠(yuǎn)再不會(huì)經(jīng)歷人對人 的壓迫，以及遭全球唾棄的屈辱。
