Here are 10 surprising facts you probably didn't know about Nelson Mandela:

关于纳尔逊·曼德拉，你可能不知道的10个令人惊讶的事实：

1. He lived up to his name

他辜负了他的名字

Mandela's birth name was Rolihlahla. In his Xhosa tribe the name means pulling the branch of a tree or troublemaker. The name "Nelson" was given to him by his teacher on his first day of elementary school. It's not clear why she chose that particular name. It was the 1920s and African children were given English names so colonial masters could pronounce them easily.

曼德拉的姓氏是Rolihlahla。在他的科萨（Khosa）部落中，这个名字的意思是拉树枝或麻烦制造者。在他上小学的第一天，他的老师就给他起了“纳尔逊”的名字。还不清楚她为什么选择这个名字。那是在1920年代，非洲孩子被赋予了英文名字，从而方便殖民地主人可以很容易地发音。

2. He had a cameo in a Spike Lee film

他在Spike Lee的电影中有个客串

He had a part in Spike Lee's 1992 biopic "Malcolm X." At the very end of the movie he plays a teacher reciting Malcolm X's famous speech to a room full of Soweto school kids. But the pacifist Mandela wouldn't say "by any means necessary." So Lee cut back to footage of Malcolm X to close out the film.

他曾参与Spike Lee的1992年传记片《 Malcolm X》。在电影的最后，他扮演一位老师，在一个充满索韦托小学生的房间里朗诵马尔科姆·X的著名演讲。但是和平主义者曼德拉不会说“任何必要的手段”。因此，Lee以后把结尾切换成了一组连续的镜头。

3. There's a woodpecker named after him

有一只以他命名的啄木鸟

From Cape Town to California streets named after Mandela abound. But he's also been the subject of some rather unusual tributes. Scientists have named a prehistoric woodpecker after him: Australopicus nelsonmandelai. In 1973 the physics institute at Leeds University named a nuclear particle the 'Mandela particle.'

从开普敦到加利福尼亚，以曼德拉命名的街道比比皆是。但他也曾受到一些相当不寻常的敬意。科学家以他之名命名了史前啄木鸟：Australopicus nelsonmandelai。 1973年，利兹大学物理研究所将核粒子命名为“曼德拉粒子”。

4. He married a first lady他娶了第一夫人

Before tying the knot with Mandela on his 80th birthday Graça Machel was married to Mozambique President Samora Machel. Her marriage to Mandela after her husband's death means she has been the first lady of two nations.

Samora Machel

格拉萨·马切尔（GraçaMachel）在为曼德拉（Mandela）庆祝80岁生日之前，曾经与莫桑比克总统萨莫拉·马切尔（Samora Machel）有过一段婚姻。丈夫去世后与曼德拉的婚姻意味着她是两国的第一夫人。

5. He was a master of disguise

他是伪装大师

When Mandela was eluding authorities during his fight against apartheid he disguised himself in various ways including as a chauffeur. The press nicknamed him "the Black Pimpernel" because of his police evasion tactics. "I became a creature of the night. I would keep to my hideout during the day and would emerge to do my work when it became dark " he says in his biography "Long Walk to Freedom."

曼德拉在与种族隔离的斗争中逃避权威时，他以各种方式伪装自己，包括作为一名司机。由于他的警察逃避战术，新闻界称他为“黑水兵”。他在自己的传记《漫长的自由之旅》中说：“我成为了夜晚的生物。白天我会躲藏起来，天黑时会出来做我的工作。”

尚恩的老师们也是给很多同学都安利了这本书， 看完后，无论是是对于世界的认知还是对于人生的选择都有很大的影响！

6. A bloody sport intrigued him

一项流血的运动吸引了他

Besides politics Mandela's other passion was boxing. "I did not like the violence of boxing. I was more interested in the science of it - how you move your body to protect yourself how you use a plan to attack and retreat and how you pace yourself through a fight " he says in his biography.

除政治外，曼德拉的另一爱好是拳击。他说：“我不喜欢拳击的暴力。我对拳击的科学更感兴趣-你如何运动自己的身体来保护自己，如何使用计划进攻和撤退以及如何通过搏斗来加快自己的步伐，”在他的传记中他这样来描述拳击。

7. His favorite dish is probably not yours

他最喜欢的菜可能不是你的

He's been wined and dined by world leaders. But Mandela loved the simple pleasures of a traditional meal. One of his favorite meals was tripe which is served in many African cultures.

他已经被世界各国领导人用美酒和佳肴宴请过。但是曼德拉还是喜欢传统的美食。他最喜欢的就是在非洲文化中很常见的牛肚。

8. He quit his day job

他辞掉了日常工作

He studied law at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and opened the nation's first Black law firm in the city in 1952.

他在约翰内斯堡的威特沃特斯兰德大学学习法律，并于1952年在该市开设了美国第一家黑人律师事务所。

9. He was on the US terror watch list

他在美国恐怖观察名单上

Mandela wasn't removed from the US terror watch list until 2008 -- at age 89. He and other members of the African National Congress were placed on it because of their militant fight against apartheid.

曼德拉直到2008年才被从美国的恐怖观察名单中移除，享年89岁。他和非洲人大常委会其他成员都榜上有名因为他们对于种族隔离的激进抵抗。

10. He drew his inspiration from a poem

他从一首诗中汲取了灵感

While he was in prison Mandela would read William Ernest Henley's "Invictus" to fellow prisoners. The poem about never giving up resonated with Mandela for its lines "I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." You may know it from the movie by the same name starring Morgan Freeman as Mandela.

在监狱期间，曼德拉会向囚犯们朗读威廉·欧内斯特·亨利的《罪犯》。这首永不放弃的诗因其台词“我是命运的主人。我是灵魂的队长”而引起曼德拉的共鸣。你可能会从电影中得知它，该电影由摩根·弗里曼（Morgan Freeman）和曼德拉（Mandela）主演。
