King Bhumibol Adulyadej was the much loved and respected king of Thailand. He was the longest-serving monarch in Thai history. He was born in the United States in 1927 and was educated in Switzerland. He was an excellent musician, artist, and sailor. His popularity helped him maintain peace in his country many times. Many Thais see him as semi-divine.
普密蓬·阿杜德——拉瑪九世皇是很受泰國人愛戴和尊敬的皇帝，他是泰國歷史上在位時間最長的君王。阿杜德于1927年出生在美國，在瑞士接受教育。他是出色的音樂家、藝術家和海員。他的聲望多次幫他維持國內和平，許多泰國人視他為半神。
Bhumibol came to Thailand for the first time in 1928. He completed his elementary education in Bangkok and in 1933 moved to Switzerland. He graduated from the University of Lausanne. His elder brother was crowned King of Thailand in 1935 and Bhumibol became heir to the throne. He became King Rama IX following the death of his brother in 1946.
1928年，阿杜德第一次回到了泰國。他在曼谷完成了基礎教育后，于1933年搬到了瑞士。他畢業于瑞士洛桑大學。1935年，他的哥哥繼位，成為泰皇，阿杜德成為王位繼承人。1946年，阿杜德在他哥哥死后繼位，成為拉瑪九世皇。
King Bhumibol had very little power in the early years and was largely a symbol. It was many decades into his reign before he decided to intervene in Thai politics. In 1992, there was a coup attempt in Bangkok. Many protesting university students were killed in the streets. Bhumibol appeared with the coup leader on Thai television. This led to elections, which brought democracy to Thailand.
阿杜德早年幾乎沒有權力，大多數時候就是一個王室的象征。他繼位幾十年后才決定參與政事。1992年，曼谷發生軍事政變，許多游行的大學生在街頭被殺。阿杜德與軍方領導人一同出現在電視上。此次政變導致選舉的發生，使泰國進入民主時代。
King Bhumibol repeated his rare television appearance in April 2006 during another political crisis. The government asked him to choose a prime minister. He said: "Asking for a royally-appointed prime minister is undemocratic. It is, pardon me, a mess. It is irrational." He solved a similar crisis in 2008. King Bhumibol passed away on the 13th of October, 2016. He was 88 years old.
2006年4月，阿杜德在另一次政治危機中罕見地出現在電視上，政府要求它選出一位總理。阿杜德說：“讓王室任命總理的要求是不民主的，會導致國家混亂，這是不明智的。”2008年，他解決了一次類似的危機。2016年10月13日，普密蓬·阿杜德——拉瑪九世皇逝世，享年88歲。
