富蘭克林·德拉諾·羅斯福，人們通常稱呼他名字的縮寫(xiě)—“FDR”，他是美國(guó)第32任總統(tǒng)。他是唯一一名任期超過(guò)兩屆的總統(tǒng)，時(shí)間為1933-1945。1882年，羅斯福出生于紐約州一個(gè)古老的家族。他的成長(zhǎng)環(huán)境非常優(yōu)越，他曾就讀于哈佛大學(xué)和哥倫比亞大學(xué)法學(xué)院。在1905年的圣帕特里克節(jié)上，羅斯福與埃莉諾·羅斯福完婚。

Following the example of his cousin, Rooseveltentered public service through politics. He won election tothe New York Senate in 1910.President Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and he was the Democraticnominee for Vice President in 1920, at the tender age of 34. The Democrats lost theelection.In 1921, he was diagnosed as having polio and was paralyzed from the waist down.

跟隨著他堂兄的腳步，羅斯福通過(guò)政治進(jìn)入了公共服務(wù)事業(yè)當(dāng)中。1910年，他成功當(dāng)選紐約州參議院議員。威爾遜總統(tǒng)任命他為海軍部長(zhǎng)助理，1920年，他成為了民主黨副總統(tǒng)候選人，當(dāng)時(shí)他只有34歲。但民主黨在這次競(jìng)選中失敗了。1921年，他被查出患有脊髓灰質(zhì)炎，腰部以下癱瘓。

Roosevelt was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms. By March therewere 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days,"he proposed a sweeping program called the “New Deal” to bring recovery to business andagriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes.

1932年11月，他成功當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)，并迎來(lái)了他第一屆任期。截止到三月份，全國(guó)共有1200萬(wàn)失業(yè)者，所有的銀行幾乎全部關(guān)門(mén)。在他任期的“百天”里，他提出了一種叫做“行政”的改革方案，新政的目的是為了使商業(yè)和農(nóng)業(yè)得以恢復(fù)，增加就業(yè)，并拯救那些處在失去家園邊緣的民眾。

By 1935 the nation’s economy was recovering and in 1936 FDR was re-elected by a hugemargin. He tried to keep the U.S. out of WWII, but when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor onDecember 7, 1941, America joined the war. As WWII drew to a close, Roosevelt's healthdeteriorated, and on April 12, 1945, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage. He is often ranked asone of the top three U.S. Presidents.

截止到1935年，全國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)得到復(fù)蘇，1936年，羅斯福以壓倒性的優(yōu)勢(shì)再次連任。他試圖讓美國(guó)遠(yuǎn)離二戰(zhàn)的困擾，1941年12月7日，當(dāng)日本偷襲珍珠港時(shí)，美國(guó)被迫宣戰(zhàn)。就在二戰(zhàn)即將結(jié)束時(shí)，羅斯福的健康狀況每況愈下，19456年4月12日，他因腦出血去世。他是美國(guó)歷史上最偉大的三位總統(tǒng)之一，同華盛頓、林肯齊名。
