这个英语句子我完全搞不懂！希望翻译一下并结构分析！谢谢！He was made president of South Africa and government by and for the black people was finally set up.

Answer 1

先分成两部分：

(He was made president of South Africa) and (government by and for the people was finally set up).

为了理解方便，把被动转换成主动，并加上省略的词：

[People] made him [become] the president of South Africa;

[People] finally set up a government [that was] by the black people and for the black people;

翻译一下就是：

他成为了南非的总统，更重要的是：一个为了黑人、完全由黑人建立的政府终于成立了。

题外话：

"by and for the black people"是借鉴了美国总统林肯在葛底斯堡演说中的著名排比句："Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth."

在我国，有一位长者，也非常喜欢朗诵这句话 ;)
