2013年12月5日，南非前总统曼德拉因病逝世，享年95岁。美国总统奥巴马发表电视讲话悼念曼德拉。演讲中，奥巴马表示，如果没有曼德拉树立的榜样，“我完全无法想象自己的生活”。曼德拉是一位部落酋长的长子，走上颠沛流离的求索之路，成为“反抗种族隔离制度的斗士”，他身陷囹圄27年，出狱后，77岁当选为民主国家南非的第一位黑人总统。香港Beyond乐队黄家驹曾创作歌曲《光辉岁月》向其致敬。这位被尊称为“南非国父”的南非首位黑人总统，受到全世界人民的爱戴，一生充满了传奇，有人感叹说，他是当今世上唯一可以被称作“圣人”的人。此时，重温他在历史各个重要关头所留下的至理名言，依旧可以感受到曼德拉坚韧、睿智、幽默和豁达的人格魅力。
At his trial in 1964， Nelson Mandela closed his statement from the 1）dock saying， “I have fought against white 2）domination and I have fought against black domination. I’ve cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be， it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”
Nelson Mandela lived for that ideal and he made it real. He achieved more than could be expected of any man. Today he’s gone home and we’ve lost one of the most influential， courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this Earth. He no longer belongs to us； he belongs to the ages.
Through his 3）fierce dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom of others， Madiba transformed South Africa and moved all of us. His journey from a prisoner to a president 4）embodied the promise that human beings and countries can change for the better.
His commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who 5）jailed him set an example that all humanity should 6）aspire to， whether in the lives of nations or in our own personal lives. And the fact that he did it all with grace and good humor and an ability to acknowledge his own 7）imperfections， only makes the man that much more remarkable. As he once said，“I’m not a saint unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.”
I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s life. My very first political action—the first thing I ever did that involved an issue or a policy or politics was a protest against 8）apartheid. I would study his words and his writings. The day he was released from prison it gave me a sense of what human beings can do when they’re guided by their hopes and not by their fears.
And like so many around the globe， I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set. And so long as I live， I will do what I can to learn from him.
To Graca Machel and his family， Michelle and I extend our deepest sympathy and gratitude for sharing this extraordinary man with us. His life’s work meant long days away from those who loved him most， and I only hope that the time spent with him these last few weeks brought peace and comfort to his family. To the people of South Africa， we draw strength from the example of renewal and reconciliation and 9）resilience that you made real： a free South Africa at peace with itself. That’s an example to the world， and that’s Madiba’s legacy to the nation that he loved.
We will not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again， so it falls to us as best we can to forward the example that he set， to make decisions guided not by hate， but by love， to never 10）discount the difference that one person can make， to strive for a future that is worthy of his sacrifice.
For now， let us pause and give thanks for the fact that Nelson Mandela lived， a man who took history in his hands and bent the 11）arc of the moral universe towards justice. May God bless his memory and keep him in peace.
在1964年接受审判时，纳尔逊？曼德拉在被告席上作结案陈词时说道：“我曾为反对白人统治而斗争，也曾为反对黑人统治而斗争。（创建）一个民主和自由的社会是我一直珍藏着的理想，让所有人都生活在一个和谐共处、机会均等的社会中。我希望为这个理想而奋斗终生并将其付诸实现。但是，如果需要，我也准备着为这个理想献出生命。”
纳尔逊？曼德拉为了这个理想而奋斗终生，并将其变成了现实。
他的成就超出了我们能够寄望于任何一个人去取得的。
今天，他安息了。而我们失去了在这个地球上我们任何一个人能与之共度时光的人中最具影响力、最有勇气、最无比善良的其中一位。他不再属于我们——他属于千秋万代。
马迪巴（曼德拉的族名，也是他的昵称）以其强烈的尊严以及为了他人的自由不惜牺牲自己自由的不屈不挠的意志，改变了南非的面貌，并感动了我们所有人。他从一名囚徒变成一位总统的历程体现了全人类以及各个国家都能变得更美好的希望。
他移交权力并同那些关押他的人和解的承诺树立了一个全人类都应当追求的典范，不论是在国家生活中，还是在我们的个人生活中。而事实上，他在做这一切时还能保持风度和幽默，以及承认自己不足的能力，只会使他更加卓尔不群。他曾说过：“我不是一个圣人，除非你们认为圣人是一个不断努力的罪人。”
我是从曼德拉的一生得到启迪的无数人当中的一员。我从事的第一次政治活动，第一次跟任何议题、政策或者政治有关的活动，是一次反对种族隔离的抗议。我学习过他的言论和文章。他走出监狱的那一天使我意识到，当人类前进是由希望引导而非恐惧的时候，他们是何等的大有作为。
和世界各地许多人一样，如果没有曼德拉树立的榜样，我完全无法想象自己的生活。在我的有生之年，我将竭尽所能向他学习。
米歇尔和我谨向格拉萨？马歇尔和曼德拉的家人致以最深沉的慰唁，并感谢他们与我们分享这位不平凡的人。他的毕生奉献意味着长年累月远离最爱他的人们。我真切地希望与他共同度过的最后这几个星期为他的家人带来了平静与安慰。
对于南非人民，你们通过实现复兴、和解和适应力所树立的榜样给予了我们力量。一个自由、和平的南非——这是世界的榜样，这是马迪巴为他所热爱的国家留下的遗产。
我们可能难以再见到像纳尔逊？曼德拉这样的伟人。因此，我们的责任是尽我们所能把他树立的榜样传承下去：基于爱——而不是恨——来作决定；永远不要低估一个人所能带来的变化；努力建设一个无愧于他的牺牲的未来。
现在，让我们停下来，为纳尔逊？曼德拉曾经活着而表达我们的感激之情——他用双手握住历史，把道德宇宙的长虹折向正义。愿上帝保佑他的英灵，使他安息。
