70.Who was the first President?
70.美國第一任總統是誰?
Answer: (George) Washington
答案:(喬治)華盛頓
Explanation: Starting a new job is always difficult because you're doing many things for the first time.
解釋:開始做一項新工作總是很困難,因為很多事情你都是第一次做。
But starting a job that is new and has never existed before is even more difficult because no one has ever done the things that you're being asked to do.
而開始做一項以前從未有過的新工作則更加困難,因為你要做的事情前無古人的。
No one can tell you how to do it because no one has that experience.
沒有人能告訴你如何去做,因為沒有人有過這種經歷。
This is similar to what happened to the first president of the United States, George Washington.
這就與美國第一任總統喬治·華盛頓所經歷的事情很相似。
George Washington was unanimously elected to be the first U.S. president, meaning that no one voted against him.
喬治·華盛頓被一致推選為美國第一任總統,也就是說沒有人投反對他的票。
Once this happened, everything that George Washington did became a precedent (or something that is used as an example for how people should behave in the future).
出現這種情況后,喬治·華盛頓所做的所有事情都成了先例(或后繼者該如何去做的榜樣)。
Many of the things that George Washington did have become standard (or unchanging) for all U.S. presidents.
喬治·華盛頓做過的許多事情都已成為所有美國總統的標準(或不變的事)。
For example, he chose to be called "Mr. President," and all U.S. presidents have been called that ever since.
例如,他要人們稱他為“總統先生”,自此,所有的美國總統都被這樣稱呼。
