马丁·路德·金：一位和平的领袖

Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1929. He and his family lived in a pretty yellow house in Atlanta, Georgia. His father was a minister.

马丁·路德·金出生于1929年。 他和他的家人住在佐治亚州亚特兰大的一所漂亮的黄色房子里。 他的父亲是一位牧师。

There were lots of books at home. Young Martin was a happy child. But as he grew older, he realized that black people and white people were not treated the same way.

家里有很多书。 小马丁是个快乐的孩子。 但随着年龄的增长，他意识到黑人和白人并没有受到同样的对待。

Once, Martin's father took him to buy new shoes. The white salesman asked them to move to the back of the store. They left.

有一次，马丁的父亲带他去买新鞋。 白人售货员让他们搬到商店后面去。 他们离开了。

Another time, Martin accidentally stepped on a white lady's toe. She slapped him and called him a bad name. He did not react with anger. He believed that bravery meant peacefully standing your ground.

还有一次，马丁不小心踩到了一位白人女士的脚趾。 她扇了他一巴掌，还骂他。 他没有生气。 他认为勇敢意味着和平地坚持自己的立场。

At home Martin learned to listen, ask questions, and speak up. He finished high school in just two years. He went to college at age fifteen.

在家里，马丁学会了倾听、提问和大声说出来。 他只用了两年就完成了高中学业。 他十五岁上大学。
