He renounced his claim to the chieftainship because he didn't want to oppress the people as a ruler. In 1944,he joined the African National Congress, known as ANC, a black-liberation group ,and in 1949 he became one of its leaders , helping to revitalize the organization and opposing the apartheid policies South Africa's official system of segregation and discrimination against the country's nonwhite majority. In 1960, after the police shot more than 200 unarmed black protesters at Sharpeville and the government banned the ANC, Mandela abandoned his nonviolent stance and began to advocate acts of sabotage.

Ralph Ellison nimbly defends the blacks' humanity with his outstanding cultural vision, and his witty use of metaphors in language. He outdid the traditional literature focusing on moralistic propaganda by Mrs. Stowe, and the naturalistic protest fiction centering on hard boiled remonstration and violence by Richard Wright, firstly by speaking highly of the 191 century classic works by such white writers as Melville, Faulkner and Mark Twain, who showed humanistic spirit affirming the blacks' humanity, and secondly by making use of the highly symbolic arid subversive language both to represent negro's humanity and whites' inhumanity, and more importantly by probing into the universal human nature by alluding to the Riddle of the Sphinx, which demonstrates, in a broad sense, the author's humanistic concern for the living dilemma of the contemporary people and also his advocatory tendency to revive the humanistic spirit of the 19th century writers.

拉尔夫埃利森通过对梅尔维尔、福克纳和马克吐温等19世纪美国经典白人作家的作品解读，赞赏了这些作家在肯定黑人人性时表现出的人道主义精神；同时运用高度象征性和颠覆性的语言，展示了黑人的人性，揭示了白人的非人性；并通过"斯芬克斯之谜"典故的阐释，对普遍意义上的人性作了探讨，体现了作者对所有现代人的生存困境的关注，从而超越了以斯陀夫人小说为代表的注重道义宣传的传统文学，以及以理查德赖特的创作为代表的注重态度强硬的抗议与暴力表达的自然主义文学，体现出回归与提升19世纪人文主义作家人道主义精神的创作倾向。

An unprintable secret behind the scenes; the cover-up for evil deeds),黑道日（凶日,an unlucky day,黑话(the secret jargon, the argot of criminals),黑货(stolen goods; smuggled goods ; opium),黑业,黑脸,黑心(black heart, evil heart; greed),黑道人物(a gangster; an underworld figure),黑店an inn which is run by thieves as a trap to steal, rob or even murder unwary travelers

等等。我们也常一竿子打落一船人地说"天下乌鸦一般黑"来暗示一群人都不是好东西。中文的"黑"是相等于英文的"black"；用作名词时，其字义为"黑，黑色；黑色颜料；黑墨水；黑人；黑衣；中心黑点；黑斑；污点"等等。当作形容词使用时，则除了"黑的，黑色的；黑人的；黑衣的"等义之外，还用于表示"暗淡的，阴郁的，沮丧的；险恶的，邪恶的；不吉利的"等。本文的讨论范围将只限于这些表示后者的字义及其用法。

They will supposedly solve our problems with the Asians, who do not come from the Judeo-Christian tradition; the Communists, who do not even believe in God; the blacks, who have been shafted so often by God-fearing white men that there is hardly any common ground left between them; and the kids, who have heard those same song-and-dance sermons sung false so many times they may prefer dope to the audacious self-delusion of their elders.

他们应该拿出方案解决我们与亚洲人的问题，但这些亚洲人并不笃信犹太-基督教传统；还有共产党的问题，共产党人们甚至并不相信上帝；还有黑人的问题，黑人太经常地被敬畏上帝的白人不公正地对待，以至于他们之间几乎没有什么共同的立场；还有年轻一代的问题，这种花言巧语的虚伪布道，他们已经见识的太多了，他们也许可以预测出前辈们厚颜无耻和自欺欺人的言语。

Our trials and triumphs became at once unique and universal, black and more than black; in chronicling our journey, the stories and songs gave us a means to reclaim memories that we didn't need to feel shame about…memories that all people might study and cherish – and with which we could start to rebuild.

我们的 考验和胜利是独特的同时又是普遍的，是黑人的但又不仅是黑人的；这些故事和歌曲在记录我们的旅程的同时，给了我们一个找回记忆的方式，那些我们不必为之感到羞耻的记忆……那些所有的人们都会去研究和珍惜的记忆――有了这些记忆，我们就可以开始重建。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.
