5 Sharpeville

Chapter 5 Sharpeville Nelson and his fellow defendants did not have to live in jail during the trial. They were let out on bail. They had to pay the government money as a promise they wouldn't escape to another country. When Nelson went home he found an empty house. His wife,

沙佩维尔·纳尔逊和其他被告在审判期间不必住在监狱里。 他们被保释了。 他们必须付给政府钱，以保证他们不会逃到另一个国家。 当纳尔逊回到家时，他发现一间空房子。 他的妻子,

Evelyn, had left and wanted a divorce. Nelson later said, "I could not give up my life in the struggle, and she could not live with my devotion to something other than herself and the family." They were divorced in 1958. The "Treason Trial," as it came to be called, lasted from 1956 to 1961. When Nelson wasn't at court he threw himself into his law practice with Oliver Tambo. Tambo's charges were unexpectedly dropped after the first year, so he had more freedom to help black South Africans accused of crimes. As the months went by, charges were dropped against more of the defendants. By 1959 only thirty of the 156 defendants were still facing charges in this trial, including Nelson.

伊芙琳离开了，想要离婚。 纳尔逊后来说：“我不能在斗争中放弃自己的生命，而她也不能忍受我对自己和家庭以外的事情的奉献。” 他们于1958年离婚。 后来被称为“叛国罪审判”的审判从1956年持续到1961年。 当尼尔森不在法庭上时，他全身心地投入到奥利弗·坦博的律师事务所。 坦博的指控在一年后出人意料地被撤销，因此他有更多的自由来帮助被指控犯罪的南非黑人。 几个月过去了，对更多被告的指控被撤销。 到1959年，156名被告中只有30人仍然面临审判，包括纳尔逊。

One day during the trial Nelson glimpsed a woman waiting for a bus. She was beautiful. He longed to see her again, but he had no idea who she was. Some weeks later, the same woman arrived at his office. She had come with her brother to ask for legal help.

有一天，在审判期间，纳尔逊瞥见一名妇女在等公共汽车。 她很漂亮。他渴望再次见到她，但他不知道她是谁。 几周后，同一个女人来到他的办公室。 她是和哥哥一起来寻求法律帮助的。

Her name was Nomzamo Winifred Madikizela— Winnie for short. Her name meant "she who strives." She was one of the first black hospital social workers in South Africa. Nelson asked her out for Indian food. Unlike Nelson's ex-wife Evelyn, Winnie was passionate about the ANC and politics. After that very first date, he proposed to Winnie. And she said yes! They were married on June 14, 1958. Winnie loved to watch her husband making speeches or arguing for civil rights. She attended protests and was arrested. She and Nelson had a baby girl, Zenani (called Zeni),

她的名字是Nomzamo Winifred Madikizela，简称Winnie。 她的名字的意思是“奋斗的人”。 她是南非第一批黑人医院社工之一。 纳尔逊约她出去吃印度菜。 与纳尔逊的前妻伊芙琳不同，温妮对非国大和政治充满热情。 第一次约会之后，他就向温妮求婚了。 她答应了！他们于1958年6月14日结婚。 温妮喜欢看她丈夫发表演讲或为民权而辩论。 她参加了抗议活动并被捕。 她和纳尔逊生了一个女儿，名叫泽纳尼（Zenani），

in 1959. Meanwhile, the ANC was changing. Nelson dreamed of a South Africa where white and black people lived together as friends. He thought the ANC should reach out to white citizens who were against apartheid. But many in the ANC did not want to work with white people. They didn't trust white South Africans. They did not want to compromise with the white apartheid government. In 1959 a civil rights leader, Robert Sobukwe, left the ANC. He founded PAC, the Pan Africanist Congress. Its slogan was "Our Land." In March 1960, PAC asked blacks without their passbooks to approach policemen and get arrested on purpose. They hoped the jails would get so full that the government would have no choice but to get rid of the laws. Nelson thought this approach would put people

在1959年。与此同时，非国大也在发生变化。 纳尔逊梦想着一个白人和黑人像朋友一样生活在一起的南非。 他认为非国大应该向反对种族隔离的白人公民伸出援手。 但许多非国大成员不愿与白人合作。 他们不信任南非白人。 他们不想与白人种族隔离政府妥协。 1959年，民权领袖Robert Sobukwe离开了非国大。 他创立了PAC，泛非主义者大会。 它的口号是“我们的土地”。 1960年3月，PAC要求没有存折的黑人去找警察，故意被逮捕。 他们希望监狱人满为患，这样政府就别无选择，只能废除这些法律。 纳尔逊认为这种方法会让人们
