Entire neighborhoods had sprung up near the Capitol, home to the multitudes who worked in the bulging government departments to the north of the Mall.

The breakneck growth had given Washington a ramshackle feel.
惊人的增长给华盛顿带来了摇摇欲坠的感觉。
The White House itself was falling apart: rugs covered holes in the floors, and at night the Garfields could hear rats scampering in the walls and under the floorboards.
白宫本身正在分崩离析：地毯覆盖了地板上的洞，晚上加菲猫可以听到老鼠在墙壁和地板下奔跑的声音。
Even worse was the marsh that bordered the residence's South Lawn, where the Potomac looped around the half-finished Washington monument.
更糟糕的是与住宅南草坪接壤的沼泽，波托马克河环绕着半完工的华盛顿纪念碑。
Raw sewage in the river coated the air with a heavy stench that was inescapable during the hot summer months.
河流中未经处理的污水使空气中弥漫着浓重的恶臭，在炎热的夏季里这是不可避免的。
But for the Garfields, the White House was the saving grace of the presidency.
但对于加菲猫来说，白宫是总统职位的救星。

They confirmed that she had malaria, a constant danger for those living near the Potomac swamps.

Lucretia was moved to a room on the north side of the house, to get her further from the river air.

Within a week Lucretia was hovering at the brink of death, and her husband had all but disappeared from public view.
不到一周，卢克丽霞就在死亡的边缘徘徊，而她的丈夫也几乎从公众视野中消失了。
James Garfield (Shuler Hensley, audio): : All my thoughts center on her.

Narrator: : Despite the deepening crisis in the White House, there was no letup in the war between Garfield and Roscoe Conkling.

The president had fired the opening shot soon after their White House meeting, when he appointed one of Conkling's bitterest enemies to head the Customs House.
总统在白宫会议后不久就打响了第一枪，任命康克林的死敌之一担任海关总署署长。
As Americans waited for word of the First Lady's condition, Conkling plotted his revenge, and the opposition press savaged Garfield.
当美国人等待第一夫人病情的消息时，康克林密谋报复，反对派媒体对加菲猫进行了猛烈攻击。
Chester Arthur (Adam LeFevre): : "The President of the United States has been making a use of his official powers which justifies his removal in disgrace from office."
切斯特·阿瑟（亚当·勒费弗尔饰）：“美国总统一直在利用他的官方权力，这证明他耻辱地被免职是合理的。”

切斯特·亚瑟（亚当·勒费弗饰）：时机不对——人们对第一夫人抱有很多同情……
Narrator: : Conkling resigned his seat in the U.S. Senate.
旁白：：康克林辞去美国参议院席位。
Garfield reacted to the news with a shrug.
加菲猫听到这个消息后耸耸肩。
It was, he wrote in his diary, "a very weak attempt at the heroic." If Conkling and Arthur felt that Garfield had betrayed them, so did Charles Guiteau.
他在日记中写道，这是“一次非常无力的英雄尝试”。如果康克林和亚瑟觉得加菲猫背叛了他们，那么查尔斯·吉托也这么认为。
In the middle of May, Garfield's close ally, Secretary of State James Blaine told Guiteau that he would never be the consul to Paris.
五月中旬，加菲猫的亲密盟友、国务卿詹姆斯·布莱恩告诉吉托，他永远不会担任驻巴黎领事。
Candice Millard, Author, Destiny of the Republic: : Guiteau is stunned, and he's furious, and he goes back to his little boarding house, and his little cot in that room, and he feverishly thinks about it, and thinks about it, and grows more and more angry.
坎迪斯·米勒德，《共和国的命运》作者：吉托惊呆了，他很愤怒，他回到了他的小寄宿处，还有那个房间里的小床，他狂热地想了又想，变得越来越生气。
And then he has, what he believes, is a divine inspiration.
然后他相信，这是一种神圣的灵感。
Nancy Tomes, Historian: : God says to Guiteau, "You need to kill the president." Or "remove him," as he said.
南希·汤姆斯，历史学家：：上帝对吉托说，“你需要杀死总统。”或者正如他所说，“把他除掉”。
"You've got to get rid of him and then you will be rewarded." And it's at that point he starts planning.
“你必须除掉他，然后你才会得到回报。”就在那时他开始计划。
Candice Millard, Author, Destiny of the Republic: : The first thought that Guiteau has is that he is going to be famous.
坎迪斯·米勒德 (Candice Millard)，《共和国的命运》作者： 吉托的第一个想法是他会出名。
So, he buys the fanciest gun he can afford because, he thinks well, you know, it's, of course, going to be in a museum some day.
所以，他买了一把他能买得起的最奇特的枪，因为，他想得很好，你知道，当然，有一天它会被放进博物馆。
And then he goes to the banks of the Potomac to practice, 'cause he's never even shot a gun before.
然后他去波托马克河岸练习，因为他以前从未开过枪。
Nancy Tomes, Historian: : Guiteau thinks, "Can this really be God talking to me?" And God just kept saying, "That's what you've got to do.
南希·汤姆斯（Nancy Tomes），历史学家：：吉托认为，“这真的是上帝在对我说话吗？”神只是一直说：“这就是你必须做的。
You've got to kill the president."
你必须杀死总统。”
You would think that after the Lincoln assassination, people would have decided that there should be guards around the president.
你可能会认为，林肯遇刺后，人们会决定总统周围应该有警卫。
Au contraire.

