Now, her mother was different. She was more liberal than the boys.

她的母亲就不一样了,她比家里的男人们更宽容。
And she had a childhood that made mine look like a piece of cake.
而且,和她的童年相比,我的童年简直就是小巫见大巫了。
She was easy to underestimate with her soft manner and she reminded me all over again of the truth of that old saying you should never judge a book by its covers.
她举止温柔,所以很容易让人低估她,她让我再次想起那句充满真理的老话:别以貌取人。
Knowing her was one of the greatest gifts Hillary ever gave me.
希拉里给我的许多礼物里,认识她是最好的之一。
I...I learned that Hillary got her introduction to social justice through her Methodist youth minister, Don Jones.
我了解到,希拉里的社会公正思想,得益于卫理公会青年牧师东·琼斯(Don Jones)。

He took her downtown to Chicago to hear Dr. Martin Luther King speak and he remained her friend for the rest of his life.

琼斯把她带到芝加哥市中心,让她聆听马丁·路德·金的演讲,而在他一生都是她的好友。
This will be the only campaign of hers he ever missed.
这次竞选将会成为琼斯唯一错过的一次她的“竞选”。
When she got to college, her support for civil rights, her opposition to the Vietnam War compelled her to change party, to become a Democrat.
上了大学后,她对民权的支持、对越南战争的反对迫使她改变了自己的党派,成为了一名民主党人。
And then between college and law school on a total lark she went alone to Alaska and spent some time sliming fish.
大学毕业后,在去耶鲁法学院之前,她抱着玩儿的心态独自前往阿拉斯加,花了点时间在那儿做鱼罐头。(希拉里在鱼罐头场打工,被炒掉之后,她起诉工厂工作环境不利于健康,导致工厂关闭)。
More to the point, by the time I met her she had already been involved in the law school's legal services project and she had been influenced by Marian Wright Edelman.
更重要的是,我遇见她时,她已经加入了法学院的法律服务项目,深受艾德曼影响(Marian Wright Edelman,儿童权益保护家。)
She took a summer internship interviewing workers in migrant camps for Senator Walter Mondale's subcommittee.
她还花了一个暑假的时间,为参议员沃尔特·蒙代尔的附属委员会采访移民营里的工人。
She had also begun working in the Yale New Haven Hospital to develop procedures to handle suspected child abuse cases.
她也开始在耶鲁纽黑文医院工作,创建了一套处理疑似儿童虐待案的法律流程。
She got so involved in children's issues that she actually took an extra year in law school working at the child study center to learn what more could be done to improve the lives and the futures of poor children.
她是如此关注儿童问题,以至于她在法学院多花了一年时间,为儿童研究中心工作,研究怎样才能进一步改善贫穷儿童的生存环境和未来。
So she was already determined to figure out how to make things better.
