And the families that lived on those estates were generally friends with one another, related very often to each other, and were the only people that visited one another.

住在这些庄园里的家庭通常都是朋友,彼此之间经常有联系,并且是唯一互相拜访的人。

I think it's fair to say that even the professional men in the towns, who were the doctors and the lawyers and so on, were not generally invited to the river houses to dinner.

我认为公平地说,即使是城镇里的职业人士,如医生、律师等,一般也不会被邀请到河边的房子里吃饭。

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 富兰克林·罗斯福于 1882 年 1 月 30 日出生在纽约海德公园,他的父母称其为斯普林伍德,是一座森林茂密的大庄园。

Nearly every detail of Franklin's childhood was recorded with single-minded devotion by his mother, Sarah Delano Roosevelt.

Franklin was eight and a half years old before he was allowed to bathe himself.

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: If it's the job of a mother to make her child feel that he or she can do anything, then Sarah Delano Roosevelt was surely one of the great mothers in American history.

grew up in a very tight little island.

He learned how to please adults from probably before he remembered.

大概在他记事之前,他就学会了如何取悦大人。

His activities were related to showing off for them, relating to them, not to other children, and he didn't go off to play games with other children.

他的活动是为了向他们炫耀,与他们有关,而不是与其他孩子有关,他也不会去和其他孩子一起玩游戏。

I don't think he ever swung a baseball bat until he finally went to school.

He was tutored at home or abroad, because every year they went abroad for several months.

他在国内或国外接受辅导,因为每年他们都会出国几个月。

F.D.R., with all this attention, was undoubtedly a lonely boy.

受到如此关注的罗斯福无疑是一个孤独的男孩。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Franklin wandered his family estate, secure, he later said, in the peacefulness and regularity of things.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]富兰克林在他的家族庄园里漫步,他后来说,一切都安宁而有规律,很安全。

Then, when he was nine, his well-ordered world fractured.

然后,当他九岁的时候,他井然有序的世界崩溃了。

His 63-year-old father suffered a heart attack.

他63岁的父亲心脏病发作。

Any irritation might aggravate him, provoke another heart attack and kill him.

任何刺激都可能使他恼怒,引发另一次心脏病发作并杀死他。

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: His father's sickness must have reinforced the tendency that was already in him as a small child to be a nice boy, to never make any trouble, never make anybody sad.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温(Doris Kearns Goodwin),传记作家:他父亲的病肯定强化了他小时候就已经存在的倾向,要做一个好男孩,永远不惹任何麻烦,永远不让任何人悲伤。

Now he had to worry, "If I go in there and make trouble, I may weaken his already-weakened heart." So it must have put an enormous pressure on this kid.

现在他不得不担心,“如果我进去闹事,可能会削弱他本就脆弱的心。”所以这对这个孩子来说一定是一个巨大的压力。

David McCullough: [voice-over] With an infirm father and a domineering mother, Franklin learned to conceal his true feelings.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 富兰克林的父亲体弱多病,母亲专横,他学会了隐藏自己的真实感受。

Throughout his life, he would remain a charming but distant figure even to those who were closest to him.

在他的一生中,即使对于最亲近的人来说,他仍然是一个迷人但疏远的人物。

When he was 14 years old, Franklin left the rarified world of his Hyde Park estate.

14 岁时,富兰克林离开了海德公园庄园的稀有世界。

His path seemed clear -- boarding school, Harvard, and an uneventful life of luxury and ease among his own kind.

他的道路似乎很清晰——寄宿学校、哈佛,以及与自己的同类一起过着平静、奢华、安逸的生活。

"Dear Mama, I am getting on very well with the fellows.

“亲爱的妈妈,我和大家相处得很好。

I have not had any black marks or lateness yet, and I'm much better in my studies."

我还没有出现任何黑点,也没有迟到,而且我的学习也好多了。”

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: His letters are always cheerful -- everything's wonderful, he's having a grand time with the other fellows -- and yet he wasn't.

杰弗里·沃德,传记作家:他的信总是令人愉快的——一切都很美好,他和其他人一起度过了愉快的时光——但他却并非如此。

He was, I think, quite unhappy.

我认为他非常不高兴。

David McCullough: [voice-over] At Groton, the private school for sons of the rich, Franklin, with all his charm and self-assurance, expected to excel.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]在格罗顿,一所为富人子弟开设的私立学校,富兰克林凭借他的魅力和自信,有望取得优异的成绩。

He did please his teachers and took to heart his headmaster's urgings toward public service, but he did not fit in with the boys.

他确实取悦了老师,并牢记校长对公共服务的敦促,但他与男孩们格格不入。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: Groton was his first exposure to other children on a regular basis.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:格罗顿是他第一次定期接触其他孩子。

After all, he boarded -- all the children boarded -- so he was with other boys 24 hours a day.

毕竟,他寄宿了——所有的孩子都寄宿了——所以他一天 24 小时都和其他男孩在一起。

And it must have been a rude shock to come out of that nest, that very protective nest where he was the only bird or chick in the nest.

从那个鸟巢里出来一定是一种粗鲁的震惊,那个非常有保护性的鸟巢,他是鸟巢里唯一的鸟或小鸡。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Sports meant everything at Groton, but Franklin was too slight for success.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 在格罗顿,体育意味着一切,但富兰克林太瘦弱,无法取得成功。

His mother worried Franklin might be injured and wrote that he "not have the misfortune of hurting anyone." He was enthusiastic about baseball, but only carried the bats and fetched the water for the ballplayers.

他的母亲担心富兰克林可能会受伤,并写道他“没有伤害任何人的不幸”。他热衷于棒球,但只为球员们搬运球棒和打水。

Jeffery Potter, Groton School Alumnus: He wasn't an athlete.

格罗顿学校校友杰弗里·波特:他不是一名运动员。

He had never played with other boys' games much, and that was very bad indeed, because it made him an outsider, as if he wasn't -- no, as if he didn't belong and really in a sense where he didn't belong.

他从来没有玩过太多其他男孩的游戏,这确实很糟糕,因为这让他成为了一个局外人,就好像他不是——不,好像他不属于这里,从某种意义上说,他真的不属于这里。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Plunged into an unforgiving world of adolescent boys, Franklin never fit in.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]富兰克林陷入了一个无情的青春期男孩世界,他永远无法融入其中。

His struggle for acceptance only isolated him further.

他争取接受的斗争只会让他更加孤立。

Jeffery Potter, Groton School Alumnus: Franklin's tone was not the Groton tone.

杰弗里·波特,格罗顿学校校友:富兰克林的语气不是格罗顿的语气。

He seemed so desperate for approval.

他似乎非常渴望得到认可。

He was too ambitious and too eager and he was very much, I would say from what I've heard, very close to being a golden retriever.

他太雄心勃勃,太渴望,而且据我所知,他非常接近成为一只金毛猎犬。

In other words, his tail was always wagging even when it shouldn't be.

换句话说,他的尾巴总是在不该摇的时候摇。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Jeffrey Potter's father was the star of the baseball team.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]杰弗里·波特的父亲是棒球队的明星。

"I can't understand this thing about Frank," he said when Roosevelt became president.

“我无法理解弗兰克的这一点,”罗斯福就任总统时他说道。

"He never amounted to much at school." At Groton, Franklin confessed years later, something had gone sadly wrong.

“他在学校从来没有取得什么成就。”多年后,富兰克林承认,在格罗顿,出现了令人悲哀的错误。

At Harvard, he was determined to win popularity and recognition, and he did succeed.

在哈佛,他决心赢得知名度和认可,而且他确实成功了。

He campaigned for class office and won and was elected editor-in-chief of the college newspaper, but what he wanted even more was admission to Porcellian, Harvard's most exclusive club.

他竞选班主任并获胜并被选为大学报纸的主编,但他更想要的是进入哈佛最高级的俱乐部波尔塞利安(Porcellian)。

Bronson Chanler, Hudson Valley Neighbor: You immediately, if you were a member of the Porcellian Club, were recognized as a-- as we say in the club, a brother, by all graduates who had been in the place that were still alive.

布朗森·钱勒(Bronson Chanler),哈得逊河谷邻居:如果你是波尔塞利安俱乐部的成员,你立刻就会被所有在这个地方还活着的毕业生认作是——正如我们在俱乐部里所说的,兄弟。

But it was essentially a network of friendships, not of power but of friendships, but that could lead to power.

但它本质上是一个友谊网络,不是权力而是友谊,但这可以带来权力。

David McCullough: [voice-over] The election was secret, held behind closed doors in the Porcellian Clubhouse.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]选举是秘密的,在波尔塞利安俱乐部会所闭门举行。

Each member was given one white and one black ball.

每个成员都获得一个白球和一个黑球。

A single black ball deposited in the wooden ballot box was all it took to exclude a candidate.

只需将一个黑球放入木制投票箱中即可将候选人排除在外。

His father had been a member.

他的父亲曾是会员。

So had other Roosevelts.

其他罗斯福家族也是如此。

Franklin had every reason to believe that he would be chosen, too.

富兰克林有充分的理由相信他也会被选中。

Franklin was blackballed.

富兰克林被列入黑名单。

Bronson Chanler, Hudson Valley Neighbor: No doubt Franklin Roosevelt failed to be elected to the Porcellian Club for the simple reason that somebody who was in there at the time didn't like him.

布朗森·钱勒,哈德逊河谷邻居:毫无疑问,富兰克林·罗斯福未能入选波尔塞利安俱乐部,原因很简单,当时在那里的人不喜欢他。

You didn't have to have done anything particularly significant.

你不必做任何特别重要的事情。

The fellow would just say, "I don't like the cut of your jib, so I don't want you in there," and out you went.

那家伙只会说:“我不喜欢你三角帆的剪裁,所以我不想让你在那里,”然后你就出去了。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Years later when he was president and the New Deal at high tide, there were those Porcellian members who would call him a traitor to his class and ascribe his social policies to revenge.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]多年后,当他担任总统和新政达到顶峰时,有些波尔塞利派成员会称他为阶级的叛徒,并将他的社会政策归咎于报复。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: Certainly, none of Roosevelt's classmates at Harvard imagined that he would ever be president.

