Alexander Hamilton (Brian F.
亚历山大·汉密尔顿（布莱恩·F.

Ron Chernow, Biographer: He felt that if the federal government assumed the debt from the states, that all of the creditors would feel that they had a direct financial stake in the survival of the still shaky, new federal government -- because that became the government that was going to pay them off.
罗恩·切尔诺（Ron Chernow），传记作者：他认为，如果联邦政府承担了各州的债务，那么所有债权人都会觉得，他们在仍然摇摇欲坠的新联邦政府的生存中拥有直接的经济利益——因为联邦政府将成为偿还他们债务的政府。
Alexander Hamilton (Brian F.
亚历山大·汉密尔顿（布莱恩·F.
O'Byrne): A national debt, if it's not excessive, will be a national blessing.

Freeman, Historian: And Hamilton really despairs, and thinks to himself and says at the time -- if this collapses, I might as well just go home because this is it.
历史学家弗里曼：汉密尔顿真的很绝望，他当时心里想，如果这一切崩溃了，我还不如回家，因为就是这样了。
If we can't take over these local debts, then it's like a vote of no confidence in me.
如果我们不能接管这些地方债务，那就等于对我投了不信任票。
Alexander Hamilton (Brian F.
亚历山大·汉密尔顿（布莱恩·F.
O'Byrne): This is the first symptom of a spirit that must either be killed, or it will kill the Constitution.
奥伯恩）：这是一种必须被消灭的精神的第一个症状，否则它将杀死宪法。
Narrator: In 1790, New York City is a very small place, and Hamilton and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson are neighbors.
旁白：1790年，纽约市很小，汉密尔顿和国务卿托马斯·杰斐逊是邻居。
Jefferson has a more pressing concern than assumption -- the location of the nation's capital, presently situated in New York City.
杰斐逊有一个比假设更紧迫的担忧——国家首都的位置，目前位于纽约市。
He is eager to move the seat of government far from the foul air of the country's commercial center.
他渴望将政府所在地迁离该国商业中心的污浊空气。
Thomas Jefferson (Daniel Gerroll): New York City is a sewer containing all the depravities of human nature -- a world apart from small towns and the countryside, where crime is scarcely heard of, breaches of order are rare, and society -- if not refined -- is rational, moral, and affectionate.
托马斯·杰斐逊（丹尼尔·格罗尔饰）：纽约市是一个包含了人性所有堕落的下水道——一个远离小镇和乡村的世界，那里几乎没有听说过犯罪，破坏秩序的行为也很少见，而社会——如果不是精致的话——是理性的、道德的和充满感情的。
Narrator: The countryside that Jefferson and his allies favor for the nation's new capital would be a nice piece of empty land on the banks of the Potomac, not far from their plantations in Virginia.
旁白：杰斐逊和他的盟友青睐的乡村作为国家的新首都将是波托马克河畔的一块漂亮的空地，距离他们在弗吉尼亚州的种植园不远。
Hamilton wants to keep the capital where it is.
汉密尔顿希望将首都保留在原处。
He is so closely connected with New York City that his enemies call it "Hamiltonopolis." One day, the two neighbors cross paths on the street.
他与纽约市的联系如此紧密，以至于他的敌人称其为“汉密尔顿波利斯”。有一天，两个邻居在街上相遇。
They agree to meet for dinner at Jefferson's house on Maiden Lane to talk out their differences.
他们同意在杰斐逊位于梅登巷的家中共进晚餐，讨论彼此之间的分歧。
Jefferson invites a key congressman and fellow Virginian, James Madison.
杰斐逊邀请了一位重要的国会议员、弗吉尼亚同胞詹姆斯·麦迪逊。
The result is one of the most famous meals in American history -- the Dinner Table Compromise.
结果就是美国历史上最著名的一餐——餐桌妥协。
Hamilton seizes on the capital as a bargaining chip.
汉密尔顿抓住资本作为讨价还价的筹码。
If the Virginians will support federal assumption of the debt, he will agree to moving the capital south.
如果弗吉尼亚人支持联邦政府承担债务，他将同意将首都迁往南方。
He knows this deal will not endear him to his fellow New Yorkers.
他知道这笔交易不会让他受到纽约同胞的喜爱。
Richard J.
理查德·J。
Payne, Historian: I think this goes back again to Hamilton the outsider.
佩恩，历史学家：我认为这又可以追溯到局外人汉密尔顿。
He isn't from New York, he's a West Indian.
他不是来自纽约，他是西印度群岛人。
And so he's willing to sacrifice state and local interests for the broader national purpose, a strong United States.
因此，他愿意为了更广泛的国家目标，即一个强大的美国而牺牲州和地方利益。
If that meant sacrificing New York, he'd do it -- and he did it.
如果这意味着牺牲纽约，他就会这么做——他也这么做了。
Narrator: With assumption, Hamilton lays the foundation for the credit of the United States -- the ability to borrow at home and abroad.
旁白：通过假设，汉密尔顿为美国的信用奠定了基础——在国内外借款的能力。
In time, this will bring about the prosperity that allows the democratic experiment to flourish.
随着时间的推移，这将带来繁荣，让民主实验蓬勃发展。
Jefferson thinks that by gaining the capital for the south, he has won a major victory.
杰斐逊认为，通过为南方夺取首都，他已经赢得了一场重大胜利。

