比尔·克林顿
Bill Clinton was the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. He entered office at 46,being the third youngest president after Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. His wife is Hillary Rodham Clinton-the current United States Secretary of State. They have a daughter called Chelsea Victoria Clinton.
比尔·克林顿是美国第42任总统,任期自1993年起,至2001年止。他46岁当选总统,成为美国历史上仅次于西奥多·罗斯福和约翰·肯尼迪的年轻总统。妻子希拉里·罗德姆·克林顿为现任美国国务卿,两人育有一女切尔西·克林顿。
Bill Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III,in Hope, Arkansas. His father died in an accident three months before he was born. Bill's mother then remarried and moved to Hot Springs, his step father "a gambler and an alcoholic". In 1963,as a Boys Nation senator, he visited the White House and met President John F. Kennedy. In the same year, he listened to Martin Luther King's 1963 I Have a Dream speech. These two influential moments together contributed to his decision to become a public figure.

比尔·克林顿出生于美国阿肯色州霍普镇,原名威廉杰斐逊布莱思三世。在他出生前三个月,父亲就因车祸去世。后来随母亲改嫁到温泉城, 继父是一个"赌徒"和"酒鬼"。1963年,他以少年国家参议员的身份参观了白宫并受到约翰F·肯尼迪的接见。同年,他聆听了马丁·路德金著名的《我有一个梦想》的演讲。这两件大事促使他决心成为一名公众人物。

In 1964, Bill Clinton entered Georgetown University, and received a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS) degree four years later. At school he served as chairman of the students' union and had worked as an intern for Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright. Upon graduation he won a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University, then left for Law School of Yale University in 1970 and graduated 3 years later. At Yale, he got to know and fell in love with Hillary Diane Rodham, the whole process being so dramatic that it has been passed to be a much-told story. With his Doctor's degree from Yale Law School, he returned to Arkansas and became a professor at the University of Arkansas. In 1975, he married Hillary.

1964年,克林顿考人乔治敦大学。并在四年后收到了来自美国驻外事务处的理学士学位。在校期间,曾担任学生会主席并协助联邦参议员威廉·富布莱特工作。四年后,克林顿大学毕业,获国际政治学学士学位,并考取罗兹奖学金赴英国牛津大学学习。1970年,他考入美国耶鲁大学法学院,并于3年后毕业,获法学博士学位,同年到阿肯色州州立大学担任教授。在耶鲁读书期间,克林顿与希拉里戴安罗德姆戏剧性地相识并相恋,被传为一段佳话。1975年,两人结为夫妇。
