英语翻译
Of all figures from American’s past,Abraham Lincoln is dearest to the hearts of the American people.In fact,the admiration they have for him borders on worship.Writers note that the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,D.C.is not unlike the temples that ancient Greeks built in honor of their gods,and that annual ceremonies of celebrating Lincoln’s birthday in schools and public places have sometimes had characteristics of religious services.Certainly Lincoln is America’s ideal of a great leader.He had many of the qualities of leadership that Americans admire.First of all,Lincoln’s career fits a popular American belief that every child can dream of becoming President.American admire the self-made person – the one who,with neither money nor family influence,fights his or her way to the top.Lincoln was born of poor parents.His mother died when he was young.He had little opportunity for schooling.His early study was done alone at night by the light of a fireplace.He did hard manual labor through the day – splitting rail for fences,taking care of livestock,working on a river boat or in a store.He was a good speaker and student of political philosophy.His ability made a name for him and eventually he became President of Unite States.
Lincoln is also admired because of his leadership during the difficult period of the Civil War.He dared to do what he thought was right at a time when his beliefs were unpopular with many people.He,in a sense,represents the spirit of union among the states.Before the Civil War,the economy of the South depended on an agriculture system which made use of slave labor.When reformers in the northern states put pressure on the Congress not to permit slavery in western territories that later became states,some of the Southern states wanted to secede,or withdraw,from the United States.They argued that the question of slavery was a matter for the individual states to decide rather than the federal government,and they did not want to accept its decision.The national government said that no state had the right to secede,and the Civil War was the result.If the South had won the war,what is now the United States might well have been divided into several countries.Lincoln worked hard to preserve the union,and the northern states were victorious.
Furthermore,Lincoln had many personal qualities that made him dear to the heart of his countrymen.He had infinite patience and tolerance for those who disagreed with him.As President,he appointed men to high government positions whom he considered most capable,even though some of them openly scorned him.He was generous to his opponents.There are many stories about his thoughtful treatment of South leaders.When the war was over,he showed the South no hatred.Since generosity toward a defeated opponent is admired by Americans,Lincoln fitted the national ideal of what is right.