乔安妮·B.
Freeman, Historian: He proposed a lot of really big and grand ideas, and they were beginning to be accepted and supported.
历史学家弗里曼：他提出了很多非常宏大的想法，并且这些想法开始被接受和支持。
But he never was someone who felt that he could sit back and rest on his laurels in any way.
但他从来都不是一个觉得自己可以高枕无忧的人。
I think he always feels, always, that it could be taken away at a second's notice.
我想他总是觉得，它可能会在一瞬间被夺走。

威拉德·斯特恩·兰德尔，作家：她说她来自纽约，她知道汉密尔顿是纽约人，她需要一种方式回家与家人团聚。
Her husband had abandoned her, she didn't have any money, was there anything that he could do to help her.
她的丈夫抛弃了她，她又没有钱，他有什么办法可以帮助她吗？
So he went around that night with a bank draft to her boardinghouse.
于是那天晚上他拿着一张银行汇票到她的寄宿处去。
The draft would be worth about four hundred dollars today.
今天的汇票价值约为四百美元。
Went up the back stairs, not the front.
走的是后面的楼梯，不是前面的楼梯。
Knocked on her door.
敲了敲她的门。
She ushered him into her bedroom and pretty quickly made it plain that there were other ways that she could repay him for his generosity.

Freeman, Historian: And they actually, in a sense, do the decent thing.
历史学家弗里曼：从某种意义上说，他们实际上做了体面的事情。
They don't just publicize this, they go to him in person and they say, we're going to give you a chance to explain this -- but explain this.
他们不只是宣传这一点，他们亲自去找他，他们说，我们将给你一个机会来解释这一点——但请解释一下。

历史学家弗里曼：他说，哦不不不，那些我付钱的小纸条——那些我没有用政府资金做任何事情，我实际上是在勒索，因为我和他的妻子上床了。
And then he presents them with all sorts of evidence to show them that honestly, it's all about adultery -- it's not about public funds at all.
然后他向他们提供各种证据，向他们表明，老实说，这一切都与通奸有关——根本与公共资金无关。
And apparently the three gentlemen are, on the one hand, very embarrassed.
显然，三位先生一方面非常尴尬。
And on the other hand, they agree -- okay, you know, we're sorry, we misunderstood, we'll just keep this all between us.
另一方面，他们同意——好吧，你知道，我们很抱歉，我们误解了，我们只会把这一切保密。
Alexander Hamilton (Brian F.
亚历山大·汉密尔顿（布莱恩·F.
O'Byrne): I wasn't entirely a dupe in this plot, but her act succeeded in keeping me uncertain.
奥伯恩）：在这个情节中我并不完全是个受骗者，但她的行为成功地让我感到不确定。
In the end, my feelings -- no, no, it was my vanity -- led me to believe that she truly loved me.
最后，我的感觉——不，不，这是我的虚荣心——让我相信她真的爱我。
I've paid a high price for my folly and can never think back on it without disgust and self-condemnation.
我为我的愚蠢行为付出了高昂的代价，回想起来我总是感到厌恶和自我谴责。
Narrator: This will not be the end of the Maria Reynolds affair.
旁白：这不会是玛丽亚雷诺兹事件的结束。

