Nelson Mandela was one of the most loved and respected people in the world. For countless reasons he was and remains a huge hero. He was a person from whom we can all learn many lessons. He experienced many things in his nine decades, from being tortured to becoming president of the country he loved. After retiring, he continued to travel the world, helping people and raising awareness of global issues.
納爾遜·曼德拉是全球最受敬仰的人物之一。他從始至終就被人們定義為英雄。我們可以從曼德拉身上學(xué)到許多。從遭到蹂躪壓迫到成為國家總統(tǒng)，他在90多年的歲月中經(jīng)歷了太多。卸任之后，他開始環(huán)游世界，幫助提高人類對全球問題的重視程度。
Nelson was born in 1918 into a South Africa that was divided along black and white racial lines. He said he had a wonderful childhood and was a keen runner and boxer. He learnt more of the terrible apartheid system when he studied to become a lawyer. This led to his campaigning for equal rights and his involvement in the African National Congress (ANC), which he later became the leader of.
1918年，納爾遜生于南非，當(dāng)時的南非種族歧視嚴(yán)重。曼德拉稱他的童年很美好，他還是個跑步和拳擊健將。在學(xué)習(xí)法律期間，他對種族隔離又有了更多的認(rèn)識。這也讓他加入了宣揚種族平等的事業(yè)當(dāng)中，并加入“非國大”，并成為領(lǐng)袖。
The South African government did its best to keep Mandela from spreading his message of equality for blacks and racial unity. It put him in prison for 27 years. He became famous around the world as an icon of the struggle for freedom in South Africa. Rock stars, actors, politicians and ordinary people campaigned to free him and end apartheid. He was released from prison in 1990 and the world rejoiced.
南非政府盡全力阻止曼德拉宣揚種族平等。曼德拉遭受了27年的牢獄之災(zāi)。因他在南非的“自由使者”身份而享譽海內(nèi)外。搖滾明星、演員、政界人士以及普通民眾都要求釋放曼德拉，并結(jié)束種族隔離。1990年，曼德拉出獄，全球歡欣鼓舞。
Nelson Mandela's call for racial reconciliation won him the hearts of millions. He also won the Nobel Peace Prize, in 1993, and over 250 more awards. A year later, he became his country's first ever black president and served in office until 1999. In his retirement, he continued to tirelessly campaign for many global causes until old age slowed him down. He died on the 5th of December, 2013, aged 95.
納爾遜·曼德拉呼吁種族和解，此舉也得到了數(shù)百萬民眾支持。1993年，曼德拉獲得諾貝爾和平獎，以及超過250項大獎。一年后，他成為南非首位黑人總統(tǒng)，并于1999年卸任。卸任后，他繼續(xù)在全球問題上奔走。2013年12月5日，曼德拉去世，享年95歲。