传记作者杰弗里·沃德:当然,罗斯福在哈佛的同学都没有想到他会成为总统。

I think they were the first of many, many people who underestimated Roosevelt.

我认为他们是许多低估罗斯福的人中的第一个。

From the first, Eleanor Roosevelt saw that there was a serious man beneath the easygoing charm.

For the rest of their life together, even through the most difficult years of their marriage, she would be drawn to the serious side of his nature.

在他们在一起的余生中,即使是在婚姻中最困难的岁月里,她也会被他本性严肃的一面所吸引。

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: Franklin and Eleanor come, from the same social class.

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: From the melancholy lives of both of her parents, Eleanor took away the feeling that love never lasts, that the world is a dark and forbidding place and that you never can count on anything.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温(Doris Kearns Goodwin),传记作家:埃莉诺从她父母忧郁的生活中消除了这样的感觉:爱永远不会持久,世界是一个黑暗而令人生畏的地方,你永远不能指望任何东西。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Then when she was 15, she was sent to an English boarding school called Allenswood where she was encouraged to think for herself, be independent, overcome her fears.

大卫·麦卡洛(David McCullough):[画外音]然后,当她 15 岁时,她被送到一所名为 Allenswood 的英国寄宿学校,在那里她被鼓励独立思考、独立、克服恐惧。

Your devoted Little Nell."

你忠诚的小内尔。”

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: Eleanor's relatives and friends thought of Franklin as a feather duster, which meant somebody who just skimmed along the surface of life and never got very deep into anything at all, so I'm not sure they thought that he was such a wonderful catch for her, because even then Eleanor had a certain vitality, a certain seriousness of purpose that made people feel that she was something special.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温,传记作家:埃莉诺的亲戚和朋友认为富兰克林是一个鸡毛掸子,这意味着一个只在生活表面浮现而从未深入研究过任何事情的人,所以我不确定他们是否认为他对她来说是一个很好的捕获,因为即使在那时,埃莉诺也有一定的活力,有一定的严肃性,让人们觉得她很特别。

Edna Gurewitsch, Roosevelt Family Friend: Can you imagine how different she must have been from the average run of debutantes of the time?

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: And finally she had to accept that this was going to happen and decided that she would control Eleanor and then somehow she wouldn't lose Franklin.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温,传记作家:最后她不得不接受这一切将会发生,并决定她将控制埃莉诺,然后以某种方式她不会失去富兰克林。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: I think F.D.R.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:我认为罗斯福

was very much attracted to my grandmother because they were two lonely people, two people who were not totally satisfied with the standards and ideals of their upper-class group.

我很喜欢我的祖母,因为他们是两个孤独的人,两个对上流社会的标准和理想并不完全满意的人。

And I think the two of them looked at each other and knew that they could draw strength from each other.

我想他们两个互相看着对方,就知道他们可以从对方身上汲取力量。

David McCullough: [voice-over] On March 17, 1905 -- St. Patrick's Day -- Franklin and Eleanor were married.

told the groom, "there's nothing like keeping the name in the family." The honeymoon was a three-month grand tour of Europe.

对新郎说:“没有什么比把名字留在家里更好的了。”这次蜜月是为期三个月的欧洲盛大旅行。

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: On the surface, everything seemed fine -- they're seeing Venice, they're seeing Rome -- but at nights, Roosevelt, Eleanor reported, would be tormented by nightmares, and he sleepwalking.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温,传记作家:表面上,一切似乎都很好——他们看到了威尼斯,他们看到了罗马——但埃莉诺报告说,到了晚上,罗斯福会被噩梦折磨,而且他会梦游。

And then he broke out in hives, all of which suggested that something wasn't right.

然后他就爆发了荨麻疹,所有这些都表明出了什么问题。

David McCullough: [voice-over] They climbed the Alps, motored through the French countryside.

David McCullough: [voice-over] Back in America, Sarah was waiting.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]回到美国,莎拉正在等待。

"I am so glad," Sarah had written them, "that although you've had such a perfect time, you are now anxious to see home and Mother again." That winter, as a Christmas gift, Sarah gave them a drawing with the note scrawled on the bottom: "To Franklin and Eleanor from Mama, number and street not yet quite decided."

“我很高兴,”莎拉写信给他们,“尽管你们度过了如此美好的时光,但你们现在却渴望再次见到家和母亲。”那年冬天,作为圣诞礼物,莎拉送给他们一幅画,画的底部潦草地写着:“妈妈致富兰克林和埃莉诺,门牌号和街道尚未确定。”

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: When Franklin and Eleanor arrive home from their honeymoon, Sarah tells them, "I've got a present for you, it's great, a new home." Not only that, but it's furnished by her, it's structured by her, it's decorated by her, it's her.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温,传记作家:当富兰克林和埃莉诺度蜜月回家时,莎拉告诉他们,“我给你们准备了一份礼物,很棒,一个新家。”不仅如此,它是她布置的,是她建造的,是她装饰的,是她。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Sarah built them a brownstone and then moved into its twin next door.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]莎拉为他们建造了一座褐砂石建筑,然后搬进了隔壁的双胞胎公寓。

And Eleanor Roosevelt writes there was never any privacy day or night.

埃莉诺·罗斯福写道,白天或晚上都没有任何隐私。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: In a way, great-grandmother made her dependent.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:在某种程度上,曾祖母让她变得依赖。

She wanted both her son and her daughter-in-law to be dependent upon her.

她希望儿子和儿媳都能依赖她。

His mother controlled F.D.R.'s purse strings until the day she died in 1941 when he was into his third term as president, and -- but, you know, the President of the United States didn't control his own income.

他的母亲控制着罗斯福的钱袋,直到 1941 年去世,当时罗斯福已进入第三个总统任期,而且——但是,你知道,美国总统并不能控制自己的收入。

His mother did.

他的母亲做到了。

Eleanor Seagraves, Granddaughter: The first 10 years of her married life were spent having children -- six children in about 10 years.

埃莉诺·西格雷夫斯(Eleanor Seagraves),孙女:她婚姻生活的头 10 年是在生孩子中度过的——大约 10 年里生了 6 个孩子。

She loved the children, but she didn't really know how to run that infant stage.

她爱孩子们,但她真的不知道如何度过婴儿阶段。

Edna Gurewitsch, Roosevelt Family Friend: I think she was totally inept when it came to dealing with children.

埃德娜·古鲁维奇,罗斯福家族的朋友:我认为她在与孩子打交道时完全无能。

She relied on her mother-in-law and on the various governesses and was so unsure of herself not only because she was an unsure person at the time, but she had never experienced mother love.

她依赖婆婆,依赖各种家庭教师,对自己如此缺乏自信,不仅因为她当时是一个没有自信的人,而且她从未体验过母爱。

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: And because she felt insecure about not knowing how to mother her own children, she once again turned to Sarah.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温,传记作家:因为她对不知道如何照顾自己的孩子感到不安全,所以她再次求助于莎拉。

Sarah knew.

莎拉知道。

Sarah had confidence.

莎拉有信心。

Sarah had an opinion about everything.

莎拉对一切都有自己的看法。

So it wasn't only that they brought in nurses and grannies to help the children, Sarah was the overseer of the house entirely and of the kids.

因此,他们不仅请来了护士和奶奶来帮助孩子们,莎拉还完全是这个房子和孩子们的监督者。

Blanche Wiesen Cook, Eleanor Roosevelt Biographer: His mother's ever-looming presence was never challenged.

布兰奇·维森·库克,埃莉诺·罗斯福传记作者:他母亲的存在从未受到挑战。

F.D.R.

罗斯福

never wanted to move out of his mother's home, and so they lived in Sarah Delano Roosevelt's homes.

从来不想搬出他母亲的家,所以他们住在莎拉·德拉诺·罗斯福的家里。

At Hyde Park, it's her home, so she sits at the head of the table, Franklin sits at the other end of the table, and Eleanor sits somewhere in the middle with the children.

在海德公园,这是她的家,所以她坐在桌子的一头,富兰克林坐在桌子的另一端,埃莉诺和孩子们坐在中间的某个地方。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: I see her as an upper-class grande dame who knew her place.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:我认为她是一位知道自己地位的上层阶级贵妇。

She was just doing what came naturally.

她只是在做自然而然的事情。

She, in a way, knew who she was, and my grandmother, in the early years of her marriage, didn't know who she was.

在某种程度上,她知道自己是谁,而我的祖母在结婚初期并不知道她是谁。

That took a long time for her to find out.

她花了很长时间才明白这一点。

David McCullough: [voice-over] In the early 1900s, the Roosevelts appeared to be an utterly conventional upper class couple, with Franklin amiably dabbling in the law, but at 25, he was bored and restless, looking for an outlet for his enormous energies.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 1900 年代初,罗斯福夫妇似乎是一对完全传统的上流社会夫妇,富兰克林则热衷于涉足法律,但 25 岁时,他感到无聊且焦躁不安,正在寻找发泄巨大能量的出口。

To a fellow law clerk, he confided a remarkable secret ambition.

他向一位律师同事透露了一个非凡的秘密野心。

Grenville Clark, Law Clerk: He said he intended to enter political life as soon as he could, with a view to becoming president.

格伦维尔·克拉克(Grenville Clark),法律助理:他说他打算尽快进入政治生活,以成为总统。

He said that modestly enough but very definitely, and he laid out a definite plan.

他说得很谦虚,但很明确,并且制定了明确的计划。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Franklin told Clark he would follow the path blazed by his hero, Theodore Roosevelt -- state legislature, assistant secretary of the Navy, governor of New York, President of the United States.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]富兰克林告诉克拉克,他将追随他的英雄西奥多·罗斯福开辟的道路——西奥多·罗斯福是州立法机构、海军助理部长、纽约州州长、美国总统。

Cousin Theodore had already proved that a gentleman might, as Franklin's mother said, "go into politics but not be a politician."

