Biography of Lincoln
林肯外傳
Lincoln was one of the greatest statesmen in the USA. He was a shrewd and ambitious man. His integrity, intellect and courtesy gained him the esteem of his people. His career reflected the common American's dream or belief. Due to his remarkable competence and merits, Lincoln was nominated for the Presidency and was elected the president in 1860.
林肯是美國歷史上最偉大的政治家之一。他是一個精明而有雄心的人。他的正直、才智和謙恭贏得了人們的尊敬。他的經歷反映了普通美國人的信念和夢想。由于他非凡的才能和功績，林肯被提名為總統候選人，并于1860年當選為總統。
In Lincoln's time, even though the south and the north of America were colonies without autonomy, and they had different splitting regimes. The property of the south was based on the tragic fate of black slaves: Africans and their descendants(offspring) were sold as commodities. The moment when those slaves were tugged into the foul cabin, they were dropped into a hopeless plight. Deducting the dead and the insane, only half of the robust(muscular) slaves were alive. When slave ships traversed the Atlantics, sharks followed them for preying on slaves' corpses.
在林肯那個年代，雖然美國南北部同為沒有自治權的殖民地，它們卻有著不同的政治制度。南方的財富是建立在黑奴的悲慘命運之上的:非洲人和他們的后裔像商品一樣被販賣。當奴隸被拖進發臭的船艙,他們便陷人了絕望的境地。除了死的和瘋的，僅有一半強壯的奴隸能活下來。當販奴船橫渡大西洋時，鯊魚尾隨其后，為的是捕獲奴隸的尸體。
Most of the northerners despised and opposed slavery. In 1952, the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, which graphically depicted the brutal slavery and tragic destiny of slaves, was sold by millions. The calling for overturning slavery swelled to a deafening chorus.
大部分北方人鄙視并反對蓄奴制。1952年,《湯姆叔叔的小屋》出版后賣出上百萬冊，這本書生動描述了殘忍的奴隸制度和奴隸們悲慘的命運。于是,要求廢除奴隸制度的呼聲響徹云霄。
Lincoln didn't take any rash action to abolish or crash slavery. The Civil War of America broke out in 1861. At first, though possessing ample ammunition, artillery (cannon) and food supply, the alliance of the north still couldn't repel the enemy's siege. With other underlying superiority, the north won the final victory and the south power ebbed.
在廢除蓄奴制方面,林肯沒有采取任何魯莽的行為。1861年美國內戰爆發。最初，雖然擁有足夠的彈藥、大炮和糧食供給,北方軍隊還是難以擊退敵人的圍攻。后來由于其他潛在的優勢，北方最終取得了勝利，南方實力開始衰退。
After pondering long enough, Lincoln proclaimed the notable Emancipation Proclamation in 1862. He also mobilized the slaves who had busted their yoke to join the federal troop. Most of the enthusiastic people upheld Lincoln's political slogan. In 1864, his singular feat made him was voted president for a second term by a unanimous ballot (poll) after the expiration.
經過深思熟慮之后，1862年林肯宣布了著名的《解放黑奴宣言》。他還動員那些掙脫束縛的奴隸加人聯邦軍隊。滿腔熱情的人們支持林肯的政治口號。1864年在其任職期滿后,他再度以巨大成就而全票當選為總統。
After the President's inauguration, Lincoln feasted a galaxy of generals in front of the White House. But in a few days, he was assassinated in a theater. The irritated people captured the assassin in an obscure village just several days later.
舉行總統就職典禮后，林肯在白宮前宴請了立功的將軍。但在幾天后，林肯在一個劇院里遇刺身亡。僅僅數日后，憤怒的人們就在一個偏遠的村莊里抓捕了兇手。
