关于曼德拉，你不知道的10个令人惊讶的事实！(2)

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.
