Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no

31、fought against white domination, and i have fought against black domination. i have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. it is an ideal which i hope to live for and to achieve. but if needs be, it is an ideal
32、 for which i am prepared to die.总统：纳尔逊曼德拉（nelson mandela）在1964年接受审判时在被告席上结束他的陈述时说：“我曾为反对白人统治而斗争，也曾为反对黑人统治而斗争。我一直珍藏着一个民主、自由的社会的理想，让所有人都生活在一个和谐共处、机会均等的社会中。我希望为这个理想而生并将其付诸实现。但是，如果需要，我也愿为这样一个理想献出生命。”and nelson mandela lived for that ideal, and he made it real. he achieved more than could be expected of
33、any man. today, he has gone home. and we have lost one of the most influential, courageous, and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this earth. he no longer belongs to us - he belongs to the ages. 纳尔逊曼德拉为这个理想而生，并将其变成现实。他的成就超出了我们能够寄望于任何一个人去取得的。今天，他安息了。而我们失去了一位我们任何一个人能在
34、这个地球上与之共渡时光的人中最有影响力、最有勇气、最无比善良的一位。他不再属于我们他属于千秋万世。曼德拉以其强烈的尊严和为了他人的自由不惜牺牲自己的自由的不折的意志，改变了南非的面貌，并感动了我们所有人。他从一名囚徒变成一位总统的历程体现了全人类以及各个国家都能变得更美好的希望。他移交权力并同那些关押他的人和解的承诺树立了一个全人类都应当追求的典范，不论是在国家生活中，还是在我们的个人生活中。而他在做到这一切时还能保持风度和幽默，以及承认自己的不足的能力，这使他更加卓尔不群。他曾说过：“我不是一个圣人，除非你们认为圣人是一个不断努力的罪人。”i am one of the countless
35、millions who drew inspiration from nelson mandelas life. my very first political action, the first thing i ever did that involved an issue or a policy or politics, was a protest against apartheid. i studied his words and his writings. the day that he was released from prison gave me a sense of what
36、human beings can do when theyre guided by their hopes and not by their fears. and like so many around the globe, i cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that nelson mandela set, and so long as i live i will do what i can to learn from him. 我是从曼德拉的一生得到启迪的千百万人之一。我从事的第一次政治活动，第一次同任何议题、政策或
37、者政治有关的活动，是一次反对种族隔离的抗议。我常常学习他的言论和文章。他走出监狱的那一天使我意识到，人类在奔向希望而没有恐惧的时候是何等的大有作为。我和世界各地许多人一样，无法想象如果没有曼德拉树立的榜样，我自己的一生会是什么样子。在我有生之年，我将竭尽所能向他学习。米歇尔和我谨向格拉萨马歇尔和曼德拉的家人致以最深沉的慰唁，并感谢他们与我们分享这位不平凡的人。他的毕生努力意味着长年累月远离最爱他的人们。我真切地希望与他共同度过的最后这几个星期为他的家人带来了平静与安慰。to the people of south africa, we draw strength from the exampl

39、nelson mandela again. so it falls to us as best we can to forward the example that he set: to make decisions guided not by hate, but by love; to never discount the difference that one person can make; to strive for a future that is worthy of his sacrifice.我们可能难以再见到像纳尔逊曼德拉这样的伟人。因此，我们的责任是尽我们所能把他树立的榜样传
40、承下去：基于爱而不是恨来作决定；永远不要低估一个人所能带来的变化；努力建设一个无愧于他的牺牲的未来。for now, let us pause and give thanks for the fact that nelson mandela lived - a man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice. may god bless his memory and keep him in peace.现在，让我们停下来，为纳尔逊曼德拉曾经活着而表达我们的感激之情他
