最后,曼德拉理解连接人类精神的枢纽。南非有一个词最能描绘出曼德拉的天赋Ubuntu,意思是他能认识到我们所有人以肉眼看不到的方式关联在一起的能力,能认识到人性的统一,能认识到我们通过和他人分享和互相关爱成就我们自己。
For the people of South Africa, for those he inspired around the globe, Madibas passing is rightly a time of mourning, and a time to celebrate a heroic life. But I believe it should also prompt in each of us a time for self-reflection. With honesty, regardless of our station or our circumstance, we must ask: How well have I applied his lessons in my own life?
对于南非人民来说,对于全球各地受曼德拉启发的人们来说,他的逝去让我们哀悼,让我们铭记他英勇的一生。但是我相信他的逝去更会督促我们每一个人进行自省。不论我们的地位和境况,我们诚实地问自己:我怎样将从曼德拉身上所学到的运用到我自己的生活中?
The questions we face today -- how to promote equality and justice; how to uphold freedom and human rights; how to end conflict and sectarian war -- these things do not have easy answers. But there were no easy answers in front of that child born in World War I. Nelson Mandela reminds us that it always seems impossible until it is done. South Africa shows that is true. South Africa shows we can change, that we can choose a world defined not by our differences, but by our common hopes. We can choose a world defined not by conflict, but by peace and justice and opportunity.
