Aung San Suu Kyi has been a figurehead for her country’s struggle for democracy since 1988. She was born to lead her nation; her father was Burma's independence hero. He was assassinated when she was just two years old. Suu Kyi had an international upbringing. She was educated in Burma, India, and the United Kingdom,where she got her PhD.
自從1988年以來，昂山素季一直是緬甸全國民主聯盟總書記。她從一出生就注定要領導她的國家；她的父親是為緬甸爭取獨立的英雄人物。當父親遭到暗殺時，昂山素季只有2歲。昂山素季有在國外長大的經歷。她在緬甸、印度和英國留學，她在英國獲得了博士文憑。
In 1988 she returned home to care for her dying mother. Burma was in political chaos after a new military junta took power. A nationwide uprising against the Generals started and Suu Kyi campaigned for freedom and democracy. The brutal regime clamped down on the people and slaughtered 10,000 demonstrators. This made Suu Kyi more determined to help her people.
1988年，她回國照顧自己即將逝世的母親。新政派掌權以后，緬甸陷入了政治漩渦之中。全國發起了反對總司令的起義，昂山素季進行了主張自由和民主的宣傳活動。殘暴政權打壓人民，并殺害了1萬名游行示威者。這更加堅定了昂山素季幫助人民的決心。
Suu Kyi increased her efforts to fight the dictators who were leading her country. She was put under housearrest. Even though the government arrested her, the party she led won a staggering 82% of the seats in the 1990 election. The regime never recognized the results. The Generals offered her freedom if she left thecountry, but she refused.
昂山素季加大了打擊國家獨裁者的力度。她還遭到了軟禁。盡管政府將她逮捕，她所領導的政黨還是在1990年的選舉中獲得了驚人的82%的席位。獨裁政權從沒有承認這一結果。如果她同意離開這個國家，那么總司令就將讓她重獲自由，但是她拒絕了。
Suu Kyi was under house arrest for the best part of two decades. Ms Suu Kyi won the Nobel Peace Prize while being detained. She was given her freedom by the military dictatorship on November 13th, 2010. She was greeted by thousands of adoring Burmese at the gates of her home. World leaders welcomed her release. Her new goal is to work with anyone and everyone in Burma to make a better country for her people.
在以后的20年里，她都在軟禁的生活中度過。在監禁期間，她獲得了諾貝爾和平獎。2010年11月13日，緬甸軍政府將她釋放。在她的家門口，她受到了上千名緬甸市民的歡迎。世界領導人也歡迎她的釋放。她的新目標是與緬甸一起為人民建造更加強大的緬甸。
