性的重要性,他告訴我們不僅要去堅持贊同的人,同時要去尊重他們即使反對人的意見。而且他把自己的經(jīng)歷作為磨煉,他把他的知識傳授下去,影響他人。他在奮斗的過程當(dāng)中不斷地學(xué)習(xí),這樣才能夠向人們展示打破了種族隔離的自由是多么寶貴和重要。曼德拉向我們展示出了想法,僅僅有想法是不夠的。不管想法有多么正確,同時也要受到法律和制度的運輸。他非常實際,把自己的信仰在實踐當(dāng)中和歷史情況當(dāng)中加以實驗。但是在核心價值觀方面是絕不動搖的,所以說他也提醒我們即便是身處牢獄當(dāng)中也可以有奮斗精神。但是他在監(jiān)獄當(dāng)中仍然制訂法律,而且不為了個人的利益而犧牲大的原則。而且他也創(chuàng)造了南非的《憲法》,創(chuàng)造了反種族制度的民主,保護了少數(shù)人的利益及大多數(shù)的利益,以及每一個南非人的自由權(quán)利。最終曼德拉代表了人類精神的紐帶,在南非有這樣一個詞,這個詞其實就描繪了曼德拉最偉大的天賦,他意識到人類永遠有一條看不到的紐帶連接在一起,但是人性是統(tǒng)一的。我們在傳承精神的過程當(dāng)中能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)自我,我們永遠不知道這樣的力量有多強,是不是這樣的力量支撐他在幽暗的監(jiān)獄當(dāng)中堅持奮斗。但是他卻在救人總統(tǒng)的時候向全世界人介紹他的監(jiān)獄看守,他把他家人離世的心痛轉(zhuǎn)化為愛滋病尋找救治方法的努力。他不僅代表了偉大,還教會了這么多人如何在自在尋找真理。就是像曼德拉這樣的人能夠解放不僅是囚犯,同時能夠解放看守囚犯的人。而且教會其他人如何信任自己,而且他教給我們和解不是一條殘忍的道路,而是通過包容、寬大和真理來化解這些分歧,他改變了法律,也改變了人心。對于南非的民眾來說,對于那些全球范圍內(nèi)受過他激勵的人,曼德拉的離世絕對是無比悲痛的時刻,他們都在為他哀悼,慶祝英雄般的一生。但是我相信這也是我們每個人自省的一刻,我們必須要貪嗔地面對自己,無論外界條件如何都要問自己我們有沒有在自己的生活當(dāng)中運用到曼德拉的精神,運用到他教給我們的品質(zhì)。我自己也在思考,作為一個總統(tǒng)、作為一個人,我們知道像南非那樣,美國也有過種族制度的統(tǒng)治,我們也為此斗爭和奮斗長達幾十年。正是那些知名和不知名的人奮斗才有今天,我的夫人和我正是這種成果的受益者。但是在美國,還有在南非,以及全球各國,我們不能夠允許我們的進步遮蔽這樣的事實,就是我們的工作尚未完成,仍然任重而道遠。實現(xiàn)平等的路上仍然有很多工作要做,可能沒有過去來的那么排山倒海,但是仍然有很多的工作要做。我們現(xiàn)在仍然看到孩子們?nèi)甜嚢ゐI死于疾病,我們看到學(xué)校被炸毀,看到年輕人完全看不到未來的希望,在世界各國我們看到有許多人仍然因為他們的政治信仰而入獄。仍然因為他們的宗教信仰,因為他們的興趣,因為他們所愛的人而蒙受牢獄之災(zāi),現(xiàn)在這種情況仍然在發(fā)生。所以我們也必須為了公正而戰(zhàn),為公正而行動,為和平而行動?,F(xiàn)在還有太多的人沒有能夠獲得曼德拉所取得的成就的問責(zé),他們?nèi)匀唤?jīng)受著種族歧視的煎熬,仍然生活在水深火熱貧困當(dāng)中。曼德拉致力于自由,有很多領(lǐng)導(dǎo)說是維護曼德拉的價值觀,但是卻不能夠?qū)捜莸膶Υ麄冏约旱拿癖?。而我們有很多人在邊線當(dāng)中生活,我們就坐在一旁,卻沒有發(fā)出自己的聲音。我們的聲音必須要聽到我們當(dāng)前面臨的問題,比如說推動和平和公正,如何推動自由和人權(quán),如何結(jié)束紛爭以及戰(zhàn)爭。這一些問題不好解答,也不好解決,但是很多問題都不好解答。比如說在一戰(zhàn)當(dāng)中出生了曼德拉,也業(yè)面臨著那么多的難題,但是他卻會在解決問題之前不斷地奮斗,直到一切解決為止。南非展示給我們,我們可以變化,我們可以建造這樣一個世界,根基不是我們之間的差異,而是我們之間的共同點;不是紛爭,而是機會和和平。我們無法再見到曼德拉了,但是我想告訴南非的年輕人,以及世界各國的年輕人。你們也可以使他的人生變成你們自己的。在三十年前我還是一個學(xué)生,我學(xué)習(xí)了曼德拉的事跡了,了解了他在南非國土上所做出的奮斗。當(dāng)時點燃了我身體當(dāng)中的某些信念,使我想到了我的責(zé)任對我自己和其他人的責(zé)任,使我踏上這樣一條旅程,一直到我今天所在的位置。我永遠無法成為像曼德拉那樣偉大的人,但是他讓我想成為更好的人。他能喚醒我們每個人心中最美好的部分。他這個偉大的自由斗士已然安息,我們會回到各自的生活和工作崗位,重新開始我們的日常生活。在這個過程當(dāng)中讓我們繼續(xù)找尋他的力量,找尋他偉大的精神,就在我們自己的心中,在我們自己的體內(nèi)找到他的這種精神。當(dāng)我們的心上仍然受到不公正的負(fù)擔(dān),似乎美好的遠景無法實現(xiàn),在這些時候讓我們想想曼德拉,還有他刻在監(jiān)獄墻壁上的字。不管懲罰多么嚴(yán)厲,我仍然會掌握我自己的命運,我是我靈魂的船長,多么偉大的靈魂啊。我們深切地思念他,愿上帝保佑曼德拉的靈魂,愿上帝保佑南非民眾!第五篇:奧巴馬在曼德拉追悼會上的致辭(英文)奧巴馬在曼德拉追悼會上的致辭(英文)Remarks by President Obama at Memorial Service for Former SouthAfrican President Nelson MandelaTime:December 10, 2013Place: First National Bank Stadium, Johannesburg, South AfricaTo Gra231。aMachel and the Mandela family。to President Zuma and members of the government。to heads of states and government, past and present。distinguished guests it is a singular honor to be with you today, to celebrate a life like no the people of South Africa people of every race and walk of life the world thanks you for sharing Nelson Mandela with struggle was your triumph was your dignity and your hope found expression in his your freedom, your democracy is his cherished is hard to eulogize any man to capture in words not just the facts and the dates that make a life, but the essential truth of a person their private joys and sorrows。