On Nelson Mandela International Day, we honour a living symbol of courage and integrity. Nelson Mandela has been a lawyer and a freedom fighter. A political prisoner, peacemaker and president. A healer of nations, and a mentor to generations of leaders and people from all walks of life throughout the world.
在此納爾遜·曼德拉國際日,我們慶祝他活生生的智慧、勇氣。納爾遜·曼德拉曾經是律師和自由戰士、一個政治犯、和平締造者和總統、一個民族創傷的愈合者。他是在世界各地各行各業幾代人的良師益友。
I had the honour of meeting him. I thanked him for all he has done. But, he insisted that the credit belonged to others. His humility continues to inspire.
我有幸與他見過面。我們感謝納爾遜·曼德拉所作的一切。但他堅持認為榮譽屬于他人。他的謙遜繼續激勵著人們。
Today, I join the Nelson Mandela Foundation in urging each and every one of us to perform 67 minutes of public service on Mandela Day – one minute for each year of Mandela’s own remarkable service to humanity. Tutor a child. Feed the hungry. Care for your environment. Volunteer at a hospital or community centre. Be part of the Mandela movement to make the world a better place. Together, we can help people achieve the dignity that is their birthright.
今天,我與納爾遜·曼德拉基金會一道,鼓勵世界各地的人們在曼德拉日這一天從事67分鐘的公共服務——每一分鐘代表曼德拉為人類服務的每一年。去教導一個孩子、幫助饑餓者;關愛您的環境;花時間在本地醫院或社區中心做志愿工作;成為參加曼德拉運動的一份子,讓世界變得更加美好,讓我們一起幫助人們獲得他們與生俱來的尊嚴。
That is the best way to wish Nelson Mandela a very happy 93rd birthday. And it is the best way we can thank him for being such an inspiration to us all.
這是慶祝納爾遜·曼德拉93歲生日的最好方式是我們大家能夠感謝納爾遜·曼德拉的最佳途徑。
