mandela's garden原文及翻译原文：In the midst of a busy city, there is a small park called Mandela's Garden. It is a place where people from all walks of life come to relax and unwind. The garden is named after Nelson Mandela, a famous anti-apartheid activist and former president of South Africa.The garden is filled with lush trees and flowers, and there are plenty of paths for people to walk and take in the scenery. In the center of the garden, there is a small pond with a view of the city skyline in the distance. At night, the park is illuminated by soft lighting, creating a peaceful atmosphere.People come to Mandela's Garden for many reasons. Some come to meditate or pray, while others come to read or simply enjoy the beauty of nature. The garden is also a place where people can connect withtheir loved ones who are away, providing a sense of comfort and connection.The garden is a testament to the power of community and kindness. It is a place where people from different backgrounds can come together and share in the beauty of nature and the goodness of one another's company.翻译：曼德拉的花园在繁忙的城市之中，有一个小公园被人们称为曼德拉的花园。
2014101018第十单元Translation of Text A曼德拉的菜园1 1977年初，当局宣布解除集体劳动，给我们安排了一些院内的工作，因此我们可以在自己的这片区域里打发时间了。
结束了体力劳动就像解放了一样。
现在我每天可以读书、谢辛和我的狱友讨论问题，或者准备法律文件。
时间上的自由还得以让我继续从事在罗本岛上培养起来的两大爱好：园艺和网球。
2 为了在狱中生存，你必须使自己在日常生活中得到满足。
你可以通过把衣服洗的特别干净，把门前过道打扫得一尘不染，或把自己的牢房整理出尽可能大的空间这些方法使自己感到充实。
同一个在监狱外的人为自己完成重要任务而感到骄傲一样，监狱的人也可以完成未完成一件小事而同样感到自豪。
3 几乎刚在罗本岛被判刑时起，我就向当局提出申请，我在院子里开垦一块菜园。
多年来，他们没有给出任何原因，却一直拒绝我的请求。
但最终他们让步了，这样我们能够在远处墙根下一块狭长的地面上划出小片面积的地方做菜园。
4 院子里的土壤很干，而且石头很多。
这个院子在建起来之前是个垃圾场，因此为了开辟这个园子，我的清除掉大量的石头，给植物留出生长的空间。
当时，一些狱友开玩笑说我骨子里是个矿工，整天呆在一片荒地里，把自己的空闲时间都花费在挖院子里的地了。
5 狱方给我提供了种子。
开始时，我种了番茄、辣椒和洋葱——都是些不需要肥沃的土壤或经常照料的生命力很强的植物。
早期的收成不好，但很快状况就有了改善。
狱方不会后悔允许我开辟菜园种菜的，因为菜园的蔬菜长的好起来后，我就经常给看守们一些最好的番茄和洋葱。
6 虽然我一直喜爱园艺，但直到入狱后我才得到一片属于自己的菜园。
在园艺方面的第一次经历是在海尔堡，那是大学时作为体力劳动要求的一部分，我在一位教授家的院子里干活，在那里我享受着脑力劳动之余和土地之间的接触。
但自从我到约翰内斯堡学习并工作以后，就在没有时间和没有地方种菜了。
7 我开始订阅一些关于园艺方面的书籍。

Nelson Mandela (1918-)Nelson Mandela was born in a village near Umtata on the 18 July 1918.Mandela:The struggle is my lifeHe is still leading the fight against apartheid with extraordinary vigor and resilience after spending nearly three decades of his life behind bars.He has sacrificed his private life and his youth for his people, and remains South Africa's best known and loved hero.Mandela has held numerous positions in the African National Congress Youth League. ANCYL secretary (1948);ANCYL president (1950);ANC Transvaal president (1952);deputy national president (1952)ANC president (1991).He was convicted and jailed for five years in November 1962. While serving his sentence, he was charged with sabotage and sentenced to life imprisonment.2. Robben IslandIt is where he was imprisoned, became a center for learning, and Mandela was a central figurein the organized political education classes.In prison Mandela never compromised his political principles and wasalways a source of strength for the other prisoners.Nelson Mandela was released on February 18, 1990. After his release, he plunged himself wholeheartedly into his life's work, striving to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier.3. Apartheidn. (in South Africa) official government policy of racial segregation, separating Europeans and non-Europeans种族隔离4. Ethnocentrism: n.1)Belief in the superiority of one's own ethnic group.2) Overriding concern with race.5. Genocide: n.The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.6. ThemeFor Mandela, gardening is the source of spiritual fulfillment. Gardening gives Mandela inspiration for his revolutionary cause. Political leaders are like gardeners.ⅡWarm-up activities1. Do you know anything about gardening?2. Describe a scene living in a garden city.ⅢDetailed study of the textPara 11. In early 1977, the authorities announced the end of manual labor and arranged work for us to do in the courtyard, so we could spend our days in our section.the authorities---the people or organizations in charge. Here it refers to the prison authorities. 2. announce the end of manual labor---In the past, Mandela and other political prisoners locked up on Robben Island were to work in a quarry cutting stones, which was very hard manual labor.3. section---the part of prison where Mandela and other political prisoners were kept.4. liberatingThis arrangement not only freed the prisoners from hard manual labor, but also saved them long trips to and from the quarry so that they now had time and energy for things they were unable to do in the past.5. preparing legal documents---This shows that Mandela did not ask for a lawyer. He had decided to be his own lawyer.6. pursue---to continue trying to do or achieve sth over a long period of timen. pursuitPara 27. get satisfaction from/find satisfaction in/take satisfaction in or from sth8. develop---create sth over a period of time9. feel fulfilled---feel happy and satisfied because you are doing useful or important things10. empty of dust---completely without dust11. take pride in---be proud ofPara 311. give in to---finally agree to what sb wants, after refusing for a period of timePara 412. garbage dump---a place where garbage is taken and left13.