西奥多表弟已经证明,正如富兰克林母亲所说,绅士可以“涉足政坛,但不能成为政治家”。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: Theodore Roosevelt was almost an obsession with Franklin.

传记作者杰弗里·沃德:西奥多·罗斯福几乎对富兰克林着迷。

When he was told he had to wear glasses, he got pince-nez and put them on his nose, because Theodore Roosevelt wore pince-nez.

当他被告知必须戴眼镜时,他戴上夹鼻眼镜并将其戴在鼻子上,因为西奥多·罗斯福戴着夹鼻眼镜。

He would say things like, "bully" and "dee-lighted" when he was talking to the press early in his political career.

在他政治生涯的早期,当他接受媒体采访时,他会说“欺负”和“dee-lighted”之类的话。

He was fascinated by his energy, his enthusiasm, above all, I think, in his feeling that government could do enormous amounts of good.

他对自己的精力和热情着迷,我认为最重要的是,他觉得政府可以做很多好事。

Theodore Roosevelt was the great model for Franklin Roosevelt.

西奥多·罗斯福是富兰克林·罗斯福的伟大典范。

David McCullough: [voice-over] In 1910 at the age of 28, Franklin jumped at the chance to follow in his cousin Theodore's footsteps.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 1910 年,28 岁的富兰克林抓住了追随他表弟西奥多的脚步的机会。

He was invited to run for the state senate, mostly because his last name was Roosevelt.

他被邀请竞选州参议员,主要是因为他的姓氏是罗斯福。

He ran as a Democrat, although T.R.

他以民主党身份参选,尽管 T.R.

was a Republican.

是一名共和党人。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: His father had been a Democrat, but I think the real reason was that Theodore Roosevelt had several sons, all of whom, everyone presumed, were going to have political careers in the Republican Party, and there was simply not enough room for another Republican Roosevelt.

传记作家杰弗里·沃德:他的父亲曾是民主党人,但我认为真正的原因是西奥多·罗斯福有几个儿子,每个人都认为他们都将在共和党从事政治生涯,而根本没有足够的空间容纳另一个共和党罗斯福。

Eleanor Roosevelt: He was offered the impossible task of running for office in Duchess County.

埃莉诺·罗斯福:他接受了一项不可能完成的任务:竞选公爵夫人县的公职。

No Democrat had ever been elected in 32 years.

32 年来从未有民主党人当选。

He wasn't a very good speaker in those early days.

早期他并不是一个很好的演讲者。

There would be horrible long pauses, and I would wonder whether he was ever going on again.

会有可怕的长时间停顿,我想知道他是否会再次继续。

He made a very vigorous campaign, and it just happening that that year was a Democratic sweep and he got in.

他发起了一场非常激烈的竞选活动,恰好那一年民主党大获全胜,他就加入了。

Otherwise, I don't think he would have started then at all.

否则的话,我想他根本就不会开始。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Franklin celebrated by handing out $14 worth of good cigars.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]富兰克林通过分发价值 14 美元的优质雪茄来庆祝。

In Albany, in the rough-and-tumble world of state politics, he began his career in the style of his cousin Theodore.

在奥尔巴尼,在混乱的州政治世界中,他以他表弟西奥多的风格开始了自己的职业生涯。

Within days of being sworn in, he led a rebellion against the leadership of his own party.

宣誓就职后的几天内,他领导了一场反对本党领导的叛乱。

He lost and the bosses never forgave him.

他输了,老板们也永远不会原谅他。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: Party regulars couldn't stand him.

杰弗里·沃德(Geoffrey Ward),传记作者:党内常客无法忍受他。

They thought he was rich, spoiled, unwilling to compromise or cooperate -- a snob.

他们认为他很有钱,被宠坏了,不愿意妥协或合作——一个势利小人。

David McCullough: [voice-over] "This fellow is still young," one of them said, "Wouldn't it be safer to drown him before he grows up?" To survive, Franklin would need help, and he turned to a shrewd, strange-looking reporter, Louis Howe.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]“这家伙还年轻,”其中一人说道,“在他长大之前把他淹死不是更安全吗?”为了生存,富兰克林需要帮助,他求助于一位精明、长相奇怪的记者路易斯·豪。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: I remember the smell of Louis Howe more than anything else -- a gnome, gaunt, short wispy hair -- I mean, enough to scare a child, and I was.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:我最记得路易·豪的气味——一个侏儒,憔悴的,稀疏的短发——我的意思是,足以吓到一个孩子,而我就是。

Blanche Wiesen Cook, Eleanor Roosevelt Biographer: He's dirty.

布兰奇·维森·库克,埃莉诺·罗斯福传记作者:他很脏。

He never showers or bathes enough.

他淋浴或洗澡从来都不够。

He smokes these dreadful, smelly Sweet Caporal cigarettes and the ashes, you know, sort of coat his vest and tie.

他抽这些可怕的、臭味十足的甜卡波拉香烟,烟灰,你知道,有点覆盖在他的背心和领带上。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Franklin's mother especially disliked him.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]富兰克林的母亲特别不喜欢他。

"That dirty little man," she called him.

“那个肮脏的小男人,”她骂他。

Eleanor, too, disapproved.

埃莉诺也表示不同意。

Blanche Wiesen Cook, Eleanor Roosevelt Biographer: They want him out.

布兰奇·维森·库克,埃莉诺·罗斯福传记作者:他们希望他下台。

He represents the worst, the smelliest, you know, stuff of politics.

他代表了政治中最糟糕、最臭的东西。

He drinks, he smokes, he curses.

他喝酒,他抽烟,他咒骂。

He's a pain.

他是一个痛苦。

Out of there.

离开那里。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: But still Louis Howe was a seasoned politician.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:但路易斯·豪仍然是一位经验丰富的政治家。

As you might say, he knew where all the bodies were buried, and F.D.R.

正如你可能会说的,他知道所有尸体都埋在哪里,而且罗斯福也知道。

needed to know.

需要知道。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Together Howe and Franklin formed one of the oddest alliances in American political history.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]豪和富兰克林一起组成了美国政治史上最奇怪的联盟之一。

It would last until Howe's death in 1936.

这种状态一直持续到 1936 年豪去世为止。

"I was so impressed with Franklin Roosevelt," Howe liked to say of their first meeting, "I thought then nothing but an accident could keep him from becoming President of the United States."

“富兰克林·罗斯福给我留下了深刻的印象,”豪在谈到他们的第一次会面时喜欢这样说道,“我当时想,除了一次意外之外,没有什么能阻止他成为美国总统。”

In 1913, after only two years in Albany, the Democratic state senator with the famous last name was summoned to Washington.

1913 年,在奥尔巴尼仅仅呆了两年后,这位姓氏著名的民主党州参议员就被召唤到华盛顿。

Impressed by his growing reputation as a reform Democrat and by Franklin's pedigree, President Woodrow Wilson offered him the job of assistant secretary of the Navy, the same job that Theodore Roosevelt had used to catapult himself to the presidency.

伍德罗·威尔逊总统对他作为改革民主党人日益增长的声誉和富兰克林的血统印象深刻,向他提供了助理海军部长的职位,西奥多·罗斯福也曾利用这一职位登上总统宝座。

He was just 31 years old.

他当时才31岁。

Franklin loved the Navy.

富兰克林热爱海军。

He pressed for the largest possible fleet, learned to deal with Congress, businessmen, labor, and he built a reputation as enthusiastic, efficient, hard-working.

他要求建立尽可能最大的舰队,学会与国会、商人和劳工打交道,并建立了热情、高效、勤奋的声誉。

But just as he began to walk the corridors of real power, first he put his job and then his marriage in jeopardy.

但正当他开始走上实权的走廊时,他首先将自己的工作置于危险之中,然后又将婚姻置于危险之中。

Blanche Wiesen Cook, Eleanor Roosevelt Biographer: Washington for Franklin is a great liberation.

You know, he never had a teenage rebellion.

He never had a moment where he defied his mother or his wife.

他从来没有反抗过他的母亲或妻子。

He had really been a dutiful son and he'd really been a dutiful husband.

他确实是一个孝顺的儿子,也确实是一个孝顺的丈夫。

Washington blew all that out of the water, if I may use a naval term for the assistant secretary of the Navy.

如果我可以用一个海军术语来形容海军助理部长的话,华盛顿就把这一切都从水中吹了出来。

David McCullough: [voice-over] He was a young man on the make.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]他是一个正在成长的年轻人。

He worked for Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, and he wanted his job -- ridiculed him behind his back, undermined his decisions.

他为海军部长约瑟夫斯·丹尼尔斯工作,他想要这份工作——在背后嘲笑他,破坏他的决定。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: F.D.R.

杰弗里·沃德,传记作者:F.D.R.

worked as a subordinate under Josephus Daniels for almost eight years, and he was a terrible subordinate.

在约瑟夫斯·丹尼尔斯手下当了将近八年的下属,他是一个糟糕的下属。

I think he simply couldn't stand the notion that someone was giving him orders about something he was quite sure he knew much more about.

我认为他根本无法忍受有人对他确信自己了解更多的事情发号施令。

Roosevelt undercut his boss time and again.

罗斯福一次又一次地削弱他的老板。

He went over his head to the President from time to time, and Daniels put up with all of it.

他时不时地越过总统的面去见总统,而丹尼尔斯则忍受了这一切。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Daniels said he enjoyed Franklin's spontaneity and gaiety, imagining great things for him.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]丹尼尔斯说他喜欢富兰克林的自发性和快乐,为他想象伟大的事情。

When they looked at their picture taken together, Daniels told him, "I'll tell you why you're smiling.

当他们看着一起拍的照片时,丹尼尔斯告诉他:“我会告诉你你为什么微笑。

We're both looking down on the White House, and you're saying to yourself, 'Someday I will be living in that house.'" Franklin just kept smiling.

我们都看不起白宫,而你却对自己说,‘有一天我会住在那所房子里。’”富兰克林只是微笑着。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: Daniels thought Roosevelt a wonderfully charming young man and, I think, must have been the most patient man in American history, because any other man would have fired Roosevelt for insubordination early on.

