作为总统，他显得令人安心、简单，被嘲笑为一个脾气好、笨手笨脚的人——“老笨蛋”——但在这个形象的背后，他是一个掌控一切的人，一个用原子弹赌博的扑克玩家，一个有信心反对军队的终身军人。

他与麦克阿瑟相处得不好，他与他的妻子相处得不好。
There wasn't enough money to really do the kind of things with the Philippine army that he had been promised, and in many ways he thought that this was going to be a graveyard for his career, that it all might end in the Philippines.

Eisenhower's years languishing in the Philippines now paid off.
艾森豪威尔在菲律宾度过的岁月现在得到了回报。
John Eisenhower, Son/Military Historian: It was my dad's knowledge of the plans for Philippine defense that brought him to General Marshall's staff, and that of course led to the jobs he had.
约翰·艾森豪威尔，儿子/军事历史学家：正是我父亲对菲律宾防御计划的了解，使他成为了马歇尔将军的幕僚，当然也导致了他所从事的工作。
I'm sure that my dad would have had a good job in World War II, possibly as an army commander or something like that, but the jobs that he had -- that spectacular -- were probably due to the fact that he served in the Philippines with MacArthur, no question about that.
我确信我父亲在第二次世界大战中会找到一份好工作，可能是一名陆军指挥官或类似的职位，但他所从事的工作——如此壮观——可能是因为他在菲律宾与麦克阿瑟一起服役，这是毫无疑问的。

Marshall asked Eisenhower for a plan to fight in Europe, to be implemented by an American commander yet to be appointed.
马歇尔向艾森豪威尔提出了一项在欧洲作战的计划，由尚未任命的美国指挥官执行。
Forrest Pogue, U.S. Army Historian: And when Ike brought that to Marshall at the War Department, Marshall said, ''Are you satisfied with it?
美国陆军历史学家福雷斯特·波格：当艾克将其带给陆军部的马歇尔时，马歇尔说：“你对此满意吗？”
Is that what you want?

Is this the kind of directive you want to issue to that man?'' And when Ike said yes, he thought it was a good one, Marshall said, ''Well, you better like it, because you're going to carry it out.''
这是你想向那个人发出的指令吗？”当艾克说是的时候，他认为这是一个很好的指令，马歇尔说，“好吧，你最好喜欢它，因为你将执行它。”

艾森豪威尔的任务是让他们为入侵法国做好准备，并与英国结成战斗伙伴关系，但一开始，艾森豪威尔说，“英国和美国人走到一起，就像斗牛犬遇见猫一样。”
Sir Michael Howard, Military Historian: The British approached the alliance from the point of view that the Americans have got everything to learn and the British were there to teach them.
军事历史学家迈克尔·霍华德爵士：英国人与美国结盟的观点是，美国人有一切需要学习的东西，而英国人则可以教他们。
The Americans approached it through the point of view that if anybody had anything to teach them, it was not the British who had been beaten over and over again and were not a very good army and did not produce any very good generals.
美国人的观点是，如果有人可以教给他们什么的话，那就不是英国人，他们一次又一次地被打败，他们不是一支非常优秀的军队，也没有培养出任何非常好的将军。
So they did start with this mutual suspicion, mutual antagonism which Eisenhower had got to deal with, and which he dealt with extremely effectively.
因此，他们确实从这种相互猜疑、相互对抗开始，艾森豪威尔必须处理这些问题，而且他处理得非常有效。
McCullough: [voice-over] Eisenhower's easy charm served him well in London.

The family was like a magnet to the press, who flocked to Abilene to do background stories on where this general came from.
这个家庭就像一块磁石，吸引着媒体，他们纷纷涌向阿比林，报道这位将军的出身背景。
The press also found it fascinating that his mother was a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, which was a pacifist sect.
媒体还发现，令人着迷的是，他的母亲是和平主义教派耶和华见证人的成员。
And here we've got this famous general who is the son of a pacifist.
这里有一位著名的将军，他是和平主义者的儿子。
So there were just so many angles to play.
所以有很多角度可以发挥。
McCullough: [voice-over] ''I live in a goldfish bowl,'' he wrote Mamie, ''no home to go to where there is incentive to forget the work part of my existence, no exercise, either.
麦卡洛：[画外音]“我生活在金鱼缸里，”他写信给玛米，“没有家可以去，那里有动力让我忘记我存在的工作部分，也没有锻炼。
In fact, hotel life is bearing down on me.'' Eisenhower soon found a substitute home in a wooded area just outside London, Telegraph Cottage.