While I have always enjoyed gardening, it was not until I was behind bars that I was able to tend my own garden.while---althoughbe behind bars---be in prisontend---look after sth/sbAlthough I have always loved gardening, I didn’t have a garden of my own until I was in prison.22. contact withtouch, get in touch with23. alternative---choice24. neither… norPara 725. through trial and error---a way of achieving an aim or solving a problem by trying a number of different methods and learning from the mistakes that you madePara 826. enduring satisfaction---satisfaction that lasts for a very long time27. This sense of being the owner of the small patch of earth offered a small taste of freedom.sense---a particular feeling about sthBeing aware that you could grow whatever you wanted on a small piece of land enabled you to enjoy a small amount of freedom.Para 928. In some ways, I saw the garden as a metaphor for certain aspects of my life.see sth/sb as---see sth/sb in a particular way; regard sth asmetaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole/exaggeration, repetitioncertain aspects of my life---a national leader, the handling of human relationship in general, and of his marriage with Winnie in particularPara 1029. Leaders must also look after their gardens; they, too, plant seeds, and then watch, cultivate, and harvest the results.Mandela is here comparing his gardening with his responsibility as a national leader. As in gardening, in his struggle as an ANC leader, he also has to plant seeds, and take care of what he has planted until in the end he harvests the results.Q: What do “garden”, “plant seeds”, “watch”, “watch”, “cultivate”, “harvest the result” symbolize/represent respectively?30. mind one’s work---take care of sth/sb; watch or be in charge of sth/sbPara 1131. When it finally died, I removed the roots from the soil, washed them, and buried them in a corner of the garden.By telling Winnie what he did with the dead tomato plant in detail, Mandela wanted her to know he cared about their marriage and felt very sorry about their worsening relationship.32. wither---fade33. either through some mistake or lack of care, the plant began to wither and decline, and nothingI did would bring it back to health.Mandela seemed to feel that he was partly responsible for the way his relationship with his wife had declined, and that was why he did what he could to save their marriage. But he felt that their marriage probably wouldn’t survive.Para 1134. at length---for a long time, in a full and complete way, in detail35. I do not know what she read into that letterread into sth---think that an action, remark or situation has a particular importance of meaning, often when this is not true.I do not know how she understood that letter.36. Sometimes there is nothing one can do to save something that must die.If sth which is unavoidable/inevitable, you have to accept it.ⅣStructure analysisPart One: (paras.1-8) describes his gardening experience. It shows how Mandela takes this hobby as a survival strategy. The gardening gives him satisfaction, offers a taste of freedom, and makes him strong physically and mentally.Part Two: (paras.9-11) goes further to explain the significance of his gardening experience, which has become a metaphor and gives him inspirationship (specifically with his wife).ⅤExercises。

2014101018第十单元Translation of Text A曼德拉的菜园1 1977年初，当局宣布解除集体劳动，给我们安排了一些院内的工作，因此我们可以在自己的这片区域里打发时间了。
结束了体力劳动就像解放了一样。
现在我每天可以读书、谢辛和我的狱友讨论问题，或者准备法律文件。
时间上的自由还得以让我继续从事在罗本岛上培养起来的两大爱好：园艺和网球。
2 为了在狱中生存，你必须使自己在日常生活中得到满足。
你可以通过把衣服洗的特别干净，把门前过道打扫得一尘不染，或把自己的牢房整理出尽可能大的空间这些方法使自己感到充实。
同一个在监狱外的人为自己完成重要任务而感到骄傲一样，监狱的人也可以完成未完成一件小事而同样感到自豪。
3 几乎刚在罗本岛被判刑时起，我就向当局提出申请，我在院子里开垦一块菜园。
多年来，他们没有给出任何原因，却一直拒绝我的请求。
但最终他们让步了，这样我们能够在远处墙根下一块狭长的地面上划出小片面积的地方做菜园。
4 院子里的土壤很干，而且石头很多。
这个院子在建起来之前是个垃圾场，因此为了开辟这个园子，我的清除掉大量的石头，给植物留出生长的空间。
当时，一些狱友开玩笑说我骨子里是个矿工，整天呆在一片荒地里，把自己的空闲时间都花费在挖院子里的地了。
5 狱方给我提供了种子。
开始时，我种了番茄、辣椒和洋葱——都是些不需要肥沃的土壤或经常照料的生命力很强的植物。
早期的收成不好，但很快状况就有了改善。
狱方不会后悔允许我开辟菜园种菜的，因为菜园的蔬菜长的好起来后，我就经常给看守们一些最好的番茄和洋葱。
6 虽然我一直喜爱园艺，但直到入狱后我才得到一片属于自己的菜园。
在园艺方面的第一次经历是在海尔堡，那是大学时作为体力劳动要求的一部分，我在一位教授家的院子里干活，在那里我享受着脑力劳动之余和土地之间的接触。
但自从我到约翰内斯堡学习并工作以后，就在没有时间和没有地方种菜了。
7 我开始订阅一些关于园艺方面的书籍。