杰弗里·沃德,传记作者:丹尼尔斯认为罗斯福是一个非常有魅力的年轻人,我认为他一定是美国历史上最有耐心的人,因为任何其他人都会因为罗斯福不服从而解雇他。

David McCullough: [voice-over] At the same time, Franklin's marriage was heading for trouble.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 与此同时,富兰克林的婚姻正陷入困境。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: It was not a happy household.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:这不是一个幸福的家庭。

F.D.R.

罗斯福

enjoyed himself, he enjoyed having a good time, and unfortunately, he couldn't get my grandmother to go along.

他很享受,他很享受一段美好的时光,不幸的是,他不能让我的祖母一起去。

She actually disapproved.

她其实是不同意的。

She had moral reservations, is the only way I can put it, about really enjoying herself.

她在道德上有所保留,这是我能说的唯一的方式,关于真正享受自己。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Eleanor was caught in what she described as the slavery of the Washington social system, dutifully advancing her husband's career.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]埃莉诺尽职尽责地推进丈夫的事业,她称自己是华盛顿社会制度的奴隶。

Overwhelmed with social obligations, she spent her days leaving her calling cards at the stately homes of the rich and powerful.

由于社会责任的压垮,她整天把名片留在富人和有权势的人的豪宅里。

"I was perfectly certain," Eleanor later wrote, "that I had nothing to offer, and that my duty as the wife of a public official was to do exactly as the majority of women were doing."

“我完全确定,”埃莉诺后来写道,“我没有什么可以提供的,作为一名公职人员的妻子,我的职责就是像大多数女性那样做。”

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: And suddenly the most important thing is to be part of the social whirl of Washington, D.C., which is essentially a round of cocktail parties, trivial conversation, the very thing that Eleanor hates.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温,传记作家:突然之间,最重要的事情就是成为华盛顿特区社交旋涡的一部分,这本质上是一轮鸡尾酒会、琐碎的谈话,而这正是埃莉诺讨厌的事情。

Franklin finds out that he's incredibly well suited for the small-talk, gossipy side of Washington life.

富兰克林发现他非常适合闲聊、八卦的华盛顿生活。

He's a great conversationalist, he loves telling stories, he loves small talk and he loves that kind of superficial connection between people -- and his vitality and his magnetism are beginning to show.

他是一个非常健谈的人,他喜欢讲故事,他喜欢闲聊,他喜欢人与人之间那种肤浅的联系——他的活力和魅力开始显现出来。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Franklin was especially attractive to women.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]富兰克林对女性特别有吸引力。

One Washington hostess described him as the most desirable man she had ever met.

华盛顿的一位女主人形容他是她见过的最令人向往的男人。

Every summer, the Roosevelts seemed to find relief from the strains of Washington on an island off the coast of Maine -- Campobello.

每年夏天,罗斯福夫妇似乎都会在缅因州海岸附近的一个小岛上——坎波贝洛——来缓解华盛顿的压力。

"We spent so little time alone with our parents," their eldest son James later wrote, "that those times are treasured as though gifts from the gods.

“我们和父母独处的时间太少了,”他们的大儿子詹姆斯后来写道,“那些时光就像来自神的礼物一样被珍惜。

Father loved life on the island more than any of us, but got to spend the least time there.

父亲比我们任何人都更热爱岛上的生活,但在那里度过的时间却是最少的。

Mother always liked it because she had her own home, which she ran.

母亲一直很喜欢它,因为她有自己的家,由她经营。

Father taught us to sail.

父亲教我们航海。

This was the one activity he loved above all others, and wanted us to love."

这是他最喜欢的一项活动,也希望我们喜欢。”

But as summer after summer went by, Franklin spent less and less time at Campobello.

但随着夏天的过去,富兰克林在坎波贝洛度过的时间越来越少。

Eleanor grew anxious and suspicious.

埃莉诺变得焦虑和怀疑。

In the summer of 1917, Franklin wrote from Washington to calm her -- "Dearest Babs, you are a goosey girl to think or even pretend to think that I don't want you here all summer, because you know I do.

1917 年夏天,富兰克林从华盛顿写信安抚她——“最亲爱的芭布斯,你真是个愚蠢的女孩,竟然认为甚至假装认为我不希望你整个夏天都待在这儿,因为你知道我愿意。

But honestly, you ought to have six weeks straight at Campo, just as I ought to, only you can and I can't."

但老实说,你应该在坎波连续呆六个星期,就像我应该的那样,只有你可以,而我不能。”

When America entered World War I, the Navy sent Franklin on an inspection tour of the western front.

美国参加第一次世界大战时,海军派富兰克林视察西部前线。

He reviewed the troops, toured the battlefields, and got as close to the fighting as the military would allow him.

他检阅了部队,参观了战场,并在军队允许的范围内尽可能地接近战斗。

As he was about to sail back to America, he was struck down by a strain of influenza and brought home severely ill.

当他准备乘船返回美国时,他感染了流感,并病重回家。

Franklin was 36 years old.

富兰克林当时36岁。

He had handsome children, a dutiful wife, a famous name, and a rising career.

他有英俊的孩子、贤惠的妻子、响亮的名字和蒸蒸日上的事业。

As Eleanor unpacked his suitcase, she accidentally made a discovery that would change their lives forever -- a packet of love letters to her husband.

当埃莉诺打开手提箱时,她意外地发现了一个将永远改变他们生活的发现——一包写给她丈夫的情书。

Lucy Page Mercer was Eleanor's own social secretary.

露西·佩奇·默瑟是埃莉诺自己的社交秘书。

She was a refined young woman from an old southern Catholic family.

她是一位来自南方古老天主教家庭的优雅年轻女子。

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: Lucy was tall and statuesque.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温,传记作者:露西身材高大,身材匀称。

She had a face, people say, that belonged in drawing rooms.

人们说,她有一张适合客厅的脸。

She had a charm that was rivaled only by Franklin's charm.

她的魅力只能与富兰克林的魅力相媲美。

One thinks of Franklin in those days -- and indeed throughout his life -- as this incorrigible flirt.

人们认为富兰克林在那些日子里——事实上在他的一生中——就是这种无可救药的调情者。

Flirting was a part of his vitality, his magnetism, his charm.

调情是他的活力、魅力和魅力的一部分。

He loved to conquer women in conversation, so that's probably how it started with Lucy, but then I do think it became something more.

他喜欢在谈话中征服女性,所以这可能就是从露西开始的,但后来我确实认为它变得更重要了。

David McCullough: [voice-over] While Eleanor was away at Campobello, Franklin spent time with Lucy alone and even appeared with her at dinner parties.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]当埃莉诺不在坎波贝洛时,富兰克林与露西独处,甚至和她一起出现在晚宴上。

He had fallen in love.

他坠入爱河了。

Blanche Wiesen Cook, Eleanor Roosevelt Biographer: Eleanor Roosevelt really had a very romantic idea that she could have a perfect marriage, that they would love and trust and respect each other and be partners in love the way her parents never were, which is, I think, why her discovery of the Lucy Mercer affair was so devastating to her.

布兰奇·维森·库克,埃莉诺·罗斯福传记作者:埃莉诺·罗斯福确实有一个非常浪漫的想法,她可以拥有一个完美的婚姻,他们会彼此相爱、信任和尊重,成为爱的伴侣,就像她父母从未做过的那样,我认为,这就是为什么她发现露西·默瑟事件对她如此具有毁灭性。

David McCullough: [voice-over] "The bottom dropped out of my own particular world," Eleanor confided to a friend, "and I faced myself, my surroundings, my world honestly for the first time."

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]“我自己的世界陷入了谷底,”埃莉诺向一位朋友吐露道,“我第一次诚实地面对自己、我的周围环境和我的世界。”

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: Eleanor's immediate response was not only to confront Franklin, but, from what we seem to understand, to offer him a divorce -- "If this is what you want, go."

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温,传记作者:埃莉诺的立即反应不仅是与富兰克林对峙,而且据我们所知,向他提出离婚——“如果这是你想要的,那就走吧。”

Edna Gurewitsch, Roosevelt Family Friend: Mr. Roosevelt knew that his mother would withdraw all financial help -- she'd threatened him with that -- he would lose his family life and it really meant giving up his political ambitions, and that was something he had to think over more than once.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]“在每个人都发表了自己的意见后,”詹姆斯后来写道,“父亲和母亲坐下来,为了面子而同意继续下去。”埃莉诺和富兰克林住在一起,但再也没有过亲密的婚姻生活。

David McCullough: [voice-over] The surprise of the 1920 Democratic Convention was the nomination for vice president.

大卫·麦卡洛 (David McCullough):[画外音] 1920 年民主党代表大会的令人惊讶之处在于副总统的提名。

"The young man I am going to suggest," the speaker said, "has a name to be conjured within American politics." Franklin Delano Roosevelt was 38, one of the youngest vice presidential candidates in American history.

“我要推荐的这个年轻人,”演讲者说,“他的名字在美国政坛中广为人知。”富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福现年 38 岁,是美国历史上最年轻的副总统候选人之一。

副总统候选人通常会进行温和的竞选活动,但富兰克林却在 18 天内穿越 20 个州,行驶了 8,000 多英里。

Franklin pressed Eleanor to accompany him on the campaign.

Reluctantly she went along and hated every minute of it -- the smoke-filled rooms, the late-night card games, the hard-drinking politicians and reporters.

她不情愿地跟着去,讨厌这里的每一分钟——烟雾缭绕的房间、深夜的纸牌游戏、酗酒的政客和记者。

Ever since her discovery of her husband's affair, she'd been cautiously embracing a life of her own.

自从发现丈夫的外遇以来,她一直小心翼翼地拥抱自己的生活。

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: Before Lucy came into their lives, my own sense is that Eleanor was not happy simply as a wife and a mother, but she had no outlet for her energy.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温,传记作者:在露西进入他们的生活之前,我个人的感觉是,埃莉诺仅仅作为妻子和母亲并不幸福,但她没有发泄自己的能量。

她精力充沛,却无处发泄,因为在那个时代,女人外出谋生是不合法的。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: The affair with Lucy Mercer enabled her to see herself in perhaps a different light, and I personally believe that F.D.R.'s affair with Lucy Mercer enabled my grandmother to open a door and walk out.

