Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States and the last to be born in the nineteenth century. He was born in Texas in 1890, the third of seven sons. He excelled in sports in high school, and received an appointment to the West Point Military Academy. This prepared him for a distinguished career in the Army. He is often ranked as one of America’s top 10 Presidents.
德懷特·戴維·艾森豪威爾是美國第34任總統，他也是最后一位出生在19世紀的總統。1890年，艾森豪威爾出生于德克薩斯州，在七個兄弟姐妹中他排名老三。在高中時，體育是他的強項，之后進入西點軍校學習。這為他以后輝煌的軍事道路做好了準備。他是美國十大杰出總統之中的一位。
In his early Army career, he excelled in his duties. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, he was called to Washington for a war plans assignment. He commanded the Allied Forces landing in North Africa. On D-Day, 1944, he led the troops invading France. After the war, he became President of Columbia University. In 1951 he became the first Supreme Commander of the newly established NATO forces.
在他早年的軍事生涯中，他盡職盡責。日本偷襲珍珠港之后，他奉命前往華盛頓參加軍事部署計劃。他指揮同盟國作戰。1944年的諾曼底登陸，他帶領軍隊進軍法國。戰后，他成為了哥倫比亞大學校長。1951年，他成為了“北約”組織的首位最高指揮官，這是一個剛剛建立的組織。
Republicans persuaded him to run for President in 1952. "I like Ike" was an irresistible slogan; he won with a sweeping victory. During his two terms in office, Eisenhower got a truce in Korea and worked tirelessly to ease the tensions of the Cold War. This was difficult as both the US and Soviet Union were stockpiling nuclear bombs. He signed the bill that created NASA to compete with the Russians in the space race.
共和黨勸說他參加1952年的總統競選，“我愛艾森豪威爾”成為了人們喜歡的標語；他以壓倒性的優勢獲得了勝利。在他的兩屆任期內，艾森豪威爾停止了朝鮮戰爭，并不顧一切地緩解了冷戰的緊張。能夠做到這一點是很難的，當時美國和蘇聯都在加緊囤積原子彈。他還建立了美國國家航空和宇宙航行局，從而更好的與蘇聯展開太空競賽。
At home, he pursued the moderate policies of "Modern Republicanism." When he left office in 1961, he pointed out that, "America is today the strongest, most influential, and most productive nation in the world." He also ordered the complete desegregation of the Armed Forces. "There must be no second class citizens inthis country," he wrote. He died after a long illness on March 28, 1969.
在國內，他遵循著適度的“現代共和主義政策”。1961年卸任，他指出：“美國是當今實力最強、影響最大、生產力最強的國家”。他還命令完全廢除軍隊的種族歧視。他說：“美國沒有下等公民，”1969年3月28日，他因疾病而去世。
