1.On the morning of April 15,1865,Abraham Lincoln lay dying in a hall bedroom of a cheap lodging house directly across the street from Ford's Theater,where John Wilkes Booth had shot him. Lincoln's long body lay stretched diagonally across a sagging bed that was too short for him. A cheap reproduction of Rosa Bonheur's famous painting The Horse Fair hung above the bed,and a dismal gas jet flickered yellow light.
1、1865年4月15日清晨,亚伯拉罕.林肯奄奄一息地躺在福特戏院对面一家廉价客栈的卧房里。约翰。威尔克斯。布斯枪杀了他。那张下陷的床对身材修长的林肯而言实在太短了。床的上方,挂着一件罗莎。邦赫的名画《马市》的廉价仿制品,一盏阴暗的煤气灯发出惨淡的黄晕。
2.As Lincoln lay dying,Secretary of War Stanton said,"There lies the most perfect ruler of men that the world has ever seen."
2、当林肯奄奄一息地躺着时,陆军部长斯坦顿说:“躺在这里的,是世界上有史以来最完美的元首。”
3.What was the secret of Lincoln's success in dealing with people? I studied the life of Abraham Lincoln for ten years and devoted all of three years to writing and rewriting a book entitled Lincoln the Unknown. I believe I have made as detailed and exhaustive a study of Lincoln's personality and home life as it is possible for any being to make. I made a special study of Lincoln's method of dealing with people. Did he indulge in criticism? Oh,yes. As a young man in the Pigeon Creek Valley of Indiana,he not only criticized but he wrote letters and poems ridiculing people and dropped these letters on the country roads where they were sure to be found. One of these letters aroused resentments that burned for a lifetime.
3、林肯待人方面成功的秘诀是什么?我花了十年的时间研究亚伯拉罕。林肯的一生,并投入了整整三年的时间写作和润色一本叫做《林肯不为人知的一面》的书。我相信我已经尽了人类一切的可能,对林肯的个性和他的家庭生活,做了详尽和透彻的研究。关于林肯待人的方法我还做了特别的研究。林肯热衷于批评吗?是的,年轻时,他住在印第安纳州的鸽溪谷;他不但批评他人,还写信作诗揶揄别人,他把写好的信扔到乡间街道上故意让人看到,其中有一封信所引起的反感,延续了一辈子。
4.Even after Lincoln had become a practicing lawyer in Springfield,Illinois,he attacked his opponents openly in letters published in the newspapers. But he did this just once too often.
4、林肯在伊利诺斯州的春田镇,挂牌做了律师后,甚至投书给报社,公开攻击他的对手,但是像这样的事他只做了一次。
5.In the autumn of 1842 he ridiculed a vain,pugnacious politician by the name of James Shields. Lincoln damned him through an anonymous letter published in Springfield Journal. The town roared with laughter. Shields,sensitive and proud,boiled with indignation. He found out who wrote the letter,leaped on his horse,started after Lincoln,and challenged him to fight a duel. Lincoln didn't want to fight. He was opposed to dueling,but he couldn't get out of it and save his honor. He was given the choice of weapons. Since he had very long arms,he chose cavalry broadswords and took lessons in sword fighting from a West Point graduate; and,on the appointed day,he and Shields met on a sandbar in the Mississippi River,prepared to fight to the death; but,at the last minute,their seconds interrupted and stopped the duel.
5、1842年秋季,林肯讥笑一个自大好斗的政客,这人叫詹姆斯。西尔滋。林肯在春田的报上,刊登出一封匿名的信讽刺他,令镇上的人都捧腹大笑起来。西尔滋是个敏感和骄傲的人,怒火中烧。他查出写这封信的人是谁,跳上了马,去找林肯,要和他作一次决斗。林肯不想打架,反对决斗,可是为了自己的面子又不能退出。对方给他选择武器的只有。林肯手臂特别长,就选了骑兵用的大砍刀,他向一位西点军校毕业生学习刀术。到了指定的日期,他和西尔滋在密西西比河的河滩上碰头,准备决一死战,就在最后一刻,他们双方的助阵者介入并阻止了决斗。