Edna Gurewitsch, Roosevelt Family Friend: They were women who knew things, who could educate her, who could teach her parliamentary law, who could tell her about the labor movement, labor unions and so on.

1920 年,女性在第一次全国选举中投票,而富兰克林从不错过任何一个政治节奏,热切地争取她们的选票。

“我试图说服自己,我的腿的问题是肌肉问题,”富兰克林回忆道,“当我使用它时,它就会消失,但很快它就不起作用了,然后是另一个。”

Hugh Gallagher, Biographer: It started with a cold, the feeling of malaise, ache in the back and lack of appetite and he said he thought he wouldn't have dinner and he went up to his room, and he never walked again, and ultimately, at the high point, he was helpless.

休·加拉格尔(Hugh Gallagher),传记作者:一开始是感冒、不适、背部疼痛和食欲不振,他说他认为自己不会吃晚饭,然后他就回到自己的房间,再也没有走路过,最终,在高峰时,他感到无助。

他告诉他们,诊断结果非常明确——小儿麻痹症、脊髓灰质炎。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: He couldn't believe this had happened to him, but even in those circumstances, he kept to the Roosevelt code, which was that you did not complain and that you tried to convince everyone that everything was going to be fine.

杰弗里·沃德,传记作者:他不敢相信这件事发生在他身上,但即使在这种情况下,他也遵守罗斯福准则,那就是你不抱怨,并且试图让每个人相信一切都会好起来的。

He was very careful to be cheerful in front of his mother, and she was very careful to be cheerful in front of him, and only after she left him did she cry.

Something like 25 percent of people who caught polio died of it within the first two weeks.

If you survived and you had paralysis, they didn't know what to do, and "nice" families kept their disabled members at home in the back bedroom with the blinds drawn.

There was a certain shame attached to it somehow.

她必须直接面对莎拉,告诉她:“你错了,我不会让这种事发生。

He's going to be able to get out of this house, he's going to walk again, he's going to get into politics, and I don't care what you say." She may not have said it that boldly, but she definitely was willing to make a major confrontation with her mother-in-law that all of her earlier life she had been unable to make.

他将能够离开这个房子,他将再次行走,他将涉足政坛,我不在乎你说什么。”她或许没有说得那么大胆,但她绝对愿意和婆婆进行一场她前世都无法做到的大对决。

Edna Gurewitsch, Roosevelt Family Friend: She had a discipline and a willpower that was staggering.

She said to me once, "The only time in my life that I cried in his presence when he had polio was when he called us up into the room and he showed us -- 'Look,' he said, 'what I can do.'" He was phobic about being caught in a fire, helpless in a fire.

她有一次对我说:“我一生中唯一一次当他患有小儿麻痹症时,我在他面前哭泣,是当他把我们叫到房间里,他向我们展示——‘看,’他说,‘我能做什么。’”他害怕陷入火中,在火中无助。

He got himself down from the bed and he showed them with great pride how he slithered on the floor, using his elbows to get to the door.

With heavy steel braces grappled to his legs, he began the awkward struggle to learn to walk.

他们占用了无尽的时间。

And I think it's a measure of his ambition and his grit that he kept at them as long and as hard as he did.

David McCullough: [voice-over] After a year of unrelenting struggle, the doctors told Franklin it was all but certain that he would never walk again, but he would not accept their verdict.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]经过一年的不懈挣扎,医生告诉富兰克林,几乎可以肯定他永远不会再走路了,但他不会接受他们的裁决。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: The rules that applied to other people did not apply to Franklin Roosevelt, and he refused to believe that he was not going to get better.

传记作者杰弗里·沃德:适用于其他人的规则不适用于富兰克林·罗斯福,他拒绝相信自己不会好转。

He tried everything -- sunlamp treatments -- special electric belts that were supposed to make him somehow stronger -- pulley arrangements to do his exercises automatically.

他尝试了一切——日光治疗——特殊的电腰带,应该能让他在某种程度上变得更强壮——滑轮装置来自动进行练习。

Hugh Gallagher, Biographer: Deep massage, light massage, range-of-motion exercises -- and sometimes they hung him on a harness from the ceiling.

传记作者休·加拉格尔(Hugh Gallagher):深度按摩、轻度按摩、活动范围练习——有时他们将他挂在天花板上的安全带上。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: And even in the last weeks of his life, he was trying a new method to see if he couldn't get back on his feet.

传记作家杰弗里·沃德:即使在他生命的最后几周,他也在尝试一种新方法,看看他是否能重新站起来。

Eleanor said he simply didn't accept his paralysis and he didn't talk about it and he wouldn't admit it.

埃莉诺说他根本不接受自己瘫痪的事实,他没有谈论这件事,他也不会承认这一点。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: I suppose psychologists might call it denial.

传记作家杰弗里·沃德:我想心理学家可能会称之为否认。

It certainly served him well and allowed him to become President of the United States instead of a stamp-collecting invalid.

这当然对他很有好处,让他成为美国总统,而不是一个集邮残疾人。

Hugh Gallagher, Biographer: Of course it's denial.

传记作者休·加拉格尔:当然是否认。

It worked, and denial's a very useful thing in its place.

它奏效了,而否认是一件非常有用的事情。

I mean, it's a way of coming to terms with a difficult fact.

我的意思是,这是接受困难事实的一种方式。

David McCullough: [voice-over] In 1924, Franklin bought a run-down houseboat he named The Larooco , and headed south.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 1924 年,富兰克林买了一艘破旧的船屋,将其命名为“拉鲁科”,然后向南航行。

He was running away.

他正在逃跑。

Drifting lazily off the coast of Florida -- swimming, fishing, cavorting with his friends -- he filled his days with aimless good times.

他在佛罗里达海岸慵懒地漂流——游泳、钓鱼、和朋友们嬉戏——他的日子充满了漫无目的的美好时光。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: He was there partly to exercise and get the sun, which he thought was going to help him -- but he was also there because life at home with five children and his mother and his wife fighting over him was unbearable.

杰弗里·沃德,传记作家:他去那里的部分原因是锻炼身体和晒太阳,他认为这会对他有帮助,但他去那里也是因为家里有五个孩子,他的母亲和妻子为他争吵,生活令人难以忍受。

Hugh Gallagher, Biographer: These were very grim years for him, for the family.

传记作家休·加拉格尔:对于他和他的家庭来说,这些都是非常严峻的岁月。

I think that the guy was dealing with depression.

There's a great deal of anger, a great deal of grieving, a great deal of frustration that comes with paralysis -- extensive, severe, serious paralysis -- and this is very hard stuff to deal with.

瘫痪会带来大量的愤怒、悲伤和沮丧——广泛的、严重的、严重的瘫痪——这是非常难以处理的事情。

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: And he couldn't express that despair and that sadness around Eleanor, certainly not around his mother, nor around the kids, so I think he went to The Larooco originally because it allowed him a haven to be able to be sad, to mourn the loss of the body that once been his, and I think it took longer than he thought.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温(Doris Kearns Goodwin),传记作家:他无法表达埃莉诺周围的绝望和悲伤,当然不是他的母亲,也不是孩子们,所以我认为他最初去拉鲁科是因为它让他有一个避难所,可以悲伤,哀悼失去曾经属于他的身体,我认为这比他想象的要花更长的时间。

David McCullough: [voice-over] "There were days on The Larooco ," one friend remembered, "when it was noon before he could pull himself out of depression and greet his guests, wearing his light-hearted facade." "Polio was a storm," one of his physiotherapists said, "You were what remained when it had passed." His son James later wrote, "These were the lonely years.

大卫·麦卡洛(David McCullough):[画外音]“在拉鲁科酒店,有几天,”一位朋友回忆道,“到了中午,他才从抑郁中走出来,以轻松愉快的外表迎接客人。” “小儿麻痹症就像一场风暴,”他的一位物理治疗师说,“当它过去后,你就是剩下的人。”他的儿子詹姆斯后来写道:“这是孤独的岁月。

We had no tangible father, no father whom we could touch and talk to, only a cheery letter-writer." With Franklin gone and the children away at school or grown up, politics was becoming an increasingly important part of Eleanor's life.

我们没有实体的父亲,没有可以触摸和交谈的父亲,只有一个快乐的写信人。”随着富兰克林去世,孩子们离开学校或长大,政治正成为埃莉诺生活中越来越重要的一部分。

Louis Howe convinced her that it was up to her to keep Franklin's name alive.

路易斯·豪让她相信,要让富兰克林的名声永垂不朽,就靠她了。

If Eleanor had not stepped forward, Franklin's political career might well have been over.

如果埃莉诺没有挺身而出,富兰克林的政治生涯很可能就结束了。

Eleanor Roosevelt: Louis Howe decided that I better go in the women's division of the state political set-up in New York and I must be able to speak.

埃莉诺·罗斯福:路易斯·豪决定我最好进入纽约州政治机构的妇女部门,我必须能够发言。

And so, Louis Howe used to go with me to meetings and sit in the back and make fun of me afterwards.

因此,路易斯·豪常常和我一起去参加会议,然后坐在后面取笑我。

Blanche Wiesen Cook, Eleanor Roosevelt Biographer: Louis Howe is absolutely central to Eleanor Roosevelt's political education.

布兰奇·维森·库克,埃莉诺·罗斯福传记作者:路易·豪绝对是埃莉诺·罗斯福政治教育的核心。

He monitors her every word.

她在回忆录中说,她所做的一切都是为了罗斯福,但事实是她热爱其中的每一分钟。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: I think she was profoundly impressed and believed in her heart that helping other people, enabling other people -- particularly when you were in a position of privilege -- was the way she wished to conduct her life.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:我想她对此印象深刻,并坚信帮助他人、帮助他人——尤其是当你处于特权地位时——是她希望的生活方式。

He invited her very many times to come down, but he was with the friends whom she didn't especially care for -- the congenial friends, the friends from the Lucy Mercer days, the people who liked to live on a houseboat and swim and drink -- and he was with Missy LeHand.

