曼德拉——与自我对话
Nelson Mandela may well be the most admired human being alive. In fact, it's difficult to imagine who could compete with him for the title. He went from being prisoner to president, and in the process became an icon.
纳尔逊·曼德拉可以说是当今世上最受景仰的人。事实上很难想象,谁能跟他竞逐这个头衔。他从阶下囚成为总统,在这过程中,他成为了民众偶像。
The most revealing are two notebooks with drafts of letters he wrote from Robben Island, South Africa's Alcatraz, where he was serving a life sentence
for sabotage. He was allowed to send and receive one letter every six months. And the letters revealed that his passion for his wife Winnie never waned. “What a masterpiece!” he wrote, after she sent him a picture of herself.
“The picture has aroused all the tender feelings in me and softened the grimness that is all around. It has sharpened my longing for you and our sweet and peaceful home.”
与自我对话 Conversations with Myself 最真情流露的是两本笔记,内有他在罗宾岛
写的信件草稿;那是南非的恶魔岛,他因为颠覆国家罪被判在那里服无期徒刑。他获准每
六个月寄收一封信。这些书信透露出他对太太云妮的爱从不曾退减。“真是一幅杰作!”
在云妮给他寄去其照片后,他写道。“照片激起我心中的万般柔情,抚慰这周遭一切的冷酷。其加深了我对你,还有对我们和谐宁静的家的渴望。”
Winnie had become Mandela's voice on the outside and the apartheid regime came down on her with a vengeance. She was repeatedly thrown into jail and tortured. The struggle was now not only devastating their lives, their two young
daughters had been effectively abandoned. Mandela was incredibly blunt about what awaited them. “My Darlings,” he wrote. “Once again, our beloved Mommy has been arrested and now she and Daddy are away in jail. You may live like orphans, without your own home and parents. You will get no birthday or Christmas parties, no presents or new dresses, no shoes or toys.”
监狱外,云妮是曼德拉的代言人,种族隔离政府向她报复。她多次被送入狱,遭受折磨。
这样的煎熬不仅毁了他们的生活,两个年幼女儿实际上也处于无人照料的境地。曼德拉对
她们所要面对的命运也毫不讳言。他写道:“亲爱的宝贝,我们亲爱的妈妈再次被捕了。
现在她和爸爸遥在监狱中,你们可能会过着像孤儿般的生活,无家无父母照料。没办法庆
祝生日或办圣诞晚会,没有礼物或新裙,没有新鞋子或玩具。”
He never doubted that the racist regime would be overthrown. So even back then, he started preparing. First move learn the language of the oppressor, Afrikaans. 他深信种族歧视政府会被推翻,所以当时他就开始作准备了。第一步是学习压迫者的语
言:南非荷兰语。
The language of the enemy?
学习敌人的语言?
Mac Maharaj (Fellow Prisoner): And he said to me, “Mac, do you agree that we are now in a protracted war?” I said, “Yes.” He says, “You've got to understand the general on the other side. To understand him, you've got to know his language.”
麦·哈拉杰(狱友):他跟我说:“麦,你同意我们打的是持久战吗?”我说:“同意。”他说:“你得了解敌方将领的想法。想了解他,你就得学习他的语言。”
The book contains defiant letters Mandela wrote to the authorities, reminding them that, as political prisoners, they had rights and should be treated with dignity. In response, he got a visit from a general, who was intent on putting Mandela in his place.
书中收录了曼德拉抗议当局的信件,提醒当局即使他们是政治犯,也有人权,必须受到尊重。结果一位军官前来探访他,想让曼德拉认清自己所处的境况。
Mac: And he says to Mandela, “Mandela, you better remember you are a prisoner.” And in a very polite way he says to him, “General, you and I may be generals on the opposite side of this war. At some point, even if it is to accept the surrender from the other, we'll have to meet. And how we treat each other now, will determine how we interact at that moment.”
麦:他对曼德拉说:“曼德拉,你得记住你是个囚犯。”他非常礼貌地回答:“将军,你和我也许是这场战争中敌对双方的指挥官。在一定情况下,就算是接受对方的投降,我们也还会再度见面;而现在我们对待彼此的态度,将决定我们未来那一刻的交流。
罗纳尔多: 世界球王
Ronaldo: King of the World
Biography
Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima was born on 22 September 1976 in a poor suburb of Rio de Janeiro. Like most of his childhood friends, Ronaldo began his soccer career playing barefoot in the streets of his neighborhood. At the age of 14, he joined S Cristovo soccer club and only two years later became the star of Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte scoring a total of 58 goals in 60 matches and earning himself a reputation for his explosive pace and outstanding finishing skills. His goal-scoring record and unusual agility led him to be included in the Brazilian World Cup winning team the following year. After the World Cup, many top European football clubs were trying to sign him. Many people, including Brazilian football legend  Pelé,  referred to him as the most promising footballer of his generation.
Since his transfer to Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, Ronaldo s biography is one of success after success. Two Copa América s, a UEFA Cup, a Dutch Cup, a Spanish League Cup, and two awards as best player in the world, all in the space of two years, are some of Ronaldo s impressive achievements. On arrival to Inter-Milan in 1997, Ronaldo became the idol of the local fans who refer to him as “il Fenomeno.”
Since the 98 World Cup he has suffered two serious knee injuries that have severely limited his appear
ances. Just when people began to wonder whether Ronaldo would be able to continue with his football career, he proved to the world that he still could play. In the World Cup held in Korea and Japan, the magical striker won the Golden Shoe award and tied Pelé's Brazilian record for career World Cup goals with 12. He helped Brazil capture its fifth World Cup championship on June 30 with a 2-0 win over Germany. It was the third time that Ronaldo has ever played in the World Cup.
世界球王--罗纳尔多
罗纳尔多1976年9月22日出生在里约热内卢的贫困郊区。像多数童年的伙伴一样,他的足球生涯是从小区的街道上赤脚踢球开始的。14岁的时候,他加盟圣克里斯托旺足球俱乐部,仅仅两年后他就成长为克鲁塞罗俱乐部的明星,60场比赛进了58粒球,快捷有
力的步伐和非凡的射门技巧令其名声大噪。第二年,他射门得分的纪录以及超凡的敏捷使他入选巴西国家队参加世界杯。世界杯结束后,许多欧洲顶级足球俱乐部都削尖脑袋想同他签约。许多人,包括巴西传奇人物贝利,都认为他是同代人中最有希望的足球运动员。
自从转会到荷兰的埃因霍温足球俱乐部后,罗纳尔多取得了一次又一次的成功:两次美洲杯冠军、一次欧洲足协联盟杯冠军、一次荷兰杯冠军、一次西班牙联赛冠军、两次获得世界最佳球员奖,所有这一切都是在短短两年内取得的。1997年,他一到国际米兰队,就成为当地球迷心中的偶像,被称为“奇才”。
自1998年世界杯以来,罗纳尔多经历了两次严重的膝伤,这极大地限制了他上场踢球的时间。正当人们怀疑他是否能继续踢球的时候,他向全世界证明他风采依旧。在韩日举行的世界杯上,这位神奇的前锋获得金靴奖,以12粒进球平了贝利创造的世界杯进球纪
录。他帮助巴西队在6月30日的比赛中以2比0的比分战胜了德国队,从而第五次获得世界杯冠军。这也是罗纳尔多第三次参加世界杯。
