Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was the 26th President of America. He served for two terms between 1901 and 1909. He was born in 1858 in New York City. He was mostly home schooled because of ill health as a child. He graduated from Harvard (where he was a boxing champion) and in 1880 entered law school. He dropped out a year later to enter politics. He is often ranked as the greatest ever U.S. President.
西奧多·羅斯福是美國(guó)第26任總統(tǒng)，人稱(chēng)“泰迪”。他的任期為1901-1909，共兩屆。1858年，他出生于紐約市。小時(shí)候體弱多病，大部分時(shí)間在家中完成學(xué)業(yè)。羅斯福畢業(yè)于哈佛大學(xué)（當(dāng)時(shí)他是學(xué)校的拳擊冠軍），1880年，進(jìn)入法律學(xué)校。一年之后輟學(xué)，并進(jìn)入政壇。人們經(jīng)常認(rèn)為他是美國(guó)最偉大的總統(tǒng)。
During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel of the Rough Rider Regiment, which he led on a charge at the battle of San Juan. His war-hero status prompted New York Republicans to nominate himas Governor to draw attention away from the state’s scandals. Roosevelt won the election and served with distinction for two years.
美西戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間，羅斯福擔(dān)任第一志愿騎兵旅的中校，并在圣胡安戰(zhàn)役中沖鋒陷陣。戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)英雄的稱(chēng)號(hào)使得紐約的共和黨人提名羅斯福為紐約市長(zhǎng)，并以此來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)移美國(guó)丑聞的注意力。羅斯福獲得了選舉的勝利，并以優(yōu)異的表現(xiàn)任職兩年。
Roosevelt became Vice President in March 1901. Six months later, with the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the youngest President in the nation's history. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.
1901年3月，羅斯福成為了美國(guó)副總統(tǒng)。6個(gè)月之后，隨著麥金萊總統(tǒng)的遇刺，不到43歲的羅斯福成為了美國(guó)歷史上最年輕的總統(tǒng)。他的總統(tǒng)生涯充滿了驚喜和力量，他激勵(lì)美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)和民眾實(shí)施強(qiáng)有力的改革政策，以及強(qiáng)勢(shì)的外交政策。
As President, Roosevelt believed that the Government should play a greater role in the economy. He steeredthe U.S. more actively into world politics. He liked to quote a favorite proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far." He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War. Someof his biggest achievements were in conserving America’s national parks. He died in 1919 aged 60.
作為總統(tǒng)，羅斯福認(rèn)為政府應(yīng)該在經(jīng)濟(jì)中扮演重要角色。他讓美國(guó)在世界政治中變得更加活躍。他喜歡醫(yī)用一句格言：“言語(yǔ)溫和，手持大棒”。他也因?yàn)樵谌斩響?zhàn)爭(zhēng)中的調(diào)停作用而獲得了諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)。他的許多偉大成就就是保護(hù)了美國(guó)的許多國(guó)家公園。1919年，羅斯福去世，享年60歲。