他多次邀请她下来,但他和她并不特别关心的朋友在一起——那些志趣相投的朋友,露西·默瑟时代的朋友,那些喜欢住在船屋里游泳和喝酒的人——而他和米西·勒汉德在一起。

David McCullough: [voice-over] "Missy" was Marguerite LeHand, Franklin's secretary -- unmarried, Catholic, high school educated, many years younger.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]“小姐”是富兰克林的秘书玛格丽特·勒汉德——未婚,天主教徒,受过高中教育,比她年轻很多。

但我只是称它为油腻之地,我想他们以罗斯福先生的名字将其命名为佐治亚州沃姆斯普林斯——大约是在他开始来这里的时候。

David McCullough: [voice-over] On the outskirts of town, there stood a once-lovely vacation resort, a favored retreat for wealthy southerners.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]在城镇的郊区,有一个曾经美丽的度假胜地,是富裕的南方人最喜欢的度假胜地。

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]富兰克林投资 195,000 美元——占他个人财产的三分之二——创建并设计了美国第一个现代小儿麻痹症治疗中心。

Go beyond like -- they loved him.

超越——他们爱他。

Eleanor Roosevelt: I don't think he changed completely -- there were certain things that were always there -- but he certainly learned to understand what suffering meant in a way that he'd never known before, because he could understand how people could suffer in ways that he had not experienced.

埃莉诺·罗斯福:我不认为他完全改变了——有些事情一直存在——但他确实学会了以一种他以前从未了解过的方式理解痛苦意味着什么,因为他可以理解人们如何以他从未经历过的方式遭受痛苦。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Throughout his long struggle with polio, Franklin remained determined to return to politics, but he knew he would have to convince voters that he was not an invalid, and year after year of arduous exercise had not improved his wasted leg muscles.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]在与小儿麻痹症的长期斗争中,富兰克林仍然决心重返政坛,但他知道他必须让选民相信他不是一个病人,年复一年的艰苦锻炼并没有改善他消瘦的腿部肌肉。

Hugh Gallagher, Biographer: He wanted to be President and it was just unthinkable in those days that a person in a wheelchair could be elected President of the of the United States, and in fact it's pretty unthinkable right now.

传记作者休·加拉格尔:他想当总统,在那个年代,一个坐在轮椅上的人能当选美国总统是不可想象的,事实上现在也是不可想象的。

And so he had to walk.

所以他必须步行。

And since he wasn't getting better, he developed better techniques for appearing to look better.

由于他的病情没有好转,他开发了更好的技巧来让自己看起来更好。

David McCullough: [voice-over] In 1926, physiotherapist Alice Converse taught Franklin how to walk more effectively with crutches.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 1926 年,物理治疗师爱丽丝·康弗斯教富兰克林如何使用拐杖更有效地行走。

He would plant the crutches on the floor so hard you would think that the boards would break, and then drag himself along.

他会把拐杖放在地板上,用力得让木板都碎了,然后拖着自己走。

It had been five years since the onset of polio.

小儿麻痹症发病已有五年了。

His upper body was very strong, but his legs were pretty weak, so we tried to get him to use his body muscles in such a way that they would help lift up a leg at a time and take a step.

他的上半身非常强壮,但他的腿却很虚弱,所以我们试图让他利用身体的肌肉,帮助他一次抬起一条腿,迈出一步。

David McCullough: [voice-over] But crutches weren't good enough.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]但是拐杖还不够好。

He knew they were political poison.

They would, he said, inspire pity.

他说,它们会引起怜悯。

He learned instead to appear in public with a cane.

相反,他学会了拄着拐杖出现在公共场合。

Hugh Gallagher, Biographer: And he developed this technique that looked like walking.

休·加拉格尔(Hugh Gallagher),传记作者:他开发了这种看起来像走路的技术。

His sons were strong men -- they took exercises so their arms would be as strong as a parallel bar -- and he would lean on one son's arm, putting all his weight on it, and then he would switch his weight from the son's arm onto a cane which he carried in the other hand so that he could switch his weight from side to side and thus progress.

他的儿子们都是强壮的人——他们锻炼身体,让他们的手臂像双杠一样强壮——他会靠在一个儿子的手臂上,把所有的重量都放在上面,然后他会把自己的重量从儿子的手臂上转移到他另一只手拿着的拐杖上,这样他就可以把自己的重量从一边转移到另一边,从而进步。

And he instructed his sons, "You must not let people see that this is difficult or takes effort or it hurts." They would chat and joke and laugh as they went along -- it was a slow process -- but they looked as though they were taking their time so they could smile at people and say hello to the crowd as they went along.

他指示他的儿子们:“你不能让人们看到这很困难、需要付出努力或很痛苦。”他们一边走一边聊天、开玩笑、大笑——这是一个缓慢的过程——但他们看起来好像在慢慢地走,这样他们就可以一边走一边向人们微笑并向人群打招呼。

And it was show biz, but it worked.

那是演艺界,但它确实有效。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Only four seconds of film exist which clearly show the walk Franklin so tirelessly practiced.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 只有四秒钟的影片清楚地展示了富兰克林如此不知疲倦地练习的行走方式。

Geoffrey Ward, Biographer: The goal, really, was simply to take enough steps to get from a car into a building, or from his seat on the stage to the podium and back again.

杰弗里·沃德,传记作家:实际上,我们的目标只是采取足够的步骤从汽车进入建筑物,或者从舞台上的座位到讲台然后再返回。

If he could do that without seeming hopelessly crippled, he'd succeeded.

如果他能做到这一点而不显得毫无希望地残疾,那么他就成功了。

Hugh Gallagher, Biographer: Roosevelt had no hip muscles, and if a breeze, or someone should jostle him, something like that, he could just pivot and fall down.

传记作者休·加拉格尔:罗斯福没有臀部肌肉,如果微风吹过,或者有人推挤他,诸如此类的事情,他可能会旋转并摔倒。

He was not stable at all.

他根本就不稳定。

It was not a safe way of locomotion, of moving around.

这不是一种安全的移动方式。

It was not a practical way, but it was a political way.

这不是一种实际的方式,而是一种政治的方式。

David McCullough: [voice-over] By the summer of 1928, Franklin was ready at last to make his way back into the political world.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 1928 年夏天,富兰克林终于准备好重返政坛。

The Democratic Convention was in Houston and Eleanor had written him, "I'm telling everyone you're going to Houston without crutches." As he boarded the train for Texas, he knew he was about to risk everything.

民主党全国代表大会在休斯敦举行,埃莉诺写信给他,“我告诉大家,你要去休斯敦时不用拐杖。”当他登上开往德克萨斯州的火车时,他知道自己将冒着一切风险。

All through the 1920s, Franklin had kept up his contacts with Democratic Party leaders.

整个 20 年代,富兰克林一直与民主党领导人保持联系。

Now he'd been asked to nominate the governor of New York, Al Smith, for president.

现在他被要求提名纽约州州长阿尔·史密斯竞选总统。

Smith was a tough, worldly Catholic from New York City, and one of his advisors argued, "You're a Bowery mick and he's a Protestant patrician.

史密斯是一位来自纽约市的坚强、世俗的天主教徒,他的一位顾问辩称:“你是包厘街的混蛋,而他是新教贵族。

He'll take some of the curse off you."

他会为你解除一些诅咒。”

With 15,000 delegates watching, Franklin set out to walk to the podium with a cane, without the aid of crutches.

在 15,000 名代表的注视下,富兰克林开始拄着拐杖走上讲台,没有拐杖的帮助。

An accidental fall would leave him sprawled helplessly on the convention floor, his political hopes destroyed.

一次意外的摔倒会让他无助地躺在会议地板上,他的政治希望破灭了。

With one hand he gripped the cane.

他用一只手握住手杖。

With the other, he balanced precariously on his son Elliott's powerful arm.

他用另一只手在儿子埃利奥特有力的手臂上摇摇欲坠地保持着平衡。

He appeared to be walking.

他看上去正在走路。

One reporter described the scene: "Here on the stage is Franklin Roosevelt, a figure tall and proud even in suffering, pale with years of struggle against paralysis, a man softened and cleansed and illumined with pain.

一位记者描述了当时的场景:“舞台上的是富兰克林·罗斯福,他的身材高大而自豪,即使在痛苦中,他因多年与瘫痪的斗争而脸色苍白,一个因痛苦而变得柔软、洁净、明亮的人。

For the moment we are lifted up."

目前我们已经振作起来了。”

Franklin D.

Roosevelt: We offer one who has the will to win, who not only deserves success, but commands it.

史密斯.

David McCullough: [voice-over] The nomination was Al Smith's but the victory belonged to Franklin Roosevelt.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]提名是阿尔·史密斯的,但胜利属于富兰克林·罗斯福。

When Smith urged him to run for governor of New York, Roosevelt said he was ready.

当史密斯敦促他竞选纽约州州长时,罗斯福说他已经准备好了。

Someone asked Smith why he'd put Roosevelt back in the political limelight.

有人问史密斯为什么要让罗斯福重新回到政治聚光灯下。

"Aren't you raising up a rival who will one day cause you trouble?" "No," Smith replied, "he'll be dead within a year." Six months later, Smith had lost his run for the presidency and Roosevelt was governor of New York.

“你这不是培养了一个有朝一日会给你带来麻烦的对手吗?” “不,”史密斯回答道,“他会在一年内去世。”六个月后,史密斯在总统竞选中落败,罗斯福成为纽约州州长。

Roosevelt won office by the slimmest of margins, campaigning more vigorously than anyone expected.

罗斯福以微弱优势赢得大选,竞选活动比任何人预期的都更加积极。

Now, as governor, he would continue to surprise everyone.

现在,作为州长,他将继续给大家带来惊喜。

In his first six months, he advocated tax relief for farmers and cheap electric power for consumers, but when disaster suddenly struck the economy, no one was sure what Roosevelt would do.

