79.Who was President during World War I?
79.第一次世界大戰期間誰擔任總統?
Answer: (Woodrow) Wilson
答案:(伍德羅)威爾遜
Explanation: When Woodrow Wilson became the 28th president of the United States in 1912,
解釋:當伍德羅·威爾遜于1912年成為美國第28任總統時,
he had no idea (or absolutely did not know) that he would have to lead the country through the first global war,
他根本就不知道(或完全不知道)他必須領導該國經歷第一個全球的戰爭,
or a war that affected (or changed or influenced) the whole world.
或者是一場波及(或改變或影響了)整個世界的戰爭。
World War I began in 1914 and it affected the rest of his presidency (or the time when he was president).
第一次世界大戰始于1914年,它影響了他的總統剩余任期(或他擔任總統的時候)。
At first, President Wilson wanted the United States to be as neutral as possible, not fighting on either side of the war.
起初,威爾遜總統希望美國盡可能地保持中立,不跟任何一方交戰。
However, the Germans kept attacking (or fighting) with submarines, which are large boats that travel under the water, where they can't be seen.
然而,德國人不斷地用潛艇攻擊(或戰斗),也就是在看不見的水下潛航的大型船只。
This made President Wilson decide to enter the war.
這就促使威爾遜總統決定參戰。
He started the United States' first real draft in 1917.
1917年,他發動了美國首次實際有效的征兵。
The draft made young American men fight in the army whether they wanted to or not.
這一征兵讓年輕的美國人參軍打仗,無論他們是否愿意。
