Ronald Wilson Reagan was the 40th President of the United States, serving between 1981 and 1989. He was born in 1911 in Illinois. He worked his way through school and studied economics and sociology. After graduating, he became a radio sports announcer. A screen test in 1937 won him a contract in Hollywood. Over the next two decades he appeared in 53 films. He was also president of the Screen Actors Guild.
羅納德·威爾遜·里根是美國第40任總統(tǒng)，任期為1981-1989年。1911年，里根出生于伊利諾伊州。他努力刻苦，在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)濟學(xué)和社會學(xué)。畢業(yè)之后，他成為了一名體育廣播播音員。1973年，在一次試鏡中，他獲得了去好萊塢發(fā)展的機會。在過去的二十年中，他在53部電影中出演過角色。里根曾經(jīng)還是美國演員工會主席。
In 1966, Reagan was elected Governor of California by a margin of a million votes; he was re-elected in 1970. He campaigned with the message of sending "the welfare bums back to work" and spoke out against the idea of the welfare state. He was also in favor of less government regulation and lower taxes. He lost the 1976 election to become Republican presidential nominee to President Gerald Ford.
1966年，里根以超過100萬選票的優(yōu)勢成功當(dāng)選加利福尼亞州州長。1970年，成功連任。他競選的標(biāo)語是“民主黨員和勞保無賴又回來了”并公開反對福利制度。他不贊同較多的政府管理制度，支持減少稅務(wù)。1976年，他沒有成功當(dāng)選共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人，他輸給了杰拉爾德·福特總統(tǒng)。
Ronald Reagan won the Republican Presidential nomination in 1980. Just 69 days later he was shot by a would-be assassin, but quickly recovered and returned to duty. He passed legislation to stimulate economic growth, curb inflation, increase employment, and strengthen national defense. A renewal of national self-confidence by 1984 helped Reagan and Vice President George H. Bush win a second term.
1980年，里根成為了共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人。就在69天后，他遭到了刺客的射殺，但他迅速恢復(fù)過來，并重新投入到工作之中。他通過了刺激經(jīng)濟增長、抑制膨脹、增加就業(yè)、加強國防的法律文件。1984年，國家重新恢復(fù)了信心，這幫助了里根，副總統(tǒng)喬治·H·布什也獲得了連任。
Reagan’s conservative economic policy was known as ‘Reaganomics’. At the end of his administration, America was enjoying its longest recorded period of peacetime prosperity without recession or depression. In foreign policy, Reagan sought to achieve "peace through strength" with the Soviet Union and declared war against international terrorism. He died in 2004 aged 93.
人們都把里根的保守經(jīng)濟政策叫做“里根經(jīng)濟學(xué)”。在他的任期即將要結(jié)束時，美國迎來了有史以來時間最長的和平發(fā)展，沒有受到經(jīng)濟衰退和蕭條的影響。在外交政策方面，里根與蘇聯(lián)達(dá)成了以“實力求和平”的措施，并打擊國際恐怖主義。2004年去世，享年93歲。