I never faulted Eisenhower for whatever happened between him and Kay Summersby.
我从来没有因为艾森豪威尔和凯·萨默斯比之间发生的事情而责怪他。
I think he loved his wife, Mamie, and like the old joke goes, ''What's the difference between British and American women?'' ''Well, none, but she was there.''
我认为他爱他的妻子玛米，就像那个老笑话所说的那样，“英国女人和美国女人有什么区别？”“嗯，没有，但她在那里。”

马蒂·皮内特（Mattie Pinette），机密秘书：我认为他非常喜欢凯，这是毫无疑问的。

毕竟，她非常有吸引力，她开车送他到这里，她开车送他到那里，所以——但就外遇而言，我不这么认为。
After all, she lived with us, and she was with us all the time when she wasn't driving him.
毕竟，她和我们住在一起，当她不开车送他的时候，她一直和我们在一起。

Twice during that three days together, Eisenhower slipped and called Mamie ''Kay.'' He immediately apologized, said, ''Kay's the only woman I ever see, she's the only woman I'm ever around, it was just a slip of the tongue,'' but of course none of this sounded all that good to Mamie, who was terribly worried through the war, because every time she saw her husband's picture -- which was daily, really -- there was Kay at his side.
在一起的三天里，艾森豪威尔有两次失言，称玛米为“凯”。他立即道歉，说，“凯是我见过的唯一的女人，她是我身边唯一的女人，这只是口误。”当然，这一切对玛米来说听起来都不太好，她在战争期间非常担心，因为每次她看到她丈夫的照片——实际上是每天——他身边有凯。
And the rumors were sweeping not just England but the United States about Ike and his driver.
关于艾克和他的司机的谣言不仅席卷了英格兰，还席卷了美国。

''London, August 26, 1942.
” 伦敦，1942 年 8 月 26 日。
Darling, in a place like this the commanding general must be a bit of a diplomat, lawyer, promoter, social hound, liar, at least to get out of social affairs, and, incidentally -- sometimes I think most damnably incidentally -- a soldier.''
亲爱的，在这样的地方，指挥官必须是一名外交官、律师、发起人、社交猎犬、骗子，至少要摆脱社会事务，而且，顺便说一句——有时我认为最可恶的是——一名士兵。”

Greenstein, Presidency Scholar: He described what had to be one of the most dismal and depressing episodes of World War II.
格林斯坦，总统学者：他描述了第二次世界大战中最悲惨和令人沮丧的事件之一。
It was the point when he was down in the dank tunnels of Gibraltar, waiting to see whether the United States would be able to land its troops under his leadership in North Africa, whether the Vichy France would resist the landing.
就在那时，他在直布罗陀潮湿的隧道里，等待着看看美国是否能够在他的领导下在北非登陆，维希法国是否会抵抗登陆。
The physical circumstances were depressing.
身体状况令人沮丧。
It was clear that this dismalness began to overpower him.
很明显，这种沮丧开始压倒他。
Stephen E.
斯蒂芬·E。
Ambrose, Eisenhower Biographer: He said that he learned the most important lesson of leadership at that time, and that was that optimism spreads downward from the supreme commander and pessimism spreads downward even faster, that it was therefore critical in a leadership role to always exude optimism.
艾森豪威尔传记作者安布罗斯：他说，他当时学到的最重要的领导教训是，乐观情绪从最高统帅向下传播，而悲观情绪向下传播得更快，因此，在领导角色中始终流露出乐观情绪至关重要。
Fred L.
弗雷德·L。
Greenstein, Presidency Scholar: And it was at that point that he realized how important the grin-- and what was behind it: the radiation, the ability to radiate a sense of self-confidence, how important that was.
格林斯坦，总统学者：就在那时，他意识到笑容有多么重要——以及它背后的含义：辐射，散发出自信感的能力，这是多么重要。

历史学家贝施洛斯：北非司令部是艾森豪威尔第一次在战斗中指挥部队，这确实表明了这一点。

There's a point there where the man I knew suddenly begins and a more remote figure -- my grandfather, Dwight Eisenhower as a colonel or a major in the peacetime Army -- where that individual suddenly begins to fade.
到了某个时刻，我认识的那个人突然开始变成一个更遥远的人物——我的祖父德怀特·艾森豪威尔，他是和平时期陆军的上校或少校——那个人突然开始消失。

Nigel Hamilton, Montgomery's Biographer: And Monty felt that it was really one of the great tragedies of history that Eisenhower, who was such a good supreme commander, who was so good at this business of getting people around a table and getting Army people to speak to Navy people to speak to Air people-- he felt it was a tragedy that that man should insist to take over the Allied armies in the field for, he thought, political, nationalistic reasons.
奈杰尔·汉密尔顿，蒙哥马利的传记作者：蒙蒂认为，艾森豪威尔确实是历史上最大的悲剧之一，他是一位如此优秀的最高统帅，非常擅长让人们围坐在一起，让陆军人员与海军人员交谈，与空军人员交谈——他认为，这个人出于政治和民族主义原因，坚持在战场上接管盟军，这是一场悲剧。

德国人伤亡五十万。
He felt that that was the one moment when the Allies had such superiority, such momentum and the Germans were in such disarray, fighting on two fronts against the Russian and against the Allies, that that was the moment we should have seized; and that if he'd been allowed to continue [being] commander of the field armies, he could have brought the war to an end in 1944.
他认为，正是在这个时刻，盟军拥有如此的优势，如此的势头，而德国人却处于如此混乱的状态，在两条战线上与俄罗斯人和盟军作战，这就是我们应该抓住的时刻；如果他被允许继续担任野战军指挥官，他本可以在 1944 年结束战争。

And he asked, ''How is it on your side?'' And Eisenhower said, ''I get the same kind of pressures on my side.''
