In 1944, a black man called Nelson Mandela began working for anti-apartheid movement when he was 26 years old. He was a powerful leader, but was arrested in 1962. He was in prison for a long time, and kept fighting against apartheid. But at last, he became free in 1990 because De Klerk, the white South African president at that time, decided to finish apartheid. Nelson Mandela and the former president De Klerk received the Nobel Peace Prize together in 1993. Next year, [C] Mandela became the first South African president who was a black man. Now he is 92 years old but he is still working for world peace. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- law=法律 (be) arrested=逮捕される(た) enter(ed)=立ち入る land=土地 public toilets=公衆トイレ Nelson Mandela=ネルソン・マンデラ anti-apartheid movement=反アパルトヘイト運動 powerful leader=強力な指導者 prison=牢獄 fight(ing)=戦う at last=ついに free=自由 De Klerk=デクラーク South African=南アフリカの president=大統領 at that time=その当時の former~=前~ |
