 About Washington 關(guān)于華盛頓
     George Washington was the dominant military and political leader of the new United States of America from 1775 to 1799. He led the American victory over Britain in the American Revolutionary War as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in 1775-1783, and he presided over the writing of the Constitution in 1787.
     As the unanimous choice to serve as the first President of the United States, he developed the forms and rituals of government that have been used ever since, such as using a cabinet system and delivering an inaugural address. As President, he built a strong, well-financed national government that stayed neutral in the wars raging in Europe, suppressed rebellion and won acceptance among Americans of all types, but also saw the advent of contentious political parties. Washington was universally regarded as the "Father of his country".
     Washington presided over the Constitutional Convention that drafted the United States Constitution in 1787 because of his dissatisfaction with the weaknesses of Articles of Confederation that had time and again impeded the war effort. Washington became the first President of the United States in 1789. He attempted to bring rival factions together to unify the nation. He supported Alexander Hamilton's programs to pay off all state and national debt, implement an effective tax system, and create a national bank, despite opposition from Thomas Jefferson. Washington proclaimed the US neutral in the wars raging in Europe after 1793. He avoided war with Britain and guaranteed a decade of peace and profitable trade by securing the Jay Treaty in 1795, despite intense opposition from the Jeffersonians. Although never officially joining the Federalist Party, he supported its programs. Washington's "Farewell Address" was an influential primer on republican virtue and a stern warning against partisanship, sectionalism, and involvement in foreign wars.
     美國有一位華盛頓這樣德才兼?zhèn)涞娜俗鳛榈谝蝗慰偨y(tǒng)是幸運(yùn)的。翻開南美和非洲各國的歷史,我們可以看到即使是一個(gè)以民主憲法為伊始的新國家,墮落成為軍事專制國家也是易如反掌。華盛頓是一位堅(jiān)定的領(lǐng)袖,他保持了國家的統(tǒng)一,但是卻無永遠(yuǎn)把持政權(quán)的野心,既不想做國王,又不想當(dāng)獨(dú)裁者。他開創(chuàng)了主動(dòng)讓權(quán)的先例──一個(gè)至今美國仍然奉行的先例。
     與當(dāng)時(shí)的其他美國領(lǐng)袖如托馬斯·杰弗遜、詹姆斯·麥迪遜、亞歷山大·漢密爾頓等相比,喬治·華盛頓缺乏創(chuàng)新的精神和深刻的思想。但是他比所有這些雄才大略的人物都重要得多,無論在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)還是和平期間,他在行政領(lǐng)導(dǎo)方面都起著至關(guān)重要的作用,沒有他,任何政治運(yùn)動(dòng)都不會(huì)達(dá)到目的。對(duì)美國的形成,麥迪遜的貢獻(xiàn)是重大的,而華盛頓的貢獻(xiàn)幾乎可以說是不可缺少的。
