關于美國總統的腦筋急轉彎①
When electing Presidents of the United States, Americans haven't been partial to one type of man. Commanders in Chief of all kinds--tall and short, handsome and homely, well-educated and barely schooled, scoundrel and saint--were sent to Washington to serve。
美國人在選舉總統的時候，并不偏好某一類人。無論是高是矮，儀表堂堂還是相貌平平，有文化還是沒文化，無賴還是圣人，都會入主白宮，擔任三軍總司令(美國總統即為美國最高行政長官及三軍總司令)。
The following questions delve behind the formal portraits of our nation's Presidents to reveal their idiosyncrasies, oddities andironies。
下面的這些問題瞄準了歷屆美國總統外表下的習性、怪癖和叫人啼笑皆非的趣事
Q. WhichPresident's son was personally affected by three Presidential assassinations?
哪個總統的兒子親身感受了三次總統暗殺行動？
A. Abraham Lincoln's oldest son, Robert Todd, was at his father's side after the 16th President was assassinated at Ford's Theatre in 1865. Sixteen years later he was at the Washington raildepot where the 20th President, James Garfield, was shot and killedin 1881. In 1901 Lincoln was in Buffalo at the Pan-American Exposition, where 25th President William Mc Kinley was assassinated.The reafter Lincoln avoided functions where a President waspresent。
答案：亞伯拉罕·林肯的小兒子羅伯特·托德。1865年美國第16任總統林肯在福特劇院被暗殺的時候他就在父親身邊。16年之后的1881年，美國第20任總統詹姆斯·加菲爾德在華盛頓車站遇刺身亡的時候他也在場。而1901年美國第25任總統威廉·麥金萊在布法羅的泛美博覽會上遇刺，他依舊在場。此后林肯就避免在有總統在場的社會活動中出現。
Q. Which President was also a King?
哪位是總統也是國王？
A. Gerald Ford. Bornin 1913 as Leslie L. King, Jr., his mother orced and remarried.His stepfather informally adopted him, renaming him Gerald R.Ford。

生于1913年的他本名Leslie L. King,Jr.，因為目前離異再婚，他被繼父收養，改名為GeraldR. Ford。
