        But while some reflected on the remarkable life of Nelson Mandela, some world leaders saw it as the perfect opportunity to grab a quick 'selfie' with their peers.追悼会上，曼德拉一生中不平凡的瞬间被一一展现；但同时，一些国家领导人却把它当成了与他国领导人迅速“自拍”的绝好机会。
        Perhaps not in keeping with the tone of a memorial service, US President Barack Obama, Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt grinned as they cosied up for a quick picture at today's memorial service for the former South African president, prompting an outpouring of criticism.与追悼会氛围不符的是，美国总统奥巴马、英国首相卡梅伦和丹麦首相赫勒·托宁·施密特坐在一起说笑起来，还在追悼会上玩起了自拍。这也引起了网民的广泛争议。

        As the trio posed for the mobile phone snap, Obama's wife Michelle sat alongside her husband looking less than impressed.当这三位领导人拿着手机玩自拍时，第一夫人米歇尔则坐在一旁一脸不悦。

        To people watching inside the FNB stadium and in the wider South Africa, he said: "The world thanks you for sharing Nelson Mandela with us. His struggle was your struggle. His triumph was your triumph." 奥巴马对FNB体育场内在座的观众以及南非群众说：“世界感谢你们，能与我们分享曼德拉的伟大。曼德拉的斗争也是你们的斗争。他的胜利也是你们的胜利。 ”
