编者从12月10日奥巴马在曼德拉葬礼上的悼念词中摘录了一些感人的片段:
Like Gandhi, he would lead a resistance movement -- a movement that at its start had little prospect for success. Like Dr. King, he would give potent voice to the claims of the oppressed and the moral necessity of racial justice. He would endure a brutal imprisonment that began in the time of Kennedy and Khrushchev, and reached the final days of the Cold War. Emerging from prison, without the force of arms, he would -- like Abraham Lincoln -- hold his country together when it threatened to break apart. And like Americas Founding Fathers, he would erect a constitutional order to preserve freedom for future generations -- a commitment to democracy and rule of law ratified not only by his election, but by his willingness to step down from power after only one term.
像甘地一样,他领导了一场抵抗运动一场在开始时期希望渺茫的运动。像马丁路德金一样,他为被压迫者呐喊,为种族正义诉求。他经历了严酷的监押,从肯尼迪和赫鲁晓夫时期,一直到冷战的最后一刻。从监狱中崛起,无需武力,像林肯一样,曼德拉将他的国家在濒临溃散之际团结到了一起。像美国的建国之父一样,他起草的宪章将自由的权利延续到了下一代。他对民主和法律的投入不仅体现在他的当选,也体现在他仅任总统一届后自愿从权利高位上退下。