the quiet moments and unique qualities that illuminate someone’s much harder to do so for a giant of history, who moved a nation toward justice, and in the process moved billions around the during World War I, far from the corridors of power, a boy raised herding cattle and tutored by the elders of his Thembu tribe, Madiba would emerge as the last great liberator of the 20th Gandhi, he would lead a resistance movement a movement that at its start had little prospect for , he would give potent voice to the claims of the oppressed and the moral necessity of racial would endure a brutal imprisonment that began in the time of Kennedy and Khrushchev, and reached the final days of the Cold from prison, without the force of arms, he would like Abraham Lincoln hold his country together when it threatened to break like America’s Founding Fathers, he would erect a constitutional order to preserve freedom for future generations a mitment to democracy and rule of law ratified not only by his election, but by his willingness to step down from power after only one the sweep of his life, the scope of his acplishments, the adoration that he so rightly earned, it’s tempting I think to remember Nelson Mandela as an icon, smiling and serene, detached from the tawdry affairs of lesser Madiba himself strongly resisted such a lifeless , Madiba insisted on sharing with us his doubts and his fears。his miscalculations along with his victories.“I am not a saint,” he said, “unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.”It was precisely because he could admit to imperfection because he could be so full of good humor, even mischief, despite the heavy burdens he carried that we loved him was not a bust made of marble。he was a man of flesh and blood a son and a husband, a father and a that’s why we learned so much from him, and that’s why we can learn from him nothing he achieved was the arc of his life, we see a man who earned his place in history through struggle and shrewdness, and persistence and tells us what is possible not just in the pages of history books, but in our own lives as showed us the power of action。of taking risks on behalf of our Madiba was right that he inherited, “a proud rebelliousness, a stubborn sense of fairness” from his we know he shared with millions of black and colored South Africans the anger born of, “a thousand slights, a thousand indignities, a thousand unremembered moments…a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people,” he like other early giants of the ANCthe Sisulus and TambosMadiba disciplined his anger and channeled his desire to fight into organization, and platforms, and strategies for action, so men and women could stand up for their Godgiven , he accepted the consequences of his actions, knowing that standing up to powerful interests and injustice carries a price.“I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black ’ve cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and [with] equal is an ideal which I hope to live for and to if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”Mandela taught us the power of action, b
