Lobengula died of sickness during the war, and his kingdom disintegrated.

洛本古拉在战争中病逝，他的王国也随之解体。

Lobengula sent letters of protestation  officially suspending the terms of the agreement, pending a more thorough investigation of its  meaning.

洛本古拉发出抗议信， 正式暂停协议条款，等待对其含义进行更彻底的调查。

Though  Lobengula's troops were highly trained warriors, the British Maxim machine gun had forever  changed the calculus of colonial warfare.

尽管洛本古拉的部队都是训练有素的战士，但英国马克沁机枪却永远改变了殖民战争的格局。

Finally, in 1888, Lobengula signed a treaty with the British, agreeing to conduct diplomatic relations only with the Cape Colony.

最后，1888年， 洛本古拉与英国签署条约，同意仅与开普殖民地建立外交关系。

These letters were delivered to Britain personally by two of Lobengula's headmen – but  the British government's reply was only one of vague reassurance.

这些信件是由洛本古拉的两名首领亲自转交给英国的，但英国政府的答复只是一种含糊的保证。

In 1870, King Lobengula had ascended to the throne, and  he had smartly exploited tensions between the Transvaal and the British Cape Colony  to secure himself.

1870 年， 洛本古拉国王即位，他巧妙地利用德兰士瓦和英国开普殖民地之间的紧张关系来保护自己。

Aware that Boer and British prospectors  and land-seekers were already flocking to Lobengula's capital at Bulawayo, Rhodes sent his  right-hand man Charles Rudd in person to negotiate with the King.

意识到布尔人和英国探矿者和土地寻求者已经涌向洛本古拉位于布拉瓦约的首都，罗德斯派他的得力助手查尔斯·路德亲自与国王谈判。

This was the opportunity  Rhodes had been waiting for: if he could secure exclusive mining rights from Lobengula, he  could appeal to the British Colonial Office for a Royal Charter.

这就是罗兹一直在等待的机会：如果他能够从洛本古拉获得独家采矿权，他就可以向英国殖民部请求皇家特许状。

Jameson's medical work  brought him into contact with a wide variety of the region's political figures, and he  counted both Paul Kruger, the President of the Transvaal Republic and King Lobengula of the  Ndebele people, among his patients.

詹姆森的医疗工作使他接触到了该地区各种各样的政治人物，他的病人中包括德兰士瓦共和国总统保罗·克鲁格和恩德贝勒人的洛本古拉国王。
