 Ernesto "Che" Guevara lived between 1928 and 1967. He was born in Argentina and became a doctor. However, his political opinions led him to become one of history’s best-known freedom fighters. His role in the Cuban revolution made him, and the image of his face, famous forever. He was captured and executed in Bolivia after starting an unsuccessful revolution.

埃内斯托·切·格瓦拉出生于1928年，死于1967年。他出生在阿根廷，他是一名医生。但是，他的政治理念让他成为了历史上最为知名的自由战士之一。他在古巴革命中所担当的角色，以及他的那张脸将永垂不朽。改革历经挫折以后，他遭到逮捕，并在玻利维亚遭到处决。

As a young medical student, Guevara went on a motorbike tour of Latin America. The extreme poverty he witnessed transformed him. He became a fierce opponent of capitalism¹, which he said created great inequality. He went to Guatemala and helped draw up many social reforms, until the Guatemalan government was overthrown³. Following this, Guevara decided⁴ to fight against social injustice⁵ everywhere.

作为一名年轻的医科学生，格瓦拉骑着摩托车环游拉丁美洲。旅途中人民的极贫困状态改变了他。他成为了反抗资本主义的强有力的反对者，他说资本主义带来了极大的不公平。他前往了瓜地马拉，在瓜地马拉政府被推翻之前，他起草了诸多社会改革。之后，格瓦拉决定在全世界反抗社会不公。

He went to Mexico, where he met another revolutionary Fidel Castro. He joined with Castro and became a military leader in a guerilla force that invaded Cuba. Guevara’s tactics played a key role in the successful overthrow² of the US-backed Cuban dictator Batista. Guevara became president of Cuba’s national bank. He also wrote a comprehensive manual on guerilla warfare⁶, which is still studied today.

他前往了墨西哥，在那他遇见了另一名改革者菲德尔·卡斯特罗。他与卡斯特罗联手，并成为了攻打古巴的游击领导人。格瓦拉的战术在成功推翻美国支持的古巴独裁者巴蒂斯塔时起到了关键作用。格瓦拉成为了古巴国家银行主席。他还写下了游击战手册，如今，人们还一直在研究这本书。

Che Guevara remains⁷ one of the icons⁸ of the 20th Century. An Alberto Korda photograph of him entitled ‘Guerilla Hero’ was named as "the most famous photograph in the world". Even though he hated commercialism, his image has appeared on every kind of product imaginable. Today, his profile is still largely associated with revolution and fighting for the rights of the poor.
