Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was the 26th President of America. He served for two terms between 1901 and 1909. He was born in 1858 in New York City. He was mostly home schooled because of ill health as a child. He graduated from Harvard (where he was a boxing champion) and in 1880 entered law school. He dropped out a year later to enter politics. He is often ranked as the greatest ever U.S. President.
西奧多·羅斯福是美國第26任總統，人稱“泰迪”。他的任期為1901-1909，共兩屆。1858年，他出生于紐約市。小時候體弱多病，大部分時間在家中完成學業。羅斯福畢業于哈佛大學（當時他是學校的拳擊冠軍），1880年，進入法律學校。一年之后輟學，并進入政壇。人們經常認為他是美國最偉大的總統。
During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel of the Rough Rider Regiment, which he led on a charge at the battle of San Juan. His war-hero status prompted New York Republicans to nominate himas Governor to draw attention away from the state’s scandals. Roosevelt won the election and served with distinction for two years.
美西戰爭期間，羅斯福擔任第一志愿騎兵旅的中校，并在圣胡安戰役中沖鋒陷陣。戰爭英雄的稱號使得紐約的共和黨人提名羅斯福為紐約市長，并以此來轉移美國丑聞的注意力。羅斯福獲得了選舉的勝利，并以優異的表現任職兩年。
Roosevelt became Vice President in March 1901. Six months later, with the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the youngest President in the nation's history. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.
1901年3月，羅斯福成為了美國副總統。6個月之后，隨著麥金萊總統的遇刺，不到43歲的羅斯福成為了美國歷史上最年輕的總統。他的總統生涯充滿了驚喜和力量，他激勵美國國會和民眾實施強有力的改革政策，以及強勢的外交政策。
As President, Roosevelt believed that the Government should play a greater role in the economy. He steeredthe U.S. more actively into world politics. He liked to quote a favorite proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far." He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War. Someof his biggest achievements were in conserving America’s national parks. He died in 1919 aged 60.
作為總統，羅斯福認為政府應該在經濟中扮演重要角色。他讓美國在世界政治中變得更加活躍。他喜歡醫用一句格言：“言語溫和，手持大棒”。他也因為在日俄戰爭中的調停作用而獲得了諾貝爾和平獎。他的許多偉大成就就是保護了美國的許多國家公園。1919年，羅斯福去世，享年60歲。
