When Chelsea was 9 months old, I was defeated for reelection in the Reagan landslide.
切爾西9個(gè)月大的時(shí)候，我在連任選舉當(dāng)中被里根的壓倒性優(yōu)勢(shì)打敗了（1980年大選中，共和黨的里根席卷全國。在其影響之下，克林頓也失去了其州長職位）。
And I became overnight, I think, the youngest former governor in the history of the country.
一夜之間，我成了美國歷史上最年輕的前州長。
We only had two-year terms back then.
當(dāng)時(shí)我們的任期只有兩年。
Hillary was great. Immediately she said, OK, what are we going to do?
希拉里很棒。她馬上反應(yīng)過來說：好吧，我們接下來做點(diǎn)什么？
Here's what we're going to do, we're going to get a house, you're going to get a job, we're going to enjoy being Chelsea's parents.
我們要做下面的事情：我們需找個(gè)地方住，你需要找份工作，我們要好好享受做切爾西父母的時(shí)光。
And if you really want to run again, you've got to go out and talk to people and figure out why you lost, tell people you got the message and show them you've still got good ideas.
并且，如果你真的想再參見競(jìng)選，你要走出去跟人們談?wù)劊页瞿闶〉脑颍嬖V人們你明白了什么，展示出你已經(jīng)有了一些新的變化和好的想法。
I followed her advice. Within two days we had a house, I soon had a job.
我聽取了她的建議。兩天之后我們就找到了房子。很快我找到了工作。
We had two fabulous years with Chelsea.
我們和切爾西一起度過了非常幸福的兩年時(shí)光。
And in 1982, I became the first governor in the history of our state to be elected, defeated and elected again.
1982年，我成為了我州歷史上第一位被選上、被擊敗，之后又被選上的州長。
I think my experience is it's a pretty good thing to follow her advice.
我想，我經(jīng)驗(yàn)是：聽她的建議是非常好的。
The rest of the decade sort of flew by as our lives settled into a rhythm of family and work and friends.
我們的生活在家庭、工作、朋友節(jié)奏中平靜的度過，10年轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝。
In 1983, Hillary chaired a committee to recommend new education standards for us as a part of and in response to a court order to equalize school funding and a report by a national expert that said our woefully underfunded schools were the worst in America.
1983年，希拉里領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的委員會(huì)給我們推薦了一個(gè)新的教育標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來執(zhí)行法院平等教育經(jīng)費(fèi)劃撥的裁定，因?yàn)橐晃挥腥珖绊懥Φ膶＜野l(fā)報(bào)告說我們州的學(xué)校資助嚴(yán)重匱乏，是美國最糟糕的。
Typical Hillary, she held listening tours in all 75 counties with our committee.
希拉里帶著委員會(huì)開始了全州75個(gè)縣的聽證之旅，這就是典型的希拉里。
She came up with really ambitious recommendations.
她提出了雄心勃勃的建議。
For example, that we be the first state in America to require elementary counselors in every school because so many kids were having trouble at home and they needed it.
比如，我們要成為美國第一個(gè)每所小學(xué)都有輔導(dǎo)員的州，因?yàn)楹芏嗪⒆蛹依锒加欣щy，他們需要這個(gè)幫助。
So I called the legislature into session hoping to pass the standards, pass a pay raise for teachers and raise the sales tax to pay for it all.
所以我呼吁立法機(jī)構(gòu)開會(huì)，希望能夠通過新標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，為教師們漲工資，并通過提高營業(yè)稅來負(fù)擔(dān)所有支出。
I knew it would be hard to pass, but it got easier after Hillary testified before the education committee and the chairman, a plainspoken farmer, said looks to me like we elected the wrong Clinton.
我知道要通過立法很難，但希拉里在教育委員會(huì)面前作證之后，事情就容易了一些。委員會(huì)的主席——一位直言不諱的農(nóng)民，他說，看來我們選的這位克林頓不對(duì)啊。（注：就是說不應(yīng)該選比爾·克林頓，而該選希拉里·克林頓）
