"It would ... be inappropriate for him to personally attend the World Cup opening celebrations," the Nelson Mandela Foundation said in a statement on Friday morning.

曼德拉基金会在周五早晨的声明中说,“现在他亲自出席世界杯开幕式不太……合适。”

Zenani Mandela, 13, died in an accident while returning from the World Cup concert.

曼德拉的曾孙女泽纳尼-曼德拉在从世界杯音乐会返家路上发生车祸丧生,年仅13岁。

"We are sure that South Africans and people all over the world will stand in solidarity with Mr Mandela and his family in the aftermath of this tragedy."

“我们相信在这场悲剧发生之后南非和全世界的人民都会团结一致的支持曼德拉先生和他的家人。”

"We continue to believe that the World Cup is a momentous and historic occasion for SA and the continent and we are certain it will be a huge success. Madiba will be there with you in spirit today."

“我们仍然相信世界杯对南非和整个非洲来说都是一个隆重的、历史性的盛会,我们也仍然相信本届世界杯会取得巨大的成功。曼德拉在精神上会和你们同在。”
