Franklin Roosevelt
富蘭克林·羅斯福
Franklin Roosevelt was one of the most important leaders of twentieth century America and perhaps in the whole span of American history. He significantly changed the role of the federal government in the American system,his ideas and prejudices helped to determine the shape of the post-World War II world, and he changed the nature and constituency of the Democratic Party. In addition, his administration did much to give American labor and agriculture the form they have today.
富蘭克林·羅斯福是美國二十世紀，或許是整個美國歷史上最重要的領導人之一.他極大地改變了聯邦政府在美國制度中的作用，他的思想和偏見幫助確立了第二次世界大戰后世界的格局，而且他改變了民主黨的性質和選民。另外，他的政府為賦予美國勞工和美國農業今天的結構形式做了大量的工作。
Roosevelt's ideas for helping the country were labeled "the New Deal".Though he was not personally responsible for all the programs tried and laws passed in his years as president, he was the man in charge. Supporters and critics alike measured succeeding presidents and other leaders against him.
羅斯福造福國家的主張被稱作“新政”。盡管他沒有親自負責他執政時期所實行的計劃以及所頒布的法律，但這些工作都是在他主持下進行的。支持者和批評者以同樣的方式，以他為例來對比這些計劃和法律、評估以后繼任的總統和其他領導人。
For those admired Roosevelt, a later leader was as good as, or not as good as their hero. Those who disliked, even hated F.D.R, complained that a later president was as bad as, or worse than Roosevelt. Such strong feeling was common during the New Deal years
對于那些崇拜羅斯福的人來說，繼任領導人與羅斯福同樣好，或不如他好。那些不喜歡，甚至恨羅斯福的人抱怨說繼任的總統像羅斯福一樣壞甚至比羅斯福還壞。這種強烈感情在新政時期是非常普遍的。
Whether people liked or disliked F.D.R. they could not overlook the impact he had had and continues to have. Almost every president since Roosevelt' s time has supported or opposed the Roosevelt legacy but could not and cannot ignore it. If the significance of a leader is measured by the lasting impact on succeeding leaders and generations, then Franklin Roosevelt isone of the most important people of the twentieth century.
不管人們喜歡還是不喜歡羅斯福，他們都不能忽視他已經和繼續帶來的影響。羅斯福以后的幾乎每一位總統都支持過或反對過羅斯福的“新政”，但都未能而且也不能忽略它。如果一位領導人的意義是由他對其繼任者和后代的持續不斷的影響來判斷的話，那么富蘭克林·羅斯福就是二十世紀最重要的人物之一了。
