At the age of 49, he was American ambassador to Great Britain, the richest Irish American on earth.
49 岁时，他担任美国驻英国大使，是地球上最富有的爱尔兰裔美国人。
The presidency had seemed within his reach then, if not for himself, then for his firstborn son, Joe, Jr. The same ambition that fueled his relentless rise would ruin his career, then drive his sons on to heights he could never reach himself.
当时，总统职位似乎是他触手可及的，如果不是为了他自己，那么为了他的长子小乔。同样的野心推动了他的不断崛起，但却毁掉了他的职业生涯，然后将他的儿子们推向了他自己永远无法达到的高度。
Born in East Boston in 1888, the son of a liquor dealer and ward boss, Joe Kennedy was bright, eager, self-confident.
乔·肯尼迪 (Joe Kennedy) 1888 年出生于东波士顿，父亲是酒类经销商兼区长，他聪明、热心、自信。
He triumphed at the Boston Latin School, then went on to Harvard, where he was best remembered for the fierce competitiveness he would one day teach his sons; but he was Irish and Catholic and, therefore, not in the running for the most prestigious social clubs.
他在波士顿拉丁学校取得了优异的成绩，然后进入哈佛，在那里，他因有一天教给儿子们的激烈竞争而被人们铭记。但他是爱尔兰人和天主教徒，因此没有参加最负盛名的社交俱乐部的竞选。
It was the first defeat in his life and he never forgot it.
这是他人生中的第一次失败，他永远不会忘记。
Professor Milton Katz, Harvard Law School: : He never felt himself “fully accepted” when he was an undergraduate at Harvard.

Then, at its peak, he unloaded the stock and reaped the benefit.
然后，在股票达到顶峰时，他抛售股票并从中获利。
Kennedy told friends he needed to make this easy money fast— “before they pass a law against it.” All through the Prohibition years, there were stories that he made still more money importing illegal liquor — bootlegging — and he forged alliances with the underworld that would endure throughout his life.
肯尼迪告诉朋友们，他需要快速赚到这笔钱——“在他们通过法律反对它之前”。在禁酒令期间，有传言称他通过进口非法酒类（走私）赚了更多钱，并且他与黑社会结成了终生结盟的联盟。
Back in Brookline, Rose barely knew what her husband did for a living.