汉密尔顿日益增长的权力和影响力正在招致越来越多的政敌。
They are ready to exploit his every weakness.
他们准备利用他的每一个弱点。
Ron Chernow, Biographer: Hamilton didn't have that judgment that matched the great intellect and the great ability.
罗恩·切尔诺（Ron Chernow），传记作者：汉密尔顿没有与伟大的智慧和能力相匹配的判断力。
And it's like the flaw of a figure in a Greek tragedy, who's headed for a great fall and doesn't see it coming.
这就像希腊悲剧中人物的缺陷，他正走向大跌，却没有预见到它的到来。
And then, as in a Greek tragedy, you sort of look back and you feel that this was bound to happen, that this is somehow the logical culmination of certain flaws in his personality.
然后，就像在希腊悲剧中一样，你回顾过去，你觉得这必然会发生，这在某种程度上是他性格中某些缺陷的逻辑顶峰。
Narrator: In 1791, President George Washington embarks on a three-month tour to assess the effect on the country of his government's policies.
旁白：1791 年，乔治·华盛顿总统开始了为期三个月的访问，以评估政府政策对国家的影响。
George Washington (Richard Easton): I have just completed my visit to the southern states and was able to see, with my own eyes, the situation of the country.
乔治·华盛顿（理查德·伊斯顿）：我刚刚结束了对南方各州的访问，亲眼看到了这个国家的情况。
Tranquility reigns among the people, and the new government is popular.
人民安宁，新政府深受民众欢迎。
Our public credit stands on a ground which three years ago only a madman would have thought possible.
我们的公共信用所建立的基础在三年前只有疯子才会认为可能。
The United States now enjoys a scene of prosperity and tranquility, where every man may sit under his own vine with none to molest him or make him afraid.

Narrator: George Washington knows that much of this prosperity is due to the economic policies of Alexander Hamilton.
旁白：乔治·华盛顿知道这种繁荣很大程度上归功于亚历山大·汉密尔顿的经济政策。
With Washington's backing, Hamilton now seems to be single-handedly running most of the Federal government.
在华盛顿的支持下，汉密尔顿现在似乎单枪匹马地管理着联邦政府的大部分事务。

Ron Chernow, Biographer: Washington is allowing, indeed encouraging, Hamilton to function as something more like a prime minister.
罗恩·切尔诺（Ron Chernow），传记作者：华盛顿允许（实际上是鼓励）汉密尔顿发挥更像总理的作用。
So that when you say to people that Hamilton was the first treasury secretary, it doesn't quite capture the magnitude of his power -- or why Hamilton was so controversial.
因此，当你对人们说汉密尔顿是第一任财政部长时，并没有完全反映出他的权力有多大——或者说为什么汉密尔顿如此有争议。
Narrator: The controversy began with the assumption of the debt, which has vastly expanded the power of the federal government.
旁白：争议始于债务承担，这极大地扩大了联邦政府的权力。
For Hamilton though, this was just the beginning.
但对于汉密尔顿来说，这仅仅是开始。
He sees America as an undeveloped land with enormous potential.
他认为美国是一片未开发的土地，潜力巨大。
He sets out to reshape the country, to transform it into one that can hold its head high among the great nations of the world.
