That Africa is in no way the same as it is portrayed in the media.
I have seen so many movies where a person says they are going to Africa to help poverty or orphans or something. When they get there, this is how they make it seem.
Orphans：孤儿
我之前看到过很多电影，一个人说他将会去非洲帮助贫困儿童或者孤儿之类的。当他们到达那边的时候，他们看到的将会是这样子的。
And while I love the fact that Africa has such a vast amount of animals and has such beautiful terrains, not all of it is jungle.
I’ve literally been asked by a girl if I ride lions as a legitimate question. No trace of sarcasm on their face. It’s that bad.
Take Nigeria for instance, Nigeria has been so urbanized that I, who lived there for a long time, have literally never seen a giraffe, elephant or rhino, all of which are depicted in that photo.
Sarcasm：讽刺
对然我喜欢非洲有如此之多的动物和美丽的地貌，并且并不是所有的都是丛林。
我曾今被一个女孩问过骑狮子是不是合法的问题，当时并没有讽刺的意味，这就是一个坏的行为。
Believe it or not, Africa does have quite a lot of cities, Cape Town, Lagos, Cairo, all of these places have beautiful architecture and creations. So you can’t actually tell me that Africa is all jungle and forest.
And then the stereotype that all Africans are poor and dumb.
It is true that a lot of Africans are poverty stricken, but some of that poverty in quite a few countries, is caused by corruption.
Dumb：愚蠢
信不信由你，非洲已经有很多城市了，比如,Cape Town, Lagos, Cairo等，这些地方都有着漂亮的建筑物和景观。所以你不能说非洲只有丛林。
对非洲固有的印象是贫穷和愚蠢。
的确，在非洲有一些贫穷的区域，但是这只是在某些地区，并且有些贫穷是由于腐败造成的。
The leaders thus take the money for themselves and fellow politicians, leaving none for the citizens. That creates a wide gap between the poor and the rich. So therefore, those who are rich are extremely rich, and those who are poor are extremely poor.
领导人把钱都给了自己或者其他政客，并没有留多少钱给公民。因此这造成了巨大的贫富差距。有钱的越有钱，穷的越穷。
In some countries that is not the case, and poverty is due to the envrironment (they have really bad droughts at times, causing there to be no food), or outbreaks of violence and war. It’s true that some countries in Africa have it very bad.
有一些城市并不是这个原因，贫穷是由于环境造成的？（他们又时候会遭遇严重的干旱，因此没有粮食）或者由于战争爆发。的确，在非洲的某些地区，这些问题还是很严重的。
But in spite of that, we do have resources. The richest African man currently is Aliko Dangote, a Nigerian. He has a net worth of 12.7 billion dollars. That is far more than Donald Trump’s Net worth of 3.2 Billion dollars, not nearly as much as Bill Gate’s 90 billion, but still enough to top charts.
但是，除此之外，我们还是有资源的。非洲最有钱的人，现在是Aliko Dangote，一个尼日利亚人。他的财富大约是127亿美金，比特朗普的资产还要高出32亿美金，但是还没有盖茨的900亿美金多，不够已经足以登上排行榜。
The misconception that we are all stupid fazes me completely. Race doesn’t equate to IQ.
Fazes：狼狈／打扰／使折磨
错误的观念认为，我们都是傻子，比赛不等同于比智商。
Take Ufot Ekong for example, he solved a 30 year old math equation.
He also received the highest grades at a university in Japan in 50 years.
The only reasons not as many Africans are listed as smart, is because many don’t get the opportunity. When the slave trade began, African development was greatly stunted. That stunt still affects us today.
Stunt：阻碍发展
以Ufot Ekong为例子，他解决了一个长达30年的数学题。
他甚至在50年后接受了日本一家大学的最高荣誉称号。
对于非洲人来说，唯一的原因不是他们不够聪明，而是他们缺少机会。
当非洲奴隶贸易开始的时候，非洲的发展慢慢受到阻碍，并且这一阻碍现在仍然影响着我们。
