聊一聊曼德拉的一生,為什么他被關(guān)了27年
來聽今天的講解:
A: I've had a great idea for a movie, Nelson Mandela.
我有個(gè)好主意,拍一部有關(guān)納爾遜•曼德拉的電影。
B: Well. that would certainly be an intcrcsting topic.
這個(gè)話題肯定有意思。
A: I thought that we could start in his childhood, his life in prison and then his achievements later in life
我想我們可以從他的童年開始講起,接著是獄中生活,再下來是他晚年所取得的成就。
B: Sounds good. Mandela was educated at a local mission school. He entered the University College of Fort Hare and quickly became active in student politics.
聽起來不錯(cuò)。曼德拉是在當(dāng)?shù)匾凰虝?huì)學(xué)校上的學(xué),后來進(jìn)入了海爾堡大學(xué),很快就成了學(xué)生政治運(yùn)動(dòng)的積極分子。
A: Is that why hc was kicked out of university?
他是不是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)被大學(xué)開除了?
是這樣。我認(rèn)為在當(dāng)時(shí)那個(gè)時(shí)代,他講話太大膽了。
A: So then he moved to Johannesburg and finished his university education. He then entcred into the study and subsequendy the practice of law.
所以后來他搬到了約翰內(nèi)斯堡,在那里上完了大學(xué)。接著也開始鉆研法律,隨后就開業(yè)當(dāng)律師。
B: I think law was a good choice of major for him.
我想,對(duì)他而言法律專業(yè)是最佳選擇。
A: After that, he formed the ANC ( African NationaJ Congrress) Youth League, to transform the ANC from an elitist political union into a more broadly-based politicaJ movement.
此后,他組建了非洲人國(guó)民大會(huì)(非國(guó)大)青年聯(lián)盟,把非國(guó)大從一個(gè)由少數(shù)精英參與的政治聯(lián)盟變成了廣大群眾參與的政治運(yùn)動(dòng)。
B: As the apartheid policy began to reach deeper into South Afiican life, Mandela found himself constandy in opposition to the official political line of the Afrikaner-dominated govemment. He was banned, then arrested during the late 1950s.
由于種族隔離政策開始越來越深地影響了南非人民的生活,曼德拉經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)自己與南非白人領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的政府立場(chǎng)相反。20世紀(jì)50年代末他被禁止參加公眾集會(huì),隨后遭到逮捕。
A: I guess that was che beginning of why he was sent to prison in 1962 for 27 years. Can you imagine, 27 years in solitary confinement !?
我想這就是為什么他在1962年入獄后被關(guān)了27年的原因。你能想象嗎,27年單獨(dú)監(jiān)禁???
B: And most of that Cime was spent doing hard labour. That just shows his strength of character. Many men would have gone insane, I'm sure.
27年間,他大部分時(shí)間都是在做苦役。這正好突顯了他堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的性格。我肯定,在同樣情況下.很多人都會(huì)發(fā)瘋的。
