名人励志英语演讲 第33期:为理想我愿献出生命(7)(在线收听

   The apartheid destruction on my subcontinent is in calculable. The fabric of family life of millions of my people has been shattered. Millions are homeless and unemployed. Our economy lies in ruins and our people are embroiled in political strife. Our resort to the armed struggle in 1960 with the formation of the military wing of the ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe, was a purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid.

  种族隔离制度给我们这片次大陆造成了难以估量的破坏。我们成千上万人的家庭生活遭到了毁坏。几百万人流离失所,没有工作。我们的经济遭到严重破坏,我们的人民卷入了政治冲突。我们在1960年诉诸武装斗争,建立了非洲人民国民大会的战斗组织——“民族之矛”,这纯属为反抗种族隔离制度的暴力而采取的自卫行动。
  The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement will be created soon so that there may no longer be the need for the armed struggle.
  今天,必须进行武装斗争的种种原因依然存在,因此除了继续进行武装斗争外我们别无选择。我们希望,不久将会出现一种有利于通过谈判解决问题的局面,这样就没有必要再开展武装斗争了。