在上任的头六个月里,他主张为农民减税,为消费者提供廉价电力,但当灾难突然袭击经济时,没有人确定罗斯福会做什么。

On October 24, 1929, the stock market crashed.

It was the beginning of the worst calamity the United States economy had ever known.

Banks closed, millions were put out of work.

银行关闭,数百万人失业。

Homeless people were soon camping just a few blocks from the townhouse Sarah Roosevelt had built for Franklin and his bride years before.

David McCullough: [voice-over] Since the start of the Depression, the Republican President, Herbert Hoover, had settled into a dismal pessimism.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]自大萧条开始以来,共和党总统赫伯特·胡佛就陷入了悲观的悲观情绪中。

After one gloomy White House meeting, his secretary of state said, "It was like sitting in a bath of ink to sit in his room." Hoover believed there was nothing he could do to turn the economy around.

在一次令人沮丧的白宫会议后,他的国务卿说:“坐在他的房间里就像坐在墨水浴中一样。”胡佛认为他无能为力来扭转经济。

The crisis would have to resolve itself without the aid of government.

At first, Roosevelt agreed with Hoover.

起初,罗斯福同意胡佛的观点。

But as the crisis deepened, Roosevelt began to change.

他一生都相信救济应该来自私人慈善机构,但面对大萧条的问题,他坚信只有大规模的政府干预才能有所帮助。

For the first time, Roosevelt began to experiment with bold new ideas -- assistance for the aged and the country's first program to provide relief for the unemployed.

罗斯福第一次开始尝试大胆的新想法——援助老年人和该国第一个为失业者提供救济的计划。

"The important thing," he told the New York State Assembly, "is to recognize that there is a duty on the part of government to do something about this."

他对纽约州议会说:“重要的是要认识到政府有责任对此采取行动。”

In 1932, President Hoover invited the nation's governors to a White House dinner.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]如果这是罗斯福总统任期的结束,他留下的记录将会好坏参半。

“这次访问是经过精心准备的,”埃莉诺后来写道,“但富兰克林总是表现得好像我们只是有两个非常好的年轻人和我们住在一起。”

Geoffery Ward, Biographer: American Indians were asked to dance as the entertainment.

He sat up with the King quite late at night, whom he called "George," and finally put his hand on his knee and said, "Young man, it's time for you to go to bed." And the King later said to one of his aides, "Why don't my ministers talk to me that way?"

David McCullough: [voice-over] Roosevelt proposed a daring plan with an innocuous name, lend-lease.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]罗斯福提出了一项大胆的计划,它的名字无伤大雅:租借。

Robert Dallek, Historian: Lend-lease was a way to give the British planes, tanks, guns, artillery, ammunition without them really paying for it.

历史学家罗伯特·达莱克:租借法案是一种向英国提供飞机、坦克、枪支、大炮和弹药的方式,而英国却无需真正支付费用。

And reporters at a press conference asked him, "What does this mean?

新闻发布会上,记者问他:“这是什么意思?

What does lend-lease mean?"

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]罗斯福解释说,我们将“借给”英国武器,战争结束后,英国将归还这些武器。

It was like lending a neighbor a garden hose to put out a fire, he said.

After the fire was out, the neighbor would simply return the hose.

火被扑灭后,邻居只需归还软管即可。

Robert Dallek, Historian: Well, of course, it was patent nonsense.

历史学家罗伯特·达莱克:嗯,当然,这显然是无稽之谈。

What were the British going to do, give us the tanks back that were blown up, the planes that were shot down?

英国人要做什么,把被炸毁的坦克、被击落的飞机还给我们?

But Roosevelt's invocation of this homily about the neighbor and garden hose is a wonderful way for him to sell it to the public, and that was his political genius.

但罗斯福援引有关邻居和花园软管的说教是他向公众推销这一点的绝佳方式,这就是他的政治天才。

That was something that he had a kind of sixth sense for.

这是他有第六感的事情。

You can't understand it, you can't define it, you can't put it under any scientific rubric.

你无法理解它,你无法定义它,你无法将它置于任何科学标题之下。

It simply was something that the man had.

这只是这个男人所拥有的东西。

David McCullough: [voice-over] On March 11, 1941, Congress passed and Roosevelt signed into law lend-lease.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 1941 年 3 月 11 日,国会通过并由罗斯福签署了租借法案。

This morning he'd signed the lend-lease bill.

今天早上他签署了租借法案。

A reporter said, "Mr. President, have you got ships and material and tanks and things?

一名记者问道:“总统先生,你有船只、物资、坦克之类的东西吗?

Are they already -- you know, left the ports and crossing the Atlantic?" Well, my British supply man had told me that there were cargoes just about to arrive in Liverpool and Southampton.

他们已经——你知道吗,离开港口横渡大西洋了吗?”嗯,我的英国供应人员告诉我,有货物即将抵达利物浦和南安普顿。

And Roosevelt looked up like an innocent child and he said, "Oh," he said, "we work fast but not that fast." And of course, it was -- I mean, if they'd known the truth, you know, the whole Atlantic was thick with all the things already on their way.

罗斯福像个天真的孩子一样抬起头来,说道:“哦,”他说,“我们工作得很快,但没那么快。”当然,我的意思是,如果他们知道真相,你知道,整个大西洋都挤满了已经在路上的东西。

David McCullough: [voice-over] The lend-lease lifeline stretched across the Atlantic.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 租借的生命线横跨大西洋。

Roosevelt had bent the law, outflanked Congress and provided England with billions of dollars' worth of weapons and supplies, but as the great armada reached Britain's shores, opposition remained strong back in America.

罗斯福歪曲了法律,包抄了国会,并向英国提供了价值数十亿美元的武器和补给,但当这支庞大的无敌舰队抵达英国海岸时,美国国内的反对依然强烈。

查尔斯·林德伯格(Charles Lindbergh):我说,当他们要求我们采取80%以上公民反对的方针时,他们就是在破坏民主原则。

David McCullough: [voice-over] In fact, Lindbergh exaggerated, yet the American people were deeply divided, and Roosevelt, sending their indecision, was stymied.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]事实上,林德伯格言过其实,但美国人民却存在严重分歧,而罗斯福则因犹豫不决而陷入困境。

"It's a terrible thing," he later told an aide, "to look over your shoulder when you're trying to lead and to find no one there."

“这是一件可怕的事情,”他后来告诉一名助手,“当你试图领导时,却发现身后无人。”

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: The spring of '41 seems like one of the lowest points for Roosevelt.

传记作者多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温 (Doris Kearns Goodwin):41 年春天似乎是罗斯福的最低谷之一。

Public opinion itself is so incredibly confused and when public opinion was confused, Roosevelt himself lost his moorings.

公众舆论本身就非常混乱,而当公众舆论混乱时,罗斯福本人就失去了立足点。

His genius was that he somehow could divine where the country was and help push it along, maybe a little ahead of itself, but he saw where the country was heading.

他的天才在于,他能以某种方式预测出这个国家的位置,并帮助推动它前进,也许有点超前,但他看到了这个国家的发展方向。

In this period of time, the country seemed to be in such a maze of contradictions that he looked out almost as if he were staring into a fog himself.

这段时间,这个国家似乎陷入了一个矛盾的迷宫,他自己看起来就像是在迷雾中一样。

No one had fought harder for her husband's New Deal, but now his priorities had changed.

When she comes back from her travels around the country, he doesn't really have time to talk to her anymore.

当她从全国各地旅行回来时,他真的没有时间再和她说话了。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: My grandmother felt herself a little bit off to the side, less useful, with less reason to go and be with him as she always was early in the morning or at the end of the day.

So this relationship from which she drew strength and a position no longer existed.

David McCullough: [voice-over] All through 1941, the pressures on Roosevelt mounted.

On one side of the globe, Japan threatened to spread its empire throughout the Pacific.

"They hate us," Roosevelt said, "Sooner or later, they'll come after us." And across the Atlantic, Roosevelt increasingly feared for Great Britain's survival.

“他们恨我们,”罗斯福说,“他们迟早会来追杀我们的。”在大西洋彼岸,罗斯福越来越担心英国的生存。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: Some people think that this great master politician was always on top of things, but he had to move in relation to public opinion and it was a major thing.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:有些人认为这位伟大的政治家总是掌控一切,但他必须根据公众舆论采取行动,这是一件大事。

It really got to him.

这确实对他产生了影响。

He went to bed for 10 days out of exasperation from the pressures on both sides to intervene or not to intervene, and Britain was going down the tube.

由于双方干预或不干预的压力,他在愤怒中卧床了十天,而英国正在走下坡路。

David McCullough: [voice-over] "If Great Britain goes down," Roosevelt said, "all of us in all the Americas would be living at the point of a gun."

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]“如果英国垮台,”罗斯福说,“我们美洲所有人都将生活在枪口下。”

Then, in early August, determined to do more for the British, Roosevelt headed out to sea for a secret rendezvous in U-boat-infested waters.

然后,在八月初,罗斯福决心为英国做更多的事情,他出海在潜艇出没的水域进行秘密会合。

在夜色的掩护下,他避开记者,登上一艘美国军舰,向北与英国战舰威尔士亲王号会合。

It was perfectly clear to my father, perhaps also to the President, that of course it did matter very much whether they would see eye to eye.

我父亲(或许总统也可能)非常清楚,他们是否意见一致确实非常重要。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Churchill, his bodyguard later reported, "was as excited as a schoolboy." At stake, the prime minister believed, was the fate of western civilization.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]丘吉尔的保镖后来报告说,“他像个小学生一样兴奋。”首相认为,西方文明的命运岌岌可危。

The President was also on edge.

总统也很紧张。

He was not used to sharing the stage with any man, and Churchill was already a legend.

他不习惯与任何男人同台,而丘吉尔已经是一个传奇了。

A Roosevelt aide who knew both men worried about a clash of prima donnas.

罗斯福的一位助手认识两人,担心两人的外表会发生冲突。

With the Navy band playing "The Stars and Stripes Forever," Churchill came aboard the American ship.

随着海军乐队演奏《星条旗永远》,丘吉尔登上了美国舰艇。

"At last," Roosevelt said, "we've gotten together."

