读书笔记：My Life -- Bill Clinton

偶然的机会找到这本书，让我能对这位美国总统有一点点多的了解。

花了两天时间，读了一点点，做一个小的笔记，对其中的几个句子翻译做一个小结，从来没有做过翻译，当是练习了。

My Life----Bill Clinton P1

Whether I'm a good man is, of course, for God to judge. I know that I am not as good as my strongest supporters believe or as I hope to become, nor as bad as my harshest critics assert.
我是否是一个好人，当然应该是的，上帝可以证明。我知道，我并不是一个像我的那些最踏实的支持者所认为的或者是我所希望的那样好，也并不像我的那些最刻求的批评家们所断言的那样坏。

My Life----Bill Clinton P6

As for me, I was't quite sure what to make of it all, but give the life I've led, I could hardly be surprised that my father was more complicated than the idealized prictures I had lived with for nearly half a century.
就我而言，我真的不能确信对于以上的内容我应该做些什么，然而作为给予我最重要的生命（的父亲），他比起和和一起生活了近半个世界的想像中的（父亲）要复杂的多，对此我几乎惊呆了。

My Life ---- Bill Clinton P6

Then, he said, "On Memorieal Day of this year, I was thumbing through a copy of the New York Daily News with my morning coffee when suddly I felt as if I was struck by lightning.  There in the lower left-hand corner of the paper was a photo of Bill. I felt chills to learn that Bill was none other than the father of the President of the United Stats."
接着，他说：“在今年的阵亡将士纪念日的早上，我边喝着Coffee边看着纽约时报，突然我感觉像是被闪电击中一样。在报纸的左下角上有一张Bill的照片。我不禁打了个寒战，原来（当年）我所认识的Bill不是别人，正是当今美国总统的父亲！”

My Life ---- Bill Clinton P7

In her beautiful hand, she wrote of her hartbreak, and her detemination to carry on:"It seemed almost unbelievable at the time but you see I am six months pregnant and the thought of our baby keeps me going and really gives me the whole world before me."
她（Clinton的母亲）用她那漂亮的笔迹写到，她的心都碎了，然而还是决定继续下去：“那时，一切都看上去是那么的不可思议，然而如你所看到的，我已经有六个月的身孕了，作（我们的）孩子看，我以坚持下去，而且这成为我世界里的全部。”

My Life ---- Bill Clintion P7

My father left me withe the feeling that I had to live for two people, and that if I did it well enough, shomehow I could make up for the life he should have had.
我父亲留给我的感觉是我应该为两个人而活着，要是我能做到该多好呀，不知道怎地我应该弥补他曾经应该拥有的生命。