Very strong belief that, because the United States was a democracy, that if you didn't like your leaders, you would simply kick 'em out of office.
非常坚信，因为美国是一个民主国家，如果你不喜欢你的领导人，你就会把他们踢下台。
Assassination was unnecessary.

Todd Arrington, Garfield National Historic Site: : The Lincoln assassination in 1865 was viewed as really an anomaly.

Nobody gave much thought to the idea that a president could be assassinated outside of a context like the Civil War.
没有人认真考虑过总统可能在内战等背景之外被暗杀的想法。
So James Garfield can walk out of the White House and walk down the street by himself.
这样詹姆斯·加菲尔德就可以走出白宫，一个人走在街上了。
Narrator: : Guiteau had opportunities to strike.
旁白：：吉托有机会进攻。
Lucretia had finally recovered enough that the couple could be seen taking rides around the city.
卢克丽霞终于康复了，人们可以看到这对夫妇在城里兜风。
And when she was leaving Washington to convalesce at the New Jersey shore, Guiteau trailed her and James to the train station.
当她离开华盛顿前往新泽西海岸疗养时，吉托尾随她和詹姆斯来到火车站。
He had a clear shot, but was overcome with sympathy for the First Lady, and couldn't pull the trigger.
他射击得很准，但由于对第一夫人的同情而无法扣动扳机。
Candice Millard, Author, Destiny of the Republic: : Guiteau follows him everywhere.
坎迪斯·米勒德 (Candice Millard)，《共和国的命运》作者： 吉托随处跟随他。
He even follows him to church.
他甚至跟着他去教堂。

查尔斯·吉托（威尔·贾诺维茨，音频）：致美国人民：我想到了罢免总统的想法，因为事实证明他是造就他的人的叛徒。
This is not murder, it is a political necessity.
这不是谋杀，这是政治需要。
This will make my friend Arthur president, and save the Republic.
这将使我的朋友亚瑟成为总统，并拯救共和国。
I expect President Arthur and Senator Conkling will give the Nation the finest administration it has ever had.
我预计阿瑟总统和康克林参议员将为国家带来有史以来最好的政府。
Narrator: : By the beginning of July, Roscoe Conkling was in trouble.
旁白： ：到了七月初，罗斯科·康克林遇到了麻烦。
He had given up his Senate seat, but nothing had gone according to plan.
他放弃了参议院席位，但一切都没有按计划进行。
There was no tidal wave of support, and it looked like the New York Legislature might not vote him back to the Senate at all.
没有得到如潮的支持，纽约立法机关似乎根本不会投票让他重返参议院。
Chester Arthur (Adam LeFevre): : We don't have the votes.

I've played every angle...
各个角度我都玩过
Candice Millard, Author, Destiny of the Republic: : It was hubris.

He could resign and people would beg him to come back.
他可以辞职，人们会恳求他回来。
Narrator: : Three months into Garfield's presidency, Roscoe Conkling's political career was hanging by a thread.

Conkling's demise transformed the outlook for Garfield's presidency.
康克林的去世改变了加菲尔德总统任期的前景。
He had all but destroyed his most dangerous adversary.
他几乎消灭了他最危险的对手。
Now that he was in control of his own party, the president might realize the dream he had proclaimed during the campaign, that "the equal sunlight of liberty should shine upon every man, black or white, in the Union." The clouds had parted everywhere.
现在，总统控制了自己的政党，他可能会实现他在竞选期间宣布的梦想，即“自由平等的阳光应该照耀在联邦的每个人身上，无论黑人还是白人。”到处都是云彩散去。
Lucretia was well again, and waiting for him in New Jersey.
卢克丽霞康复了，正在新泽西等他。
Candice Millard, Author, Destiny of the Republic: : It's been such an incredibly stressful and difficult four months.

One of the most important popularizers of germ theory was a Scottish surgeon named Joseph Lister, who said to himself, "If there are living germs in the air while surgeons are operating, that could be the source of wound infections.
细菌理论最重要的普及者之一是一位名叫约瑟夫·李斯特的苏格兰外科医生，他自言自语道：“如果外科医生在手术时空气中存在活细菌，那可能就是伤口感染的根源。
So I am going to experiment as a surgeon by using disinfectant." And he chose carbolic acid as his disinfectant of choice.
所以我打算作为一名外科医生使用消毒剂进行实验。”他选择石炭酸作为他选择的消毒剂。
So antisepsis was the removal of germs.
所以防腐就是去除细菌。
It's what the phrase meant.
这就是这句话的意思。
He does this starting in the mid-1860's and he sees a spectacular reduction in post-operative infection.

Did everyone believe Lister?
大家都相信李斯特吗？
No.

Candice Millard, Author, Destiny of the Republic: : Like many other doctors, Bliss believed that antisepsis was still too unproven, and he's not going to risk the president's health on any sort of newfangled medical idea.
坎迪斯·米勒德（Candice Millard），《共和国的命运》作者：：和许多其他医生一样，布利斯认为消毒剂还没有得到证实，他不会因为任何新奇的医学理念而拿总统的健康冒险。

我不知道克利夫兰的战争对你来说是什么样的，但我的较轻的职责包括治疗数千处枪伤。
So: you may observe.
所以：你可以观察一下。
But you will not interfere, and you will not offer your opinions in front of the president or Mrs. Garfield.

But afterward his career was almost destroyed by Washington's medical establishment, in part because he took an interest in the new field of homeopathy.