罗斯福说:“我们终于在一起了。”

They talked for four days, two titanic egos, each taking the other's measure.

他们聊了四天,两个人都极其自负,互相衡量着对方。

Churchill was determined to bind the Americans ever more firmly to the British cause.

丘吉尔决心让美国人更加坚定地与英国的事业联系在一起。

Roosevelt was wary.

罗斯福很谨慎。

He was unwilling to ask Congress for a declaration of war without the rock-solid support of the American people, but he was searching for some way to help Great Britain before it was too late.

如果没有美国人民坚定的支持,他不愿意要求国会宣战,但他正在寻找某种方法来帮助英国,以免为时已晚。

Robert Dallek, Historian: What Churchill needed to do was to convince Roosevelt that Britain was not going to give up, and what Roosevelt was saying to Churchill was, "I understand what your needs are, I understand the importance of the danger to us, both of us, from Adolf Hitler, and we're going to stand together against this monster."

历史学家罗伯特·达莱克:丘吉尔需要做的是让罗斯福相信英国不会放弃,罗斯福对丘吉尔说的是,“我理解你的需求是什么,我理解阿道夫·希特勒对我们俩的危险的重要性,我们将团结起来对抗这个怪物。”

David McCullough: [voice-over] On Sunday, Roosevelt was carried onboard the British battleship for a morning service.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]周日,罗斯福被抬上英国战舰参加晨间仪式。

"If nothing else had happened while we were here," Roosevelt told an aide, "that joint service would have cemented us."

罗斯福对一名助手说:“如果我们在这里期间没有发生任何其他事情,那么联合服役就会让我们更加团结。”

Lady Mary Soames, Winston Churchill's Daughter: All the ships' companies all mixed up and sharing the hymn sheets and everything, and it really did seem rather wonderful and very moving.

温斯顿·丘吉尔的女儿玛丽·索姆斯女士:所有的船员都混合在一起并分享赞美诗和所有东西,这确实看起来相当美妙且非常感人。

My father sat with the President.

我父亲和总统坐在一起。

I mean, normally he would have stood during such a service, but he and the President sat and everybody else stood on the quarterdeck.

我的意思是,通常他会在这样的仪式上站着,但他和总统坐着,其他人都站在尾甲板上。

My father chose the hymns very carefully -- his favorites.

David McCullough: [voice-over] "The same language, the same hymns," Churchill said later, "It was a great hour to live."

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]“同样的语言,同样的赞美诗,”丘吉尔后来说,“这是一个美好的时刻。”

温斯顿·丘吉尔的女儿玛丽·索姆斯夫人:这有点像一束灿烂的阳光,像一束真正的希望之光。

And of course, now it's, I find, anguishing looking at those photographs because three months later, the Prince of Wales was under the waves with its entire ship's company.

当然,我发现,现在看着这些照片令人痛苦,因为三个月后,威尔士亲王号和整艘船都被淹没在海浪之下。

David McCullough: [voice-over] As the two men parted, a message flashed from the British battleship to the American cruiser: "God bless the President and the people of the United States."

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]当两人分开时,一条信息从英国战列舰闪到美国巡洋舰:“上帝保佑美国总统和人民。”

当丘吉尔返回英国时,他告诉内阁,罗斯福曾秘密承诺,他将对纳粹德国发动战争,但不会宣战。

罗斯福将在北大西洋寒冷的海水中发现他的事件。

By the middle of 1941, Nazi U-boats had sunk over 1,500 British ships, all but cutting England's lifeline to America.

到 1941 年中期,纳粹 U 型潜艇击沉了 1,500 多艘英国船只,几乎切断了英国通往美国的生命线。

Without telling the American people, Roosevelt issued secret orders to the Navy to escort British convoys and, if necessary, sink Nazi submarines.

The President was willing to risk war with Germany.

罗斯福:我告诉你一个直白的事实,德国潜艇首先向这艘美国驱逐舰格里尔号开火,没有任何警告,并且是故意设计击沉她的。

历史学家罗伯特·达莱克:他向美国公众隐瞒的事实是,格里尔号一直在跟踪德国潜艇,以帮助一架英国水上飞机试图用深水炸弹将其击沉。

David McCullough: [voice-over] Roosevelt knew that the Greer had deliberately stalked the Nazi U-boat and that the British plane had fired first.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音]罗斯福知道格里尔号是故意跟踪纳粹潜艇的,而且是英国飞机先开火的。

"You know, I'm a juggler," he would later tell a friend, "and I never let my right hand know what my left hand does.

“你知道,我是一个杂耍演员,”他后来告诉一位朋友,“我从来不让我的右手知道我的左手在做什么。

I am perfectly willing to mislead and tell untruths if it will help win the war." Roosevelt did not ask congress for a declaration of war, but he used the Greer incident to justify an undeclared war in the Atlantic where he was sure the real war would soon begin.

如果这有助于赢得战争,我完全愿意误导和说谎。”罗斯福没有要求国会宣战,但他利用格里尔事件为大西洋上一场不宣而战的战争辩护,他确信真正的战争很快就会开始。

That same autumn, with her son at her side, the President's mother Sarah died.

阿利斯泰尔·库克(Alistair Cooke),记者:我们参加例行新闻发布会,总是在椭圆形办公室举行,所以我们都冲进去,惊讶地发现坐在他旁边椅子上的是这位圆滚滚、粉红色、粉红色的温斯顿·丘吉尔。

And there was one of those sort of indescribable, strange noises between a rustle and a gasp and eventually a cheer.

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: When Churchill came, it was like a cyclone that hit the White House.

So I think that once he established with Churchill this kind of crazy informal relationship, he knew that it was a good omen for their friendship.

所以我认为,一旦他与丘吉尔建立了这种疯狂的非正式关系,他就知道这是他们友谊的好兆头。

Lady Mary Soames, Winston Churchill's Daughter: One will never know whether they would have been friends if there hadn't been a war, but maybe it needed a great cause to bring them together, and maybe it was a marriage of convenience, but then a lot of marriages of convenience are very successful, aren't they?

温斯顿·丘吉尔的女儿玛丽·索姆斯夫人:人们永远不知道如果没有战争,他们是否会成为朋友,但也许需要一个伟大的事业才能让他们走到一起,也许这是一场权宜婚姻,但很多权宜婚姻都非常成功,不是吗?

David McCullough: [voice-over] By the end of the month, Roosevelt and Churchill had agreed to fight the Germans first, but in January 1942, the Nazis dominated most of Europe and the Allies were still far too weak to invade the continent.

大卫·麦卡洛:[画外音] 到月底,罗斯福和丘吉尔已同意首先与德国作战,但 1942 年 1 月,纳粹统治了欧洲大部分地区,而盟军的实力仍然太弱,无法入侵欧洲大陆。

Just two years earlier, American soldiers had been forced to train with cardboard weapons, firing flour instead of shells.

就在两年前,美国士兵还被迫使用纸板武器进行训练,用面粉代替炮弹。

Roosevelt had done all he could to build up the country's defenses, but he still had a long way to go.

罗斯福已竭尽全力加强国家防御,但仍有很长的路要走。

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Biographer: There aren't even private companies that are making very many weapons, so he's got to take companies that are making girdles, that are making cars, that are making all sorts of other things, and change over their production to making weapons for war.

多丽丝·卡恩斯·古德温(Doris Kearns Goodwin),传记作者:甚至没有私人公司在制造很多武器,所以他必须把那些制造腰带、制造汽车、制造各种其他东西的公司转变为制造战争武器。

英国人实际上是说:“我们做不到”——我们作为盟国——做不到。

"We don't have the landing craft, we don't have command of the air, we don't have control of the sea and '42 is just too soon." And Roosevelt's counter-argument was, "I have to show the American people that we're moving against Hitler.

“我们没有登陆艇,我们没有制空权,我们没有制海权,42 年还为时过早。”罗斯福的反驳是:“我必须向美国人民表明,我们正在反对希特勒。

于是露西来和罗斯福共进午餐。

It was a reminder to him of what it was like when he was young before his polio, what it was like before his body was giving way, as it now was because of his heart condition, and he just felt some need somehow to see her more often.

这让他想起了年轻时患小儿麻痹症之前的样子,想起了他的身体衰弱之前的样子,就像现在因为心脏病而出现的样子,而他只是觉得需要更经常地见到她。

And the only person he could trust with that terrible task of arranging Lucy's visits when Eleanor was away was his daughter Anna.

当埃莉诺不在时,他唯一可以信任的人是他的女儿安娜,他可以信任他的女儿安娜来承担安排露西来访的可怕任务。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: My mother realized that she was getting in perhaps over her head with a divided loyalty, because she certainly realized if she'd called up my grandmother and said, "Pa wants to invite Lucy Mercer for supper, okay?"-- she knew very well what the -- "What?" So it was done in secret.

柯蒂斯·罗斯福,孙子:我母亲意识到,她可能会因为忠诚度的分歧而陷入困境,因为她肯定意识到,如果她打电话给我祖母说:“爸爸想邀请露西·默瑟吃晚饭,好吗?”——她很清楚那是什么——“什么?”所以这是秘密进行的。

1944年和1945年,她来了六次,根据引座员的日记,罗斯福会去乔治城接她。

It would say in the diary, "President motors to Georgetown to pick up Mrs. Rutherford," which seems to me almost, again, a memory of a courtship.

日记里会写到,“总统开车去乔治敦接卢瑟福夫人”,在我看来,这几乎又是一次求爱的记忆。

No one has to pick up a person to come to the White House -- they will come on their own accord -- but I think he wanted to go and be in the car alone with her, bring her back to the White House.

没有人必须接一个人来白宫——他们会自愿来——但我想他想和她单独坐在车里,把她带回白宫。

And then I imagine it just as an easy dinner, they talked about the past, he told her what was going on during the day.

然后我想象这只是一顿简单的晚餐,他们谈论过去,他告诉她白天发生了什么。

Curtis Roosevelt, Grandson: It was just a kind of casual, funny conversation that F.D.R.
